Braeden Marie, my youngest niece. I met her for the first time on my visit home to CO. She's not only a sweetheart, but loved taking pictures. I adored her from the start, and it didn't take her long to get used to Aunt Shelly.

Grandma is holding her.

My adorable, blue-eyed nephew, Dagen Jay. I captured this picture while he was lying on the couch watching cartoons. To me there is no better photograph then one taken in action. Photo studios don't capture the true essence of the subject. He looks just like Sean...

Kayla, Kyndra, and me being goofy as we were pretty much my entire visit home. We took many other pictures like this, but this one's my favorite. I was surprised all three of us fit into the frame.

:o)

This is me and my sweet Kayla Marie. What better way to introduce a blog than with this photo. It's also my favorite and I adore her. She's not only my niece, but a best friend, and an intelligent, beautiful, amazing girl. I am blessed to have her in my life.
