It was fun to work again with Miss R.  In about two weeks she starts kindergarten and soon she will be six! Mom and I agree there is just something magical about age 5 – the sweet conversations, really seeing them come into their own as little people. It’s wonderful. We almost cancelled tonight’s session due to rainy conditions earlier today – so glad we didn’t. Enjoy your sneak peek!

This is the third time I’ve worked with this family and they are a real joy. Their boys are just precious.  And like my children these brothers are close in age.  My kids are the best of friends and I know your boys will be too.   Without further adieu here is your sneak peak.

Sigh … look at those baby blues.

Mr. C just turned one last month – isn’t he a cutie pie?!

Summer…it goes fast. Way too fast. But it’s been full of fun moments with my family – pool time, popsicles, sprinklers, sparklers, slip-n-slides, the beach and so many other fun memories. What I love about summer is that it’s full of simple pleasures -  a walk through the park or a popsicle on the front porch can bring so much joy. I love it. Here are a few snaps of my summer:

And what made our summer even more eventful is my oldest started kindergarten – wowie!

I  really hope all of you enjoy the few remaining days of summer with family and friends!

And if you are thinking of booking a fall session now is not too early to contact me. I have a only a few spots still available between now and Christmas.

Take care!

Meet Sweet Baby E … Oh my goodness – her gorgeous dark hair knocked my socks off. She is such a beauty.

And she has an absolutely gorgeous nursery. Mom has a incredible eye for design.

Sweet dreams little one! I enjoyed our time together.

I was soooo excited about this session. When the mom scheduled and went on to tell me she would be dressing her 4 year old in outfits to include boots, Matilda Jane clothing, hats and more items full of color and texture my heart just sang!! AND she was down with the idea of going downtown! Woohoo!

Here was frame #2 that I snapped at our session. Isn’t she a beauty?!

We had a really fun time taking a quick stop by The Cupcake Shoppe!

I had a great time! Hope you enjoy the sneak peak!

I was blown away when I saw little Sister P – she has grown up so much since I last saw her – my goodness! She is most definitely a toddler and no longer a baby – running, smiling and so full of life. Her big brother is still as cute as ever and full of personality.  Hope you enjoy your sneak peek Mom and Dad – it was so great to see you again and I had a great time with your precious children!!

I cannot believe little E is almost one! She has the same beautiful smile that she did when she was just days old (if you don’t believe me just {click here}! We snuck in a mini session to get some adorable shots of her with this awesome tutu and bloomers so they can be used for her birthday invite – they are just too cute, aren’t they??

Mama and her little baby girl – two gorgeous ladies.

Have a great night! And hope everyone enjoys this wonderful snow tomorrow. My kiddos are absolutely dying to get out tomorrow and build a snowman and “snow” doggie.
