Stacy & Troy's Wedding

I had so much fun photographing Stacy & Troy's wedding! They had such a beautiful day and was surrounded by so many family & friends. Congratulations and best wishes!

:::Kylee The Graduate:::

Yay, she did it!!! I spent this past weekend in Bucyrus for my niece's HS graduation.

I can't believe my little KyKy is all grown up. I remember the day my sister brought her home from the hospital, I was almost eleven years old and I was soooo EXCITED to have a little niece (mainly just to dress up...lol!!)

She has given me so many wonderful memories that I don't even know where to start. I do know that I'm going to miss doing her hair and make-up for homecoming and prom. I won't miss the blow ups when things didn't go her way (you're so lucky I didn't hit you with the brush....hahaha!!) but no matter what I'll always be there for her.

I'll end this blog by saying what my brother, Jerald, said to me when I graudated high school...

"Dream Big & Dare to Fail!"

Love you Kylee!! I'm so proud of the young lady you have become and can't wait to see what the future holds for you!!

Love, Aunt Erika

Katie & Nate's Engagement Session

I've known Katie and Nate for a long time (we all attended PEVS) and growing up in a small town...well, you just about know everyone.

I was so surprised & excited when Katie called to book me for her photographer. They hadn't told many people about the engagement so this was news to me and I had to keep it a secret...haha! Anyways, these two are a perfect match and I had so much fun shooting this session.

I'm looking forward to the wedding and wish you two the best!

Jamy & Addison

Look at these pretty girls!! I had so much fun with Jamy & Addison. I can't believe how much they have grown since I started taking their pictures. I do believe baby Addison was only 10-11 days old and look at her now.

Check out Jamy doing the "Superman" on the swing. She's so much fun and FULL OF ENERGY! Baby Addison was very quiet. She was investigating the grass for the first time...she LOVED it!!

Thank you for letting me capture your day!!

Baby Dexter

I was so excited when Dexter's mommy emailed me wanting to schedule Dexter's first photo shoot!! Baby Dexter was born at 28 weeks and is truly a "MIRCLE BABY." He has grown so much and is very alert!!!....he's so sweet & precious!!! Congratulations Andy & Sarah!!!

I had fun shooting Dexter's first photo shoot and THANK mom & dad for letting me capture his precious little life!! I look forward to the family photo shoot today!

WT Senior Ambassador...Krista

Meet my WT Senior Ambassador, Krista. Krista was referred to me by one of my clients. I was so excited that she was willing to do this for my business.

I had a blast shooting her senior photos. We went from location to location and tried different things. I have to say my favorites are of her sitting on the junky TV and with the Pepsi mural. It was so hard to choose which ones I wanted to post on my blog (too many good ones)...so these are the ones that I picked.

Thank you Krista for helping me out and I hope you like your photos.

Sugar & Spice...Zoe & Ella

I had a photo shoot yesterday with my husband's cousin and his two little girls, Zoe & Ella. I had such a wonderful time capturing their "little moments" with their daddy. What a sweet Father's Day present...which reminds me, I need to start on mine.

Anyways, back to the shoot...You never know what to expect with little ones or how they will adjust to the camera, so I just followed them around and let them run the show!! The only way I could get the youngest, Ella, to look at the camera was by telling her that Elmo was in my lens...hahaha!!! So she kept saying "Hi Elmo!"....how sweet!!

Thank you to the Gorrell family for letting me capture your moments!!! I hope you like the photos!!

My first Ambassador...

I just recently shot photos of Corbin, who will be a Senior this fall. I feel so old because I remember when he was just a little squirt and now he's a young man...where did the years go??? Anyways, we had a lot of fun shooting at different locations. I even had his girlfriend join in on some of the photos. Thank you so much Corbin!!! I hope you like them.

New BLOG...New LIFE!

Togetherness...

Grandma with her boys, Braeden & Boston.

I'm so excited to start my new blog and I'm excited about LIFE!! I went to my very first "Relay for Life" yesterday. It was an awesome experience!! My family and I went to watch my mother-in-law, Lori, walk along with the many "Survivors"...yes that's right, she is a SURVIVOR!!!! She is a beautiful, strong woman, who is determined!!! We are very blessed to have her in our lives!

About ten months ago she received news that she had cancer. My mother-in-law was very LUCKY because her cancer was contained in one area and had not spread. She had surgery to remove it and so far...Cancer FREE!!!!

We all are guilty of taking life for granted but when you lose someone you love or faced with a life threatening disease, you then realize that we only have one life to live and to live it to its fullest!! Leave it in God's hands and thank Him for your "Today's" because you never know if you will have tomorrow.

I will end my blog by saying "Embrace Life."
