Our new baby girl, Lenna

Here she is! I have been dieing to take pictures of her! She is the absolute best baby. The other 2 kids are so in love with her. I am going to be taking many more so keep checking back!

2 kids, 2 dogs, and 1 huge photographer

This was a first for me, I had never photographed dogs before. I was so excited to give it a try. It was a lot fun because the kids were so excited about Brownie being there. Gina, I hope we got what you had in mind, I think they turned out really cute!

"tiny dancer"

This is my new all time favorite picture of Lainey! I just love everything about it! This is how I will always remember her, I just wish I could freeze this time!

Bubbles

I was so excited when this little girls mom contacted me about doing her pictures again this spring! She didn't change much from last year except that she gained a little more hair, a couple of teeth, and a whole lot of speed!! So, we set down to play some bubbles in the grass. I just love the determination on her face as she tried to pop as many as she could with those tiny hands! Thanks Stone family for letting me capture her again this year!

Happy Easter!

I didn't get to wish everyone a Happy and Blessed Easter because my family was all sick. I hope you all had a great day with family and enjoyed the weather. This is Lainey hunting eggs. She just couldn't stop eating the candy long enough to get more eggs! (Please don't look to close at all the dirt in her fingernails!! It was along day of playing outside with cousins!)

5 Already??

Carter had his 5th birthday today!! I am so excited for him and so sad for me! He is so funny, thoughtful, in love with trains, likes to eat just the peanuts off the top of his ice cream cones, a complete clean freak, wears nothing but crocs and blue jeans, takes care of his little sister, and can't wait to be a big brother again. He is all of these things, but to me he will always be that long-haired little boy that comes running with his arms opened wide calling me, "mommy".

Happy Birthday buddy! We love you so much! Mommy, Daddy, and Lainey

Spring is finally here!

It is so exciting to see everything starting to get green and leaf out! The kids are so happy to be outside all covered in sidewalk chalk. I just love this time or year! If you do too, why not take the kids outside, let them run free, and capture that spirit! This is the perfect time of year for all of your spring portraits. But hurry, I am really ready to have this baby!! I will be scheduling now until the end of April. Then I will pick back up in the fall. The one exception is for newborns. If you are expecting and due during the time that I am on maternity leave, please let me know as soon as possible so we can tentatively plan for it. Please keep in mind the best time for newborns is before they are 2 weeks old. I hope you all have a wonderful spring!!
