parker and her mommy…

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.

little jacob…

i have been the lucky photographer which has been a part of jacob’s first year of life.  i took photos of this little darling when he was just days old and now look at him…he is turning one soon and is sweet, sweet, sweet!  🙂   the best part of my job is being able to build a relationship with these amazing families and watch these little babies turn into beautiful little children.  as you can see we had such a fun time.  and, i just love the unexpected photos, like the one here of jacob in the kitchen sink after our messy attempt to get some 1st birthday cake shots.  special memories that will last a lifetime.   jens and jill…thank you.  you are wonderful.  🙂

oh thomas…

thomas is one of my wonderful, little iowa clients…  🙂  the last time i saw him, he was 6 months old.  he has grown into a little boy and is so darling…his eyes….my oh my his eyes…and, i cannot forget the little brown curls.  he was very, very busy doing all the things that little boys do.  and, did not want to put down the snow shovel that was in the yard.  actually, he got very angry when we tried to take away his snow shovel.  i guess he was so sad to see the iowa snow go by by.  we had a beautiful spring day with nothing but warm air and sun.  thank you ann and chris for the opportunity to photograph thomas again.en_imageborder_horz6en_imageborder_horz-31en_imageborder_vert-24en_imageborder_horz-24en_imageborder_vert3
