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....
