Hi I'm Denise



Hi Everyone! Thanks for coming to look at my blog. It always seems like I am trying to play catch up here because this is always the last place I come to update. But maybe now with a little help I will be able to keep up with this.

A little about me, I have been doing photography for a very very long time. It has been my secret love for many many years but with some encouragement from my family and FRIENDS, I made it official and created Denise Rudd Photography. With their help and God's blessing it has been wonderful. I am very thankful for the talent that God has given me.

A little about my family. I have a wonderful husband Brad, that I will be married to 20 years in July. My high school sweetheart..that still means the world to me. I also have three wonderful kids. Kaylee is the one that drives me crazy, but also keeps me sane.. What more could you ask for from a graduated 18 year old daughter. Then Nathan is my baby.. Well he will always be my baby even though he will be a junior and is 16. He's the one that keeps me busy running from one sporting even to another. But I wouldn't have it any other way. And last is Jesse. He's the Big Kid God blessed us with 5 years ago. He will be 21 soon and well we couldn't be more proud of him.

Well I guess that is it. Hope you enjoy your visit and come back and visit often!

Slaton 13-14 year old Allstars

So last weekend we went to Odessa to the Regional Tournament for All-Stars..We got to be included in this because Nathan made All-stars.... It was an awesome weekend.. The boys amazed me all weekend playing the different teams. They did alot of growning up in those 3 days and well just being a TEAM and Family..(And not just thinking of themselves) it was Awesome.. It was also amazing to see all the extra people that made the road trip and spent time and money to see these boys play so many didn't have a son/grandson/nephew playing they just wanted to come and support the boys.. That was amazing.. It was just awesome to be a part of that... Thanks to all yall... But anyways all of the boys will be going to High School next month and I can't wait to see what they will accomplish in High School... Congrats Guys!! Yall worked hard.. We are so proud of each and everyone one of yall.
