The other night, while E ran around like a crazy kid and my littlest guy screamed (and I mean screamed!), I chased sweet Cleary all around the yard capturing his one year images.

You’ll remember Cleary from this post or this one, he was just a little guy then…and you’ll also remember how incredibly important this family is to me. It is quite the honor to be asked to document his little life. We are so excited for what is to come for C. I can’t wait to watch him grow.

Remember this sweet family? Well their little bit of pink has arrived! 6 pounds of sweet little girl, delicate features and the most doting family ever!

A big thanks to local photographer Sarah Dorn for your help tonight!

{peace out}

I know…I know…it is only July! But these mini sessions are almost completely filled already! If you are interested in securing your family’s spot, all you need to do is pay a $100 retainer (applied to the total package price) and select your session date and time.

The details:

*Each session yields 10-12 finished images.

*To secure your spot all you need to do is pay a $100 booking fee (which is credited toward the price of your package)

*The final balance of your package is due after you see your pictures (you must commit to buy at least the smallest package).

*After booking your spot, you’ll receive an email with what to wear information specific to the location you selected, a session guide, and a link to check out this year’s card options so you can pick your card before your session if you wish (think coordinating your outfits with the card you love most!).

Ready to book? Email me back with the date (information found on the images above) and the top two times (see below) you’d like and I’ll get you down on the calendar!

Walker is one. That’s right, yet another baby planner is completing their first year with MZP! I can hardly believe it!

It was so fun capturing Walker at his house and then the following week at the Arboretum, which of course, is gorgeous this time of year! He’s moving everywhere, and as busy a boy as they come – so great!!

{do your part} – earth day 2010 – GIVEAWAY

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:54:44 +0000

As I mentioned yesterday, in honor of the 40th Earth Day they’ll be several giveaways this week – all things my family loves, uses, and helps us do our part.

I am so excited to offer a Goodbyn lunchbox of your choice ($24.95 value) in today’s contest! In my previous life, I was a school teacher, and you wouldn’t believe the amount of waste a single class can generate at lunch time! So when E was born this was one of the first things I bought, lol. It is perfect for outings at the park, trips to the museum, anywhere that you are going to take snacks or lunch. Each compartment holds perfect little portions, and it is the easiest clean up! If you’ve got a little one they’ll love decorating with stickers that are provided for their boxes, and the big kid colors are grown up enough that even the most finicky preteen/teen will have no problem carrying one to school.

Two sessions were canceled this week because of the cold temps, but that’s okay! Because yesterday brought this Yankee a foot a snow!! I couldn’t believe it as the snow kept falling yesterday…and this morning everything was just magical.

E and I spent hours outside yesterday, enjoying the cold and the flakes! I’m so excited he got to spend some time knee deep in the white stuff! He had a blast!
