1st Storyboards

I have never created storyboards before, and wanted to try them out. I'm hoping that Keira's mommy enjoys them as much as I did making them :)

Two Years of Sweetness

It was so nice to spend the morning with little Keira and her family on her 2nd birthday yesterday! Since our children are good friends, it was great to also have a playdate at the same time, haha! A house filled with six children, 5 yrs old and under, was a loud, crazy, mess, but they had a wonderful time :) I hope you guys enjoy your "sneak peek" of this fun day. (another shameless plug for Keira Leigh Designs www.kerialeighdesigns.etsy.com for beautiful hair bows!)

Hair Bows Galore

Little Keria is turning two tomorrow, so we will all be heading to the park to take some pictures of this little princess!! I just wanted to post a picture of a sample of the beautiful hair bows that this young lady's mama creates! I'm sure you will be seeing more bows after our session tomorrow (barring any rain!). If anyone is interested in beautiful hair bows, go visit her etsy store:

Soon To Be Kindergarteners!

It's amazing how time flies! I just can't believe my babies are starting kindergarten in less than a month. On one hand, I am so excited about this, but on the other hand, sadden at that same time. I know that every mother goes through this, and I'm not alone in my feelings. My babies are growing up, what an exciting time!

I had planned on posting this picture back in June, but time had gotten away from me! And now I find out that school here starts in mid august! WHAT? That's crazy to me :) This picture was taken the day of Sam and Cora's preschool graduation.

Turning One

My baby turned one, six days ago, on June 10th. I decided to do some 1 yr old photos of her, but she definately suffers from the "photographer's child syndrome!!!" Where she practically runs away from me whenever she sees the camera come out! *sigh* She cried, looked away, or kept running towards me to sit in my lap, instead of staying put. Even though it was extremely frustrating, I know I will cherish these pictures of my youngest turning one.

All In the Family (Baby and Child Photography)

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit some good friends (and former co-workers) last saturday, and take some photos of their beautiful children! Thank you P. for letting us use your house, and for letting me photograph your handsome boys! And thank you M. for sharing baby Noah with me for several hours, he is truly an adorable baby! It was so fantastic to see how much Felix and Patrick adore their little cousin, and how gentle and loving they are around him. Thank you two for letting me document these precious moments of their lives.
