Little Man...

Can this kid dress or what?! ( guess it helps that his mom is super cool!)
He was much fonder of the camera at this session than when I first met him 6 mths ago- in fact I could hardly snap fast enough to catch all of them! I hear he is taking a big trip to the west coast soon- watch out handsome guy... I hear those California girls are a handful! :)

See you soon J!

Folded

It always makes me smile to see a brand new baby fall asleep and curl right back into the position they have been in for the last 9 mths. They have to be "freshies" as some of my other photographer friend call them, though, because once they realize how liberating it is to stretch out- they will never fold again...this little lady was born just 7 days before our session.

can you remember the last time you were able to touch your nose...

with your toes???

sweet dreams, little Miss "Lion". I can't wait to see you grow!

A Tribute... to a beautiful princess...

I was just told by my volunteer coordinator that one of my little hospice patients passed away last week. Her family stands out to me as so strong and so determined to help other families battling the rare disease that their daughter fought.

This is one of my favorite images I have ever taken, and I wanted to share it in Bella's memory...
God bless you Stringer family. You are in my thoughts and prayers!

Wallowing

Lots of animals wallow to escape the heat of the sun. My animal expert 4 year old could probably ramble off at least a dozen. I will spare you that list, but here is my shorter version:
1. Elephants
2. Pigs
3. My sons and nephews

As I am sure those of you who know me know already- this was all my idea. Anything for a picture for my kitchen wall collage!
But really, what boy on this earth wouldn't jump for joy at being TOLD to have a mudfight??
