Kayla - Kiowa Senior

Kayla is one determined girl! Those of us around here know that it has been an EXTREMELY WET & COLD fall for Oklahoma. Well, Kayla has had her mind on the above shot for some time. She was not backing down and did not allow the weather to deter her. And I have to give her some props, it was COLD and her teeth did want to chatter, but she perservered! And the above shot is STUNNING! Great job girl! Here are a few more from her mini session that we had last Saturday. Beautiful girl. Blessings.....

Presley - Indianola Senior

In case you don't know this, Presley LOVES pink!! Lol! So we thought it was fitting to give her a pink brick for her senior shots! We like to show some love to our seniors around here! They are always so much fun to shoot and always up for trying anything. Thank you girl for choosing us to show off your style! We had a ton of fun and appreciate you braving the cold for us! Hope you like your sneak! Have a great week!! Blessings....

Look who's TWO!

Mr. T came out last week with his Momma to celebrate his 2nd birthday. He was so sweet and full of all kinds of smiles. It was so nice meeting you both! Here are just a few in his handsome football sweater. Blessings....

Halloween Trunk-or-Treat in Stuart

As a community courtesy, I will occasionally post information about what is going on around our town. I was contacted earlier last week from a friend/client about a Trunk-or-Treat that his church is sponsoring for Halloween. These are always so much fun and a great, safe way for our kiddos to get their sweets. Here is a note from Kelley Benson, the pastor at the Church of Christ in Stuart, explaining the event...

On Saturday, October 31st, we are having a trunk or treat in the parking lot at the church from 5pm-8pm or until the candy runs out. Bring your cars/trunks or pickup beds to church and pass out candy to the kids, and enjoy some games, hot cocoa, and popcorn while you're there. Having your trunks/pickup beds decorated would be wonderful but is not necessary. If you don't want to decorate your trunks, don't let that discourage you from coming. If anybody would like to volunteer for that position please contact Kelley. Please come out and support this and let the town of Stuart know how much we care about our kids.

Weeks Family

My good friend Tabatha and her fam came out on Sunday afternoon for some updated shots. It is always nice spending time with them. KK was very happy to have Miss B. over. They demanded a 'play' date to be scheduled since she was here on business only. lol! Thank yal so much for hanging out with us. Hope yal have a great week! Love and blessings....

Thank you Miss B. for working the lens for Miss Renee! Love you, little lady!!

We had a great time hanging with him, his Momma & little sis. Thank yal so much for coming out and letting me be a part of his senior year!

And for those of you who don't know....The Talihina Tigers are UNDEFEATED!!! Congratulations! Good luck as you finish your season and head to the playoffs! GO TIGERS!

Hilary - McAlester Senior

Things I learned about Hilary:
1. If she were my child, I would do anything possible to make her smile! She has the most beautiful smile :)
2. She is shy...at first, then her sweetness will knock you over.
3. She is beautiful, inside and out.
4. She can be sassy, with a little nudging.
5. She is afraid of FISH! Yes, which make the pond shots that much more AMAZING and a testament to her strength!

It was such a pleasure spending Friday afternoon with Hilary and her Mom. We had so much fun and laughed the whole session. You couldn't help yourself. Hilary, God has got amazing plans for your future! He wouldn't give a smile that melts hearts to just anyone. Use it wisely. You should have to carry a permit! Love and blessings beautiful girl....

Colt & Kayla

These two love birds will be tying the knot later on this year. It is a time of celebration and planning and I thank you guys for allowing me to be a part of this special time. I wish you the very best and many years of love and happiness. Blessings...

Boys, boys, boys!

The Hokit family spent the afternoon with us on Sunday. Mom & Dad and all 5 boys! Yep, count 'em up. I have to say, I was a little nervous about having 5 boys in the house at one time. This coming from a Mom of 1 girl. lol! I was blown away by these kiddos. So much fun and they all worked the lens. Little man was so in love with his big brothers. It was so sweet to see. I know he will have a lot of protection through his years.

We shot them first in their family gear and then they got to show off what makes them smile...you got it...SPORTS! Hope yal enjoy your sneak peek! Have a great weekend. Blessings...

I am a Ballerina!

All I heard last year was how KK wanted to be a ballerina. I made her take tap and told her that if she stayed with it and proved to me that she could see it through, then this year she could take ballet. I can still hear her now, "But Mom, I am a ballerina, NOT a tap dancer!" lol! Well, she kept her end of the bargain, and so did I. And just for the record, I think she makes a beautiful ballerina, or tap dancer, or construction worker. Whatever God intends for her to be, I know she will shine. And I thank Him for trusting us with her for this brief moment. I love you, ballerina girl.

Vanhook Family

This fun family came out last Saturday to get some updated shots of their growing family. We had such a blast with them that we can't wait for the next session! KK just about lost it when they left. What am I saying, she DID lose it! lol! Thank you guys for making my job so FUN! Yal are such a great group and a blessed addition to the RPT family.

Here is a shot of Miss. M & Mr. M just chillin by the pond. He was so tired, but was such a trooper for us. And check out his little chair! Isn't it the sweetest?! Grandma made it and be sure to check out their booth at the Robber's Cave Craft Fair next week! I picked up a few things last year and will be grabbing some more this year!

Thanks again for making the drive and have a great week! See yal at the craft fair!! Blessings...

Sweet Candy Girl

Momma called me with this idea to shoot her sweet gal with all this candy! Don't ya just love it! Too sweet! Miss P was so funny, though. She kept looking at us like we were CRAZY! Who gives a child all this candy with no limitations? lol! She definitely didn't understand. It was precious! Thank you guys for coming out and getting sugared up! We loved seeing you both and getting all sticky together! Love and blessings....

On a recent vacation...

While up in Maine this past August, I found out my cousin was wanting to break onto the modeling scene. In need of a portfolio, I offered to help a cousin out. You photog's know that it was so painful to be in a new setting with a beautiful gal 'wanting' to take pictures! lol! How could I resist that! We ended up having to do a couple of mini sessions on two different days, one land and one water session. They had some beautiful locations, just minutes from the camp. Here are just a few from those sessions...Thanks lady for letting me have some fun! love ya....
