Another BeAuTiFuL pregnant momma..is it me or is everyone else soo much cuter than me while pregnant! lol:)

I had the honor of getting to photograph my friend Stephanie~ this time with a bump!  Last Christmas when we did our mini sessions it was only the 3 of them,  now they will welcome a baby girl in just a few weeks- glad Ill be back from vacation ( or better!!) by the time little one arrives:)

AnaBeth- U were a true charm….The little girl who refused to look over my way during Christmas time- was all smiles this day and I think she is JUST about to burst with excitment over another litle girl in the house.

Thank you girls for being a part of my day- when you have this job- one really can’t complain…it just doesn’t get any better than a cute belly and a CUTEie pie little girl!!

Are made of Sugar and Spice and everything nice…. and still a little adventurous too!

I had THE best time with these two sweet girls….

Sophie – your tosies got me, that curly hair…..O.Goodness., and those shoes……LOVED them!  Loved that I got to capture her playing and being such a happy girl:)

Kate~ first off what a FANtastic name you have *wink!

You were a dream and so funny! I so glad you were able to tell me ( lol) how your reactions should be! he hee he- she seriously Rocks Amber:D Just a little story- Mom went to get sister changed and so I took some solos of Miss Kate- I think I could have stayed and talked to her for hours- she was off catching frogs, asking me about the LIGHT in photography ( shes like 7!), and just so fun to be around.

My favs (well I had soo many favs had to stop myself at these!) are first one with leaf ( child at play for sure- so cute!), sisters on the bench with a sweet little hand on head, and LOVE  the one with the little umbrella ( if I do say so myself ;P).  A GReat friend recently found for me this little gem- I love anything vintage so for her to think of me and grab it up was so very sweet!

Enjoy my friend Amber!!

O what fun it was to capture sweet little girls having fun in tu-tus!!!

Andrea from Hair DooDads Galore contacted me to do some advertising work for her website and I was more than honored to participate.  She set up a model search and these little darlings did FANtastic doing what girls do best… tea parties, finding flowers in the “secret” garden, and making new friends:) thank you to all the families who participated and letting me capture these fun memories.  Thank you Andrea for thinking of me and can’t wait to see what new adventures your company has in store!  Enjoy!

what a fun age… and what a fun little girl- she was ALL smiles the entire time.  We had one quick bottle break ( hence the GReat “Got Milk”  look she has in one photo…..) I had such a awesome time with this little family.  Amanda and Dre you have the SWEETess little one.. but I think you already know this *wink. And the book thing… HAD to do it – we LOVE Olivia around here and have so many books, so FIRST thing I ran and grabbed when Amanda called me up?…why an OLIVIA book of course!  ENJOY!!

I have been blessed to get to capture quite a few newborns lately, but I have to say ( sorry other newbies!) this lil guy was soooo chill.  I put him in a basket, on a guitar, in a trunk…and he slept the ENTIRE time.  Maybe because it was nice and outside or maybe because he is just that kind of laid back lil dude ( much like my 5th, Briggs, which btw Caleb soo made me want that kind of newborn again- too bad we dont choose temperaments huh?! lol)

I actually was a lil scared to really move him like I wanted to since this was my first who complained not once and while I know babies are super flexible the first few weeks, to be honest I was nervous! lol who me?! But looking over these my heart soared with adoration for this lil man- so cute, so sweet , and just perfect in every way…….  this is why I LOVE, love, LOVE my “job”~ even though sometimes it may not be what I in-visioned it turns out cute and maybe better because … well LOOK at him!? How could you NOT say awwwwwwwww- u know you did ( especially the way he crossed his fingers in the one shot!)

Hope you enjoy your sneak Becky and will be done with gallery soon!

I never will get enough of those first moments  I get to capture- the sweet hands of a newborn………

sweet baby girl…..thank you Cassidy and Family for letting me capture these precious,sweet moments in time~

more to come of brother and sister soon!

“Receiving Holy Communion for the first, or the hundred and first, time is like nothing else in the world. It’s a wonder we can take it so calmly. Of course, if we could grasp what happens, we would die on the spot. Saints have. Blessed Imelda died after receiving Communion from the hands of Our Lord, but for the rest of us there is little chance of that. The rest of us have trouble remaining recollected long enough to say Thank-You with simple graciousness.”

I was trying to really find out what first Communion meant to a young one….or to anybody for that matter. The above was one of the first things I read online coming from catholicculture.com.  I thought it was so cool~ the part that says “the rest of us have trouble remaining recollected long enough to say Thank -You with simple gracioussness” much like how I feel that Christ died for me and one day I will be able to thank Him truly in Heaven…..

I had the privileged to be apart of a sweet little girls first communion shots.  We were blessed with more than perfect setting ( the church) and a beautiful day!  She was so sweet, and put up with trying out new shady spots as it was a bit sunny:D Thank you Busby family for letting me capture such a milestone in your families life!
