berries....

We did some berry pickin at Blueberry Hill this past week.  Stella was a wonderful help and Poppy and Huck were wonderful at eating everything we picked. 

Hope you have a great weekedend....I am off to the burbs to photograph a wedding!

Miss Piper is....

A little bit silly....

A little bit serious.....

And totally adorable....

I think I'll keep her....just don't tell her mom:)

Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day!

Stages....

When the mom called to book a session she said her daughter was eight months and wanted to schedule right away because she really wanted this stage of her life captured. 

After editing the images I realized she was right and this was a special stage. Not typical newborn and not the excitement of turning one years old but right in the middle.

Where......

Mom is still hilarious.....

Fingers taste oh so good.....

Big brother and sister are still superstars....too little to sqabble with...yet:)

Not walking but understands all the excitement involved practicing!

and still loves all those sweet sister kisses...

Yes I believe this may be my new favorite stage:)

I got lucky...they were such well behaved kids.  The oldest boy carried all my props voluntarily!  I had a wonderful time with all of them.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Little man..... one year old

He is so cute isn't he! I just couldn't get over his sparkling baby blues.

He was so easy to photograph ...nailed every smile and gave me awesome 'GQ' model poses too!

I was excited to finally use some new props too.... My dad put legs on this vintage suitcase and I think it was perfect for the daper boy in his cardigan!

I have loved being able to photograph this little guy since he was just a bump...so fun to see them grow and change!

p.s.

 

love is in the air.....Engagement Session

Man did I have a hard time editing these....I could have posted them all....I loved them all:)

Such a sweet couple and were kind enough to put up with my shenanigans....which is always a plus!

Can't wait to photograph their big day in June....it's coming up quick!

I'll be back to post soon...have lots to show!

four

Without my permission Huck went and turned four.

For fear of getting gushy I'll just say:

I love your hugs, your silly grin and your hilarious imaginary stories.....specifically the one about the two pieces of bread named toothpaste and soap:)

Spring is about here and I am starting to dust the cobwebs off my camera.  Soon enough I'll be in the swing of things and posting more often.

See you then!

A Makeover...

The WEBSITE has been updated...Whew! It's been a long time coming but

I think it looks bright and snazzy!  There is some new work and oldies but goodies too:)  Also

check out the new testimonials button...those are always fun to read and I'll be adding to those throughout the next few days as well. 

Happy Tuesday!
