Dave & Dianes family



It was such a nice day yesterday - I was able to snap a few pictures of Daves family.

Playing with Ava

Odneal!


I made this sign for the Odneal Christmas - thanks pinterest! - and Ava was the perfect model to
show it off - and show off 6 month old Ava too!

Ya Gotta Have Faith!!



This is Steve and Maureens beautiful granddaughter - Faith. Gorgeous Girl - Gorgeous Dress!

Way to go Iowa State!!


IF you missed it Iowa State beat #2 Oklahoma State - 37-31
This game kept me up way past my bedtime. I was texting with Brian and facebooking with Kelsey throughout. AND I could have gone to the game with Brian but I said 'NO' - cuz I'm a wimp about freezing throughout the game. I'll tell you - I wouldn't have been good company tho - I hate close games and overtime - much less double overtime - can't handle it!

My Ava Pic


Cutie Ava - the most photographed baby evah! She visited with GGpa & GGma Odneal today and that's where Bart and I were. I think tho she looks like her mommy - there's some Cole sneaking in there too.

WooHoo!


I won something today! - I registered on Facebook for free Artistry Books - and designs - and I won. Funny that they are actually printed at my work. I hope they don't come up with some loophole that I can't get them - but these are the newest products from us - and they are way cool!
I'm loving all the new shapes we're doing - all laser cut. So now I'm gonna be like Kay - and sign up for sweepstakes everywhere! Fun!

My Sista!



She doesn't read my blog - - whattt? - - so I'm posting her picture! With her 3 boys too. So there.

Who Knew?



My chair made a great deer stand!

Ricks Senior (AARP) Pictures



Happy 50th!!

Happy Birthday brother Bruce!


I'm a day late but Ava has somethin' to say! (Does this not look like Kyle at this age?)

Sweet lil' punkin!

Visitors! ......

we don't get too many. I thought we'd see these two on Sat. but they didn't come til Sunday. They more than made up for it tho.... made us supper (chicken fajitas) and let me take pictures during the 'golden' hour. I'm kinda tired of my model Bart - and to be fair so is he!
Kelsey thought she looked 'terrible'- - Whatevah!
Brian says "this is a prom pose"
so he made his own version.

tons of spiders crawling out of the wood. Kelsey was brave!

Senior Pics - Al







With his twin - Erik

Perfect night for senior pictures/ Thank you clouds! This is Al (Alex). He is the son of one of Barts oldest friends - Paulie. What a nice young man! I kept telling him he reminds me of my nephew Kyle - dark hair - dark eyes - maybe the earrings?! lol Now I have to find a celeb he looks like - Bart said a young *very young* Simon Cowell. hmmmm

What a weekend....

I had 'jobs' all weekend long - but it was Fun!
.
1st up was Jordan - what a sweet kid!

Braelyn! She finally had enough - she's a good baby - cooing up a storm. Gma Pam brought us lunch too.
A quick trip to Karens house for her family pictures. Pretty girls - all 3 of them! and Virgil's pretty cute too.
Here's Becca - She brought Mom & Lori (Jolenes sister) for helpers. Thanks gals! I'm gonna have a hard time editing.
Last - but not least - Brenden. He 'thought' he didn't really wanna do sr pics, but what a cutie! He was a natural.

Lizzy


looking guilty as usual!

Mama-to-be





I met a really sweet couple today - They will be parents in the next couple of weeks. WooHoo!
I felt out of my element - I'm used to concentrating on faces and kept forgetting about that baby belly! Isn't she pretty! (It's a boy btw)

Tyler Football


Bart and I went with Rick and Pam to Tylers homecoming football game on Friday night. They won 13-0! woohoo Top middle and right pics are of T getting knocked on his *ss - - looked like a late hit to all of us. It was expertly captured by RCC photography, (richard clark caley) who got right on the sideline and snapped away with the 'official' photographer. It was fun to watch but Very cold......

Miss Hannah


My friend Deb brought over Hannah for some senior pictures Saturday. I had a young man scheduled for today but had to cancel - darn rain - so I've had an opportunity to work on Hannahs pics today. What a sweet and pretty girl!

Labor Day?



ummm not so much! Very lazy today - laid in bed til 8 reading, then reading some more, then working on computer. Pam did visit instead of her husband! Now I'm fighting with the hummingbirds. I set up my tripod - 'tried' to get the remote to work - and then they just buzzed me- I only got 2 of them - there's 3 for sure. Little stinkers! Woops better say David visited too - tho he doesn't talk as much as Pam hehe! Now Bart's making 'sliders' for supper and I'm computering again. Oh well this week at work will kick my butt - starting at 4 a.m. tomorrow. Happy Labor Day!

Happy Birthday Dad!


You probably already partied at the beach so take it slowww.... today hehe

Cousins!


Maybe it was the weather! - but neither lil' one was smiley today..... they were still cute tho! :)
* you HAVE to click on this to see it bigger *

Finally!....


A haircut and NO hat! He had a lawyers appt. and had to look respectable?!

Kkkatie!



Did Katies Senior pictures in the late afternoon.... love the attitude pic!

Picture Day!


The 'Becker' Family - I love how coordinated everyone was and good looks help too! Here's Carols family......

Hangin' on the Porch




The hummingbirds are having feeder wars at our house - but the lil' devils did not come near when I had the camera out. This is one that was brave - he looks a little scraggly, it was raining.

thus - the dramatic skies.
Bart in his flannel! He's looking thoughtful - cuz I told him too! hehe
and our 'first' flowers on the trumpet vine. First time in the 8 years it's been growing on this porch. These are the only flowers too.

Ashley's Blogging!



YAY! Another blogger - - - It'll be fun keep up with the 'Cole' Odneals! http://ashleyswrld.blogspot.com/

Old 'new' name


After rejecting a whole lot of different names for my photography biz (?) - I've decided to stick with one that everyone (hah!) already knows. So I got these cute cards, in this cute shape and now I need cute people to take pictures of!

A lil' Sweetie!


I had fun photographing 9 month old Afton today! She was very 'sober' but those were some of my favorites. Mom & Grandma came with and brought a lot of darling outfits. I think I captured some smiles too.
