[LOVE!]

What fun we had! 

Little L was hilarious!

Thanks, guys!



[Great to be (almost) 8]

It's her perfect dress.

The one she chose 3 months ago when we first went looking.

Still the one she picked when we went shopping today.

Made me a little sad to slip that beautiful white dress over her head this morning as my brain flashed ahead a few years to when it will be a wedding dress I'm helping her into.

When I saw her smile, I knew we'd found the perfect dress.

Of course, when you find the perfect dress, you can't wait to do your pictures!

So, we ventured out in 25 degree weather to shoot some pictures for her baptism invitations.

My baby isn't a baby anymore.

She's a beautiful girl.

Just as beautiful as she is tough.

Sure do love her!



[a few random photos]

I've been a slacker.

I know.

Hopefully I'll do better.

But I'm not promising anything!

Here are a few favorites from some recent sessions. . .

Candice's family.

 The Lewis Boys.  I taught both of these handsome young men when they were First Graders!  Crazy.

 The Maughan Family.

Mr. J. was one of my students also!

 The Voth Family.  Be watching for more of these beautiful people!

Mr. L. was in my class last year.  :)

 The Wheatley Family.  Such awesome littles this family has!

 And Van Wagoners.  The family that wins the prize for the longest awaited session.

3 years.  Not totally my fault. 

I think my favorite thing about this hobby is hanging out with such great people!

Thanks for trusting me with your family photos!
