This child is hysterical!  She was so intent on pouring the “tea”.  She thoroughly enjoyed the party!Tea Party!Tea Party!Tea Party!Tea Party!Tea Party!

One last walk before heading home!Tea Party!After our session, Emily changed the girls so they could go play at the park for a little while.  While Emily and I were chatting and she was changing Ava, Ava stood on a chair right in front of me.  She found my camera fascinating and clicked away at the shutter.  I didn’t think a thing about it, but when I was sifting thru the photos, I came upon this gem!  Ava’s self portrait!!!  So adorable!

Tea Party!

Thanks Emily!  I always love photographing your beautiful girls!

Puppies!

I don’t usually photograph pets unless they are part of a family and included in a family session.  However, when my friend asked me to take a few photos of her brand new puppies, how could I resist these adorable faces!!!  Enjoy!

Rachel & Josh & Baby Deacon | Maternity

I love keeping it all in the family!  Rachel is Derrick’s sister and Caleigh’s sister-in-law.  I was thrilled when she asked me to take maternity photos for she and her husband Josh!  They are expecting their first baby, Deacon, in just a few weeks.  I don’t think I have ever seen two people so in love with their child!  They are head over heels, crazy in love and baby Deacon has them wrapped around his finger!  And he isn’t even born yet!!!  I can’t wait to meet him!  Enjoy the “before” photos!
