Laura and Shyann

Laura is my daughter and Shyann is my granddaughter. They are fifteen years apart. Lots of people say they look alike. What do you think?

TBS Graduation

My son, Eric, just graduated from “The Basic School” which is Marine officer training in Quantico, Virginia. Needless to say, he is proud of being a Marine, and I am proud of the young man he is!

A College Graduate

Vicky is from Germany, but chose to study at Park University in Parkville, Missouri. She loves the USA and would like to continue living here working as an Interior Designer.

Prom

As one good friend commented, “Youth is beauty.” Add to that the array of colors shown in the girls’ gowns and the surrounding park, and you definitely have beauty!

Loess Bluffs Nature Sanctuary

No matter where you walk at this Nature Sanctuary, you will encounter beauty, serenity, and lots of nature. The photographers are always hoping to see Eagles as well. Since we arrived at this place late in the season, we didn’t see too many….but were able to see a few.

A Couple

I guess it follows that since I love Fall, I enjoy doing photo shoots in the Fall as well. Look at the beautiful colors and how they pop!

Grandchildren and Lake Michigan

Quinceanera

This was my first Quinceanera. Not only have I never photographed one, I’ve never seen or experienced a Quinceanera in my life. This was a huge opportunity for me for multiple reasons and one that I will never forget.

Hawk

I was lucky enough to spot this hawk in my backyard. It gave me the perfect opportunity to use my new 150-600mm zoom lens. It’s a heavy lens, but I was pretty happy with the result.

The Wild West

My boyfriend, Jim, and I were heading home from our visit to Clovis, New Mexico. Along the way we stopped to take some photos of the scenery we were driving by. This was my favorite one. It reminds me of how our country must have looked before civilization took over.
