Kendall and Claire

It's been ages since I've posted new photos - not because I haven't taken any - there just aren't enough hours in the day to do all I want to do. That said, I wanted my first posting of 2009 to be a special one - and these two did not disappoint. Kendall is my brother in-law, for those of you who notice his dashing good looks - same gene pool as my hot husband and cutie kids, hehe. And it takes only a second to see why he loves Claire so much - if her eyes don't steal your heart, her smile and warm personality surely will.







I can't wait for the wedding!!

Ellie Kate and Molly...

These two cuties happen to be children of some of my high school friends. I was so excited when Kati emailed and asked if I would be available to do a session with them. It's so much fun to see my friends have their own little people - with such cute personalities! Ellie Kate and Molly could not have been more adorable. Thanks for a fun morning!

The reward...I adore this box. Apparently it's been handed down for several generations now.

I love the little ones...

I love people period, but I am especially fond of the little ones. These two cuties reminded me of how much I love what I do every day. What a great privilege to capture the sweetest times in life.

Happy Birthday CJ!

I cannot believe it's been a full year since I took CJ's newborn photos! My how they change in those few months! Happy Birthday cutie pie!

This mantis is not praying...

If this little guy met my little guy (four year old curious one), I think he'd want to start praying a little harder. What a fun find for our family at the front door this morning! (hint: click on the photo to enlarge it)

lovely day...

My favorite time of year is upon us. There is something almost magical about the colors this time of year - and at the right time of day, I'm almost in Heaven. And then add five bubbly little girls...well I can barely contain my excitement! What a grand time we had running around the yard, catching frogs, and bouncing through the flowers. Thanks for a splendid afternoon!













Comparing dirt...

Ruby and a rock star....

Oh my goodness, I must admit I have a soft spot for kids named Owen (my own son's name) - and now one for Ruby too (I had a fun great aunt by the same name). These two kiddos were quite the entertainers! The music went on and the good times rolled!
