Sandy family fun!

This was my third time hanging out with this family at the beach – they have been with me since way back when I first started 🙂 Their two little guys are tons of fun and so cute together! Seeing them interact makes me excited for Christian to have a little brother someday 🙂





Grandma and Grandpa came along to be in a few of the pics 🙂

Six months :)

Looking back through my posts I realized that I never posted any of this little gal’s newborn pics so here is just one for comparison’s sake 🙂

I got to hang out with her again a few weeks ago to capture some shots of her at six months. She wasn’t too sure about the beach or getting stuck in a bucket . . .



so we moved the party to another location and while she still wasn’t too sure about the big black box in her face we were able to get a few smiles 🙂 I just love her expressions!

My sweet boy,

How is it possible that is has been two years since we first laid eyes on your sweet face?

The time has just flown by so quickly and you have grown into such a smart, happy, funny little guy. I always dreamed of being a mama and you made that dream come true. Now our days are filled with trucks, cars, bubbles, books and so much fun! You are currently obssessed with anything related to cars, both hot wheel type cars and the movie which we watch daily. You are also into bubbles or “buckles” as it sounds coming out of your mouth and we blow them all day both in the house and out 🙂 You are talking so much more now and finally saying “mama” which I love 🙂 On the way to Grandma and Papa’s house in the morning you give me a running commentary on the buses, trucks and cars you see as well as bikes and motorcycles and you have to wave bye to each which of course I think is so cute. You still love to watch Wow Wow Wubbzy and you love Max and Ruby as well. You are still a great sleeper – sleeping 10-12 hours each night with a 3+ hour midday nap and when you wake up in the morning you play quietly or read until we come to get you. You’re still a pretty good eater too – you just prefer to graze all day rather than sit down to meals – you get that from your mama 🙂

You are such an amazing little guy and I am so blessed to be your mama. I can’t wait to see what this year brings for you. Happy Birthday baby boy – mama and dada love you so much <3

Yesterday I hung out with this little sweetie and her mama to work on some shooting techniques. She was much more interested in exploring then letting us take her picture but I got a few shots that I loved 🙂

I love the little hint of tongue here 🙂

and her little feet here 🙂

2. Picked up 5 dozen of the yummiest cupcakes ever from For The Love Of Sugar this morning – it’s taken everything in my power not to get into them all day 🙂
3. New friends 🙂 New friends with cute kiddos to photograph 🙂 🙂
4. Excited to watch a good friend get married a week from tomorrow!
5. Sparkling cranberry juice – yummy! Has become a new favorite in our house 🙂

Taking a break . . .

from stuffing party favors that is – to bring you a few shots of this little cutie I got to hang out with a couple weeks ago. He was not at all interested in me or my camera – just wanted to explore 🙂
