I’ve had a record amount of sessions lately. I’m getting closer and closer to hiring a staff member just to keep up. I would like to publicly thank my AWESOME and amazing husband for doing all the dishes and cooking. Without him, I think I would lose my mind! He’s taken up the hobby of creating delicious meals and I’m taking up the hobby of gaining weight from those meals. It’s fun for everyone! (minus the whole pants getting tighter sort of thing….)

Anyhoo, I love love LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE my clients for being not only gorgeous, but amazing people to work with. So thank you all!!!

Without further babbling, here’s some fun from this last week….

Hello cutie pattootie. I could seriously take her home.

okay seriously, the parents of these two beauties are gonna be in TROUBLE when they get older.

Just sayin. 😉

two kids looking/smiling/and in a perfect setting equals IMPOSSIBLE

except for these two.

Gorgeous AND well behaved.

Perfect.

um, it’s seriously not fair to be this amazing looking and nine months pregnant.

Of course, you should see her gorgeous wedding photos…

Now one year after their wedding, they’re expecting baby #1.

and it’s a BOY!!!

okay, one of my most favorite maternity shots EVER

like ever.

totally Anne’s idea, and it’s so cool I wish it were my idea!

okay, this is a favorite too.

How perfect are they?!!!!

um, I could keep her too.

Isn’t she the cutest little one year old??

of of my most favorite mom/daughter photos to date.

I love everything about this one.

Hello beautiful sister!!!

(who happens to be my daughter’s best friend!)

I won’t lie, this is my favorite family photo of the week.

Again, love everything about this one!!!

I want this to be me and my kids.

Seriously love this one too!!!

Okay I guess that will be all today. I have more sessions to edit, kids to play with, and sleep would be nice as well!

This little darling baby girl was such a good sleeper!!! She konked out right at the beginning of the session and was absolutely wonderful to work with.

She put up with me putting a cute little tutu and headband on her for her fun girly girl photos. Most babies wouldn’t tolerate such a thing, but she did awesome.

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. S on a beautiful baby girl.

She’s perfect!

FAVORITES!!! (so excited about these!!)

I love the little details of babies

It’s been a busy couple of weeks between seniors, new babies, engagement sessions,  a wedding, and all the other crazy stuff I do. I’m finally caught up on editing, but WAY behind on posting these beautiful life’s moments.

The hubster and I are finally taking a weekend off (no sessions for me, and no work for him). I think it’s been about six months since we’ve had an uneventful, non-working weekend. I’m going to “un-plug” and do crazy things like watch television for hours on end and read for a change.

I have been looking forward to my weekend off for the past month. WHOOT!!!!!!!

SOOOOOO, I’ll be back to my regular blogging schedule come Monday and Tuesday (so keep checking back then!).

For now, here’s a sweet photo of a precious little baby girl from this last week….

This sweet baby was absolute perfection for her session. She was only four days old (and though I didn’t photograph her mama, she looked AMAZING for just having a baby).

Speaking of baby girls, I just found out I’m getting a NIECE!!!!!!!!!! Yup, had to throw that one out there since I’m soooooo excited. My big brother (by 18 months) and his wife are expecting their first baby and just found out yesterday that “there are no boy parts!” Yay for fun frilly things and me getting off the hook for having another one. Of course hubby said “but it’s not OURS!” (he wants another baby girl so bad but I’m a little too busy with kiddos as it is). I won’t lie, he’s wearing me down. He’s now cooking and doing all the dishes… hard to resist such an awesome hubster. 😛

Okay, back to this baby….. SUPER CUTE, perfect, love love love love newborn sessions.

whew.

On to the photos….

check out those chubby cheeks.

irresistable!!

okay I’ll admit. I’m a wee bit obsessed with this fur. Seriously AMAZING for photos.

her mama bought this one big for the wall.

love me some baby feet!

I want to pinch her cheeks!

LOVE!!!!!!

fun new angle!

I likey!

This gorgeous mama-to-be and her hubby are expecting their first child in a few weeks. I got the opportunity to photograph them out at the beach on the Columbia river at one of my favorite locations. It was perfect!!

I can’t wait to meet their new arrival!!!!!!

LOVE!!

hello beautiful couple!

hello little baby in there!

my favorite!!
