Sophia 3 year session

I love this StoryBoard

sweet one year session

This sweet little guy is turning one!

Greatest gift of all!

The greatest gift of all... The gift of life, The gift of people, The gift of Christ.

Do you know a family in need? Family experiencing Tagedy , experiencing hard times, someone who can’t afford custom photography, but will cherish it this holiday season? Do you know someone who deserves a year round reminder of their families’ spirit, love and beauty? If so please email me at Rita@HaloPortraits.com I will be giving away to a family in need a free session and $300 in prints.

What a precious gift this little girl is. This is her 3 month pictures though we didnt get to do them until 4 months because she was in the hospital. She couldnt wait to come into the world Miss Lilly came 5 weeks early. She is so beautiful and little 10 lbs at 4 months. We always keep her in our prayers.

Bella Boo

Okay, I’ll admit it.... My kid’s birthdays are harder on me then my own. I can’t get over how fast they are all growing. I was feeling down that my girl is nine. I can’t just dress her up and take her out for pictures like I did just a short time ago. Sure I can still do it but it’s just not in the same way. So we got a puppy, it’s all she ever wanted and I get to play.
Well this is the first puppy our daughter isnt allergic too! She is so cute! 10 weeks old today...

Baby in bloom

Cutie pies!

I can not believe how big this little guy is, I just did his newborn picures 5 months ago. He has a the cutest laugh ever.

Busy,Busy, Busy !

Whew! what a busy time of year! I have met some wonderful families, cute kiddos, adorable newborns and Miss Sunshine. Im so busy with Christmas cards,sessions and proofing. Tomorrow is my daughters birthday and we host Thanksgiving. Ahhh! I have to get off the computer and start cleaning. it was so hard to decide what to post ... So here are a few favorites. One sweet two week old and a little squirt. if I catch this you get it free and I promise he didnt drink any.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone has a wonderful day with family and friends!





Hello World

"Lil Miss Sunshine"

I nickname this senior Lil Miss Sunshine! I can tell this girl probably lights up any room when she comes in. The day we did our session was so gloomy but it just didnt matter. It was so nice meeting you miss L or shall I say Miss Sunshine :)!

cutie pies!

just a couple of cutie pies!!

Total Ham

This was so easy, can you say total Ham! I cant believe how many great different looks we got in such a short time. It was fun!

I love fall!

This is the A family, I met mom a few years ago when our little ones played soccer, she is such an amazing person and I’m so glad I was able to capture her family. Their last family portrait was in front of the Eifel Tower so I was a bit nervous to say the least. That’s a lot to compete with.



The H twins we so stinking cute! They just turned one!They have the bluest eyes . I love this age when they are just walking and still fall alot. Mom and dad do a great job keeping up with them.











When I look at Miss K I just think Classy, she is so beautiful and easy to photograph. We did not look like the seniors do now, when we were seniors. I was the size of a 12 year old, not fair...

Be the light, you want to see in the world...
