practically perfect in every way…

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….

Miss E was simply perfect today. I normally don’t post blog previews right away, but this newborn was pure bliss. I couldn’t help but share. Not only was she the most well-behaved newborn, she did “the pose” that I’ve been wanting to do with a newborn for months.

Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails…

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 little precious thing is only two and a half weeks old. She’s absolutely perfect! If her mom and dad weren’t so attached, I might have just taken her home with me. She hardly fussed and was perfectly content letting me photograph her. We had a really great session and I got lots of great photos. Thanks so much for letting me do miss “B”s photos!

Congrats to mom and dad for your newest addition!

I hope you enjoy your preview…

an outtake, but I couldn’t resist showing this….

Baby it’s cold outside – The R Family

I met the R family out in Kelso for a fun (and REALLY cold) family portrait session. They are old family friends and Mrs. R is quite the photographer herself. We have traveled the world together as our husbands were both in the Army together. We were stationed in South Korea at the same time as well as in Hawaii. My middle son (mr. I) is 10 days older than her oldest daughter Miss N. My tiniest son (mr. D) is 8 days older than her Miss K. How weird is that?!!!

We’ve already decided it’s going to be a pre-arranged marriage for both of them since we already like the in-laws. Mr. I kept talking about Miss N, so we think they might decide to get married on their own anyway. Wishful thinking, right?!!

Anyway, they were adorable and quite the troopers when the temperature was only 20 degrees outside. Thank goodness for hot chocolate bribes

Little Miss Brooklyn…

This little girl was such a doll!!! I photographed her parents wedding this last year. It’s amazing how time flies by so quickly. They are such a beautiful couple and it shows with their gorgeous daughter. I did an in-home session with this little gal. She was quite expressive for only being three months. After we thought we’d finished her session, she fell asleep on her mama. Normally I only get sleeping shots with tiny newborns, but she was more than cooperative for us.

It always seems to work that way.. just when I think I’m done with a session, THAT is when I get the best photographs. Of all the different things I do with photography, I think babies and kids are my favorite to photograph. It’s their sweet innocence that gets me every time….
