It is completely absurd that I am so far behind in blogging, and part of me just wants to start fresh with my upcoming sessions, but I’ve been so busy with sessions in November that I can’t imagine not sharing some of the fun! So, I’ll do it in bits…in parts that are easier to swallow (and to post!).

First up…Philadelphia…

I can’t believe Grace and Ava are THREE! I’ve been lucky to be able to capture them since their first birthday, and it is so fun watching them grow! Mom did a great job with outfits and the morning light was absolutely perfect! These girls totally know how to work a camera…and made me work for it this morning. But I love them, and I know they loved scoring some donuts on the way to school!

She has just turned two, and he four months.

She was one of my first baby planners, and he’s one of my newest.

There was pretty morning light, and amazingly decorated bedrooms.

It was the perfect welcome back from maternity leave.

(super size sneak peek ahead…)

I had the pleasure of meeting with Resha and her husband on Saturday morning to celebrate the upcoming arrival of their fourth child, a second boy. He’ll be here in just a few short weeks (one week before I am set to deliver my second boy), and Resha couldn’t be more excited! She’s glowing from the pregnancy, and she glowed when she spoke of her children at home…three different personalities, but three amazing hearts! It sounds like there is a lot to be thankful for in her family…and this little guy will be welcomed with a lot of love!

Two of my first baby planners have recently turned two…and yesterday I got to meet with both of them to capture this fun time!

Gavin and I explored the Botanical Gardens. He loved the squirrels more than anything, with the water fountains a close runner up! And he was in such a sweet mood and totally indulged me! I can’t believe how much he’s grown in the last year, and how much he looks like his daddy now!

Then I headed over to the Stockyards to see Addi and her mommy! She is spunky as ever, and loved being able to run barefoot through the Stockyard Station! We made a special trip to the candy store to grab a lollipop, and Addi scored two! We were celebrating some very special news…somebody is going to be a big sister!!

and the shot I know her Daddy (who is away serving our country) will love…

Another gorgeous morning at the Arboretum…four gorgeous families captured! Just had to share two little ones from today…

Miss McKenna has never had her own session, she’s always shared the spotlight with her sweet brother Riley (a recent babyplan graduate). Today was her day to shine…

And then there’s Harper. She was my spunky one today, making sure I remembered she was there as I tried to capture her twin brother and big sister too! Mom and Dad were troopers…chasing kids should really be an Olympic sport.

You first met Miss E early this spring…she was three months old and had these amazing blue eyes. Well today she was back for her 1 year session, she’s cuter than ever, and those blue eyes are to die for!

Her parents came out to Deep Ellum this morning for a perfectly overcast sky…and Miss E was ready! What fun we had watching her reactions to dad’s silly sounds and the hustle and bustle on the street. Thanks for coming out…it was great to see you all again!

I’m a day late in blogging these images…SO to make up for it, this is a big sneak peek!!

I met these brothers for an early morning session in Fort Worth. Big brother is in town visting for a month from England, and his little brother is totally head over heels for him…and I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual! It was so fun to be able to capture their interactions! Thanks for coming out so early and braving the heat – your boys are adorable!!

My first session in Baltimore took place last Sunday morning in Fell’s Point with an awesome family that was referred by one of my baby planners here in Fort Worth. Miss Rylee’s mom and dad were married by the dad in this set of photos…awesome! This family drove into Baltimore a day early and spent the night in a loud hotel full of teenage boys just to meet me bright and early for a session using some of the best light of the day! The girls were willing to work…for Dunkin’ Donuts munchkins, and were as adorable as ever!

I know mom has been waiting my entire vacation for a little sneak peek…here’s the first few I chose to process from your files. We got some fantastic stuff Anne!

don’t worry, I got tons of her smiling too, but I just loved how I caught her while she was “flying” off the ground…

I was supposed to meet J&L 10 days ago for a sunset session….but we had some crazy, tornado-warning kind of storms roll through that night. Needless to say, we rescheduled. This morning there was a breeze, some pretty fantastic cloud cover, and two of cutest kids I’ve ever seen – who lucky for me, were in great moods! Mom challenged me with getting smiles from the two of them…I fully expected to have to work at it, but I was hard pressed to find a shot without a smile as I went through the files!

This session’s images will soon be gracing mom’s exam rooms at Women’s Integrated Healthcare. My family has a special place in our hearts for this mom…she delivered my son two and half years ago – and you all know how much I adore my son, lol! I think we got some really fun stuff today, capturing 6 years and 2 years and lots of smiles…
