So it'd been four years since the last shoot I did with my sister and we decided it was HIGH time to do another one :) It was a quickie, but we got some beautiful shots!

My Nephews (2/06)

Leslie and I conspired to take some pictures of my nephews to have one of them drawn (by Kathy Q) as a present for our Mom. The drawing came out great and Mom loved it!

The Heritage Album (posted 12/05)

My mother scrapbooked a beautiful heritage album that spans from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s. These shots don't do her work justice, but it's still neat anyhow!

Ashley meets my folks (10/01)

This was fall of 2001, before Allen and I were married. Dad was in town for the weekend and so he and Mom came by to see her. They (of course) LOVED her. How couldn't you?


Brent & Mette's Wedding (7/01)

When Allen called in May to find out if I knew a good videographer for his sister's wedding - little did I know I'd be his date to the event! Here's a shot of me at the event!
