Sweet Peas...

Their mom opened the door with a huge smile and gracious warmth. Little bittie came up to me like she'd known me forever. I gave her a big hug and she gave me an even bigger smile. Big sis was a little more cautious, then realized sometime not long ago, she knew me somehow. She came over and gave me a sweet hug. The first time I'd met them, they were beyond excited. This time around was old hat for them.


Big sister took the lead like she'd been in front of the camera her entire life and just played it cool and casual.


Little bittie, I think, was just happy to have me be there.


Yes, I think sunshine just follows her around everywhere!
Thank you for spending your morning with me.

Two Little Ladies Lovely in Pink

I bumped into them at Barnes & Nobles one morning and BAM! here are their photos, yes!, it quite literally happened like that: BAM! ... I took their photos last year and they invited me back to my delight. Enjoy the sneakie peekie's!


Little wee one...


and her big sister...


and of course, the beautiful mama...

Lindsey & Will

Lindsey always has a smile on her face and is always up for a laugh. My son adores her to the moon. "Mommy, I miss Ms. Winsey" he says with a sad face and chubby cheeks. She brightens up when she sees my little guy and the exchange is mutual. I know that the little girl she's got in her tummy will brighten up her day every day! One thing I know for sure, this little cutie expected in early August will have the gift of height among many other things. It's the first thing I noticed about Will- his height first and then immediately thereafter how much in love with Lindsey he is. "Are you excited?," I asked him. "I'm soo excited, that's my baby in there," as he rubbed her belly. So sweet. I can't wait to meet her Lindsey!

Baby on board!

Lindsey has always been a fun-loving, optimistic girl who clearly loves kids. She is sooo excited to be expecting one of her own next month with Will. I'm excited for her and all the exciting changes motherhood will bring to her. Right now, she's at her most radiant (although, she doesn't feel like it, lol). Here's a sneak peek of her maternity, baby on board photo shoot this weekend.


There's that sun flare again, I love when it works with me!




Happy Monday!!

Christine & Jason

I met Christine a few years ago when her oldest and my middle were in pre-kinder together. I knew who she was because I always noticed the hip cute blonde girl that brought in her son. I always admired how cute she always seemed to dress, even at 9 in the am when I could barely get myself put together with sweats and a t-shirt. Ironically, I got to know her more after our kids were out of pre-kinder and all throughout kinder. The occassional coffee get togethers and pre-k mom's nights out is where I got to know a little more about Christine and solidified that she is indeed a hip cute brunette girl.


I met her youngest when he was in utero and it has been fun to watch him grow.


Her hubs, Jason, is a fire-fighter. He's a big guy who is a big marshmallow around his kids. Thanks J for being a hero because ALL fire-fighters are ABSOLUTE HEROES in my book!


One of my favorite images...the little guy and his expression! Love it!


and how the sun catches on Christine's hair and how their arms frame each other perfectly, so lovely!


I'm a sucker for sun flare and the images they create...


Thank you for spending the afternoon with me Christine and Jason...

Toot, toot, yea, beep, beep!

Spent the afternoon with my friend Christine (or should I say Hot Mama-cita) at the firehouse with her men. She's just so hot and cute. The driver's by couldn't help but honk as she crossed the street. Toot, toot, yea, beep, beep. Here's a sneak peek for you.




Gorgeous boys, no?

Saturday, In the park, I think it was the 4th of July...

Actually, it was Sunday, pretty sure the 31st of May. What a gorgeous day! We headed out with a picnic basket full of food, some sunblock and happy smiles. A few hours with the kids, no T.V., no computer just to relax and unwind. It was great to relax and recompose. Darling daughter decided that her boycott of my camera was over. But I know as well as anybody that she can change her mind in an hour, so I was going to take what I could get.


Footloose & fancy free was all over the place...a pixie in flight. I couldn't keep up with her.


Squirt was having a grand ol' time...out of his cage to roam. He loved it.


First 3 weeks on the job, the last 1.5 weeks was a rough week for my guy. He got the work done and got to have some fun in the sun with the pip-squeeks. Very nice!
