…for many mini holiday sessions!
Saturday was perfect weather for taking photos… We had beautiful skies, a lovely breeze, and smiling families eager to get their mugs on film! I can’t believe I almost cancelled all the sessions just because the day started off a bit rainy and glum. I love it when the weather surprises me!
I love how sweet this next picture is… Incredibly adorable.

This little man taught me a lot during our time together exploring his great grandma’s home out in the country… He taught me about cows, birds, old barns, where to step to avoid cow poo, and most importantly how to act completely goofy to keep the attention of a mischievous little, adorable boy! (Keep in mind… I have three girls. No boys.)
And as if that wasn’t enough for me to be excited about… It was drawn to my attention that this gorgeous hunk of land has been in their family since the 1880s and let me tell you: It was full of surprises!
But, moving back to my experience with the little guy… He was seriously so full of life and completely animated, which is always a treat to photograph!
There was something interesting literally around every corner of this little oasis in the middle of the pasture. A photographer’s dreamland.

My littlest girl is in love with her new blanket and pillow set… She loves it because of the bright fun colors, because it’s cuddly, and mostly because I made it for her. I originally made it for her to take to Mother’s Day Out, but she wants to take it home with her everyday when she leaves school. It makes me feel good that after considering learning to sew for the past 5 or 6 years, I’ve finally done just that! I’ve been practicing for a while… But, this blanket and pillow is my favorite thing I’ve made so far. Because it was for her.

Hadn’t seen these two adorable little bundles of joy since their newborn session in May… My how they’ve grown and changed!
The chair that saved the day…
Three cousins. One amazing chair. Children who are contained and can’t run off.
That, my friends, is what you call one heck of a chair!
I love this one… Little man being silly with his elephant mask while his sweet little cousin sits there smiling without even glancing at him once.
And lastly, a super sweet moment between mother and daughter… This is what motherhood is all about. Making your child sing with joy and laughter.

… is gorgeous.
I had a fun evening yesterday getting to know this little sweetie and her mom and dad… It took a lot of coaxing, talk of fiction birds & trains, and trailing as she tried to run away from me to get her to peer into my camera, but it was definitely worth it! Just look at that adorable face… So sweet and full of personality! Thanks for being such troopers mom and dad!

Can this image get any sweeter and dreamier? I think not.
More soon, mom and dad… Promise, they are all this sweet. :)
…of this handsome cutie.
Look at these chubby little legs… I could just gobble them up!
This was the perfect, little smile I saw nearly every second of the entire shoot:
