{ little man tate. }

Handsome little Tate was just 10 days new for his shoot.  He barely made a peep and is obviously SOO cute!  I know I say it all the time, but I just LOVE newborns!!......Big brother Ian is just as handsome and I had to snap a few with him as well.  Ian is seriously one of the most photogenic kids I've met-his eyes just pop!  I think the two of them will be the best of friends.  And of course Mommy looked beautiful and was so calm, cool, and collected ( I hope I'm that pulled together when baby #2 arrives;).  Thanks so much Shelly, congrats on your newest blessing!! 

"Preach the Good News.  Be ready at all times, and tell people what they need to do.  Tell them when they are wrong.  Encourage them with great patience and careful teaching, because the time will come when people will not listen to the true teachings but will find many more teachers who please them by saying the things they want to hear. "  2 Timothy 4: 2-3

These two little chica's kept me on my toes - they are obviously going to be athletic (just like their mommy!)  From their beautiful locks to their cool blue eyes, there was no shortage of cuteness.  Their little personalities show through in the pics and I just had to include some pouty pics- because how cute are they even when their upset?!  I love it.....Thanks so much for having me capture your girlies Brigit.  They are adorable:) (a BIG thank you to mi madre for the extra help!)

Stella and I enjoyed a nice walk up to campus today.  She loves going there to run around (and of course to visit daddy).  Today when we had to go potty we discovered that nobody was in the "music hall" and so we had a little fun.  She sure loves the piano......it was quite comical when she would sing as she played.  Thought I would share:)

peek-a-boo I see you!

Gorgeous family alert!!! Even though this session was suppose to be for just the little guys, I managed to get mom and dad in for just a few pics. They are such a good-lookin' bunch and I had such a great time! Landon, Trevor, and Ethan were a bit cautious of me at first but by the end of the session I think I had won them over. To be honest with you, I'm not sure I wanted to leave! They have such a great set-up out in the country-the boys can run free and act as silly as they want! Their mommy is also super talented. Not only does she have these little guys to take care of, but she also makes everything from cloth diapers to these adorable crocheted clothing pieces. You have to check out her blog HERE for more info! Thanks so much for having me capture your little guys Nicholle and Ted!!

{ love ya. }

Happy anniversary to my wonderful hubby. God couldn't have blessed me with a greater man. Your love and PATIENCE has taught me so many things and I hope you know just how much you mean to me. You are an amazing daddy/husband and I am so thankful that I get to spend this crazy life with you. I love watching Stella scream "daddy" and run into your arms when you get home and I can't wait for our next little to love you just as much;) Most of all I love the way you love ME-unconditionally. You are my rock. Thank you for everything........ I can't believe how fast the last five years have gone. Here's to many, many more!!! Love always, Me:)

Brooke and Delaney have become regulars on my blog and I always look forward to my sessions with them- NEVER a shortage of cuteness. This time their new baby cousin, Gavin joined them for a session. Gavin is just 2 months and SO handsome. I think he likes getting his picture taken:) We even got his mommy in on some which made for some really sweet pics. Brooke and Delaney were super photogenic as always! I just love the little tutu's that their mommy made for them- SO CUTE! (I was lucky enough to get one from their mommy for my little princess-thanks so much April!!) Thanks so much Dawn and April- I had a great time capturing your kiddos;)

{ three little ladies. }

I have definitely been slacking on the blog lately. I am doing my best to play catch up. It's just so hard to sit at the computer with all this beautiful weather!....First up are three adorable sisters. We have been trying to get together for a session for quite some time now. I was excited to finally get our schedules on track:) I had such a fun session with them and got some really cute shots. They all have such cool eyes-each one different, but so beautiful! I just love the shot of mom and the girls:) Kathy it was great to finally meet you and your girlies. Thanks again!
