meet the utley's! their session was packed with lots of energy as i chased their 4 boys around their home. what fun and i still don't know how they do it! :) we did get a few moments alone with mom and dad and here's a little peak from that time...
brian and i haven't been home to see our families since christmas, so we have ventured to the midwest for a few days. while here, i'll be shooting a few sessions and will look forward to sharing those, along with sessions from the past few weeks. while we're away, i'll have sporadic email access but will have access to my phone. i'll be back in the office on friday morning. for now, here's a portrait of my grandmother and grandfather. they have been married for 60+ years! i was able to visit with them on saturday and it was a sweet time as i haven't seen them since last thanksgiving. it's so nice to be back around family!
okay, so i was tagged and now i am going to tell you 8 little things that you may or may not know about me! :)
smalltown america
i grew up in a smalltown in oklahoma that is on the border of oklahoma and arkansas. creatively, they named the town "arkoma."
love at first sight?
brian and i first met when i was a sophomore in high school! it may not have been love at first sight then, but was when we ran back into each other 3 years later :)
family
i have 2 parents, 1 sister, and 2 brothers. my 2 parents are kind of goofy and named us all with the same initials...
andrea nicole
adam nicholas
adrian noel
aaron neil
graduation
when i graduated high school, 14 of us including myself, had been together since kindergarten. talk about some memories!
when i grow up...
i was so uncertain of what i wanted to do once i got to college, i think i changed my major 3-4 times just in my freshman year. one of those being before classes even started! my poor roommate, lauren, thought i was crazy!
nic
i am an aunt to nicholas adam and just found that my sister and brother-in-law will be starting the international adoption process :)
ER please
i'm getting desperate for little known facts, so here it goes. i was born clinically dead and had to be rushed to the ER to be recessitated. luckily, it worked!
workaholic
i started baby-sitting at the age of 11 and had my first full-time job at the age of 14. i haven't stopped since!
okay, now you've been tagged! leave your 8 in the comments below! :)
more updates to come soon!
and we hit it up with the mclellan's on friday night! we had quite the time and lots to share. but to see the events from the whole night, you need to head over to the mclellan's blog by clicking here!
oh, don't hate us because we're beautiful 
about a month ago, i had great fun shooting the spring 2008 catalog for a new children's clothier named coco bonbons. if you follow my blog, you'll remember that i covered their day spent at the martha o'bryan center. as they outfitted 30 children with new raincoats and matching attire. coco bonbons is perfect for infants up to a children's size 6. you can find a store near you by visiting their site here.
i just got the catalog in and wanted to share some of the excitement! 
thanks to everyone at coco bonbons for such a successful shoot. also thanks to joe at powell creative for amazing design work and sameera at loud & clear communications for keeping us all put together and on task!
a couple of weeks ago, i was out of town with the family i nanny for. they had a little family reunion/celebration at a beach around outer banks, north carolina. it was beautiful and so fun to shoot at the beach! here are a few of the kiddos...
rucker developed a little crush on me during our week there, and i'd be lying if i said the feeling wasn't mutual! ;) 
father and daughter 
tara wasn't much of a fan of the ocean, but LOVED the sand and found it quite tasty ;)
where we stayed 
the beach!
so as i'm catching up and undergoing several exciting changes at adrian hitt photography, i thought you might enjoy to see more of this gorgeous one!
