World Cup Wonderful!

Loved getting to meet this beautiful family as they welcome their gorgeous little girl!  What a fun time it was, and special for so many reasons.  After having watched the World Cup so intently for the past few weeks, I was thrilled when they asked if we could do a photo ' a la World Cup! LOVED the shots we got!  and true to World Cup style, we went the length of doing penalty kicks - this little beauty did not want to miss anything and tried her best to not zonk out!!  But when she finally did - wow! it was totally worth it! Congratulations, A & S! She's gorgeous!

all girl! love this!

New Life .... Another Love

I always go on about this family (I'm lucky enough to get to photograph J and her sister), but I can't help it... they are so calm and sweet, and you feel as if you could just sit and hang out, absorbing their calm as you do.  What a blessing to have another beautiful little boy join this family.  He's gorgeous!  Congratulations!  So excited to follow along a second time. xo

love those little toes peeking out!

No Children were Harmed in the Making of These Images!!

I just knew we were going to have a blast and I was going to like this young man when his parents quietly warned, let's not take all the photos with the glasses! I thought they must be new and so they weren't really too use to them -- but nope -- it wasn't that!  The truth was -- he didn't WEAR glasses!!  He just loved the frame and how they looked!!  LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy's amazing personality and flair!!  and POLITE!!  at the end of the shoot, without any prompting at all from anyone -- in fact, his parents weren't even nearby! he shook my hand, gave me a hug and said thank you for a very nice time and spending the afternoon taking his photos!  OH MAN!!  really really won over by him and his family!  Had such a fabulous time with the K Family!

this is what they are REALLY like together!!

Did I mention talented???

Or athletic??

Beyond Adorable!

How cute is this little guy??  He follows after his parents and is just adorable.  He is so expressive and just a total muffin!  Loved his mom's creative ideas -  what a fun session!

Seriously?!?  Good luck arguing with him as he gets older!!  I can just see how he will be able to use this expression a million times over in his lifetime!!

Radiating

I couldn't be more excited to follow along a second time with this family -- I love it when beauty radiates from the inside out and there is no lack of that here!!  They just have a sweet calm about them that I love... Congratulations on your next little guy coming soon!

circle of life...

How sweet is she!!  I love that I get to meet these amazing couples, photograph such special moments of them coming together and then get to see them as they start their families.... it truly is such a gift to get to see them again as parents!  These two are the sweetest ever and so no surprise at all that their little one was purely angelic both times we got together.

(can I just say I looked NOTHING like this after giving birth!)

This is so special... they had a special ceremony at S's grandfather's home as he couldn't travel to their destination wedding..... that's where I came in - I captured that ceremony on her grandfather's dock.
