There really isn’t anything better…than an excited greeting from one of your munchkins.  The tight hugs, broad smiles and high-pitched squeals are REAL!  (Enjoy every second as I now have stinky teenagers who are hardly awake, much less excited, when I get home.)  Thank you for a fabulous afternoon in BEAUTIFUL weather!

I mean…please.  I really have no words for all this CUTENESS.  Seriously, I am struggling with editing because there are SO MANY smiles and delicious expressions.  Thank you for a great afternoon with fabulous moods and perfect weather!!

I definitely think it’s important to have a good time during a photo shoot.  Stiff, fake smiles and attitudes are the worst and that’s what I’m going to get if things don’t get fun.  I prepare the children and parents with a little, “We’re going to blow out the pictures that Mama wants, then let’s have some fun!”  I mean, when it’s all said and done, who cares about a shirt tail when you get belly laughter!?  Thanks for the great morning…and I hope they made it back to school for you!!

This little fella was quite the trooper seeing how three minutes into the shoot…~~ker-plunk~~ he took a tumble.  After a snack and some milk…he brushed it off and we got on our way with some fun.

What a great afternoon during the busy work season to hit the pause button and enjoy the park as a family.  The weather turned out to be perfect and the sweet puppy was just enough to add a little fun to the afternoon!

Somehow we managed to grab a good ‘ole Saturday morning in Winter…without freezing our noses off!  A fabulous early morning of chasing ducks, climbing trees and sippin’ fountains.  Love you people.

This little angel surprised Mama and Daddy early by making her debut the day after Christmas.  Mama already looks like a rock star sporting her jeans and regular clothes.  ~sigh~…whatever.   (I wore my husband’s undershirts and boxers for a several-month span before and after delivery.  For real.  That…or some oversized overalls…wow, so attractive and feminine.)  At any rate, check out this sweet girl’s wrinkled back, full head of hair and delicious lips.

I had the best time just watching this sweet baby boy.  He was so laid back, confident and content.  Mama and Daddy…I do hope you are able to enjoy the view and relax a little before heading home.  Thank you so much for having me out – what a pleasure.

This is hands down…no doubt about it…one of the nicest families around.  Mama does such a good job at keeping everyone busy, happy and around the living room.  Cheers to ALL OF YOU…and, thank you for taking Henry in like one of your own.  Happy New Year!

I recently had someone ask me if I enjoy shooting weddings or is it something that I dread?  I LOVE every single thing about it.  There is a whole process of emotions that is so fun to witness from beginning to end.  This particular wedding and wedding-party was just perfection and these two are true love birds.  CHEERS to you for pulling off one of the most fabulous nights…during a crazy time of year…in the most laid-back way ever!  Thank you for including me.
