She WANTED to do it.

She didn't have to ask me twice, didn't even have to twist my arm.  She approached me about doing a photo shoot - "like...a real one".  I tried not to sound too excited and replied with a nonchalant "sure, I'll do it".  How could I say no?  

She's our little girl.   

 I've mentioned to her on occasion that she's so beautiful on the inside that it spills out on the outside.  

She's been invited to her first semi-formal middle school dance.  We both love what she has chosen to wear  ;-)

 I absolutely adore the next picture.  It's a perfect reflection of her. It's also proof of how much fun she was having (sighhh)

 The next image is a typical expression of Morgan.  It's the "I'm Curious, but not so sure I want to know" look.

Now, if my little boy would be so willing to do this.  (I just literally laughed out loud)

Sneak Peek Round-Up

It isn't fair at all that I haven't blogged the great sessions I've been having.  Shame on me.  Here's a glimpse of what you've missed...

The Goebel's

The Barbary's

The McHugh's

Howle Girls

Tess

Judith + Hunter {E-Session}

Judith and Hunter are FINALLY tying the knot after 7 years of dating.  So excited to be a part of their day in June next year. 

I really enjoyed spending time with them - their E-Session was a breeze.  They both have great personalities and didn't seem to mind all the luvvy-dubby stuff I asked them to do ;-)

Here's the sneak peek!!

And if you can't tell...Hunter is a hoot!!  I can't wait until the wedding! :-)

Miss Emery (& mashed potatoes)

One thing I know for sure is that when Brooke schedules a session for one of her little girls, it's gonna be awesome.  She puts a lot of thought into their outfits and whatever props go along with it.  Makes me VERY happy.  {Brooke, I know that you are reading this because of your confessions of stalking my blog - which I am totally grateful - Kudos on a kick butt stylized session.  You rock!}

I started photographing Emery as a newborn.  Her third birthday just passed and she celebrated with a ladybug theme.  We started the session in a field full of cotton mashed potatoes - that's what Emery called it  :-)

  

Mommy & Me Session: Courtney + Ava

It's not gonna be hard to tell how much I loved this session because of the enormous sneak peek I have created.  Just a little girl and her mommy having a little bit of fun and showing lots of love in front of the camera.   I love the colors, the warmth...the whole idea of a Mommy & Me session makes me giddy.  How sweet of an album is this gonna make?

See what I mean?  Happy Monday!! :-)
