Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

What a great day it is...

I think this year is a little different than most years. This year, I am celebrating the fact that I am continuing to having two awesome mom's in my life. I'm so grateful to have two of the most beautiful ladies in my life, showing me an example of what mom's should be like.

But this year, I'm celebrating the fact that here in a few months, I'm going to be one of those ladies, hoping to earn that AWESOME title one day. We'll see how well I do with that part, but I'm doing pretty good with all the "Pre-Mom" stuff... so I would think I'm earning my badge of AWESOMENESS as we speak. Right, big guy???



Haha! Let's hope he doesn't come out looking like that, but that's the visual you get for a few more months... well that's how big he supposedly is, I'm thinking he's twice that size by the way I feel him move! Haha!

But I hope everyone has a wonderful day and one that they take the time to soak in all the goodness!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Another Beautiful Day!!!

I'm in love with the last couple days and how beautiful they have been.

I'm sure EVERYONE can agree that this weather is too good to be true. But it is May now, and we should start expecting a lot more of this...

Aaaaa... so great!

It's been a busy week and I have not been able to enjoy much of the outside because I've been trying to get this last weekend's wedding done, but here is a sneak peek of how gorgeous they had it...



So excited to share the rest with you all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!!!

Look at this face...



Is he not the cutest little boy you've ever seen???

I think so... and today that cute little boy turns another year older and although he looks similar to that cute little boy face, he is much older today. Let's just say a good 20+ years older!

I'm so excited for today, as I look forward for this day every year, because we get to celebrate the day the love of my life decided to come into this world! A good 9lbs. into this world I should add... that little detail would not even phase me years before this year, but seeing how we are going to be having a little boy of our own come a few months... that little detail is quite a big detail (to me anyways). Haha!

Why did you have to be so big??? Why? Why? Why?????

Just kidding!

I still love you and I'm so grateful to be able to share a piece of this life with you... You are the most amazing person I have ever met and I honestly love you more and more each and every year that passes!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!!!! I hope today is filled with lots and lots of love... because you deserve it!

XOXOXO!!!

Max :: 6 months

1/2 of a year... 6 months... 2 sets of 3 months...

Ok I really can't do math, so I'm just going to stop there... Ha! It all equals the same thing. But to a baby, there is so much that happens in those months.

Last time I saw Max was 3 months ago, when he was 3 months old. He was so stinkin' sweet and cute, and although he was just a tad fussy, he had his reasons. However, this time around he was even MORE sweet and cute, and no fuss in him whatsoever! He has gotten so smiley, and literally smiles on command, or whenever they sing to him, which is so sweet! He seriously LOVES when he gets sung to... I was amazed by all the things they were doing to get him to smile, then once those words came out of their mouth in a song like tune... it was MAGIC! Adorable!!!!

I can't wait to see him 3 months from now, even cuter and sweeter than ever!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session...

ADORABLE!!!



All smiles...



I love this face he's making... Ha!



Awww...



Haha...



Look at those gorgeous blue eyes...





LOVE IT!!!

Baby Cooper :: Newborn

Isn't it funny when you see a little newborn baby, and they have such a sweet face, adorable little fingers and toes, an innocent persona, features that resemble both mom and dad, yet there is one strong feature that neither parents have?

Say for example, a full head of red, spiky hair?

VERY cute, yet a bit strange! Ha!

Well that is exactly what Baby Cooper was born with. He was born teeny, tiny with a full head of red, spiky hair. How cute is that? He definitely looks like his mom and dad, but neither one of them has a full head of red hair, nor were they born with a full head of red hair. Haha!

I was so excited to meet this little guy, well because who wouldn't want to meet a little newborn, right? But not only was he blessed with lots of hair, but he also has such fun facial expressions. It's fun to see little newborns pucker their lips, suck on their hands, but this little guy was working the camera like he came out of the womb to do so. I had taken so many photos because his face kept changing over and over. He even gave some smiles, which was SUPER cute! I wonder if he will be very expressive when he gets older? Hmm... I guess we will have to see!

Congratulations you guys... we are so excited to watch this little guy grow up!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session...

Adorable!!!



Look at that little face...



Haha... such a happy baby!



Hey now... Haha!



Aww...



PRECIOUS!!!



Love it!!!



Daddy plays guitar... wonder if he'll be doing that as well?



Sooo cute...

Happy Easter Weekend!!!

What a great Easter weekend it was... amazing weather, amazing company, amazing celebrations, amazing all around!!!

Cannot complain one bit!

I even got a surprise guest appear at our doorstep. Friday, as Todd and I were leaving church, I got a surprise text from one of my closest and dearest friends, Abbey. She said she was heading my way... and I was first in awe and second extremely excited because I have not seen her in months! We rushed home and soon enough she was knocking at our door. I can't tell you how happy I was to see her. What a great way to start the weekend!



The weather was perfect and we were able to hang out a bit before she had to head back to the home front of Ohio, before she leaves for the big ol' country of Russia. I think this girl has way more stamps in her passport than any other person I know.

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend, one that was full of love, life, and sunshine!

Happy Monday!

Baby Colin :: Newborn

Our Final Contest is finally done... What a running that was and a LOT of fun, I should add!

The winner was the lovely Nathan & Alexa...



Congratulations you guys and to all three contest winners! I'm excited for next years already!

Speaking of excited... it doesn't take much to get me that way... but I was so excited to have been having the opportunity to take some photographs of some newborn baby BOYS lately, especially since we will be having one coming in somewhere around 4 months or so... CRAZY!!!

One of those sweet little boys was baby Colin. What a small and precious little guy he is! I could not tell you how adorable this little guy is. He has such a sweet face and soft skin! Adorable!

Congratulations you guys... I'm so excited to watch him get bigger and bigger!!!

Here are a few of my favorites...

LOVE this... precious!



Umm... can we just say "ADORABLE!!!"



He was pretty comfy here... can't you tell??? Haha!



Haha...



I think he really enjoyed sucking on his arm...





His daddy plays the guitar, but I think he might be a singer...
