{ happy birthday stella! }

To our little "Stella Bean"-I can't believe that is has already been two years since you entered the world bright eyed and bushy tailed. Some things never change- you have been a mover and a shaker since day one and you continue to keep daddy and I on our toes! We love you so much Stella Grace and are so very very thankful for all that you teach us on a daily basis. Most of all I love that not a day goes buy when you don't make us laugh. We are truly blessed and we love you more than you'll ever know........Happy 2nd Birthday Stella! Love, mommy and daddy:)

~Thank you LORD for all your gifts, especially our little Stella!

{ the many faces of finn. }

Ahhhh!! I can't take his cuteness!! Are those not some of the MOST adorable eyes you have ever seen?!?! I had so much fun capturing little Finn and all of his expressions. 6 months is such a fun age...... We were long overdue for a visit with Finn man and his awesome mommy and daddy. We had such a great time grilling out and watching Finn and my little Stella interact (it gives me hope for the next little one;) As always, it was SO great to see you Jen and Woj! Love you guys!

{ full house. }

This impromptu session ended up being lots of fun;) I rarely go ANYWHERE without my camera- for this exact reason:) My friend Maegan is up for anything and lucky for us so was her newby, little Quinn. There is never a shortage of activity going on in this "full house." The bottom pics are some of my favorites- real life and lovely chaos with four kiddos!! Thanks Maegan :0

I had such a great time at this session:) Little Kaiden is such a sweet little guy who loves the camera(can't you tell by the adorable little gaze?) And check out that awesome hair- Love it! Jeynae and Steve, what an amazing little guy you have and he's obviously already so in love with you two. Thanks again!!

{ sweet charlotte. }

Meet my newest cousin, Charlotte:) She was just 1 month young at this shoot. She is just soooo beautiful-I think I could've photographed her all day:) I have to admit that these are some of my all- time favorite pics! She was so content and just stared at the camera the whole time. Jesse and Angie, thanks so much for having me capture your sweet little Charlotte. I had so much fun:)

{ a house full of boys. }

Could they be any cuter?!! These handsome little guys belong to one of my college roommates. As you can see she definitely has her hands FULL! Three little guys under 2!?! It was so fun to catch up and see how life has changed since college. Marie-it was so great to see you! I look forward to another "reunion" this summer at Heidi's!!
