The V Family 2011

I love this family!

The V Family has been in our lives for the last 4 years.  They are amazing and goofy all at the same time.  They are always up for anything suggested...even if they aren't quite sure about it.

Dad (like most dads) doesn't like to do pictures. However, he's a good sport at least every other year.  Just to make momma happy.

She loves him...really, she does!

 They are a pretty awesome family and I'm so glad that I get to call them friends as well as clients.

Heather, thank you for showing me a new location - it rocks!   

Much Love

xoxo

The P Family 2011

Coincidences are a funny thing...I met a lady a month or so ago for coffee..she had an appointment that afternoon with another lady...who just happened to be looking for a photographer.

Yay for networking!

I finally got to meet this entire family.  My first thought when they piled out of the car...holy moly those are tall boys.

6'8" and 6'7" i think is what she told me.  Regardless...they are REALLY tall. :)

What I left thinking...what a great family!  All 4 kids are super sweet, very respectful, and really tolerant of their moms...even when they are fussing over their clothes and smiles. 

(we are moms, it's what we do)

Beautiful kids, beautiful moms, a great family!

Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer.  It was a blessing to spend time with you and be a part of this chapter in your story.

Much love

Brooke

The B Family 2011 {Kellery Family Photography}

I have loved this family from the moment I met them ...almost 5 years ago.

It is incredible to me how beautiful their sweet kids are.

I know that twins have their own "thing"...but seriously, these boys adore each other. 

You can't quite tell, but there is one significant difference between the two.  One just lost his bottom two front teeth the week before we met for their session.  I wish his smiled showed just how toothless he really is :)

Sweet baby girl

She is just absolutely precious.  I told daddy...this look...this is the one that will get her WHATEVER she wants later in life.

He agreed

  

Momma and Daddy - you are both amazing and I am so honored to know you.

Much Love

Brooke

The Frugal Mom's kiddos

If you are into couponing...you just might recognize this name of this momma.

I had the great privilege of meeting The Frugal Mom today.  We spent some time this afternoon playing with her three amazing kids

Because really...that's my job!  I get to play around with kids.  It's pretty great.

Meet Logan.

He is the big brother.  Age 7.  Pretty cool guy.  He's all boy.  They never want to have their pictures taken, but I think he hung in there like a trooper and looks super handsome.

This is Ava.  

I love her name!  Ava is 4 and is just as sweet as they come.  She and I could have hung out all day, played dress up and rocked it out in front of the camera. She is so beautiful.

Hello Blake.

Baby brother Blake is two.  He knows his manners and even though he was sleepy when they arrived he popped his head right up and started talking to me.  So sweet.

Mom...I hope you love their pictures.  Thank you for allowing me to spend some time with you this afternoon.  You are so blessed... three times over.

Much love

Brooke

The C Family 2011

She has been asking for family pictures...for quite a while now.

He is your typical husband/dad...they don't ever enjoy pictures. 

However...in our consultation meeting...I noticed he was already thinking about where the pictures would go in the house.  He asked how big I could print one...my response: "Bigger than you will need" :)

The day of the session finally arrived this past weekend...poor mom was a nervous wreck!  She wanted these to turn out so great.

I think she got her wish!

They have a very handsome son...and they are super proud of him.  I loved watching them interact with him.  He's just ALMOST too cool for mom and dad.  Almost.

While waiting for everyone to change their clothes and prepare to head to our second location, I heard Dad talking to his son.  Boys/Men....let's face it, they never really like taking pictures.  They do it to keep momma happy...and that is how it should be.  What made my heart smile was him telling his son "we need to spoil her a little more often"

Dad...I do believe you might have just banked some serious brownie points after this past weekend :)

Check out these two beautiful women.  Mother and Daughter...so beautiful.

The whole family

  Thank you for allowing me to spend time with you and capture some AMAZING pictures.

  

Much Love to you C Family!

The W Family 2011

The W Family is pretty awesome...but poor dad, he is a little bit outnumbered.

I met this family before the school year started.  I had been late to a end of summer party and when I got back I was told that some parents had run my son up to the band party.  They had a couple of girls in the band as well....hmmm.  Girls...freshman year...oh goodness.

When the parents came back to the party we were still at, the dad told us that our son was the first boy, other than him, to have been in their car.

Oh man!  the pressure!  Please son of mine, please have been on your best behavior.

He was.

Momma W took advantage of a special I was running and booked their family pictures.  I am so glad she did.  I had the honor to spend some time with them a couple of weeks ago. 

What a sweet family. 

The W Family has 4 daughters.  Four BEAUTIFUL daughters.

 

I am honored that they chose me to be their photographer. Thank you for allowing me to spend some time with you and see the love that you share...

 Well....I think that it's love....



Much Love to you W Family

Brooke

Inspired: Dana Suggs

I met Dana on Facebook thru ...well, I don't really know how we were connected.  She was a photograher in Tulsa.  She knew a friend of mine, somehow she knew my sister in law, and she took beautiful pictures.

A few months later, I heard about this fantastic workshop in Tulsa...so I stalked them and found out they were giving away free seats to a workshop.  I knew Dana wanted to go..so without ever having talked to her before, i found her phone number, told her quickly who i was and how to get a free seat...and prayed she would get one before they ended the contest.

She did.

We met.  We laughed. We learned. We became friends.

Fast forward a few months, I was headed back home and told her I would be in town and would love to catch up.  She had a twin newborn session scheduled and offered, so kindly, to let me tag along.

She is amazig like that.

We laughed. We worked hard. We learned. We became even better friends.

We don't talk too often, but we really don't need to.  We are there for each other in our artistic/nonbusiness melt downs... There for each other to vent.  Happy to brag to each other about our accomplishments. Proud of each other at all times.

This year, Dana was given a new project.  She and her family felt led to be foster parents.  They have been blessed with 3 children.  Read this blog post to hear the amazing story about how their sweet family grew so suddently. From Chaos to Grace: God's sense of humor

I am so very proud of her.  She is such a remarkable woman and these 3 little children are so incredibly blessed to have her loving them every day and every moment.

Dana posted a few weeks ago she was going on vacation...uh jealous!!!  They were going to Florida to the beach - oh how I love the beach.  I was so excited for her.  They had some obstacles to overcome with the foster children, but they got the details worked out. 

She posted pictures. She facebooked. I got to live vicariously through her facebook and her status updates.  Then one day I was checking my Facebook, and something was wrong. Something had happened to the baby. 

Prayers were said all around the world.

I finally got through the blog post that she wrote taking us through each moment and each heartbreaking minute. Here is my disclaimer: it is heartbreaking.  However, the end result is good and positive.  Just brace yourself.

 From Chaos to Grace: To appreciate life...

Dana continues to face the struggles and joys of fostering.  I cannot imagine the turmoil she faces every day.  I cannot imagine how good it feels in her heart with each and every positive step forward.

Dana, you are amazing and I just know that wonderful things are in store for you and your family....of 8.

Much Love

Brooke
