Miss Balie

This is my cousin's daughter, and she is such a cutie! Balie is full of personality, and I'm very jealous of her hair! Balie is turning 5 here soon, and we wish her a very happy day!

And on a personal note:

My heart is hurting. We lost our Paiger-Dog this weekend. We had done several tests in November of last year and narrowed down her possible diagnosis to diabetes insipidus (a rare form of diabetes). As we have come to learn, one of the causes of this type of diabetes is a brain tumor. She started suffering this week with what appeared to be dizziness and headaches. She was also starting to have seizures. We did not want to let her go, but couldn't bear to see her suffer. Just wanted to share a few pictures of Paige. There is an emptiness in our house without her.

I got the chance to take some pictures of my beautiful cousin recently. She is graduating from college with a degree in nursing! We did the shots for some graduation announcements -- oh, it is nice to have such a lovely, cooperative subject every once in a while!

Happy Easter

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter, but I still have to include a few photos! This is what you get when you ask my little model to pose for you! Went for a retro look with these (thus the different color).

Carsyn in her Easter dress. I have more, but I'm behind so I limited myself to editing just one.

And Logan -- my Mom & Dad's new baby. She is so cute and soooooo onery!

Family Fun ~ Kirtland, NM Photographer

The Whipples were such good sports. I had them come early in the morning, and it was cold, but they were still able to put on their game faces! They are truly a wonderful (and beautiful) family and so enjoyable to work with. Thanks again!

Going Overboard with My Share ~ Farmington, NM Photographer

This family is entirely too photogenic! I ended up with so many "keepers." My kids have also enjoyed getting to know Kender, Kelsye, and Kenzy.

And they are going to be adding one more to all of the cuteness!

Thanks again! It really was great working with you all!
