love light…

These very patient couples have been waiting a full week for their sneak peeks, so unlike me.  After a week of kiddos out of school for three days (teacher development), working on the Champions to Cure Duchenne fundraiser photos, editing sessions and valentine parties and moody teenagers and researching non-toxic flooring options for our house, Teagan’s birthday, planning his party and just the every day stuff that fills my days, I am finally, finally, getting these up.  Thanks for your patience guys!  I love these love light night sessions, love them.  There is something so real, so intimate, so romantic about being downtown after dark, all dressed up and snuggling with your love at each new corner.  It’s a blast […]

Dear Teagan,

I can’t believe you are already 3.  I’m not sure where the time went, but I’m so thankful I got to spend it all with you.  You are special, there is no denying it.  You are our chill little man and daddy and I often joke that we earned you the hard way because Ty and Taryn are not chill or easy in any way, shape or form.  You are along for the ride, go with the flow and happy.  It’s just who you are and I love that about you.  And somehow, in the middle of all this chaos, and two strong willed and uber personality siblings, you have […]

William turned 1

I’m always a little sad when my baby planners have a birthday.  I get so very attached to them and used to seeing them every couple of months.  Williams first year brought so many wonderful memories captured and some of my most favorite work.  His family is filled with love and they most definitely wear it on their sleeves.  I love that.  We had several goals for this session, one to capture William at 12 months old and two, get lots of photos that include his mommy because she’s behind the camera so much at home.  Mission accomplished!  Happy Birthday little guy (yeah, that was in the fall since I’m so far behind in blogging)!

sassy

Last year I dubbed her session as the easiest 2 year old I’d ever photographed.  I was beyond thrilled to get to photograph her again at 3 years old this past November.  And not only was this session easy, I came home still laughing, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much and if I had to choose one, and only one, word to describe this session, it would “sassy”.  Personality overflowing and in the cutest and most charming ways possible.  Miss A was “ON” and I loved every single second of it.  I also loved that her mom really wanted to capture some of Miss A with her loving grandparents.  The grandparent/grandchild relationship is one of my absolute favorite […]

snow day 2011

I heard her happy little footsteps jump into our room this morning and before I even opened my eyes I could see the look on her face.  Pure joy.  A smile hit my face before I opened my eyes, because I just knew.  One of the rare days where she is genuinely happy first thing in the morning, no issues, no complaints, no whines, just happy.  I sat there and soaked it in for a second and then opened my eyes to see pure elation on my sweet girls face.  “It snoooooooowed Momma!  Come see, come look at the trees and ground and Momma, it really really snoooooowed!”  Joy.

Our day was filled […]
