what darling children and what a wonderful family.  this was such a special shoot.  beautiful, little ava arrived home just weeks ago from korea.  she has more than obviously been welcomed into a family of the most loving hearts…her mom and dad were so kind and her big brother sam is just so sweet and adores his little sister.  and, i cannot forget grandpa ron!  thank you so much, justin and allie…i am so happy that i was able to meet you all.  you have the most beautiful family…i am so happy for you!

it was so fun to see anika and taylor again…i took photos of them last fall and they have both changed so much. this was a joyful shoot…there was so much love and happiness in the air.  sara, anika and taylor’s mom wanted me to capture grandma and grandpa interacting with the girls.  it was precious to watch…there is nothing better then grandma and grandpas’ and it was very evident that these two adore their little granddaughters so much.  what special memories that will last a lifetime. and, the best part of my day was when little anika gave me the biggest hug before leaving…it can’t get any better then that.  this is the greatest job on earth.

i took my kids to iowa this past week-end to visit my parents.  visiting iowa has become one of my little girls favorite things to do because of little Michaela who lives next door…she is the same age as grace and they really love each other.  grace never stops talking about her when we return home and when i look at these photos i melt.  they share a special little bond….even at age 3.5 they have found a real friendship.  i hope they grow up together and know one another forever and ever.
