Happy Mother's Day!!
This is my second mother's day and I am so blessed to call myself a Mom. This morning I was greeted with asking Elijah for a kiss and he smiled and ran the other way. Gotta love him....lol! Now Cory and Elijah are in the kitchen making me breakfast. Life is good! My brand new porch furniture is put together and I plan a day of nothing. I know I should take a picture of my furniture but my plan is to leave the camera in bag. :)
Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's, aunts, friends, and anyone else who is mom in any form! I spent 5 long Mother's Days thinking I would never be a mother so I tear up when I think of holding my sweet boy (and feel my sweet girl kick me!).
We changed our website over! It was suppose to take 3 days but we were surprised it took 8 hours!! We were a little taken by surprise. But check it out! Tell me what you think! I think the portraits look so crisp and I love that all the portraits are LARGER! We are in the process of emailing our clients with the new passwords to view the sessions that have not ordered.
This week was full of clients including a senior and a family with a 3 month old! Very different sessions but I loved them both!

1 year portraits!





This little princess is the baby of 4 brothers and sisters! Mom wanted to have some special portraits of just her to celebrate her first birthday. She seemed to really enjoy the attention. She was so much fun and what a beauty!! The day was perfect at the Botanical Gardens and the roses where in a full bloom so the smell of flowers filled the air!!
Mom left with promises for a session this summer with the entire family. I can't wait to meet the rest of this beautiful family!

Running behind AGAIN!!
I know all of the parents reading the blog understand.... I seem to always be behind! Elijah is reaching an "interesting" stage. Perhaps it is the terrible twos early... but nonetheless, my blogging has become sloppy again. It is on my list every day to share with you the beautiful families I have met in the last few weeks but often it is at the end of the list and I am passed out asleep before the end of my list is complete!
My little guy is talking like crazy lately and he is making us so proud. Every day he loses a little baby and becomes more of a big boy. It is a constant struggle with me wanting him to do the next thing but also wanting him to stay a baby. I know others must understand. Baby-to-be Sarah is a kicker! She is much more active than her big brother. I remember Elijah would stop moving anytime I or anyone would touch my stomach but not Sarah. She seems to have no problem performing. Maybe I have a ballerina????
Ok, next post... some portraits!!

Strawberries!
Our family took a trip to Locust Fork to pick strawberries last Friday. I have to say it was the most fun I have had in months. Elijah "got" what this was all about. I fully expected to be chasing him around trying to pick a few strawberries but no, Elijah just knew what to do. Maybe he will be a farmer? He is already obsessed with tractors! Warning here are lots of pictures, I wanted to give you an idea of a fun day for us! Here is the strawberry story...
2 weeks old!!!







This beautiful mom is in my mom's group I meet with every week. I first met her when she was already very pregnant. We started talking about our shared love for Indian food and the fact we are pregnant at the same time. I learned her husband was overseas and he was hoping to be home for the delivery. Well, this sweet little girl came early and Dad didn't make it! She was the tiniest baby I have ever seen. When I heard that Dad was only going to be home for a few weeks I told her I HAD to take some portraits of them as a family while he is here. I am so blessed to be able to to capture this sweet family as they start out.
Baby girl slept almost the entire session and rested peacefully in Dad and Mom's arms. That is the way it should be! Thanks you guys for allowing me to serve you in this way!

A mother's day session...







Last week I had a session two daughters and their beautiful mother. We had planned a session at the Botanical Gardens but due to the free day at the zoo, this session was at their home. I am in love with the spiral staircase made of stone, BEAUTIFUL. It was almost as beautiful as these girls! I have had so many sessions with little ones lately that I had a great time with teenagers.
Me, in front of the camera!?!









Cory and I needed to get portraits of each other for our new website (coming in the next few weeks!). We headed down to Morris Avenue for a session with each other. In the last month, our little girl-to-be has really "popped" out of my belly so we did a few maternity while we were there. It was so weird to be on the other side of the camera but fun at the same time. Cory is a talented photographer so I knew he would get some great images. I am very happy with the results!
Sweet sisters in handmade dresses!








This session featured two sisters for the younger sister's 3rd birthday. I was especially excited about this session because the beautiful dress were handmade by their grandmother. I wish I could sew, I am so amazed by the talent showed in these two dresses.
One funny thing from our session, the girls were told if the session went well, they would have a trip to the Home Depot for new flowers. This made the girls very excited and I couldn't help but smile! This is the first time I heard of a bribe to Home Depot!
