A Happy Coincidence!

We are back and it sure does feel good to be home! I have mountains of laundry to sort through and many pictures to process! I will share some as soon as I can. However, I wanted to share these images first as I loved how this all came together!

We attend church and Sunday School with Andy and Emilie. A few weeks ago, at a picnic, my husband had a conversation with them about summer vacation. As it turned out, they were headed to the same beach, only a few miles from where we stay. Even more fun was that they would be there most of the same week! As life would have it, I was not privy to this conversation. I was on one of my multiple trips to the ladies restroom with at least a few of my precious (Mommy, I have to go potty now!) girls! Being that we had to pack up from the picnic, load up the 6 kiddos, drive home, take baths, read stories, brush teeth, put them to bed and then collapse ourselves, Jeryl somehow forgot to tell me!

A few days before we left we were having a conversation about all the people we knew that would be at the beach during our trip. It seemed uncanny how many familiar faces we would see while there. Jeryl then informed me of the Ashworth’s plans. Knowing how much Emilie had been wanting to have pictures made, and jumping at the chance to photograph her beautiful girls on the beach, I gave her a call. They were leaving the next morning and us the day after that. The timing was perfect!

Enough talk! Enjoy this gorgeous family!

Ella loved the grass!

This is Olivia. She likes to play lifeguard!


I love the light in this one and I adore candid family images!

Meet Ava. She never stops!

The girls found this pool and started to dig. So cute!

Hello!!!! Are you sure you’re the parents of 3! Wow!


Andy and Emilie, I’m so happy that this worked out for us! I loved spending time with you and your girls and I am in love with your images!

*********Don’t forget to watch your slideshow*********

I’ll see you soon! Blessings!

And they’re off…..!

We are headed to the beach for a week of fun! Hopefully it’s not too hot!

In looking at some paperwork the other day, I realized that this month is officially my 1 year anniversary! In July 2007, I started up my website and blog and told the world that I could do this! It’s been an amazing year and I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me. To celebrate, I am giving away a $25.00 iTunes gift card!

Here’s the deal – Below is a picture of my daughter last year at the beach. Come up with a caption for this photo! Leave a comment or send me an e-mail with your caption. You have until Sunday, July 27th to enter. When we return, I will pick my favorite! Ready, set, go!!!

Have a wonderful week!

Note: All order will be filled, and e-mails/calls will be returned when we are back. Thanks for your patience.

Birthday Boy!

Eleven years ago, this was our newly expanded family!

We are now eleven years older and have expanded by another 5 kiddos!  I can’t believe how time has flown!  Wednesday was B’s birthday and we celebrated a few friends, homemade pizzas, a cool Narnia inspired cake and awesome presents!

I think his favorite present was a replica of Peter’s sword!

Here’s my guy now.  11 years old and so grown up!  Love ya B!  Happy Birthday!

I love new babies!

They are squishy and cute and make funny faces!  Tanner is now 1 month old and absolutely adorable.

Big brother Hunter is kinda cute too!

Amy and Rob are so in love with their new little guy!

Rob lost the rock-paper-scissors challenge!!!

Back in Mommy’s arms and wide awake!

When Amy and I corresponded about her session, one thing she mentioned was that Hunter had just learned to crawl our of his crib!  Here he is, caught in action!

He can fly as well!

A little play time in the sandbox.

Tanner had a full belly, so he let us do whatever we wanted!

I just love this little family!  Thank you guys for letting me spend the afternoon with you!  You have 2 beautiful boys!

********It’s a little long, but enjoy your slideshow!********

Many blessings, Lori

July 4th on July 9th!

I know it’s a few days late but here are some pictures of our July 4th celebration!  We had the annual cook-out-set off fireworks-go see more fireworks-kind of day!  Nothing says summer like grilling hamburgers and hot dogs………

…..and a big glass of lemonade and ice tea!

Chillin’ out in the playhouse!

Our stash of fireworks.

The results!  Aren’t you impressed!!!!  The girls got a kick out of riding their bikes through the smoke after the firework was finished!

Later we headed to Green Hill Park for the fireworks show!  While we waited the kids were a little bored, so Mommy to the rescue with her camera!  They were twirling glow-stick necklaces Jeryl bought so we could keep track of them!  Not the best photo, but not bad for a few glow-sticks, a flashlight and 6 kids who wouldn’t hold still!

Fireworks!

Look how cool this one is!  The center looked like a daisy!

Happy summer everyone!
