N Family {Sibling Session}

These three sisters, ages 5, 3, and 1, are so cute and they all look just alike! They have the most beautiful, striking blue eyes and bright blonde hair!  Their personalities shine even brighter!  I had a lot of fun with these girls watching them just love on each other.  They also loved on my dog too!  Take a peek at these sweeties...

Little "I" Turns One Today!

Happy Birthday to a super sweet baby girl! Oh, does time fly!  I was honored that her momma was willing to drive 1.5 hours so I could take her pictures.  

I hope you enjoy the photos from her cake smash!  Little "I" was certainly on sensory over-load and loving it...

Daddy-Daughter Dance and W Family Session

These two sweet little princesses were very excited about their fabulous hair (done by Jo) and beautiful dresses.  They smiled for the camera and eagerly anticipated dancing at the ball with their fathers.  (Insert heart melting here)  Little princess O was heard saying several times "Let's hurry, we don't want to be late for our dance!"  Sweet princess B kept losing her pretty little slippers.  It was like watching Cinderella unfold! ;-)

While the princesses were dressed up, the rest of the family did too.  I especially love these photos because it was my first session where I used flash.  Yes, that's right... I'm branching out and trying new things.  And, while I'm still learning, I absolutely love it!  I will have this down in no time! 

Enjoy and don't forget to "click" the photo to enlarge...

P Family {Valentine Session}

I must admit I'm always especially excited when my clients are under two years old.  I always feel overwhelmed with joy {and also a little anxious} because you can't exactly direct children at this age.  At this session there were two brothers, ages 18 months and 2 months; they were the two cutest baby boys!  B was on a mission... mission ADORABLE!  He wanted to run and get toys, play on the stairs and find my dog Cooper.  We finally got him to sit still when he discovered there were marbles to play with... but then came the serious faces!  ;-)  However, I still find that these pictures melt my heart!  I hope that his mom and dad love them too!  I really had fun working with you guys!  'Mom and dad' were a HUGE help during this session getting the boys to look the right way! Thanks!

Does't this just shout "brotherly love"!?!
