Just a little cold...

Wow...what a start to this session! It. Was. Freezing. The spot we started off in was being hit hard with intense wind...I was worried. Luckily as we moved around and found some other areas to shoot in we got some shelter from the wind and started to feel all our limbs again! :-) In fact, the rest of the session was rather nice...partly because I had feeling in my fingers but mostly because I got to know a very sweet couple! I always feel so special when people include me to help share such important moments, but it's made even sweeter by the fact that this couple JUST moved into the area (from rather far away) and found me online and wanted to work with me! They didn't know someone who had worked with me, they came to my work and decided I was the right choice for them...that is pretty special! Thanks mom and dad-to-be!

Well, I hope the wait was worth it for mom-to-be (I am a day later than I had planed on this post because of a sick kid - story of my life)! They are a sweet couple...and you can't even tell they were partially frozen! :-)

Sweet, Sweet Summer!

As I type this my backyard is a soggy mess. We have had nothing but rain for the last 4 days in an otherwise GLORIOUS summer. Lucky for me I got to meet up with this birthday boy the night before all the rain began to fall.

What a great night we had...and what a cutie this little man is. He was all smiles for me and his bright blue eyes were just stunning. To end off an evening this little man celebrated his birthday in true summer fashion...running around outside and eating cake...in a diaper. So much fun to watch this little guy with this sweet treat.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Growing Families!

In between spending my vacation time with my family on road trips and day trips I have been meeting up with other families to capture a small piece of their summer. Rather than a big blog post here are a few pictures from some of my July sessions. As usual I am behind on my blogging...so here are the highlights and some sweet moments with these three lovely families! Thanks to family number one for meeting me EARLY in the morning, family number two for managing to get all four kids to participate in this fun sessions and family number three for meeting me before a crazy storm! Oh...and congrats to all the families...all three mommas are expecting! :-)

All lovely families with some lovely memories! Happy long weekend people! :-)
