I'm such a proud Mom...

Break out the tissues - cause I needed them today. Today was my daughters recital - I was so proud. She did such a great job! Here are some pictures of my sassy gal in her costume. There are no words for how much I love her...

Twins - twice the sweetness....

I thoroughly enjoyed myself at this session. Yes it was a long one - about 3 hours, but so worth it. And the time just flew. Mom, Dad and Grandparents were all there to help make everything run as smoothly as possible. Here are just a couple - can't give away too much. I can't wait to show you the rest of the pictures in your gallery - we have some wonderful shots from this session!!!

He LOVED the water....

I did a lot of running at this session!!! This little sweetie decided he really did not want to sit at all. And during our session decided he really DID love the water - we couldn't get him out! Mom swears that just days before he really didn't even want to put his feet in.

New offering - check it out and let me know what you think!

Three brothers...

I met these three on Saturday - they kept me on my toes! But they were such fun, and I love that I was able to get 'lifestyle' portraits of them. You know - beautiful pictures of them doing everyday things... And the baby - I just wanted to take him home with me! Here are some that I love - saving some of my favorites for the gallery though! We need some surprises for later ;)

Happy Fathers Day Dads!

I hope you all have a great one. I though I would share with everyone the pics and storyboard we made for my hubby for Fathers Day. Luckily - I don't think he reads my blog so he won't see these before we give them to him!!! Here is the poem that I put on the bottom of the storyboard:

Walk with me daddy
Author: unknown

Walk alongside me, daddy
and hold my little hand.
I have so many things to learn
that I don't yet understand.

Teach me things to keep me safe
from dangers every day.
Show me how to do my best
at home, at school, at play.

Every child needs a gentle hand
to guide them as they grow.
So walk alongside me, daddy -
We have a long way to go.

And the winner is...

Carrie Lynch! E-mail me with your two favorite pics from your session and I will get your keychain for you! Congratulations :)

Happy Birthday!

I haven't seen this sweetheart since he was about 4 months old - I can't believe how he has grown! But he is as adorable as ever... I hope you have a wonderful first birthday!

Sweet as can be...

This session was a long time in the planning! Every time Mom would decide on a date, I would already be booked. We have been back and forth trying to plan this session since October! Well Mommy and Daddy - we finally did it! Here is your sneak peek - you will have to wait a while for the rest. I hope this can hold you over!!! Thanks for a fun afternoon :)

Sweet little girl with a loving family...

This is a promised 'sneak peek' of my session from today... The grandmother of this beauty was the winner of a gift certificate that I had donated to my daughters preschool for their silent auction. The whole family came with her to the session! What a beautiful family - you could definitely feel the love between all of them. These are her first birthday pictures. I was worried that we would not get many pictures because she is on the move - as so many one year olds are! Luckily, she is a city girl, and was a bit apprehensive with her bare feet in the grass for the first time! So we were able to get her to stay where we needed her... Thank you Grandma, Mommy and Daddy for the opportunity to take her pictures!

Adorable one year old...

We lucked out with weather for this session. The weatherman called for rain - as usual he was way off... This little cutie hung in there - even without a nap that day! She was so sweet - and so easy to photograph. And if you ask her how old she is - she will tell you! Just take a look... ;)
