spring blossoms

yes...you read that correctly....

spring.  blossoms.

pictures from spring.....

i am that far behind on personal photos....

after a long winter, it gives me a little thrill to see the local apple orchard come alive.....

those brilliant white blossoms begin to bloom....

their fragrance fills the air...

i took advantage two times this spring....

dragged the little boys once while owen was at baseball practice....

and a second time for a mini mother's day photo shoot....

being the anne of green gables lover that i am, i can't help but think of the "white way of delight" every time i set foot in the orchard...

"dear old world, you are very lovely and I am glad to be alive in you."

L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

a summer's eve at the park reserve

so honored to capture this family once again....

i was there to capture their wedding, and since then....have captured two more of their sweet babies....

hard to believe i started photographing the older girls when they were much younger...

i am quite envious of their beautiful freckles....

and little miss v is already one....i can't quite believe it!

she loves being near her mama or is on the run....no happy medium for her... ;)

i may have gone a little picture happy with her.....she has the best baby chub....and the way she sucked on her two little fingers...i died....

little mr. is one busy boy but busy just loving life...

just one lovely family....

thank you, once again my friends, for allowing me to capture a little bit of you....

cousins

a few weeks ago, i got to spend a little time with this fun group of boys.....

we squeezed in a quick little session before the weather (was supposed) to turn nasty on us....

these boys were troopers....

i'm sure getting their pictures taken is not on the top of their favorite things to do list....

but, they sure like to have fun together....

cousins make great forever friends....

thanks you so much for the honor!!

down by the river

last week i got to spend some time with this beautiful family...

it was another beautiful summer's eve down by the river.....

little mr. h is one curious, busy boy....but oh, so sweet....

and miss c.....full of personality and had THE best facial expressions....

she knows how to make everyone smile....

i had so much fun with you, my friends....

thank you for letting me capture a little bit of you...

a summer's eve

a week or so ago i got to enjoy a lovely evening, in my happy place, with one lovely family....

i first photographed them when their sweet baby boy was brand new...

kids just grow up way too fast....!

lots of fun and laughter on a beautiful summer's eve....

a little sand and water between their toes.....

with lots of love to go around....

thanks again for the honor...

you are the sweetest family!

three becomes four

last week, I had the honor in photographing this sweet family once again....

one of the coolest parts of this job is seeing children and families grow year after year.....

it is hard to believe that the last time i photographed this family, their sweet baby girl was brand new to this world.....

and now she is the most adorable toddler....blue eyed and blonde pigtails...with the best smile....

once a family of three....

now three has become a family of four....

with one precious baby boy.....

who could not have been any sweeter.....

it was a joy and honor to document a little bit of you.....

you have such a beautiful family....
