This little guy was awake for almost the whole session. He was a tropper! Isn't he sweet!

Keeping Up!

2009-11-16T23:29:00.003-06:00

So I haven't been very good about keeping the blog updated, however I've updated my albums on facebook. So here is the link to the album that I am continually updating.

And here are a couple recent family pics!

Little Avery

Hannah & Sam

2009-07-17T22:15:00.005-06:00

Hannah is so adorable here with her proud toothless grin!

Of course Sam is always adorable too, even more so, now that he is toddling around!

Kole

2009-06-23T07:47:00.003-06:00

Here is little Kole! I've been taking his photos since he was a baby and he was born with that same amount of hair. I am still loving the photo we did last year in the wheat field of him. It can still be viewed on my site www.kelliegoodrich.com in the galleries (although I still haven't filled up my galleries).

Jaxson

2009-06-08T08:24:00.005-06:00

Okay! I've neglected this blog for awhile. So I'm making a Mid Years Resolution (I just coined that phrase; feel free to use it.LOL At least I've never heard it before..LOL) I'm just going to go back to March/April sessions and start posting from them each day. Eventually I'll be blogged up to recent sessions. Getting sessions up and orders in on time has been the priority with the business, but life is definately more time consuming with two kids! Although I wouldn't have it any other way!

Sooo...Here is the adorable Jaxson...I have been taking his photos since he was a newborn...they sure do grow fast! I can't wait to take pictures of his new baby brother/sister this fall!

Little Mason

2008-10-08T16:41:00.003-06:00

We just loved these photos.... I've had the pleasure of photographing Mason since he was born and his big sister Jacey since she was barely 2....

More Recents...

2008-10-06T09:40:00.002-06:00

Dylan

2008-10-05T17:37:00.001-06:00

Little Dylan is turning 2! I have been doing his photos since he was born...I can't believe how fast they grow!!

I know I know

2008-10-03T10:43:00.002-06:00

Ok...so it has been since July since i have posted on here....been busy everywhere else....but just a quick link to Olivia's tea party for her 5th birthday.

http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2007990&l=0d1da&id=1248542435

I will be posting some photos from my sessions from the past couple of months soon...

My American Beauty Baby

2008-07-03T16:48:00.002-06:00

These turned out exactly how I imagined them...Ella was a trooper too....She's getting so chunky! I just love it!

My little American Beauty

2008-07-02T18:44:00.003-06:00

I thought I'd take advantage of the wind this evening...

Samuel "Sambo" Jeffery Wilmath

2008-07-01T16:44:00.004-06:00

Meet the newest member of our large family! He is a week old today. He is so tiny and was so fun taking pictures! I can't believe he was awake for almost the whole session and not fussy. We also go his Big Sister Hannah in some...without too much persuasion!

And I just love the shot of his Great-grandma's hands holding him!

More sessions

2008-06-30T14:42:00.003-06:00

Here are a few more sessions... A couple of baby planners...it's amazing these girls are already 9 months! and one of little Kole in our wheat field...( it's killing me that our wheat is already gone) I just love the pictures in the wheat! Look at the hair this little guy. He was born with that much hair practically.

Cheerios and John Deere

2008-06-25T22:18:00.002-06:00

I was playing around a while ago when Olivia was eating breakfast...she loves Cheerios, I guess that is what inspired this collage.

Last week Olivia got to ride the combine with her Poppa (daddy) and I loved this shot I got..you can see her perfectly...in one of her nice dresses (it wasn't a planned ride)

Stephanie and Emma

2008-06-25T10:34:00.003-06:00

Emma (my niece) turned 3 this month and Stephanie (step-sister) turned 16 last month...and just got her drivers license. We were brave enough to let her drive our yukon last weekend to Dexter...(we were in there too, of course). She did a pretty good job.

Some Recent Sessions

2008-06-24T21:52:00.002-06:00

3.5 Month Now

2008-06-22T18:43:00.003-06:00

Here are a couple of Ella's 3 month photos and a one I took of Olivia and Ella yesterday. It definately stays busy around here...but I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm lucky Ella is a good baby and her big sister likes to help...sometimes....but I take what I can get from her. She loves her baby sister!

I'll be posting a few from sessions in the next few days when I get a chance.

Time has flown!!!

2008-05-05T11:01:00.004-06:00

I can't believe she is already 2 months old!! She is such a good baby! She now smiles alot!! I can't believe she is already changing her looks...plumping up! Although I took these photos this morning and she was tired. I just thought I snap a few in the house until I get her back out to the studio. Olivia is at preschool, so she wasn't in them this time. I just LOVE being a mommy!! I am truely BLESSED!!!!

Although I haven't started back up with sessions yet, we stay busy around here. Olivia made the 2008 Xtreme All Star Cheerleading team and she is pretty excited about cheering and dancing. I can't wait to take pictures at competitions when they are all dressed up.

3 Weeks Already

2008-03-25T11:43:00.004-06:00

Just a couple I've edited.

Ella Claire

2008-03-05T13:25:00.005-06:00

Another perfect Princess!! Ella arrived on March 3rd @ 4:24pm! She weighed 7lbs and 9oz. and was only 18 inches long!! She is absolutely PERFECT!! Here are a few images and I can't wait to do her studio photos...so expect many many more photos of Ella and her proud big sister Olivia!!!!!! And hopefully we can bribe her two big brothers for some photos with her too :-)!!

My Last two babies until May...

2008-02-19T10:36:00.004-06:00

This is Wrenn and Karis. My two other September baby planners... They are just TOOO cute!!!

Wrapping up some Baby Plans before our little Ella gets here!!

2008-02-15T13:23:00.003-06:00

Meet Emmie...she is such a doll and I can't believe she is already almost 6 months....

More Olivia

2007-12-31T05:33:00.000-06:00

Just more of my Princess!!

FINALLY got some Christmas photos of Olivia

2007-12-16T10:39:00.000-06:00

I didn't even get my Christmas cards out this year...too busy! But I did finally get some photos of Olivia. Just wanted to show her off!! She loves loves loves getting her photo made...makes me wonder how Ella will be...

Holiday Deadline!!

2007-11-06T13:46:00.000-06:00

All orders MUST be received by Nov 30th. No exceptions. Orders will not be accepted after Nov 30th until Jan 1st. Those with sessions within two weeks of Nov 30th will have your sites up in plenty of time to order by this date.

Also I will be launching my NEW website soon!! We've been trying to work out the bugs since JUNE...I think everything has finally been resolved to get it up and going, however due to the busy time of year...I will still need to add images and information. All the necessities will be there, though.

That said, you will view proofs differently once the site is live. You will view them as a gallery on my site. A password will be provided and sessions will only be up for TWO WEEKS.

Kellie Jo

2007-10-16T16:31:00.000-06:00

Wanted to share a couple of Kellie Jo. I just love the downtown photos...they work for any occasion.

Trik-a-thon

2007-10-11T08:14:00.001-06:00

Olivia's preschool had a trik-a-thon to raise money for St. Judes Children's Research Hospital last week and I thought I'd share a few photos...The kids really enjoyed riding around in the parking lot

Springfield Trip

2007-10-05T16:57:00.000-06:00

We just got back from Sprinfield last night..where I went to do a session. Of course it was a good excuse..since I LOVE springfield and I never need an excuse to go shopping. I also got to take some photos of Olivia in my sorority letters (outfit by Keri, of course) in front of my old sorority house. And she's always willing to pose...

I also took her around campus to get some photos. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since I graduated...I feel old...especially walking around campus with my 4 year old.

We also went to the Landing in Branson...It's really built up just since last year..

Olivia doing some "window" shopping...

Emma just lost her balloon the clown had made her.

She got over it quick, though...

My Baby Girl turned Four

2007-09-25T10:43:00.000-06:00

I can't believe she's already 4! She had a great party although she was scared of the clown at first as were some of the others but within minutes they all loved her.

New Jewelry Photos

2007-09-10T06:36:00.000-06:00

I will be attempting to add jewelry photos and pricing to my website this week...It will be under Galleries/Products beginning on the second page. Christmas Deadline for jewelry is Nov 30th.

Alissa

2007-09-04T14:24:00.000-06:00

I couldn't resist posting a couple of Alissa from today. I can't beleive how big she has gotten. She wasn't much of a smiler, but I tend to be a fan of non smiling faces anyway.

Just Olivia

2007-09-02T05:38:00.000-06:00

Just wanted to share a recent one of Olivia...I can't believe she'll be 4 this month!!!

Olivia and Hannah getting warmed up for the parade.

Macie enjoying her ride with Hannah.

Boys Boys Boys!

2007-07-03T14:07:00.000-06:00

It seems that the majority of the sessions lately
have been boys...So I thought I'd share a few. They've mostly been loving the bubbles...some not so much...:-).

It's been fun seeing their reaction to them anyway.

Hope you have a safe and enjoyable Forth!!

We've got a full day planned ourselves..even having a mini parade...!!

The Zoo

2007-06-27T05:47:00.000-06:00

Well last week Olivia and Emma took their first trip to the zoo. It was soooo hot! But it was fun. Emma loved playing in the water more than anything. Olivia was a bit hesitant.

One of the giraffes seemed pretty interested in Olivia's build-a-bear giraffe...he may have taken it if he could have gotten close enough. It was a fun trip but I think next time we'll go in the fall. The animals may be more lively then also.

Oh...and the outfit, headband, and hairbows were made by Keri Burkett

785-8392.

Chuck and Deanna

2007-06-19T06:32:00.000-06:00

I've known chuck since he was a little boy...(man I feel old). His sister and I are close friends..so I agreed to do their wedding and am so glad I did! They were great! They were troopers...I took them downtown in the heat...and they were up for anything! I just love the downtown photos...I've taken Olivia down there for a while now and always find something new.

I have tons of photos of them...but thought I'd share a couple.

At the Bridge

2007-06-12T08:02:00.000-06:00

I've been so proud of myself lately..I've been getting tons of pictures of Olivia....Now to get Brian and Austin...It's like pulling teeth to get their pictures...but I'm going to get them.

I think I've finally got a schedule so that I do not have too many sessions in one day. That way you get a relaxed session with no rush...and I have time for my family. :-

Now that being said...haha....I am going to go ahead and run a special in July and August promoting Keri's Originals.

So, If you schedule as session for July or August and wear one of Keri's outfits for the session you will receive 10% off all print orders. Please make sure to call in advance, sessions fill up quickly and are VERY limited. July is almost completely booked

These photos show another of Keri's outfits. This is a pageant outfit I had made for Olivia. The bridge is down from the studio a bit and there are always one of our awesome fields or pond for photos.

Keri's email address is allamericankids@sbcglobal.net and her phone number is 785-8392.

The Goodrichs

2007-06-09T07:54:00.000-06:00

Well, most of them started out as Goodrichs. These are my wonderful in-laws...and this was Mother's day, although, this is usually the crew at any dinner, special occasion or not. This is everyone except one of the husbands and our boys...(who were with their mother).

Bruce (my husband) is the baby of 6 and the only boy. I couldn't ask for better in-laws! They are all just AWESOME!

You'll have to excuse the photo since it was taken with the timer sitting on top of a car and there is a big sunspot right in the middle...but you can see everyone.

Wall Dislpay Ideas

2007-06-08T06:37:00.000-06:00

Here's a helpful set of templates. There are many sizes and arrangements to view. I can also plug in your photos. Check out Gallery 7 on my website. There are 2 pages to search through.

He was a DOLL!

2007-06-04T06:24:00.000-06:00

This is 2-year-old Ethan. He wasn't all that happy to get his photo in the studio..but once we took him outside.... He loved the corn...his mom had to chase him down a couple of times. Luckily our corn was being watered and we took advantage of that. It was so hot, but Ethan had a blast.

The wagon picture had such an old time feel to it...i had to play a bit with it..

Free Second Photo

2007-06-02T05:46:00.000-06:00

For the entire month of June, when you purchase a Gina Alexander photo bag, receive your second photo free. There are many styles to choose from. Leather trim can be ordered in Black, Tan, Cognac, and Fuschia.

Finally got Easter Photos...

2007-05-27T07:45:00.000-06:00

Of Olivia.. This is one of my favorite outfits of Olivia's. Her Easter outfit. (another one of my obsessions; clothes for Olivia) Mostly made possible by Olivia's personal fashion designer...LOL. Keri Burkett. 99.99% of the custom clothes Olivia wears are made by Keri. So here is a plug for her. She is AWESOME! Her designs are incredible and you can custom order any design, any size. She is great to work with and super nice!! Keri's number is 573-785-8392 and her email address is allamericankids@sbcglobal.net . She'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

I hope she never outgrows...

2007-05-25T13:19:00.000-06:00

Posing for me...She still loves to

and now she comes up with her

own ideas.

Photo Gifts

2007-05-23T17:51:00.000-06:00

Make a great gift for any occasion. I have many styles of purses to choose from. Gina Alexander Photo purses are always on the cutting edge. I think I'm addicted to them. REMEMBER: THEY TAKE 6-8 WEEKS to come in. Please order in time for that special occasion.

I also LOVE my new ring of Olivia. I believe you can put a photo on just about anything...Isn't that wonderful!! I have plenty of jewelry to choose from also. Money clips for Father's day are a big hit this year. Please email me if you are interested. I'll get everything listed on my site eventually.

As you can see Olivia had been painting then helping me plant flowers....She's such a good helper...

Time goes on.

2007-05-03T17:02:00.000-06:00

I know it has been more difficult than usual getting a hold of me lately.

Many of you already know that on April 15Th, my grandmother passed away. She was 89 years old and still sharp as a tack. She was a very wise and strong woman who lived through many eras and saw many things many of us have just heard about. I remember her telling me about going to the theatre to see the "Wizard of Oz" when it came out in the 30's and when it went from black and white to color you could hear the whole theatre gasp.

She was still the one I went to for advice and she had plenty of it and was usually always right. She was more than a grandmother to me, she was one of my BEST FRIENDS. I am SO blessed to have had her in my life. She was a very classy, old fashioned lady who believed God is the only One who can carry us through, when we can't carry ourselves.

Grandma loved to go go go ....I definitely get this from her. She always said, "If you say "Let's", "I'll say "Go". I have received so much wisdom and love from her over the years and could NEVER thank her enough. I could go on and on.

I know this is such a cliche, but she WILL live forever with me and my sister.

It has been difficult "getting on with life" and I appreciate all of you that have been patient and have sent your condolences. I'm slowing but surely getting caught up.

In the first photo I believe grandma was about 15 years old and the others were taken last September by Joe Craig. He did an AWESOME job of capturing us. I just LOVED the photos and am so grateful I had them taken. My grandma is such a beautiful woman inside and out and will be missed by so many!

I didn't know they were THIS famous!!

2007-04-02T17:10:00.000-06:00

I just got back from Vegas (I really did) and look who was all over the place down there...Olivia and Emma! They made it to Vegas....LOLOLOL! It was fun...I've never been before and it was a quick last minute trip. Some of the hotels are just AMAZING! Saw Hoover Dam too. Lake Mead was a beautiful shade of blue...almost looked like the ocean. Always glad to be home though. Lots of editing and posting to do....stay tuned...

A little cup of tea

2007-03-26T06:54:00.000-06:00

Macie wasn't all that happy to be in the cup, but we managed to get a few images of her cute little chubby legs sticking out.

Won't she just love this when she's all grown up..HAHA!!

Look who we saw at the park...

2007-03-21T06:27:00.000-06:00

Ok..maybe we brought the Easter bunny to the park with us..Andrea says he is a little bit creepy...but Olivia likes him...Just having some fun at this mini session I did with Olivia yesterday at the park. I just love showing off my little princess!!! Can you tell...?

More Pictures....

Time to break out the Egg

2007-03-20T09:12:00.000-06:00

Ok..this is the third year with the egg and it is still a hit especially at Easter! Everyone loves the little hatchlings in the egg!

Here is little Grant on his 2nd session of the Baby Plan. He is toooo cute! He did so great in the egg

Easter Sessions are now fully booked! I do not have any Saturday appointments until the end of May. It's been a busy busy year...

The Whole Reason I'm obsessed with Photography

2007-03-19T08:39:00.000-06:00

Olivia...here she is at her grandma's yesterday..feeling back up to par..She ran a low fever all weekend, but seems to be top notch now. She loves loves loves having her picture made!!

Mother's day is just around the corner!

2007-03-17T08:47:00.000-06:00

Just in time for Mother's Day. New Photo Wallets. Must be ordered by March 26th. Send me an email to get yours ordered today!!

Ethan and Maddy

2007-03-15T11:54:00.000-06:00

I can't believe how Ethan has grown! and big sissy Maddy has always be a natural in front of the camera. Mom brought treats this time to bribe Ethan..he's doing much better in front of the camera now. As you can see..

Let's see if I can keep up with this..

2007-03-14T07:42:00.000-06:00

Ok... I started a blog at the beginning of the year and never linked it to my page...so here it goes. I will be posting new info, recent sessions and OF COURSE photos of Olivia, Austin and Brian and (when I can force them into taking some more recent ones. ).

Here's Emma with her new pink cast. She fell off of her daddy's computer chair and fractured her leg. Poor baby!

Olivia (with her unbrushed hair) and her cousin Emma.

Here's Olivia with one of our bunnies for sessions this year. She names them something different everyday. So I'm not sure what this ones name is today.

I have decided not to do ducks and chicks this year solely because they are too much trouble to clean up after...GROSS,

But if any of you have a special request for these they can be arranged on a temporary basis. Just let me know...

More...snow

2007-02-06T07:33:00.000-06:00

This snow was so light and fluffy...couldn't make a snowball.

My snow Angel

2007-02-06T07:30:00.000-06:00

Olivia loved the snow...but it wasn't long and she was ready to come in...

2007 Begins

2007-01-07T15:57:00.000-06:00

Wow another year...I survived another Christmas season in the world of photography. I will be using this blog to display specials and update family events. Please check here to get the latest information. I will be having Valentine specials coming soon.
