Pendergrass Family {Sneak Peek}

I had a session with the Pendergrass Family last weekend.  They are a beautiful family and their two kids are absolutely adorable.  Bless their hearts....they were freezing cold while we were taking these pictures but they still did a great job!  Tiffany, thank you for understanding about it taking a little longer than usual to get these edited.  I hope you like them!

P.S. - This was the last family session I had scheduled and will not be doing anymore families until the Spring.  I am scheduling newborns, babies, and maternity pictures right now.  I will post a sign up for spring/summer family pictures in March.

Parker Family {Sneak Peek}

Last Sunday we braved the wind, rain, and 30 degree weather all in the name of a BIG family picture.  These were two sisters and their families wanting to get together and surprise their mom with a family photo.  Wouldn't you know that after all the trouble to get the two families together, it rained and was freezing cold all day.  Normally I would have cancelled the session but since they had gone to so much trouble I told them that we could try to take a few pictures under a big bridge in my parent's neighborhood.  We improvised and although it wasn't the ideal situation, we were still able to get some good pictures.  I can't really post pictures of 11 people and a dog on the blog so these are some of the more candid shots that I took.  Kim, thanks for asking me to take your pictures and I'm sorry the weather didn't cooperate.  Let's try again in the Spring and hope for no rain!

The Akins Family {Sneak Peek}

I was SO excited when Margi contacted me about taking pictures for them.  We met in downtown Tulsa on Saturday and we could not have had a more perfect setting.  It was one of those sessions where everything was just working...the weather, the setting, the people!  I was so excited to get home and start editing this session and I have to say that I am absolutely in love with their pictures.  My friend Holly, who taught the photography class that I took (check her out at Jenks Community Education), always had some of her favorite pictures from settings blown up all around her house.  Now that I am taking pictures, I totally get that because I find myself wanting to blow up pictures of OTHER people sometimes because I just love the picture so much!  Margi and Adam, hope we found some framers for your new house...if you don't blow some of these up, I think I will have to!  Can't wait until we are neighbors (almost)! :)  Thanks again for letting me take your pictures.

Trip to McAlester

The Miller crew headed down to McAlester last weekend to spend some time with some very special friends of ours....The Jackson's. I was raised in McAlester and lived there for the first 16 years of my life before moving to Tulsa. The Jackson's lived right around the corner from us, went to church with us, our parents were best friends, and I pretty much don't have single childhood memory that doesn't include this family. They are more than friends to us....they are our family. We left our house at 8 am (no small feat with three young kids) and made it to McAlester in time to go to church at Lakewood Christian Church...the church I grew up in and where my dad preached for 16 years. After that we headed back to the Jackson's for lunch and to hang out with friends. My friend Joy and her family were able to come join us as well....SO FUN! Of course I had to snap a few pics of their families! Here are some of my favorites....

Cargal Family {Sneak Peek}

I did my first photo shoot downtown with the Cargal family and it was SO MUCH FUN!  Believe it or not, it was totally raining when we headed downtown but Kristen and I decided we would go ahead and give it a shot. I am glad we did because the rain went away and it ended up being a perfect morning for pictures! Kristen and Larry, thanks for asking me to take your pictures. You guys were so much fun and I hope we got a framer for you! :)
