little Julia...

So, one of my clients stopped by to pick up some images she ordered from a session we did this past summer. While sharing the photographs with Julia's mom, they all brought smiles to us when we recalled the actual session with little miss julia. She started inside, but in typical 2 year old fashion, she just wanted to stay outside and play.....who could blame her? I just followed her around, played peek a boo behind trees, ran barefoot with her, and when her Daddy showed up, she giggled and ran straight to his open arms! Which, by the way, created a very cute Christmas gift...to constantly be reminded of how wonderful those hugs can be!! And, even though summer seems far off...it doesn't seem like June was so long ago when we photographed her playing! The days are just a flyin, and with the craziness of the holidays about to take over...be sure to keep those hugs coming!!!!

they're back, plus one!!

I have had so much fun watching this young little family grow up! They have come to me for 4 years in a row, and this time, the girls had a baby brother in tow! Although not able to stand by himself yet, when I see Ryan and his sisters, Alyssa and Madison next summer, I'm sure he'll be holding his own with no problem at all! GREAT to see everyone again!

fall, family time!

Been so busy photographing fall sessions, and trying to get everyone in before all the leaves were completely gone, I kind of forgot about my poor little blog. So, in paying a bit more attention to this, just had to share one of my favorite young families that came to me again this fall for some fun, casual, outside "together" pictures. Little Karson, just a bit over 2 years old, was mostly curious about everything other than the lense of my camera. Which was just fine....this is how 2 year olds are suppposed to be! Plus, it allowed for some everyday fun moments for all, while Kylie sure had fun drenching her little brother in a downpour of leaves!

sweet little Gwen...
