That’s what boys are made of….

Mr. J was a delight to photograph. I got the pleasure of photographing him last week. These are the sweetest moments and they pass all too quickly. It was just a year ago that my little guy was born. I’m not ready to have another, so I’m thankful that lately I’ve been getting to borrow sweet little babies so I can photograph them. They are just too precious. I think I’d have a dozen if it weren’t for the whole laundry thing…

I also did a few photos of Mr. J’s big sister while Mr. J was eating. She was dressed in her princess attire and I don’t think I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing such a beautiful princess. She totally stole my heart.

Thanks B family for allowing me to photograph your beautiful kids. I hope you enjoy your preview!

This last Christmas season was extremely busy and I got so caught up with work that I didn’t take much time to do photography just for ME. So a couple of weeks ago I borrowed my favorite model and took her out for a fun session. I let her do her thing, which includes her goofy faces and her being a nut case. No idea where she gets that from… 😉

I had some plans going into it, but once we started having fun, my plans went out the window and I got to photograph just for fun. She and I had a blast and I felt like a little girl all over again. We chased each other through the fields and I kept teasing her and calling her “miss sassy pants.” She would laugh a great big belly laugh and then strike another “sassy pants” pose.

okay not the cutest face, but I couldn’t resist the colors here… sigh… I have been working on backlit stuff for awhile now and it’s just amazing what the sun can do!

These handsome young men were a kick in the pants. They were little charmers and had no problems smiling for me. I don’t even think they noticed I was there since they were having so much fun. The beach is a perfect spot for kid’s photos. They get to throw sticks in the water and chase each other. They get to dig in the sand and get all dirty. Moments like these are perfect and I get to be the lucky one that gets to capture them.

Thanks W boys for letting me hang out and capture your day!

I hope you enjoy your preview…

I met up with my sister in law for a play date at the beach with our kiddos (and our cameras in tow of course). K was in school, so it was just me and the boys.  I wanted to get some pics of Mr. D for his first birthday. Course he was more interested in the sand than smiling at mom, but he had fun. Mr. I was in heaven with all the sticks to throw. It’s not often he gets to throw things and not get in trouble for it.

The flooding caused the entire  beach layout to change with all the extra driftwood. It was calm and clear and a perfect day.

Miss K came running out of school today exclaiming “you’ll NEVER guess what happened to me at school today!!!!” I stood there thinking it must have been really amazing for her to be so excited. She went on to explain that she’d been selected to be student of the week. I asked her how she got that priviledge and she said “I just thought that I wanted it and thought really hard and all of a sudden they picked me!”

She gets to write a story about herself and bring a show and tell item. A huge deal nowadays because “ONLY students of the week get to do show and tell” she explained to me. She’s bringing her new “eyeclops” magnifying glass she got for Christmas. It magnifies things 400 times and is “really cool” as she puts it.  I had to laugh at my little girl because on her about me page she put that her favorite book was the National Geographic magazine. I think we have a future scientist on our hands.

I love this little girl more than words could ever explain. She’s way beyond her years….
