Pretty.

I photographed these little ladies on beautiful but cold Sunday in March! Poor girls were shivering in their sleeveless dress, but don't they look absolutely darling?!

Mommy & Me Minis- Part Three

Photographing each of these Mommy & Me minis  was such a special experience, but being able to photograph one of my closest friends makes it even more so. I honestly could not pick just one or two pictures from their session to highlight, so since I started this series of posts by previewing an entire session, it seems fitting that I should end the same way!

There is so much to love about this session...

I love that this was the most quiet, relaxing part of their day. 
(And I love, love, love that quilt, don't you?)

I love that mommy designed beautiful, antique looking headbands as she walked out the door. 
(I seriously lack that kind of creativity and spontaneity!)

I love their deep blue eyes!

I love this one's sass and spunk! I really do!

I love this one's sweetness!

Yes, I love all these great girls!

Now could you have possibly picked a favorite or two from that bunch? No way! 

A HUGE thanks to the many mommies and kids who signed up for Mommy & Me mini sessions! I had so much fun, and I love, love, loved taking all of your pictures! There were even more families and pictures to highlight, but perhaps I'll save those for next year's promos! This will definitely be an annual event, and I hope to see all of you again!

Mommy & Me Minis- Part Two

I started sorting through pictures to blog and post, oh, about three hours ago. One, I cannot believe how far behind I am in blogging sessions. Two, I cannot believe how many great Mommy & Me pictures I still have to post. I  am having the worst time trying to pick favorites! I love them all! What a wonderful dilemma to have!

So without further ado, I give you part two...

This pretty momma is one of my dearest friends! Love her and her boys! 
Photographing them is always such a joy!

But I love this picture because it's real...and so cute... :)

One more Mommy & Me post coming soon, I promise!

Mommy & Me Minis- Part One

Hosting Mommy & Me mini sessions these past two weeks reminded me why I became a photographer in the first place. I have love, love, loved taking pictures of mommies and their little ones! The hugs, the kisses, the joy, the love, the memories...oh, I'm tearing up already! Every session was precious and unique. I honestly want to post every. single. picture. But then this would be a ten part series of posts, and that seems somewhat unpractical. So I'll try to limit it to my favorites!

I loved this family! These girls were gorgeous and were brimming over with personality,
especially the littlest!

During their session, I captured what might be one of my favorite sibling pictures EVER...

...followed closely by this one!

These boys were so cute I could barely stand it! I'm going to pay their mother to teach me how to dress my boys! Ties, cowboy boots, Converse- could they be any more stylish?!?

And, oh, this baby! He was so sweet that I wanted to eat him up!

Look how tiny he is!

And this is just a super small sampling of how wonderful these sessions were! More to come soon!

PS- If you have not heard the story of everything that happened to me personally the day of these photo shoots, ask me the next time you see me! Hilarious...in hindsight, that is!

Happy Mother's Day!

The two little people who made me a mother!
