I have loved and photographed this family for years! We had lots of fun, as usual. This awesome family is in the process of adopting a very spirited little two year old girl. There are many more images that I would love to show, but those will have to wait until the adoption is final.:)
I have three boys, so I love to see other moms with their sons. This pair were so full of love. Mom was so patient and really kept him happy and laughing like I’ve never seen before! 
Picture it- little girls and dogs alike in fairy wings, colorful paper butterflies hanging from the tree branches and pink sparkles and glitter everywhere.
Kids partied.
Dogs, um, partied too.
The birthday girl.
Tea time.
Too cute! I love how the dogs are both anxiously awaiting their turn.
He wanted a sticker on his paw too. I feel his pain.
Storytime.
Happy Birthday to a sweet princess!
I do not like to hold onto things for sentimental reasons, whether it’s furniture, paperwork, clothing. So, when my husband’s grandma gave us her bedroom set from the 1920′s, and the vanity and matching stool didn’t fit in our bedroom, I really didn’t want to store it in our garage. While rearranging the garage, it dawned on me that the stool would be a perfect prop! So, I took my youngest out in a field on this stool. I love it!
When I say I LOVE this family, I really mean it. They just love their kids and the kids adore them right back. I could have set down my camera and just joined in with them, chatting up a storm and goofing off with the kids.
The skies did not look promising all morning but we were surprised with the sun coming out just enough to take the chill off and really show off the beautiful colors. Well, ok, it was still pretty chilly, but the perfectly lit scenery was all worth it.
… with my faithful sidekick.

It’s been a little while since I broke out my studio lighting so this was fun! She is always more than willing to pose for me.
Dramatic much?
