Baby Mya

My new niece Mya has finally arrived! Isn't she adorable?! I had so so so much fun taking her pictures. I just couldn't wait to give Becca a little peak. It's just a peak though. There are many more to come :) Enjoy Becca! I'm so glad you got your girl!!

Halloween mini sessions

I am going to be doing Halloween mini sessions on October 8th and 10th. Bring your kids all dressed up and get their pictures taken for $15. This includes up to 5 edited images on a CD with the copyright release. That way you can print off your favorites and have them to display in your home through October. I am working on the set up right now and it is going to be SO cute! Sample picture and more details to come soon. If anyone is interested call me at 569-3554 or email at cassc23@hotmail.com

Change of plans...

I'm sure that many of you have noticed my recent obsession with photography. I work as a nurse every other weekend. And inbetween I have been keeping myself busy taking pictures. I have decided that for some crazy reason photography is much more fun than nursing. I am so grateful for my degree but have decided to let it take a back seat for now and try to do photography full time. But I need some help getting my name out there......(thus this blog post) :) So check out my photography blog at www.pinkpaisley1.blogspot.com (named after my daughter because her cute little face is what inspired me to start taking pictures). I also have a link here on my family blog just to the right. So take a look if you have time. If anyone is interested e-mail me at cassc23@hotmail.com for prices and availability. Here are a couple pictures from my most recent session with Bronwyn Petersen. Her parents are Mike and Whitney Petersen. There are more of her on my photography blog. ENJOY!!!

Paisley's 15 month pictures

I finally finished editing Paisley's 15 month pictures. To show what a procrastinator I am.......She will be 16 months on the 1st! Better late then never is totally my motto!
I am loving the age that Paisley is right now. She is constantly making us laugh and such a joy in our lives. I am so amazed at how much she learns every day. She is the biggest copycat ever. Apparently she has caught on to the fact that you are supposed to wipe after going to the bathroom because the other day she grabbed some toilet paper and tried to wipe me! I just love her to death.
I have to apologize for posting so many pictures. But I am going to be a proud parent and say I think she is just too cute to narrow it down to a few pictures.




Showing me where her nose is...

The 4th

I was so excited to see how Paisley would react to the parade and fireworks this year. Well she loved the parade because of all the "horsies" but HATED the fireworks! She cried for about the first ten minutes of them trying as hard as she could to get me to get her away from them. Then........she fell asleep and slept through the rest! I thought the fireworks were amazing and we had an awesome spot. but Pais was NOT a fan!




After the parade we went over to the Mickelsen's and all of the kids played on the slip n' slide. Paisley wasn't a fan of that either.

Staring at the slip n slide hoping that daddy doesn't try to take her down it again.

paisley Jo

I Just wanted to share this picture of my baby girl. She absolutely LOVES playing outside. It is such a challenge to keep her in the house. And once we take her outside it is an even bigger challenge to get her back inside. She is just so much fun! I love this little girl so much!

Hai & Chan

I took these pictures of Hailey and Chandler quite a while ago. But as I have said many times before I'm a procrastinator so I am just getting around to posting them. I'm only going to put one on this blog but to see the rest click on the Cassie Jo photos link to your right.

Time for a post

There's hasn't been much going on lately and I have been neglecting the blog. So I decided to share these pictures of my favorite little girl from last Sunday. I just thought she looked too dang cute in her church cloths and piggies. So I had to pull the camera out.




Paisley loves to play with her grandpa's guitar......even though she's not supposed to :)

Miss Payton Jayne

I have been working on these pictures of Payton and I just wanted to share a few. I love taking pictures of Payton. She makes it so easy because she is an awesome little poser. Most of the poses she just pulled out on her own. She would say, "How about this one Cassie" then strike a pose. Then she'd say, "Oh, I know another good one. How about this?" Then strike her pose. She cracks me up. I love this little girl!

Easter/Paisley's 1st b-day party

I had so much fun dressing Paisley up in her little Easter dress for church today. In fact.....We might have been a little late for church today because the zipper got stuck and I couldn't zip it up all the way. But i was bound and determined to get it zipped up so that she could wear it to church. Heaven forbid I take her to church in something other than her Easter dress on Easter Sunday!


Confession: The candy was for me and Lorin :)


I got her the cutest little singing bunny. His ears flap up & down while he sings tootie fruitie oh Rudy. She got a kick out of that.

I've been a procrastinator and am just now posting pictures from her birthday party last Saturday.....Story of my life. But here they are. I know that Paisley won't remember her little party. But I figured that someday maybe she will look back at the pictures and know how much her mom and dad must have loved her!
Again....I know that Paisley isn't old enough to understand or appreciate my efforts but I had so much fun decorating for her party.

I had to pull out my rusty poster making skills from my cheerleading days for this poster. We did a cupcake theme. By the way...I do know how to spell little. Wittle is her nickname. It's baby talk for little. We have been calling her that since the day she was born. I didn't expect it to stick like it did.

This is my first attempt at decorating cupcakes. I can for sure say it will be a long long time until I decide to make a mess like that again.
Tasha taught me how to make these tissue paper balls. They were fun and so easy! The birthday cake.


I think the balloons were Paisley's favorite part about the party. She carried this yellow one around all day.

Say it's not so.....

My baby is one today! I used to say that the day she was born was the happiest day of my life. But with her around each day just get's better & better! Happy birthday baby!

These are some of the things I am just LOVING about you Paisley Jo.

• You can't fall asleep without playing with my hair.
• You love to cuttle
• When you find the dog food you try to grab as much as you can and shove it in your mouth as fast as you can before you're busted.
• Your favorite word is "Mia".....That's grandma Connie's dog
• When music comes on in the car you try to sing along
• When music comes on the t.v. you bounce up & down in slow motion. That's your version of dancing.
• You look so cute walking around the house like you own the place.
• Your favorite toys are my phone and my wallet. Uh oh....starting out early!
• When someone says hi, you say hi back in a high pitched voice and a big cheesy grin on your face.
• You love to blow kisses. But sometimes you get confused and blow them from your ear.
• You have everyone who loves you wrapped around your cute little finger!

This is a video of Paisley on her 1st birthday

Please ignore the high pitched baby voice I'm talking in :)
