Scott is active duty Navy so when their rehearsal rolled around they finally got to see each other for the first time in months. Distance certainly does make the heart grow fonder! I've never seen love and the joy to be married so strongly in a couples eyes. :)
I am on the edge of my seat for the beauty I know I will get to photograph on this coming wedding day!
"
Last year was an amazing year. I had the best clients to date and zero complaints what-so-ever! I’m a little sad to see it go knowing all the changes 2016 has for us, but I’m sure when it’s all said and done I will feel exactly the same about 2016 as I do now about 2015.
Every year unfolds changes seen and unseen. That’s kind of the beauty/horror/excitement of it all, isn’t it? I never imagined I would have a baby two years in a row and honestly I’m a little overwhelmed. Haha. My kids love each other so much so I know this little girl will fit in perfectly and we will be one big happy family. J While last year brought a lot of changes for my family, it did not bring a lot of changes to WhIM Photography, LLC. It was so nice to just keep rolling with the way things were, but 2015 was a year of learning and now come the changes.
I just began a very early maternity leave from sessions (because…well…It’s cold outside and Christmas card season is over ;). When I return, my business structure, packages, client interaction, and the number of sessions/weddings I take will all see huge improvements. I am very excited about all the changes because I will be able to provide a whole new level of service for you and I know it will make your whole personalized art experience with me much more enjoyable!
Now, let’s talk resolutions!
My WhIM Photography goals for the year are to 1) learn more, and 2) blog more. It’s my hope to blog AT LEAST once a month (yes, it’s that bad), starting now. Hold me to it! Haha.
My personal goal is to be able to touch my toes! When I was 13 I had a major back surgery and even though that was 13 year ago all that bed time really messed with my athletic skills. I know you’re probably making fun of me right now but this is serious business. :-P
What are your goals for the New Year?
Finally the good stuff. These are some of my favorite captures of 2015. Enjoy! J
Since this session I have met the littlest addition and he is just as adorable as you would expect! Keep an eye our for that session in the next couple week!
Here we go again....
We bought her a second one of these dolls because she was so attached to it...then she found out there were two and now she has to have both. :)
"Potty, potty time!". I'd be lying if I said this was my favorite thing about having a toddler.
On her birthday is was pretty chilly so we took her to a McDonald's play place for the first time. She LOVED it. I love this image because time is standing so still, you would never know that there were about 20 hyper, screaming kids running all around her.
"All the toys!"
Bathroom remodel in the works. ;)
Happy birthday my precious first born!

*Also, scroll down for big WhIM news!
P.S. Big exciting new for my business. I became an offical LLC this week! It's a little bit scary and a whole lotta exciting. :)
]]>Week 3:
The babies and I spent 8 days following Dave around to multiple Army Reserve units across Missouri and Illinois. It was a nice little vacation from the daily grind especially since not having a laptop allowed me to leave my work behind. However, this means that week 3's blog is going to be just a bunch more pictures of my kids, only this time in a hotel room (where we spent basically the whole trip that wasn't in the car). lol
I promise that all my weekly blog posts will not be comprised entirely of my children. As soon as it warms up I'll be getting out more and doing more sessions. For now if you hate it pray the weather warms up...or you know...don't follow my blog, but I don't recommend that last one. ;)
Week 2:
I will be sharing 7 images every week for a year as a way to keep myself accountable to the project. I hope you will join me in watching my work improve over the span of this challenge.
Last time I photographed Owen he was an angel even though they found out the next day that he was pretty sick (poor guy!). So, I knew that getting to capture him while he was healthy would be a breeze. It was and it was the perfect way to kick off 2015!
Congratulations on your marriage you two, I pray you have a loving and blessed life together!
This little red-head baby is perfectly beautiful.
Congrats to the whole family!
Congratulations Michele and Derrick!

Isn't this the sweetest face?
These babies are going to be so handsome, I mean, just look at mom and dad, they don't stand a chance!
Then he decided he wanted a fohawk. :)
My last wedding of 2013:
I present to you my best friends familia:
He says, "no thank you" to sisterly kisses. :)
This guy was part of the package when I married my husband (best friends since they were little kids), and the package just got better! I can't wait for their wedding.
