About Me

My photo
Ponca City, Oklahoma, United States
They always say you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl. That's me,and now that I am back in the country I couldn't be happier! Thanks to God, we were able to move on to a 40 acre farm. Life on the farm is busy and we are always learning something new. My husband, Brett is the worlds best handyman. He was raised in town but I think that deep down he has always been a country boy. Together we are learning to raise cattle,chickens, and are even venturing into raising goats.We enjoy gardening and we are learning square foot gardening with the help of our mothers. We are striving towards self-sufficient living and hope to be there soon. Along with a passion for the outdoors and animals I also have a passion for photography. I have owned my photography business for about 13 years now. Nothing gives me more pleasure then to photograph a new baby or a couple getting married and beginning a new life together. I hope that you will join us as we learn new things and enjoy life on the farm.

Talk about a busy time in my life! Graduation has come and gone and I was privilaged to watch my two boys start a new chapter of their lives. Levi, has joined the Army and will be shipping off on June 9th. He will be deeply missed and we have enjoyed having him stay with us for the past few months. T.J., has been offered a welding job and will be joining the work field in just a few weeks. After all these years I can not imagine what it will be like to not have T.J. around anymore. I am really going to miss him :(
With that all said all I have left to say is CONGRADULATIONS TO THE GRADUATES OF 2009! I hope all of your dreams come true and it has been a pleasure to be your photographer.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am still alive. I have been really busy with weddings, seniors, and sports so I am playing catch-up right now. I should slow down here in the next week and I post some new photos for you all.

I haven't updated my blog for awhile because my family and I have been on a vacation. We just returned from Oregon where we attended my sister in law, Shannon's wedding. We had a blast while we were there and Oregon has to be the most beautiful state that I have been to.

While we were there I had the privilege of watching Kevin Meyer's at work. He is an amazing photographer from Oregon. I also had some fun myself taking photos at the wedding.

After the wedding we headed for Montana to see my grandmother and brother and his family. We had fun while we were there and even got to play in the snow. After leaving Montana we headed for Yellow Stone where we got to see some bears, buffalo, and elk. Even though we all had fun it is really good to be back home.

I will be posting pictures of our vacation soon. I do have the wedding photos done so if you want to see them you can go to www.rl-photography.com You will need to contact Tammy to get the password.

B.J. and Rachael have been great to let me use them as a sample for the "Baby's First Year" package. Little one turned 1 month already and we have had great fun doing the photo shoots. I really enjoyed being able to be there right after he was born. Thanks B.J. and Rachael for being such great sports and allowing me to be part of this special time in your lives.

Wow, talk about fun!! Lisa, Andrew and I had a blast with this photo shoot. We went to Stillwater along with my daughter Niki and really had fun going to the different places in Stillwater. Afterwards we went out to eat at a really nice Mexican place. Congrats to Andrew and Lisa on your engagement, can't wait to do the wedding photos.






Talk about someone growing up fast. Jessie has grown into such a beautiful young lady. We couldn't be prouder of the person that she has become.
