double cousins...

Only in Kentucky can one be legally double related to someone, hehehe. Follow if you can - my mom and Judy are cousins; my dad and Ronnie are cousins. Mom married Dad; Judy married Ronnie - everyone had kids (myself and my cousins Carla and sister Kelly included). Carla and Kelly and I have the same great-grandparents on both sides.

Even if you didn't follow all of that, you have to agree that Great Grandmother Elliott and Great Grandmother Flowers would adore these kiddos. Will and Katey are just like their mom in a lot of ways - and with Owen being a little like me, I think these cousins will have as many fun days as we did as kids!

energy...

I was in my hometown of Paducah, Kentucky last weekend and met up with my cousins for some photos. Kaeli is two and a ball of energy! I got my much need pregnancy exercise trying to keep up with her and her big sister Zoe at a local park. Thanks girls!

camryn hope...

Somehow I lost this photo in my attempts to organize photos on my new computer. How excited I was to discover it today!

abbie and ian....

This brother and sister pair couldn't be cuter! The weather was unseasonably cool for a Saturday in September, but they were great sports!

more than smiles

If I only captured the photos my own son smiles for, let's just say I'd have more room on the bookcase for albums. This was my sleepy little pumpkin this morning after daddy dropped him off at one of my sessions. Smile or no smile, he's the most beautifully amazing part of my life.

McGibby wedding....

I was in a friend's wedding this weekend and took a few photos. It was a beautiful event from start to finish! I don't think Cincinnati has had rain in two months - until it was time for us to leave for the church! Thank goodness for a sweet spirited bride - she just kept smiling!

I love mommy...

Moms are too often on the other side of the lens. How sweet it is to capture an expression like this one!
