Curly-haired Cuties!

I have had the pleasure of shooting these two beauties since they were born. You’ve seen their two handsome brothers on the blog as well 🙂 Their family is very special to me and they’re big supporters of my little business 🙂 This session was just to get some updated shots of the girls – we had a blast hanging out at the park – throwing leaves and goofing around <3

and because I’ll never get a chance to go back and post any more favorites from the holiday sessions now that I’m busy shooting again – here are my favorites of the four kiddos from their shoot a few months ago 🙂

Graces . . .

1. Hubby is home after being gone for a week – the kids and I missed him so much and single parenting is no joke!

2. Grey’s is back on after winter hiatus!

3. Gapcash

4. My niece will be SIXTEEN this weekend – how the heck did that happen?!

5. Re-read one of my favorite recent books and am now anxiously awaiting the movie in June

Sweet baby boy

This was my first time meeting this gorgeous family – I was so nervous for their session because mama is a photographer herself and wanted some pics with her boys. We had to reschedule once so their sweet boy was a little older than my average newborn but he cooperated so well for the session – sleeping for part and giving us lots of smiles the rest of the time. Big brother is so handsome and was so sweet with his little brother. I ended up loving almost every image from this session – was so hard to narrow down a few to share!

1. Plugging along at my 365 project! Determined to keep at it till the end and make a book!

2. Just finished The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and have started kon maring my house – already feeling less stressed over the rooms that have been decluttered – highly recommend!

3. The memory card I washed in my pants pocket yesterday was empty – thank goodness!

4. When we tell Ellie to do “ojitos bonitos” she bats her eyelashes at us – so so funny!

5. An afternoon of board games with my little guy yesterday

Slides and ducks!

I have been to this park many times but have never really explored it before – during this session this cute little guy helped me find some awesome slides and a cute little boat that was perfect for duck watching 🙂

graces . .

1. Christian seeks out the sample carts at Costco now – pretty sure I didn’t need to feed him dinner after his haul on Thursday!

2. Dinner dates with good friends after a busy few months!

3. Ellie took two steps yesterday! Pretty soon we will be chasing her around!

4. Well on my way on my 365 project – decided to switch over to my iphone since it’s more convenient so will have to make an effort to take more pics of Ellie on my big camera

5. Ellie’s Easter dress has been purchased thanks to Well Dressed Wolf – I’m serious mamas – check them out!

More Beachy Fun :)

This session was extra special because it was a gift for Grandma – a session with all of her grandkids. What a gorgeous group and so much fun!

graces . . .

1. Catching up my poor neglected blog! Once I start back to shooting full swing there’s not much time to blog so I’m glad I can get some of my favorite sessions up now 🙂

2. Ellie is developing such a personality – so fun to watch!

3. Got to see Alvin with my boys last week – first time at the movies since before I had Ellie and it was a cute one!

4. Christian is learning to read now in school and is so excited about it – reading was my favorite hobby growing up so I hope he becomes a big reader too

5. Just watched the video from Christian’s school Christmas program – soooo cute!
