B&L

I love doing these guys' portraits!  Their Mama is so good about doing them on a regular basis, and that means the boys know what to do when a camera comes out!  We have lots of fun playing and running!
 

 

 

We took the photos on Baby L's first birthday.  L was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.  In utero and even right after birth the doctors didn't know for sure what his prognosis would be, but lots of scary medical-sounding procedures and terms were in their descriptions.  L had a major surgery right after he was born and since then has been one healthy little boy.  He is definitely a miracle baby!  What a blessing to spend this day--his first birthday--chasing around this smiley, happy, RUNNING!! little man. 

 

 

 

L's mommy wanted a picture of the scar on his chest.  A year ago it took up his entire torso.  Today we had to really work to get it to show up in the light.  So many prayers answered.......   

And he's off!

Ava is 2!

Three for Tea!

This past week I got to do one of the neatest photo sessions I've ever done. These three adorably sweet girls were in town visiting their grandma:

And every year during their visit they plan a tea party together--complete with a dress up station filled with hats, boas, jewelry, and accessories. Everyone chooses their outfit for tea.

Then a formal tea is served--four choices of tea flavors, dainty sandwiches such as butter and cucumber, and of course yummy treats (I forgot the official tea vocabulary for all of these items...). It was so neat! The girls look forward to this every year (and I think their Grandma does, too!).

After tea there were some fun games such as "Ring around the Rosie."
And then I did a little photo shoot of the girls....They are 4, 6, and 8 and I just loved meeting them! They had the funnest personalities and were just a blast to photograph. Such sweet sisters!
And then a couple with Mom and Grandma!
What a fun, fun day! I am already looking forward to next year!!

The B's...oozing with personaliTEE....

A couple weeks ago we fit in a quick, fun family session with this crew while they were in town for a couple of days. Unfortunately (as you can tell from the photos), no one in their family has ANY personality. Ha! I love the fun, laid-back photos we got...
