happiest birthday boy

how can you not smile at this little guy, just one year old and happy as can be. even i couldn't stop smiling! and to top it off, it was a gorgeous day! and even though the session was supposed to be for the little guy we managed to sneak in a few with mom and dad (even if it was just their toes). it was hard to pick just a few, they are all so much fun. here goes nothing...




oh and did i mention the ice cream? oh yes, there was birthday ice cream. a fun and sticky mess but cute none the less. happy birthday little man!

must run in the family

this is a special birthday post. as i celebrate my birthday today i thought it would be fun to show off my very own birth announcement! yes, this is what my parents sent out when i was born. and yes, i am the one being held upside down by my brother. i thought it was a pretty creative announcement and worth sharing. so enjoy!

sweet siblings

this was a fun pair to photograph. we had a good time playing around in the garden and trying out some new things, like the "lets be a real life photo" game which created some fun shots. i just hope they had fun too!

birth announcements are fun!

just a little design i whipped up for a birth announcement. i forget sometimes how much i like doing design and pushing the envelope (pun intended) on the everyday card.


also, as i said before, there will be more...oh so much more. the wheels have been turning in my head. so be sure to check back for more new designs and maybe a few more cute kids too.

best buds (just not today)

these two little cuties are best of buds, from what i hear they play all the time. but the camera must've made them nervous because they didn't want to have anything to do with one another on the day of the shoot. ah well...still plenty of shots of boys being boys. that is what they do best.




and even a best buds moment...

sweet pea

this little darling is only one month old and oh so sweet. i kept trying to put the camera away but she just kept being cute, what's a girl to do? so we may have had a slightly longer session but the results were well worth it.

sweetness in shark boots

you can help but smile when you see this little girl in her sundress and shark boots. and odd combination, yes. completely adorable, totally! me and miss k had a grand old time romping around in a field of dandelions on a windy day back in may. it was hard to pick just a few favorites but here goes....
