Number 2

It is amazing how time can seem to fly and yet barely move at the same time. It seems like only yesterday that I photographed this little boy when he was 31 weeks along and now it is his little brothers turn. Lauren was my very first real client, too, so in that sense it seems like quite a long time ago. She looks stunning, as always. Thanks, Lauren, for the continued opportunity to work with you and your family. :)

Meet Brinley...

Her big sister couldn't wait to show her off and I don't blame her! Mom and dad have two beautiful girls on their hands now. I'm guessing that there will be plenty of matching outfits around their house, just like you find at mine. :) Congratulations!

An Early Arrival

One of my best clients (who has also become a great friend) delivered this beautiful baby boy two weeks ago. He was due on July 12th, but he just couldn't wait to get out in the world and snuggle in his mama's arms. I rushed to the hospital and made it within minutes of his arrival. Everyone was talking about how quickly he arrived (just over an hour after mommy checked in) and how great Amy did. Congratulations Sheldon Family. I know that you can't wait for Palmer to join the three of you at home. Thank you so much for asking me to be a part of such a miracle!

3...

My husband watched the movie 3 (about Dale Earnhardt, for those non Nascar people out there!) again last night, since it just happened to be on ESPN. I'm not a huge fan of the sport or the movie, but I do love the number! Three years olds are one of the most fun ages for me to photograph. The smiles are genuine, they will usually stop and pose when asked, and they are just so darn cute! :) As the images show, this gorgeous little girl is full of smiles. I think we all had a good time. I can't wait to see her again in a couple of weeks when her new little sister gets here. Enjoy your preview...and be prepared to make some tough choices, cause boy is she cute!

...this last one gives you a glance into her more serious side. Isn't she stunning?

Oh Baby!

This is a theme you will be seeing a lot around here the next couple of months! This beautiful one month old never did settle into a deep sleep, but she did share her precious smile! Her big brother wanted in on the action, too. He modeled and worked as my little helper. :) Thanks for being such a big boy and sharing your new little sister with me for an hour!

The Birthday Boy

First birthdays are such an exciting time. I always love taking these milestone pictures! This little guy is so adorable. Don't you just love his baby blues? Thanks Kristi and Dave! Sunday was a lot of fun. I can't wait to get the kids together to play. It is such a blessing when God leads you to new friendships (especially when they are in your neighborhood!).
