One of the best parts about this hobby of mine, is meeting new people.  But hands down, nothing tops getting together with a good old friend to spend time together and capture their loved ones for them.  These are Lori's kids.  She was a high school bestie of mine.  Funny thing was after not seeing each other in 10 years, you would have thought not a single day had passed.  Would you just look at these cuties that Lori gets to call her own...

yoga instructor: Kimberly

Planning to build a website of her own, Kimberly needed fresh headshots as well as some action shots showcasing what she does best.  After spending time with her, I have a whole new appreciation for those poses and the strength they require.  Best of luck Kimberly!

I stole these 3 handsome fellas away from their large family photo shoot on Saturday just to try to catch them being, well... BOYS.

These were my summer fun giveaway winners.  4 H Club members.  Dedicated boys.  All 3 of them.  We got together just hours after their mom, Heather won.  Sonora High School Farm is their home base.  I enjoyed this hour long glimpse into their responsibilities, routine, and incredible care of their animals.  I posted way more pictures than usual because this was one of my favorite shoots to date.  Thank you Kilcillen Family for allowing me to tag along.
