About Kelly Stocksen Photography :

I’m basically just a person who loves to capture memories. And every time I pick up my camera to capture something, I find myself in awe. Not at all in awe of my own ability, but in awe of the beautiful world God created. In awe of the innocence of each tiny newborn, and the uniqueness of each child and of each family. And I’m thankful that He has given me the opportunity to capture that beauty, if only for a second, in a photograph. And I’d love to have the chance to share that with you.

a little kitty and her baby pumpkin

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Ok, I don’t think much explanation is needed for how cute I think these 2 little guys are in their costumes.

The cutest alley cat in a style that Miss “M” pulls off fabulously….. :)

And her little cousin baby M, who not only tolerated being squished in this pumpkin, he rocked the look.

Well, that is, until Miss M tried to kiss him. And I think at that point he was letting us know he had had enough….. :)

Happy Halloween!

Location: Downtown Tulsa

If you need a fun Fall activity for your kids in their costumes tomorrow, our church(4th and Detroit, downtown Tulsa) is having their annual Fall Festival from 4:00-6:30 tomorrow  and we’d love to have you. Pony rids, inflatables, classic carnival games, and some serious family fun. My kids are wayyyyy excited about it.

little bo peep has lost her sheep

Monday, October 26th, 2009

When our littlest daughter INSISTED on being a little lamb for Halloween, I instantly thought it would be perfect for our older daughter to be Little Bo Peep. After I showed her that the costume came with a cane that she could use to chase sheep (aka her sister), she was sold on the idea.

I took them out for a few quick shots in a field and they had a blast.

I tried to add a little commentary from the evening…..

Little Bo Peep

And her CRAZY sheep

Hmmm, where I could find that sheep?

I think I’m going to hide…..

Oh no, I got lost…. (she said this is what a sad, lost sheep would do. LOL)

Yeah, Bo Peep to the rescue. I think I’ll ‘Baaaa’ at her……….

I think I’ll feed my sheep some grass………………….

I think I’ll eat the grass the rest of the time, is that ok?

Bo Peep and her grass eating sheep….

A cute Bo Peep……

And her cute, crazy sheep…..

Leave them alone and they’ll come home…..

Location : Little Bo Peep’s pasture (aka some random field in Owasso)

(Shots of my little man coming later. I have to take him to a different location for his costume…..)

rain rain go away

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

It’s no secret that the rain has been out of control lately. And unfortunately, it has put a serious wrench in my scheduling. But for this session, we didn’t let the constant drizzle stop us. Which is a good thing, because it certainly didn’t stop this senior girl from being awesome.

multiple personalities

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Today was picture day at her preschool. And apparently she cried and cried because she didn’t want to have her picture made. So she didn’t. Literally refused to even sit there. They even sent a note home saying they would refund my money.

Had they not said anything, I never would have known she was upset, because when she got home she hopped out of the car and begged me to take her picture.

Last week after we visited the pumpkin patch, she came home and drew a happy face, a sad face, and a scary face all around her pumpkin. And then she named each face, with names she obviously thought of herself: Alysia, Crouton, and Ganana.

At the time, I wondered why she spent so much time on all the faces (and also was slightly amused by her choice of names).

Now I think she was just looking for someone to identify with. And she really should have named all of them Kate.
