Maternity Shoot

Last Thursday I was able to get some pics of my daughter in her last month of pregnancy. She had weekly pics in her first pregnancy, but this one she hasn't gotten anywhere near that many photos so I'm glad she has these. I'm happy with them considering how out of practice I am in shooting portraits.

A Trip to the County

This last Saturday, my family and I went to the country to do some target shooting. Here are some of my favs of that day. Spending time together with our family is one of the highlights in our life!

McCormick's Creek State Park, Spencer, Indiana

McCormick's Creek State Park in Spencer, Indiana, was our mini adventure this week. We got sprinkled out and didn't get to see and do anywhere near as much as I'd hope, but the weather looks good for next week to try again. We never can get enough of this gorgeous park...especially during fall! I believe the park is almost at peak and full of glorious color right now so if you live in Indiana it would be worth the trip.

Here are a few pics from out day.
Enjoy,

Huzzah River in Southern Missouri

A few weeks ago, my family, and some friends, went down to southern Missouri to enjoy the Huzzah River. It is located just south of Cuba, Missouri. About two miles down the road from the Huzzah Valley Resort, we found a nice place off the mail road. The river is spring fed, clear, clean & cool! The temps that day hit about a hundred degrees so the water was especially nice for us to cool off. I took our portable grill some burgers/dogs for our lunch to cut down on trip expenses. We had a blast just floating and enjoying our time together! Our hope is to go back and camp in this area and in some of the others springs found about an hour further south in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways park. The waters are so clear and clean! I can't say that enough...a must to see if you live anywhere in Missouri. Our dachshunds didn't even smell from being in the river...it was that clean!

Here are a few pics to show you the beauty of this area.

Enjoy!

Some of my fav Christmas Pics

We went to Indiana to visit my daughter and her family for Christmas last month as there is nothing for us here in Missouri anymore. Here are a few of my fav pics. =)

Okay, so it has been a while...

...since I've posted, but our life has been a bit turned upside down lately. Here are some pics taken the week of Thanksgiving and on the day of. Thanksgiving day here in Missouri was gorgeous and sixty degrees!! The first two are of my family and the last two are some photos of a friend's family shoot done on a not so warm day! The wind was blowing and it was around 38 degrees with wind chill, but it was a last minute kinda shoot so you go with what you have in the weather department.

My Family...

Only one missing is my son-in-law as he was out of town on this day. These were taken at McCormick's Creek State Park in Spencer, Indiana, last week.
