little parker….sooooo sweet.  and, her mommy…so, sweet too.  this was a very special portrait session to be a part of.  parker’s mom decided she wanted to surprise her husband for father’s day and give him the wonderful gift of photos of his two loves.  well, you can see for yourself, but he is going to melt into a million little pieces…what a thoughtful, special gift that he will cherish for a lifetime.  jen, i am so glad this worked out…thank you.

lucy was one of the very first little girls that i ever photographed…she is one now and exploring the world.   i love the first photo of her so much….the look on her face is just so sweet. little lucy was so pretty in her birthday dress and pink tu tu.  her mommy is such a girly girl, always having the perfect attire for lucy to wear.  molly and aaron, thank you for allowing me to photography lucy’s first year of life… i have loved seeing her grow into a pretty little girl.

i am sitting here editing and i found one more photo of eliana that i just had to post…i love her little lips and her eyes are so so pretty…okay, back to work.

meet maleyna and eliana…aren’t these the most beautiful names to go with the most beautiful little girls?  these two were busy, busy, busy and i had fun watching their cute personalities shine through.  maleyna was a typical 3 year old…full of energy and spunk.  and, little eliana, who just turned one was curious and sweet.  we had fun looking for our friend lady bug and the last time i looked he was waiting for us up in the tree.  the last photo on this post is definitely one of my all time favorite photos…eliana’s expression is just priceless and her blue eyes sparkle with wonder.  kara and nick…it was so nice to meet you and spend an hour with your family.

these are three of my very favorite little subjects…you have seen them all over my website.  i have photographed these three a few times now and they just keep getting sweeter and sweeter.  their beautiful smiles, eyes and curls melt me.  :)  what a blessing to watch these little girls grow and be a small part of capturing some of the special times in their lives. brandee and matt, thank you so much for being so loyal to me even though i am far away from your home sweet home.  :)  and, brandee…i know how much you love b&w, but i had a very hard time changing any of these photos with the coloring and beautiful blue eyes of your girls.  but, i changed a couple just for you.  :)  :)
