Little guy ~ 2 1/2 years - Baby girl ~ 4 1/2 years

Time is flying and I can't believe it's time for my little guy's 2 1/2 year pics!!!  I took these about a month ago but am behind on blogging :)

And here is my baby girl.... 4 1/2 already!!!  This is probably my favorite picture of her... ever!

It blows my mind to see how grown up she looks..... just wait until you see her Valentine pictures :(

If you think my kids just sit and smile perfectly for the camera you are oh so very WRONG :)   Here are a couple outtakes from this last session....

This is a whole new level of ornery!  He is 2 1/2 and I am fearful of how he's going to be at 5, 8 and 16!!!!

This is when we decided we weren't going to take pictures, like, on the 1st shot ;)  Look carefully, Mr. Ornery is peeking through his fingers! ha!  I'm thankful my little girl outgrew this stage :)

I apologize for the drab black background but it's winter and I suppose it's better than the dead outside.  I have been attempting to experiment with new backdrops for winter photography but not having too much luck without getting the "fake" look.   

Stay tuned.... I have Valentine pics to post soon as well as some new products :)

Mr. J ~ 7 days new

Mr. J entered this world just 7 days ago and I had the pleasure of spending some time with him and his beautiful family.    Mr. J is absolutely perfect!   I hope you enjoy this quick sneak peek from yesterday's session :)

This has to be one of my favorite candid pictures!

soooo sweet :)

This is Miss S - the BIG SISTER!!!  She is such a sweet little girl and already very protective of her little brother

I can't believe you had a baby 7 days ago... you look FANTASTIC!!!

my obsession...

Thank you so much K family!!  You are such a beautiful family and I really enjoyed all the cuddle time :)  I cannot wait to show you the rest of your pictures.

~ The Wright Family ~

A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of taking picture for The Wright family.  Little Miss J has already faced more challenges than any baby should in the short four months she's been with us.  She was born at 27 weeks and she and her mother spent quite a bit of time in the hospital after birth.   She is an angel and proof that miracles do exist :)

soooooo sweet.......

all smiles :)

There is this unexplained bond between a daughter and her father <3

She was trying to eat her daddy's fingers but I love this picture because it shows how tiny she is!!!

beautiful like her momma :)

Miss J has the coolest room!!

Awwww!

more smiles :)

Darn you, Pinterest!  This is the closest that I have gotten to that picture I saw on there....

I soooo LOVE this!!!!

And one last picture - this is awesome :)

Thank you again for allowing me to photograph your family!  Miss J is too sweet.  I cannot wait to show you the rest of the pictures :)
