a playdate with the middleton family . . .

On a cold, windy eventing this past spring, I took a few shots of this precious family when they were still a family of three.  Now with ninety degree weather and the sun beaming down on us, we meet again.  I just adore this family - the sass of little Miss Taylor, the chillness of baby Adam and the calmness and laughter of mom and dad.  Love seeing the difference between these two sessions… Enjoy. . .

             

 

                                                         

 

     

an afternoon stroll with TWO year old Greta Grace. . .

It truly seems like yesterday that I sat in the hospital room holding Greta Grace, staring into her sweet wide eyes.  Now this little Miss Sassiness is TWO and let me tell you, those eyes are just as big and beautiful as the day she was born but with a little more attitude behind them.  Laughter and joy filled this session as I saw life through GG's eyes - the curiosity, the love, the giggles, and the expressions.  Love this baby girl and her momma to the moon and back.

 

a birthday bash with sadie bug. . . .

We had such a blast celebrating Miss Sadie turning ONE! It seems like yesterday I went to the hospital to visit this precious little babe and now she's turning one.  Where does the time go?  I loved being a guest at the party and getting to capture a few of the fun moments surrounding the big day!  Here are a few of my favorites . . .

 

a merry & bright mini session with the burger family . . .

I loved my Christmas card mini-sessions especially when spent with a sweet family like the Burger's.  Teresa and I teach together and since we teach different grades I don't see her as often as I'd like.  This little lady is such an amazing woman, wife, mom, daughter, teacher and I'm sure all the other roles she plays in her life where her strength and her kindness shine through.  I loved that I was able to see this crew interact together just a few weeks before Christmas - sweet Josie loving on her brother just melted my heart.  These are a few of my favorites . . .

 

a merry & bright mini session with the loomis family . . .

I had such a wonderful time and am so honored that I got to spend time with this little guy - Jacob.  I worked at Austin's Restaurant (can't talk about the fact that is gone now-tear) with Mike and Danielle over fifteen years ago when they first became lovebirds and now I got to spend the afternoon gearing up for Christmas with them and their sweet baby boy!  These are a few of my favorites . . .
