I love this girl!!!

Meet my gorgeous friend, Andrea!! I wanted to practice & needed an adult model (read: Audrey not so cooperative!)!!! She brought her pup, Zoey & we headed to the park.....
Thank you Andrea!!

Fun at the park

Ava Grace is 4 months old!

I can't believe it's been 4 months since little Miss Ava was born!!  The days, weeks, & months just seem to be flying by.... I just want to slow 'em down a bit!

And what better than photographs??

a moment savored.

Miss Payton - 11 days old

My first newborn session w/ Miss Payton!  She did not want anything to do with being nakie or with sleeping!!  We tried for hours, literally!  Poor girl was gassy & just plain overtired.  But we tried!!

new background!!

The newborn session that I had scheduled for this morning had to be rescheduled to tomorrow.  Tomorrow morning I have a newborn session with an 11 day old baby girl :)  And tomorrow afternoon, I have another session with a 12 day old baby girl!!  I went to Joann's Fabrics today & bought 2 fabric backgrounds & a basket!!! Hopefully all will go alright tomorrow.... I'm a bit nervous. :)

and because I can't make up my mind on whether I love the B&W or the color... here's the same in color

She's such a goofy, happy girl!! Love her to pieces!

And a picture of my almost 2 year old :)

And yes, the backgrounds have a fold line... I just got them home & I need to iron them tonight!

my girls
