little sleeping beauty…

welcome to the world little isla…you are so sweet…i know you did not want to sleep…you really just wanted to see the world for many hours on end.  🙂   it allowed me a lot of time to chat with your mommy and i really loved that.  i am glad we managed to capture a few moments of  you in dreamland…you were so at peace.  i look forward to watching you grow.

ohhhh shilo….

i met with shilo at the end of may and during the transport from daycare to our session location, shilo fell deep into sleep.  well, you see, he was not so excited about waking up to take photos.  and, when the mean photographer:)  made mommy get him up, he was not so happy.  so, we tried and tried, but he was just sooooo sleepy.  i still caught some sweet moments, but shilo was just not quite himself.  so, we found a time that worked to meet again and it ended up being a month later.  sweet shilo was wide awake and full of smiles.  and, i honestly could not believe how much he had grown in just one short month.  he looks so different to me…more like a little boy.  oh my is he cute.  heidi and kyle…thank you!  can’t wait for shilo’s first birthday!

sleepy baby boy…

here’s where shilo was really getting mad at me.  🙂  🙂  but, gosh, he is still SO cute even when he is sad…and, it was at this point

that we decided it would be wise to try again another day…

so, we met again and look what happened!  smiles and TWO MORE TEETH!  🙂

lots more smiles to come soon mom and dad!

jackson…

perfect sweetness!   his eyes, his cute smile, his feet and little hands digging in the dirt…love it all.  it is so fun to see jackson turning into a little boy.  and, a very cute one he is!   such a wonderful family!  thank you, nat and dan!

summer at the lake…

it was a beautiful, very windy, summer morning at grandma and grandpa’s lake home…sweet julia was a such a good baby girl with the wind practically pushing her on her side.  🙂  from the lake, we decided we would test our luck a bit more and we took a few more photos at julia’s house.  she was soooooo good and by the end of our shoot, she wanted to fall asleep in the basket we put her in.  thank you adam for being a trooper with all of the ladies’ crazy ideas!  🙂  i loved spending the morning with you all…
