The Sweetest Angel

It seems absolutely impossible that sweet Baby Reece turned one year old! We photographed her parents' wedding and then were lucky enough to capture her as a newborn. Kids just really do grow up too fast. Everyone tells you that, but you don't realize how true it is until there is a little one in your life, changing everyday. I guess that is why photographs are so important to me. I want to remember each face (and each outfit) before it changes. I have a bad memory, so I need visual reminders. :)

This precious princess is one of my favorite subjects. Her family is welcome at our studio any time!! Her mother is the nicest person you will ever meet, her father is fun, her brother is well-mannered, so it is no wonder that Reece herself is...perfection!! Happy Birthday, Sweetie!!

These are the very same wings she wore in her newborn photos that turned out so beautifully. A year later, she is still truly angelic!

Who loves her Pooh Bear?

Beautiful girl, beautiful dress, beautiful headband, colorful parasol=too, too cute! Well planned, Mom!

Somebody get this kid an agent!
We're still working on these, so I have no doubt there will be more cuteness to come. Can't wait to see you guys at Nicole & Wade's wedding this weekend!!

Marvelous Max

I love how kids are completely oblivious to the heat.  The grown-ups are trudging around in a bad mood begging for air-conditioning, but the munchkins continue running around with their incredible energy.  Even on the hottest of days, Max had a TON of energy!!  We were definitely breaking a sweat to keep up with him!  :)

Look at that cutie...

He asked where the birdie was...

He loved swinging and didn't want Mommy to sit with him because she slowed it down...

Running, running, everywhere...

Sliding, swinging; he did it all...

We've got mail!

I just received our invitation to Allen's birthday party and I LOVE what his mommy did for the invites! She always has such creative ideas!!

Tres Anos Fiesta

See, I remember a little Spanish from high school.  ;)  Allen is turning three soon and is celebrating with a fiesta-themed party.  Technically, that would be a party-themed party, but you know what I'm saying.  His mother is a brilliant jewelry designer slash graphic designer and will be making super awesome invitations for said party, which I can't wait to see.  Check out the new backdrop!!

The maracas were a big hit, as was our new chair...

Little sis, Elizabeth, wanted to show him how posing is done...

Enjoying the new fall props...

Taking a siesta under his poncho...

I knew there was a smile in there somewhere... Did I mention that he can say the entire "Pledge of Allegiance"?!

Feliz cumpleanos, Hombre Pequeno!

Future Diva

We recently had the very expressive little Helena visit us.  I predict this face will one day launch a thousand ships.

Love this...

Looking angelic...
Pretty as a posy...

Look at that smile!

Who loves her teddy?

Summer Fun

Even though it is hot outside, you can still have fun celebrating the season inside!!

Someone has a little attitude...

She reminds me of those '50s bathing beauties....

Little Miss Sassy Pants....

A Family's Reunion

Three generations came together for the first time since the newest addition, Vivian, was born.  The families are scattered to three different cities, on two different continents, and we were there to capture their happy reunion.

Gavin and Elliot hang out with a very proud Grandpa...

Gavin recently turned six years old and is such a cutie...

The whole crew...

Bryan and Londonne's gang...

It was an honor to witness a family history and hang with you guys for the morning!  

Starring Sofia

I tend to gush when I talk about this little girl because she is one of my absolute favorite kids to work with and I was SO jazzed to shoot her again.  With her beautiful blue eyes, blonde hair and array of adorable facial expressions, she could be a child model.  But on top of that- she is SUPER sweet!  Her mom says that she has tantrums, but I don't believe it.  When she calls Susan "Mama", it melts my heart a little!  :)

Wearing the cutest little jumper I've ever seen...

Giving her mama a hug and a dandelion....

Can't wait to see you guys again!!!  

Frogs, snails and puppy dog tails

4 boys could be complete chaos, but these cuties are the portrait of politeness.  And, they all have beautiful eyes and angelic smiles.  You still need a lot of energy to keep up with this family of six though.  :)

And we took some headshots for Amanda to use for her home-based business...

Thank you for sharing the day with us, Matthew, Amanda, Brandon, Aaron, Sam and Zach!!

A family affair

Carrie & Jayson, sitting in a tree...  actually, they were walking in a rose garden, but you know what I'm sayin'.  :)  We are getting excited for their rapidly approaching 4th of July wedding!!  

We had a fabulously fun day with the two families that are being brought together with this marriage.  The 6 kids (yes, 6!) were great subjects!

The younger kids had so much energy!

Holly and Hannah hiding...

Thanks for a great day!  We'll see you all soon!!
