the charming little traveler…

Once again I need to thank Mr. Google for bringing me the following adorable family.  The ever so charming Mr. S is 6 months old and over the top adorable! He is a tad small for his age as he made his entrance into this world a bit early, but what he lacks in size he more than makes up for in character. Seriously this little dude is such a charmer, I am so looking forward to seeing him grow up over the next year, and hearing about his first big adventure traveling. This little guy and family are heading off to Turkey at the end of the month, sounds like a long plane ride, but a fun trip to visit friends and family. I am sure with his stunning eyes and smile he will be charm his way in to every one’s hearts.

So on to the photos! We had a great time playing around the beautifully decorated living room and front yard.

Here are a few of my favs so far:

Look at that face, I wanted to just eat him up.

babyNum-11

babyNum-18

check out that gummy smile! ahhhh I dare you not to smile back.

babyNum-19

I am pretty sure this look of love what not for me, but a certain pretty mama behind me and to the left. Someone only has eyes for mama.

playset

I love it when baby’s just ignore me and play. You get a chance to really see their personality. This little guy was all about the wiggly toes. Cracks me up, oh that ages goes so quickly.

babyNum-23BW

Poor little dude is currently battling molars, but still smiling! I just love his eyes here.

babyNum-27

Sweet Annabelle, my favorite of all miracle babies. :)

This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending a little time with miss Annabelle & her family. Some of you might recognize her adorable mom & dad from my banner above. They are the cute maternity session on the orange wall. 🙂 Well a little over a year ago that cute bump turned into a beautiful miracle baby.  Not only is miss A adorable beyond words, she is a fighter. This little one has seen the inside of a surgery room more times than most of us, she has struggled and fought her way to health over and over. Her story is amazing, and so is the lovely little lady. I just adore her can you tell? It was such an honor to capture her at year 1!

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Ridiculous cuteness with the P family

I started talking to the mommy of two beautiful little girls a few months ago about setting up a session. She described her family and property and I knew I had to get them in front of my lens. The “P” family has an amazing home to shoot in and around. It is superbly decorated, and on stunning forested acres. It also helped the youngest family members are over the top adorable. 🙂 I had so much fun running around after these two! The whole family was so great, I had a horrible time pairing down the images for a sneak peek.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

jumpingset

Meet “Big Sister” she was so fun, shhhh don’t tell mom I told her to jump on the bed. I just had to!

bigissmilebed

Such a beautiful girl, and the room was so adorably decorated! T you have to tell me the name of your decorator. She did a great job!

cribset

Meet “Little Sister” this little one may be small, but she has some serious character! Her room was also super cute, I just love that mobile!

babycrib

her little face kills me!

girlstogether

they are also very sweet together, fast! but very sweet.

bwset1

Such a fun family, I know there must be a ton of laughter in this home.

fieldset

The property was absolutely beautiful to shoot on, really I have a million in this grassy meadow I just adore.

bigsisbw

Big sister was so cute for me, messy hair and all. I love getting kids in their real life zone. 🙂

familyinforest

We even tromped into the woods for a bit! I have to admit I ended up with a few mosquito bites, but so very worth it for these shots. How adorable are they!

littlesisbw

Little sister has the most beautiful sparkly eyes. I love her pondering look here.

slideset

Weeeee! I had to grab a few of the kids in action. They are some lucky kiddos to have a cool play-set in their own back yard. I am sure that thing sees allot of action on nice days. I love Little Sister’s expression doing down the slide, priceless!

T I had an absolutely fabulous time with all of you. Thanks for having me out to capture your fantastic family. I hope you like the results! Thanks again for the lovely goody bag as well, my little one is crazy about all the delicious new treats in our cupboard.  I will have the whole set for you very soon, and I have some ideas of wall collections already. And of course like all my new clients I would love to offer you a comment challenge. If you can 30 people to comment on this post, I will gift you a cute little wallet brag book perfect for taking cute little blond girls along with you on business trips. So get commenting folks!

Big fun with the “O” family

I have known members of the “O” family for many years. It’s a small town we live in, and this family has always been known for their kindness and laughter. After doing Kathleen’s senior photos last year she asked if I would do a family session, I said of course! This session was a gift from all three kids to their parents for mothers & father’s day, how awesome is that. I hope you all like them! I had a hard time narrowing it down, we had so much fun.

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

olmstead-10

they were all so fun

logsset

I loved the campus we used for the session, so many great places to shoot. These random logs were too great not to use. Sorry again about the splinters guys!

inflowers

We also broke out into smaller groups for some shots. How cute is Adrian’s family, seriously I could have done a full blog post on just this cute little blond!

parentsmooch

yep I full on grossed out the kids but getting mom and dad to smooch, they are so adorable together.

sisters

and the silly sisters had their moment in the spot light, these two crack me up!

warning, may induce sugar shock. {family & baby sneak peek}

I have an amazing job, I do, true story. I get to hang out with people during the happiest times of their lives, celebrating weddings and babies, it rocks. In my job I  meet allot of adorable kiddos, but I have to warn you this next baby won me over big time. Little baby N is so stinken sweet I wanted to eat her up. Her sparkly baby blues, her perfectly pink cheeks, and those chubby legs, gah so cute! The whole family was so adorable and accommodating, I could have hung out all day. I had an insanely hard time choosing photos for this peek so I hope you are comfortable it is going to be a long one!

So with out with out further ado, here are some of my favs so far:

babynopeek20090523_1

I double dog dare you not to smile back.

M thank you so much for having me into your home to capture your beautiful family. Your little girl is just divine, I hope you love these as much as I do. I have so many more to show you, and soon! Your home was perfect to shoot it, and you guys were so sweet to work with all of our schedules to make it all work. I had a blast.  And of course I have to hook up the comment challenge, if you can get 25 people to comment on this blog post (yes you can comment too!) I will throw in a cute little wallet album perfect for showing off that sweet little girl of yours. I will have the whole set for you soon.
