How to tell your Mom, "Happy Mother's Day"

I know with everyone's busy lives between family and work it is not always easy to find the time to get together with family to update that family portrait. However, thanks to our holidays throughout the year, they help remind us to get together every so often for pictures....since pictures always make a great gift for any holiday or occasion! Well what better way to tell Mom you love her, than to surprise her with an updated portrait with you and your siblings?
For this Mother's Day Gift Session, this sister and brother were great to work with and were lots of fun! While shooting, it helped remind me how much I appreciate my big sister and that though we are both adults with busy lives how much fun we still have together! Thanks you two for a great session! Here are just a few of my favorite shots to check out!

A Sunday Full of Laughs and Love

Last Sunday was the kind of day I love to have! Great weather, beautiful scenery, fantastic and cool couple + 3 cute little doggies, and me shooting pictures of all of these together! FUN! FUN! FUN! Seriously though, I can't say enough how much I enjoy shooting couples who are up for an adventure and these two wonderful people were definitely up for some adventures....from stopping in a small town with a population of 30 to "bird-ducks" flying overhead during our session....we had some fun. Here are some of the images I captured of this beautiful couple. Enjoy!

The Signs of Spring

I can't say enough how much I enjoy living in the area we live in! We are so lucky to have a visual change in our surroundings when the seasons change and spring is definitely noticed around here. I was very pleased with the beautiful magnolias we were able to use with this gorgeous couple during their maternity session. The beauty from both the couple and their surroundings definitely complemented one another. Not to mention this couple was a joy to work with! Congratulations to you both on your upcoming arrival! Here are a few of my favorite shots, enjoy!

New Addition

I was so lucky to have the priviledge to shoot some portraits of this family's three little girls. Its amazing to see the bond between sisters at such a young age! I could already see how much these two big sisters love their new baby sister. I thank all of them for inviting me into their home and allowing me to capture these precious moments with their new addition to their family. Here are some of my top pics! Enjoy!!

Happy Valentine's Day

I know I am a couple of days early but wishing you and yours a Happy Valentine's Day!

Merry Christmas!!

Wishing you and yours a healthy and blessed Christmas from our family to yours!

This is one of my favorite shots I got this holiday season of my little guy at Christmas at the Grove.

I got a lot of great and thoughtful gifts for Christmas this year but I wanted to share this one with you. This is my first camera ornament. It was given to me by a good friend of mine....thanks again Bee!

One holiday tradition that our family has is making my mom a birthday luncheon....yes, my mom is lucky to have a birthday on Christmas so we always get her a birthday cake. This cake was by Caroline's Creations....awesome work again Caroline!

Funny T-shirts

Since even before my son was born, I have loved funny shirts. My favorite one that my husband use to wear said, "I Eat Paste". So it is safe to assume that when our son was born he had a wide selection of shirts with silly sayings. Even to this day he typically comes to preschool with something interesting printed on his shirts. However, I'd have to say this one is my favorite....I wonder why??? I found this shirt along with a couple more cool ones on the website theretrobaby.com. Along with this one we own the Mr.T and Sloth from the Goonies shirts.
