I came across this while editing today…I absolutely adore the look Miss H has as she sees her big brother approach…so cute!

I finally had my session with the {window to the soul} winner and his adorable little sister!  Meet Mister L, 18 months of pure adorable boy!  Um, pretty obvious why this kiddo was the winner - check out those eyes!  We had a lot of fun playing today, chasing butterflies, and watching the water - Mister L *loves* the water!  And Miss H…she was along for the ride, and a total trooper!  We got some cute pictures of her as well!

Thanks mom and cookie for helping me wrangle the kiddos…it was a lot of fun for me! I hope they both sleep amazingly well for you tonight!

I had a great session this afternoon, little Miss M was perfect!  I think she may have set a record for the fastest newborn session to date!  We got sleepy pictures and a look at her gorgeous eyes…what fun!  Thanks to mom and dad for sharing her with me!  I cannot wait to start proofing your session!

Here’s a little sneak peek for you to share with the family…

Remember Miss A?!?  The precious doll I photographed back in June during the babybliss event was back for a 4-mo session!  Her eyes are still an blue and she is happy as can be!  Here’s little sneak peek for mom to share, since dad had to work today!

I had such an amazing session this evening!  Mom was up for everything, and with an amazing pregnant body she made my job easy!  I can’t wait to meet your little one in a few weeks!

Remember Mister A - it has been a year since I last photographed this handsome boy!  He was back today for his two year session…I cannot believe he is two!  We had a lot of fun exploring the train station…I love boys!

Here’s a sneak peek for mom and grandma…good luck tomorrow guys!

I absolutely love when a family gets out of the car dressed exactly how I would have dressed them!  Meet Miss A, nearly 7, and totally full of spunk!  And her little sister Miss L, who will be one tomorrow!  Could they be any cuter?!?!  This family walked all over during the session - the humidity was killer - but their smiles didn’t fade!  fabulous session, with an amazing family!

Enjoy Miss L’s birthday weekend with the extended family!

Mister B was such a trooper this morning!  Just one week before school starts and he not only got up really early for his session, but he also braved the rain!  Awesome.  Mister B was the runner-up in the {eyes} contest…you should see this kids amazing green eyes close up - holy moly they rock!

Mister B, here is a little sneak peek for you…can’t wait to see you again in September!  Hope the first day of first grade is awesome!

Meet brothers C and E…both adorable and not too sure about the camera at 8 this morning.  But aren’t they such the models?!?!  Just a little sneak peek for mom!

Stay tuned to the blog, there are still SIX more shots this week…wait until you see the amazing stuff to come!
