Beautiful Legacy

I don't have another way of putting it. "A Beautiful Legacy of Women" is the only way I can describe the Supenski ladies. Not only are their faces beaming, but their hearts are as well. And the tradition keeps getting passed down through the granddaughters. I wouldn't mind taking pictures of them everyday. Just beautiful.

Sunday Stunner.

I met up with kindergarten sweethearts, Kourtney and Gerdon, one Sunday afternoon. Kourtney wore her tall, black, "mean" boots. I couldn't help but think how they clashed with her sweet personality. I can see why Gerdon chased her around the playground so many years. (Or was it the other way around?) When put together, they are such a stunning couple. I've never looked forward to going to Atkinson so much in my life. See you on your long-awaited day next summer, Kourtney and Gerdon...and I'm sure it will be another stunner.

Quick Wit

The Wacker children were fashionably dressed in garments made by Kara herself. I learned two things that day, told to me straight from their oldest son (God bless him)...
Me: "So is your mom a good cook?"
Son: "You darn right she is!"
(HA! Quick, witty reply from a 4 year old. I like this little guy!)

Me: "What else is she good at?"
Son: "She makes good shirts."
(And the hits just keep comin...)
So glad I had the chance to hang around for a few laughs. Thanks.

Still Little Lady Laila

Her cute little lips, sparkling eyes, and cute little walk bring me joy. I met Laila when she was just a few days old. Since then, I've taken her pictures a few times, and she never fails to warm my heart. She's a daddy's little girl. I can see her playing in mommy's jewelry box in a few years, if she hasn't already. She is Little Lady Laila.

Humble Man

Mrs. Erickson was my 6th grade teacher. I never knew her husband very well. But something about his smile that day of family pictures makes me all "warm and fuzzy" inside. It was such a proud smile. A humble smile. A loving smile. But then again, why wouldn't have such an expression? All of his family was together. And looking oh so beautiful together.

Not a Fan

Mason's not a fan of the camera, he would rather turn his head and run the other way. But whether he likes it or not, I'm a big fan of him. He's quite the charmer with his flashy blue eyes and loving smile. Mason is soon to be a big brother. I'm willing to bet the next one has some flashy blue eyes as well. Best wishes Hayes family.

Marley and Lily Rule the Roost

There's no doubt about it, Marley and Lily, the 2 grandchildren of the Danilson group, rule the roost. When these to precious lil gals get older, I think they could probably ask grandma for anything, and receive it. But after taking one look at them, I probably wouldn't be able to say no either. I bet you wouldn't stand a chance either...

Wet Toelle's with Towels

We picked the hottest day in August to take pictures. The Toelle's, who came fully prepared with towels to whip their brow, were glistening with both sweat and happiness. Gary and Joyce were so happy to have everyone together, and just beamed with pride when the told me about each of their grandkids. Through the sweat, I was delighted to capture the moment for them.

Bitten by the Love Bug

I've never experienced mosquitos this thick. As they buzzed by my ears, Whitney and Ryan kissed. They swarmed my head, Whitney and Ryan held hands. They too were bitten. But bitten by another bug... the love bug.

They are such a pleasant, down-to-earth couple. By being around them just a few hours, I can tell how much they adore each other. Their love for each other radiates. Whitney looks at Ryan with smitten eyes, and Ryan just smiles back. They are pretty cute.

However, I don't know what I'm looking forward to more in November - shooting their wedding, or no mosquitos. ;)
