Thank you to all my clients and friends. You have made my year beautiful. I have enjoyed every single shoot. We have been together through the 110 degree oklahoma weather, the rain, the wind (that lovely oklahoma wind) and even the sleet! I will take every memory you have given me and keep it in my heart. I pray this Christmas you have peace and love. I also pray the new year has amazing things in store for you and of course....more photoshoots with me!

In love,

Tiffany Martha....

Thanks also to my family for being so supportive of this business. Jeremy....I couldn't do this without you.

one more time...

another herring family.. thanks for asking me to do this shoot. so glad i could squeeze you in last minute! we pulled up to the location and what? it started to sleet. ugh...oklahoma weather! but what troopers you all were! it was FREEZING....and that sweet maddie didn't fuss at all! hope i gave you some memories to cherish. much love.

Another senior shoot. What a great one! We had so many beautiful fall photos...this was one of my favorite shoots this year! I picked this photo because of the Chandler jacket. Ahhh...I miss those red and blue colors! I can't believe it has been almost 17 years since I graduated from Chandler...enjoy every minute Cole! You are a great kid with a wonderful family! You have an amazing future ahead of you. Go Lions!

I'm so blessed to have this family in my life. Lisa has been there for me in the good times and bad..since we were just little girls. She gave me my most precious gift in life...she took care of my children for me so I could spend the last days of my daddy's life with him. She also saved my life :) by taking me to the hospital when I was having an appendicitis. (she also almost beat up the front desk lady while at the hospital...but that is a different story.) Some months go by and we don't get to even talk but I always know it is the same friendship we've always had...nothing changes. Thank you for always being here for me. Love ya.

hehe

Happy Birthday to my youngest older brother. You are such a wonderful man. I have always been so proud of you...(even in my senior yearbook..i said you inspired me more than anyone). Thank you for always being honest with me...even if I cry. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for making jeremy a part of our family. Thank you for loving my kids and being such a fun uncle hehe. Thank you for being a clown at my birthday when I was little. Thank you for thinking I can sing. Thank you for being the most giving and generous person I know.

I love you. martha

with a grateful heart....

husband, babies, mama, siblings, in-laws, friends (who i couldn't have made it without this year), loving teachers, home, health, love, grace. Lord..i am thankful.

Morris family

Morris family... I am so happy Shelby brought you to me. It was so much fun to see the cousins together and the love they have for each other. (Thank you Lord for that cousin shot). You have beautiful children. They were so well behaved and so great at picture taking! (I think miss gabby would still be there smiling if she could...my kind of girl!) Thanks for putting up with my photographer craziness! You were a blessing to me. Be blessed!

friends.

I am SO glad I met you in the gym 3 years ago...miss shelby! You were just as I had imagined..so sweet and kind. I have LOVED getting to know your little family. Such a nice husband (thank you for saving us on our tile issue!) and just look at those babies! (Yes, Jax...you still have my heart! ) Elliot...you are such a doll and knox (e)...how can anyone not love those eyes! Shelby, thanks for being my friend. So glad God brought you into my life. (but really...how can someone be THAT beautiful?)

Lovely Family....

Ben and Mandy,

Thank you so much for coming to the city for this shoot. You have an absolute beautiful family. I loved seeing the girls and your sweet little boy! I have such great memories of you both. I remember when you started dating in high school! Such a great couple then...such a great couple now. Blessings to your entire family. My love....

THANK YOU...

I just want to take the time today to say THANK YOU to all the men and woman who have served and are serving our country. My daddy was in the army for over 30 years. He was a helicopter pilot. He was in the korean and Vietnam wars. Besides being a husband and dad...I can say his greatest joy was serving our country. When he passed away 5 years ago.. he was honored beautifully by soldiers at his funeral. In fact, the young man who handed my mom the flag at his casket had tears in his eyes for my dad's service. My daddy was buried in his full army attire with his medals. The last thing I ever told my daddy was to go ahead and go to heaven...that his helicopter was waiting on him. Today as I reflect on his service...I thank you men and women for your service. Thank you for putting your life on the line for mine. For my children. For my children's children. Because of you..I sit here safely in my house today. I am in awe of your service for me. You make our country beautiful. Thank you.

Daddy... Today..I hope you are flying the best helicopter ever.

Gowan Family...

i am so full of happiness from this shoot. lindsay you are such a wonderful mommy...i am so happy for you. xoxo..always

Kirkpatrick family...you are so sweet! I just adored doing this shoot with you!! What a beautiful family you have and your little guy is so fun! Thank you for becoming my newest clients! Blessings!

Ok. I think this is the best picture.. and yes.. I know the sprinkler is in the shot. I know I am a professional photographer but give me a little break...I am also a mom (with a baby). What you don't see in this shot is that my nine month old is crawling around my feet (and I am desperately trying to keep sticks and leaves out of his mouth while taking the shot.) Also...I didn't even know my daughter had run up in the shot because as I was clicking I was looking down at...the baby. So thank you God for my kids. Thank you God for the sprinkler to remind me that the perfection isn't the shot...it is the life in the shot. Thank you God for the wind that let Jude's cape fly (or maybe he really is superman). Thank you God for a night to be together and see my super kids having fun with friends. They really are super kids. With every breath...I am grateful.

love..

love. strength. faith. thank you parker family for letting me do your photos again this year. i love you guys and am thankful you are in our lives. your faith and love is inspiring.

My sweet girl turned 6 on the 29th. How can it be that you are already 6? I just brought you home from the hospital. Your big brother just tried to feed you a cinnamon roll when you were 2 days old. You just said mama for the first time. You just turned one. You just...you just...you just... our our time is flying by. Don't think for one second I am taking it for granted. I look forward to every minute with you. You make me laugh everyday! You look up to your big bubba. You adore your baby bubba. Your heart belongs to daddy. YOu are our treasure. I will love you for the rest of my life ....and beyond. I will always love you Isabella D'ann.

SO.MUCH.FUN.

Meet my friends...Sam, Will and Cecilia. Aren't they the cutest people ever?! I have been best friends with their mama for over 30 years! Yep....I said over 30! Isn't that crazy! I couldn't imagine my life without her. We have been there for each other through everything....elementary school (and Tiffy does not be mean!), Jr high, high school, college (life took us in different directions..but we always still communicated), marriage and even the death of both of our dad's and finally....MOTHERHOOD. We try to change the world together everyday...even if just by phone. You are an amazing mother. You are strong, smart, sensitive...AMAZING. Thank you for driving 2 hours to my house to let me do this shoot. Thank you for being my friend.

Seriously? When did this happen? When did you all grow up? Carson almost 15...Madeline 10 and Claire bear 8! What? I was just changing your diapers yesterday! I was just giving you whatever you wanted (that's what Aunts are supposed to do) and playing monopoly until I was crazy! I have loved each of you from the moment I knew of you. You each have had my heart and Kiki will always love and be proud of you. I am so happy to be a part of your lives.

oh. my. word.

This is Hattie Mae. I know...I know... a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e. We are super excited to have her be our neighbor soon! I just love this sweet family and was so happy when her mommy asked me to do this shoot. Thank you Miss Hattie for playing with me. Love you bunches!

Thank you sweet Frazier family. Thank you Eric for serving our country. Because of you...we are safe. Thank you Hayley for being the wife who takes care of everything so your husband can serve and keep us safe. Thank you little sweet girl of theirs who sacrifices her father for all the families in our country. We are forever grateful to have you men and women serving our country. Thank you. And what a little cutie you have.....

birthday...

Today is your birthday. Happy Birthday Daddy. I hope heaven offers you the best cup of coffee ever. My heart is with you........your darlin, martha

Goodbye....

5 years ago I said goodbye to my daddy. I didn't know how to do that or what it even meant. Some days I still don't. Some days I think he is going to walk back into my family home...drink a coke...eat a snickers and sit in his chair. Then reality hits that I haven't seen his face or heard his voice in five whole years. Most days I am fine. Most days I accept that Alzheimer's disease stole him from us. Most days I am relieved that he is not in pain anymore. Most days I am at peace that he is not lost...that he is at peace now. Most days I remind my children who he was...and how wonderful he was. Most days I focus on all the laughter he brought to all of us. Most days I remember how he just loved living. Today....today I am heartbroken. Today...today I am sad. Today...today I just remember how much I miss him.

Sweet Barton Family...I was thrilled to do this shoot for you! I loved every minute. Your kids are so great and I know you both are so proud! Thank you for coming and spending an afternoon with me! Blessings to you Kim and your family for your sacrifices while your husband is serving our country. Thank you Randy for all you do for our country. You are in our prayers.

Rockin Janes Family..

I can't believe we have known each other almost our entire lives. I can't believe we have both been married almost 15 years! I can't believe your kids are so old! I can't believe how old we both are...well...you're younger (i know, I know). I am so happy I got to do this shoot for you. I love you and your entire family. always.

COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW????

Could you possibly know how much I love that smile? Could you possibly know how much I love that you love pink? Could you possibly know that you light up my day? Could you possibly know that I thank God everyday that He gave you to me? Could you possibly know I will love you for the rest of my life?

we remember...

This day we remember. We remember for all those families who have lost a loved one to Alzheimer's disease. We remember for our dad. We remember for our mom...his wife. We remember for our children. We will miss you forever but we will never forget. We walk to end Alzheimer's disease. Daddy...I miss your laugh. I miss your sense of humor that made us laugh. I miss your zeal for life. I miss your excitement for the lottery. I miss your love for coffee and breakfast. I miss seeing you hold mom's hand or the way your hand always went to her back as you walked into a room. I miss the way you looked at her. I miss the way you always danced with me in the kitchen. I miss how you called me darlin...I miss your voice. I miss seeing you with my kids. I miss that you never met Dudley. I miss how you could make any situation ok. I miss the goodness that you bestowed on everyone you met. I miss your pranks. I miss the way your wedding ring and your dads ring clanged together and made that noise. I miss seeing you run everywhere. I miss your love for snickers. I miss the way you would do anything for jeremy and I. I miss the way you loved me. I miss you.

I love you and will keep you in my heart forever.
