For Steph and Rob

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY MILO!!  Your sweet grandma has given mom and dad the gift of a photo session to celebrate your first year.  I am looking forward to seeing them again and meeting you.  Tell them to get in touch with me and we will set it all up.  

The baby

It is hard to believe that he thought two children were enough when I see these two together.  We can't imagine everyday without the baby, the third, our McCoy.  Terrible threes and all.  

Early Arrival...baby Jackson

My friend Tonya at beauty in life photography was stuck at home last weekend, taking her turn at being severely under the weather. She asked if I could help out with a session and because she is the kind of person that would give you the shirt off her back, and because newborns only stay newborns for a little time, I was happy to step in and meet this family. 

Shawna and Rick, thank you for being flexible and again, congratulations. He is beautiful. 

breakfast

There is always time for a little fun before drop off. 

It must be a Monday.....

Happy Birthday....A surprise for Edward

This session was (is until now) a surprise for big Edward (Dad) from little Edward and Mommy (Julie).  We met at their new home in Bexley and although they are not fully moved in as of yet, it didn't really matter.  That is mostly because of the personality of this just 6 month old boy.  I have never had one this young so fully aware and involved.  He followed me everywhere with those huge eyes and was fully intent on communicating the entire time.  Most of these are the sweeter expressions, but he had plenty of others as well.  It was just the three of us this time, but I hope to meet Dad too soon. 

 

Faces

I didn't want to send these two faces back to school today.  It was such a nice Christmas break, even with all of the sickness here.  We all had our doctor's visits and spent our days on the couch, but it was cozy, and it was together. We are simple and easy to please and even as terrible as we felt, a break from the norm was good.

After school and back home this evening, it was fettuccine alfredo, a couple of playlists, homework, and a little wii competition before bedtime. Good enough.

a new year

Wishing for a happy, peaceful year for all of God's children.
