Haily, McAlester Senior

Haily came out to shoot her senior portraits yesterday afternoon. She has such a beautiful face, I had a hard time staying away from her. Thanks for giving it your all and letting us in. We had so much fun! (Even though your little sis didn't like me too much, I won't hold that against you!) Thank you Momma, for trusting me with your beautiful gal. She is as sweet as they come and I had a great time with you guys. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek...her name was Lola, she was a show do...oh, sorry....Have a great week girls!!!

Her name was Lola...

she was a show dog...Sorry Barry! But I just love her theme song! Big sister Haily was sweet enough to let her tag along. Momma really wanted a few shots of her two favorite gals. While sis was getting ready, we had to take a few shots of Lola by herself. Don't let the sweet eyes fool ya, that is how she draws you in. Then, when you least expect it, bam! Just kidding...although she did give me a little smack talk in the beginning, I think it was just the nerves. Diva's tend to be that way, ya know!

The whole clan....

Well, the crazy winds decided to show themselves Sunday afternoon. (This IS Oklahoma.) Just in time for Tabatha's family to arrive. They were great troopers and we managed to make the most of the afternoon. There are way too many shots to show a good sample here, but I couldn't make you wait any longer. Here are a few that I think will touch your heart. Have a great Monday and thanks for bringing out the people who make your heart smile. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. :)

Pool Family

This is Mr. Jack. Isn't he so handsome?! He was a total pleasure on Sunday, when Mom and Dad brought him by. I haven't seen him since last year this time. See, this is one of our Dallas families. Thank you guys for swinging by. It was great seeing you all again! The Christmas pictures are super sweet! Thanks Dad for being such a trooper! We don't want to spoil the surprise, so those of you who will be lucky enough to get a Pool Christmas card this year...it is going to be a special treat! Have a great week you guys! Thanks again!!

Mother and Daughter.....

Little Miss K. was our first Halloween costume of the season. Well, except for KK and her cousin Madison, but yal will have to wait to see those. Doesn't she make the cutest cat! And here she is just chillin with Momma. I just love her disposition. Such a sweetheart!
And I finally got Mom in front of the camera. Simply beautiful, both of you. There is nothing like the bond between a mother and daughter. Thank you so much for trusting us with your precious moments.

Sanders Family

Saturday afternoon the Sanders family ran by to take a few shots with us. Little sister had a ballgame that went into THREE overtimes, so it had them running a little behind...but the great news is Stuart came out on top! Great job, Girls!! And everyone was on their game when they arrived, so we had some fun, they rocked the lens and here are a few for you guys to enjoy!
Had to post one of sweet Miss K, in the vintage finish that I know you love. Have a great week!!

Johnson Family

Ryan and Becca brought out their handsome little guys on Friday night. Their oldest was so nervous! It was so sweet! He had us laughing so hard! Once he relaxed a little, he really turned on the charm. He plays his guitar for his little bro and as you can see from this first image, he is admired by the newest member of the family. They both have these beautiful blue eyes...Well, see for yourself....
Thanks you guys for coming out and spending the evening with us. You all have a beautiful family! Thanks for the smiles, Mr. C! I haven't laughed this hard in quite a while! I hope you got an awesome game! You did a great job!!

Shala - Savanna Senior

Sweet, sassy, and a little shy Shala visited with us for a little while this morning. I just LOVE my senior girls! They always come with tons of stuff and are up for anything! We started in studio and let it warm up a little. It was still quite chilly when we were shooting outside, so thank you Shala for being a little toughie! We really got some great stuff and here are a few for you to show off! Have a great weekend!!

Grease is the Word

So, I finally made it around to editing the Norris Family and the much anticipated "Grease" trilogy turned out so great! Thank you guys for having so much fun with it! It captures this family so well! I just love it! Creating talking pieces such as this is what I love about my job.

Trevor - Eufaula Senior

Well, I finally had the pleasure of meeting the rest of the Walch clan. Trevor came out yesterday afternoon with his Mom and little bro, Hayden, so we could celebrate his senior year. He is an amazing athlete and has been rewarded with a baseball scholarship to OSU! So, of course we had to get some shots of him in action! Thanks for coming out and hanging with us! We had a great time! It was wonderful meeting you all! Have a great week! And we will have to take you up on that Lake invitation, Mom!!! That sounds like a lot of fun!

Brother and Sister

We headed out on location this morning to catch up with Emily and Preston. We were so excited because they were one of our very first RPT families! It has been over 2 years since we got our lens on them and they have grown so much since then. Emily, you are such a beautiful gal! Thanks for having so much fun and for making us laugh!! And handsome Preston, you did an awesome job today! Thanks for hanging in there! And last but certainly NOT least, a BIG thanks to Mom for ALL her help today! We got some really great shots of your sweet babies. I can't wait for you to see them all, but here are just a few to hold you over! Have a great week!!

Brittany - Haileyville Senior

Brittany was our second senior of the day. She came with a little entourage...her big sister, her 4 mo nephew, and her best friend. It was great spending the afternoon with you gals. They are so fun and care free. Makes me miss the summers when we were young. Enjoy your final year and thanks for letting us be a part of it!



And here is one for you gals...Brittney & Brittany. They actually ventured OUT & INTO the pond! You go girls!

Ryan - Eufaula Senior

Congratulations Ironheads on your win last night! And thank you Ryan for getting up spankin early to shoot with us this morning. I know you were exhausted, so thanks! We journeyed over to Calvin to shoot at the bridge and then shot a few in and around the big town of Stuart. We had a great time hangin out with you guys. Here is a peek at your session. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Tucker - Crowder Senior

We had a great time hanging out with Tucker this morning. He came out to the studio to shoot his senior pics. Here is just a flavor of the shots from his shoot. Notice Tucker, I didn't post any 'smiling' shots. You guys will just have to wait to see those on the senior site. (He has the best smile!) Maybe you won't have to wait that long...I will post one when I am proofing his gallery. The day just got away from us and I wanted to get these up for you all to see! Hope you had fun at the carnival! Thanks for letting us be a part of your senior year!


And I just love this shot! I teased him, because when he put on this hat, he just came alive! No direction needed for this shot. Just Tucker being Tucker...Have a great weekend!
