Jared & Emily

With all the rain that we have been blessed with lately, it has really put me behind on photography. It is going to be a close race between me getting all of the pictures done that need finished and having the baby.

Jared and Emily are getting married in August and it is easy to tell that they are in love. They have only really been able to see each other on the weekends which made getting them to smile very easy. They were all smiles!!!

Travis William

Travis is the new arrival in the Patterson family. As I said in a few posts back, I am taking newborn pictures as baby shower gifts. There is an announcement that goes with this post that I will add either tonight or tomorrow.

Alora

Alora being distracted from the camera, trying to catch some bubbles.
Her mom finally pinned her down and tickled her to get her to smile!
This is one of my favorite because it shows the gold flecks in her eyes!

Alora is my niece and because of that I have been putting her pictures on the back burner. I am sure that her mom has been going crazy waiting for these pictures that we took the beginning of May! Now that things have slowed down a little, I have had a little time to get the family stuff done. Enjoy!

Lydia

I have started giving portrait sittings as baby shower gifts. It is a win win for me. I get to see the cute little new babies and I get to practice taking better shots of newborns.

This is a picture of baby Lydia, my cousin's baby. She is just so stinking cute. I am not done editing all of the pictures (I may be having a little too much fun with the editing), but here is one of my favorite that I have edited so far. Let me know what you think! Sorry there are not more Rachel, but maybe by tomorrow.
