Happy 18 mo Peyton!

A year and a half later, a milestone for little Peytie and myself!  She was one of my first clients, and it is truly so amazing to see her smile grow and grow...to which on this shoot she shared with us ten fold...as soon as she saw Teddy!  I can't help but smile ear to ear when going through her pictures...well...when you scroll down you'll see what I mean!!

Thanks for the playdate ladies, Miss Morgan had a blast and asks for Peyyyytonnn a lot lately!

Hope you like your sneak peek!

The Kiddos

Most of you are already aware but I have quite a lot of fun playing dress up and dancing with my children (plural) to include Cash at this point...well and Baby...because really she doesn't have a choice right? 

Our latest family craze...is dancing the "TUTU" dance all around the house.  Morgan puts on a tutu..and we sing and dance to:  A tututu A tutu...A tutu A tutu...I know probably not as creative as you would think but I'm not a songwriter!  We have fun, we shake it...and Cash joins in.  Yes...Cash is a HE...but he wears it well!!  And when we take it off he actually cries for us to put it back on because he likes his bling bling (or thinks it is his collar...)

I needed some shots for our family christmas card and couldn't think of anything more fun than sharing the Tutu dance with all of our family and friends...and my blog of course!!

We had to move it indoors....pretty cold outside

Dom Turns 2!

That is the craziest title to put down for me...time just keeps on moving along!!
This year the CARS- Lightening McQueen Theme was in effect, there was even a fun pinata!  My daughter couldn't wait to stuff her pockets with suckers...oh and open them and be covered in stickiness. 

I hope the birthday boy had fun, we most certainly did!  I'm suprised I made it out of there without Morgan stealing a toy or two...

Isn't he a cutie?  Heartbreaker turns 2 should have been my Title...

Miss Morgan Poppins

Oh boy do I have some blogging to catch up on...the holidays really set me back, for those of you that received my family christmas card...after christmas you know what I'm talking about!!

This is probably one of my most favorite shots of Morgan.  We were at Whitnall park getting all ready for Daddy to pick her up so I could take some pictures ( I know crazy...) and she decided she wanted to walk in the snow...I saw my golden opportunity and took it!

We call this our "fancy coat" and we twirl around in it.  May my little girl forever love how I dress her up, and stay so so very sweet :).

Bet you can guess who made it!! DADDY!!

Santa makes a Special Delivery!!

Santa called and a special delivery for the L family was on its way early this Christmas!!  An adorable puppy, now named: Charlie, has a brand new home...  Now Santa approved this with the parents, who then, thankfully, called me, and had me rush over to capture the surprise :).  Note to self:  Add excitement to family pictures...bring a puppy.   Isn't he cute!!  I immediately wanted one...who doesn't love puppies...??!

Good luck Charlie, I don't think you'll be lacking for attention in this happy home!

Congrats Kids!  Santa and your parents Rock...if there is one dream I think every child has at one time it is a puppy for christmas...I know I had it.

Thanks again and hope you enjoy your shots!

Winter Family Pictures

Before the freezing winds came this past weekend, I was able to meet up with my niece & nephew & parents of course....for some family photos.  They are such cutie patooties and I love love hearing them say...Cheeseburgers!  and we also yelled MERRY CHRISTMAS, which I'm sure Santa heard :).  Aren't they a gorgeous family??!  I can't wait to get some pictures of the cousins together at Christmas.

Here you guys go....

This is one of my new favs!!

Jump Jump Jump

Ok...its dangerous to shoot pictures while your child is going crazy jumping on your couch...oh and its not advisable to let them jump on couches...or let them think that it is ok...I get it.  I also couldn't resist capturing how much fun she was having!!  I get to be the mean momma enough...this was just too tempting.

I promise...John was/is aware of the situation, was home at the time and nearby should something have happened...which thankfully it did not :) 

She kills me :).
