My {BFF}

When we left NC, we made a pit stop in Utah to visit the family and friends before our big move to Seattle. While I was there, I was able to get together with my BFF. We've been friends since 1st grade! I love this woman and I wish she lived closer so we could hang out all the time!

I had to privilege to take some family photos for them when we got together.

Cutie pie {L}

and...

the adorable TWINS!!

Craziness!!

I know you told me a million times {T} which is which, but I still can't remember!!

What an amazing woman!!

Thanks so much for letting me take your pictures!

Come visit us soon!

One Last {NC} Photoshoot

My last photoshoot in North Carolina was with this fine family who I miss A TON already! {A} was one of my running buddies that actually got me to run! YAY!! And my little {E} loved playing with little {A} and his yellow truck. Hehe, ask him about {E}'s special dance :)

It was SOOOO beastly hot and the mosquitoes were out in full force, but we survived!

Did I mention I love this family!

Mr. and Mrs. {V} are delighted to announce...hehe, just kidding. Looks like an engagement picture though, doesn't it?

What a cute couple! Thanks guys for a fun and muggy evening! Miss you guys and come visit us soon!

Little Miss {L}

Remember this little wide awake newborn?

Time flies when you're having fun! Right before we moved, mom had me take some of Little Miss {L}. She was almost 9 months old in these pictures. Took me long enough to post them, I know!

Me and Mom had such a fun time in the heat trying anything and everything to get little {L} to smile. Twice.

...almost a smile...

YAY!! Success!

What a doll!

6 Months

Remember this little guy? Yeah, I wasn't joking about Mom having pictures of her kids taken every few months!! The summer has flown by and little {F} is now 6 months.

He's still so happy and smiley.

Check out those chunky monkey rolls!! Love it!!

Check out those cute bottom teeth!


My friend {K} also wanted a few pictures of {F} in his FAvoRiTe toy of all time, the Exersaucer:

Thanks {K} for a fun afternoon and also for letting me practice my skills on your kids for the last year! I'm going to miss you guys!

Little {Princess}

I had the privilege of photographing this little princess when she was less than 1 week old! Surprisingly, the first day we tried to take pictures, little {M} was NOT having any of it! She was more awake than she had ever been. Story of my life with newborn pictures :P So we decided to try again the next day. I'm so glad we did, because {M} was soooo good and sleepy that next day!

Mom had to have a c-section because {M} was breach. I had one too with my little one, and let me tell you, being sliced open REALLY hurts! But, on the upside, your baby doesn't get squished in the birth canal coming out, so they end up having perfect skin when they're born. I didn't have to do any "newborn blotchy skin" touch-ups with {M}.

Look at that adorable squishy face!!

I caught this adorable shot while {M} was stretching and momentarily opened her eyes! What a doll!!

Congratulations {D} & {C}!

Thanks again for letting me take pictures of your little princess!

Just One...

I just had to get one up of this precious little princess for mom and dad before I went to bed tonight.

More to come soon...

3 Months

My friend {K} is so on the ball. She has pictures taken of each of her kids every few months. And she gets them printed and on the wall within a few weeks too!!

Today was little {F}'s turn. He was such a happy smiley little guy. I just love this stage. They are smiley and they can't run away :)

What a handsome little man!

Thanks {K} for letting me come over today!

Enjoy!

Sneak Peak for {S}

Last weekend I had the privilege of taking some pictures for a fellow {future} nurse friend. Yay nurses!! {S} just graduated on Saturday and will be starting work later this summer.

This adorable pair were such troopers! Hiking around in the itchy daisies was hard work, but they did great!

We tried our best to get some real smiles out of {J}, but even the "poo-poo" jokes weren't working! Good thing he has an adorable "fake" smile!!

{N} was a natural!

Thanks {S} for letting me spend the morning with you guys! Hope you like them!

Sweet Little Lexi Loo

I had to privilege of hanging out with this sweet little pumpkin and her parents last weekend. Little Lexi is already a month old and she was pretty awake during our most of our session, but we did manage to get her into a deep sleep for about half an hour.

Look at that gorgeous smile!!

And those eyes!!

Mom did such a great job decorating the nursery! I wish I would have taken more pictures of it!!

Thanks {M} Family for a fun and TOASTY afternoon!!

And a big thanks to my friend Katie, who made the cute pink hat!!
