Just wanted to share a few of my kiddos. We kicked off a “no school day” day with a morning run to Krispy Kremes. Yummmm… It was a great start to our day!

I just loved this little series, vintage. And also, I want to squish his cheekies.

julie: Actually this is crystal, on Julies computer. I love these pictures and have been trying to leave a comment...I 'm not that smart..

I told you you’d be seeing lots more of these girls!
Anna was up for any/everything. And a total natural. I’ve got to find a location like this here in NC. Loved it!

And this is Capri (love the name!) Lots more of her to come. She was a great sport too!

More of my stinkin’ cute nephew.
This one cracked me up. I can just hear him saying, “get out” (Elaine style from Seinfeld).

So I had to edit just one more before bed. I swear, every one I edit becomes my new favorite. The light here is so yummy! Anna, you need to model professionally girl. You have some serious talent!

Now seriously, I’m off to bed.

A.ma.zing!

I had the opportunity to attend a super amazing photography workshop this past weekend hosted by Tiffany from Follow Your Art Photography. Her work is really incredible. The girls we worked with were beautiful and so, so much fun. Here are a few of my favorites (so far- I’ve barely scratched the surface.) Loved the locations, the light, the color, the texture. I loved it all! Stay tuned for more!

Tiffany Burke: These look AMAZING!! It was so awesome to meet you, I am so happy you made the trip out! Really these look GREAT!

admin: Thanks so much Tiffany! The trip was definately worth it! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent and knowledge! It was awesome!

I love this family! It was so great having you all in town. Also, you made my job easy!
Here are a few favorites:

And your slideshow!

Thanks for looking!

Leslie Call: beautiful pics, Dest, as always!

Andrea: You are THE BEST! Thanks so much for taking these. I don't know how you made us look good even with a super-squirmy Care Bear.

admin: Thanks, Leslie and Andrea! I'm so glad you like them, Andrea. They were fun to edit. Such a beautiful family!!

Braxton was one happy little man. And my nephew- so it was lots of fun. (Although super windy! That’s what you get in Idaho I guess.)
It was so good to finally meet you, buddy. Hope it’s not another 10 months before I see you again!
Thanks for your patience, Beckii! I still have more to edit but wanted to at least post a few!

Beckii: I LOVE THEM!!! Thanks :)

Woohoo! I just found out that the motherboard on my computer is not dead. Bad memory instead. That is seriously great news! So the computer is functioning again and I’ve had some time to work on editing. However, I cannot get on line on that computer so it may be a day or two before I can post some of the pics. Hopefully it’s an easy fix. I am sooooo relieved!

The motherboard on my computer kicked the bucket, went ka-put. It’s so sad. If you are waiting for proofs bear with me (so sorry). I’m trying like a mad lady to find the part I need.
I shall return. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

It’s a wonder I’ve gotten anything done besides editing pics of my cutie pie nieces and nephews. So hard to choose. Ethan was a complete natural in front of the camera. It was so funny. And Katie was such a good sport to do more pictures the next morning too because the sun was setting fast! Thanks, girlie!

ps. Jenny, sorry you had to wait so long- I posted a few extra to make it up to you! And there are still more coming.
pps. Beckii- yours are next!

beckii: jeez dest. it's not like you have a life or anything . . . not to mention three others. no need for apologies. we're just glad you did them. actually, we're just glad you came. pictures or no pictures.

So, the title is a line from a movie that has been in my head ever since we went to Idaho. Can you name that movie?
More from our trip west! Beautiful family. And they’re mine! I’m so lucky to have all these willing semi-willing-possibly-bribed models to torture,uh, photograph. Love how these turned out. More to come! We miss you already!

janet: toy story!! did i win??? All of these pictures are great!

admin: I think it's Toy Story 2 (but I could be wrong) Close enough. You're the winner!!

julie: I was clueless on that one! The pics are great, thank you again for doing them! miss ya tons!

I was so excited when I received the call to do Carolyn’s one year session. Her family was one of the first sessions I did since going out on my own a couple of years ago, so it meant alot to me that they asked me to capture their newest addition. Such a beautiful little girl. She was all smiles while we worked outside. Then the rain forced us to finish up inside. She did a great job but she let me know when she was done. She purposely turned her head the opposite direction and refused to look at me. Or else she’d look right past me. She had spunk. It was so funny! I really enjoyed our session.

Here are a few of my favorites:storycardssquared04

julie: As always, so cute!!!

Martha: Destinee, these are wonderful! You really captured Carolyn's wonderful personality.

admin: Thanks so much. I'm so glad, Martha! It really was a great session! What a doll!
