{Mr.R}+ 18 months

This little guy was very busy! Most 18 month old boys are! He was so sweet though. I think I made a new friend. He took me by my finger and led me all over the place. Thanks for coming to see me for pictures and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek...






{Miss K}+ 6 months!

I can't believe this little one has made it to the 6 month mark. She is so precious! Thanks to her daddy for coming and helping with the session this time! I absolutely love that bikini! Too bad her daddy said she could only wear it this one time=). I think he's going to be a little protective,LOL. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!

{Daddy's Girl}

Isn't she gorgeous? Lovin' that red hair!
I had the pleasure of photographing a father and daughter a few days ago. Usually when I take pictures of a daddy and his little girl it's either when she's a newborn baby or on her wedding day. I kind of like this for a change. It turns out his daughter is spending 3 months in Nebraska (she's already there by now) so he wanted some recent pictures of her and then some of the two of them. I thought it was a great idea especially with Father's Day coming up! Thanks for coming for the session. I have lots of favorites from your session but I tried to narrow it down for the blog. I really enjoyed meeting you Jennifer and it was good to see you Richard. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

{Happy Birthday to me}+28 years


Today is my 28th birthday and I had to share this picture of me and my sweet boys. My mom made me a cake and it is as good as it looks in case you were wondering. I'm off to the spa for a day of pampering. It should be fun!

{Brothers}

Thanks to D & T for bringing their sweet boys my way for pictures. As you all know I am a little partial when it comes to boys since I have 2 of my own. I really had a lot of fun with them. Thanks for being patient with me on this sneak peek. I am trying to get caught back up. There are so many great ones of these guys that I really had trouble narrowing the post for the blog. So here goes....have fun looking. Leave comments below and let me know what you think! Oh, and mom and dad have a fabulous trip this week!

{Baby Thomas}+ 3 months

I spent the afternoon with one gorgeous family yesterday! I had so much fun! Baby Thomas is adorable and thank you guys for inviting me to your home for pictures. There are so many great shots that I really had a hard time deciding what to post. I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!



Gotta love the mommy & me and daddy & me pictures. They are precious.


This may be my favorite.

{Mr.S}+9 months!

Daddy's fishing chair worked out pretty well for this pose. It was a little dangerous but mom was holding him and the chair!

I had the best time at this little guy's house yesterday. I know I say this every time I post his pictures but I am telling you this is the happiest baby I think I have ever seen! He smiles non-stop the entire time. It's always a joy to see him and his nana just happened to be there yesterday so we got some pictures with her too. Thanks J and H for having me at your home for pictures. A change of scenery is always nice. I like this shirt. It really fits his personality. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek. I can't believe this was his 9 month session. Time really flies!

I love the look he has in this one!


Mr. S happens to not like standing in grass. When we tried to stand him in it he drew his feet up and wouldn't touch it. This was absolutely hilarious! You would just have to see it. So...we put the blanket down and he was okay with this pose after that!


He didn't want to wear the hat so the one above had to be really quick.

Mr.L+{a little T-ball action}


A sweet friend of mine asked me to take pictures of her son at his T-ball game yesterday. I had so much fun watching this cute little guy play ball! At this age they are just hilarious on a ball field. I am lovin' this slide into home(that's his daddy coaching at 3rd in the background)! I promised mom & dad a sneak peek so I hope you enjoy. I'll let you know when the gallery is ready for you! Have a great weekend. Oh, and you can leave comments below if you want! Thanks for having me. You guys are always fun!

C, I know you are going to like the one above!
