When I made the transition from sharing a page for my pictures and my cakes to separating them I had planned to have this page up and running with all my favorite shoots before I made it "live". I was letting this stress me out too much, and this is supposed to be fun, so I decided to post it and would get to transferring old images when I got to it! So here we are lol!

This handsome little man is my brother aka brudder bear/ stink. He has more spunk and personality in his pinky finger then most people I know have in their entire body (because spunk is contained in body parts of course!). He is big into all things baseball right now so we had a lot of fun with this shoot! What you can't see is during this shoot I had my 7 month old strapped to my back, while my 3 year old ran around like the wild woman that she is as we were taking these pictures. Needless to say it was a very fast (read 15 minuites) shoot before we headed over to the playground next to the baseball field to burn some energy! Never a dull moment.  Incidentally at the park I captured one of my all time favorite candid pictures of him and my daughter on the tire swing. He moves fast (seriously 24/7) and is super silly and bouncy so to to have frozen a real genuine smile of his makes my heart happy! He turned 10 a little while ago and it still blows my mind! Can't wait for him to be out of school for the summer so I can get some more sibling time in!

Happy First Birthday Baby C!!

Ahh this photography thing is such a learning process lol! Originally I went to do a cake smash photo shoot for this sweet baby lady at her house. However I am learning indoor light is not my friend at this stage in the game. Those pictures will stay locked away on my computer ;) With more practice and the proper equipment I hope to one day master it- but for now - I'm officially sticking to outdoor light! So after we made a mess with some cake we headed to the beach and took a few pictures there! Much better ;)

 These girls are fierce and fun and just all around lovely! And of course HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY to this brown eyed beauty!! (How did this year pass by so fast?!?)

Baby H

 Meet  baby H! Oh my goodness is she sweet! She is so alert and totally loves her momma. H is the second miracle baby I've been lucky to photograph, and she is amazing! She was born at 28 weeks weighing 3pounds 2oz. She's now a little over 3 months (or 1 week adjusted) and she is so alert! This little lady blew me away with how well she is doing! And her big brother is totally smitten. At one point baby sis started to fuss and big brother ran in all protective to check on her. Melted my heart!
