I'm a lucky girl...

...and these two would be the reason... aren't they drop-dead gorgeous?? I know that I said I hate to do sneak peeks but this one is for a good reason. There will absolutely be more!!

He's all mine...

...and he's a babe!!

I just recently purchased these new cloth diapers made by Gro Baby (yup, I am a cloth diapering mama!!) And I just saw on Facebook today that if you take a pic of your baby in a Gro Baby dipe and post it on their wall that you can be entered to win a free diaper. So naturally I grabbed my sweet boy and started clicking away. Cross your fingers that I win!!

He's a clown and I love it!!

This is pretty much how most of my photo shoots end with my children. He has gotten pretty dramatic lately it seems. And I thought he was going to be my mellow child. Ha! :)

These Two...

Yesterday I had the opportunity to hang out with a very talented photographer named Ashley {jada love photography}.

We shared ideas and techniques and had a grand 'ol time getting to know each other. These two boys are her nephews and, yes, they are twins. I love photographing twins because they're so interesting. These two had me confused the whole time on who was who. It didn't help that they were wearing the exact same outfit... but so cute, nonetheless!

These first four shots were taken by Ashley and edited by me. Her style is a lot more angled than mine which I've decided that I need to add that into my photography vocabulary... makes for some very interesting pictures.

Check out how their heads are leaning exactly the same. Not planned. Twins just do that sort of thing! :)

And these last shots were taken by me and edited by me. Crazy how much taller the one is over the other, huh? Every time someone mentioned it the boys would respond by saying, "he was born a minute before me." (meaning the taller one.) So funny!

I love the turquoise with the lime green. So fun!

Most of the time we just let the boys do their thing. And those were some of my favorite shots. They did so good! And I really had such a fun time hanging out with you, Ashley. I'm actually really sad that you live so far away because I'd say let's do it more often. I hope you learned a lot!

For Jane...

I call this girl, "See Jane Run." (my husband came up with the name... don't ask) She's such a sweetheart and I haven't seen her in over a year it seems. I was dying at her little boy. He is so, so, so smart! Saying everything his mommy and daddy asked him to and with the cutest little miniature voice. I just couldn't get over when he said, "I love you, Jayme." And gave me a hug. Who wouldn't love doing what I do when you get to witness such fun moments with little kids and families.



I don't necessarily love doing "sneak peeks" because it's my goal to post my favorites from the whole session when it's complete but because you've been so patient, Jane, this one's for you. ;)

Just Playing...

Tonight I went location searching with my sister in law and mother in law. Once we got here I pulled out my camera to take pictures of my sister in law and she said, "no, let me take pictures of you this time." I was actually quite shocked that she was so willing to take on my camera. I showed her a couple settings and this is what she came up with...

yeah, I'm pretty proud...

I'm also very excited to use this location again. We met some really friendly guys who were so nice to let us roam around their property and play.

Angie + Christian

I had so much fun with these two. We pretty much shot all night and I'm glad we did!!

This hand behind the neck shot is one of my favorites. I think Christian thought I was crazy trying to make him do this pose. We had him do it a couple times and then he made this face down below as he did it and it was perfect! I was so excited and immediately showed him after and he didn't really seem too impressed. (I think he thought it was more weird than anything.) I still love it just the same, though, and actually made him do it again... you'll see it again in this post. :)

I love when the wind blows right at the right moment. Saaaweet! :)

Oh... there's that arm again! Ha! He's such a good sport!

This one is a winner! I love everything about it.

Don't ask me why they're in a cage... it was there and I wanted to use it... so I did.

And I'm spent... goodnight!

Meet Mack...

My first baby boy photo shoot! Makes me wish I was doing this when I had my little boy. I couldn't be happier with how these turned out... I mean, just look at this face!

Perfect opportunity to use the beanie... absolutely love it!

I love his mama's ring...

Such a beautiful mama too.

I have to admit that I am so behind on blogging. It has been a busy summer... photo shoots and all.

There will be more... lots more... I just don't know when! :(

{B} Family Pics

I'm pretty much going to let the pictures do the talking. I had a lot of favorites from these guys. What a simply gorgeous family!

Her grandma made her dress... if I had one, I would be showing it off too!

Both of these girls are such little sweeties.

Had to post it in b&w too. Baby girl was too tired to continue. I don't blame her. Getting your pictures taken can be rough.
