2 dogs and a great lady

Today, I met up with one of my sister's co-workers, Lorna. She brought along her "family", two great dogs Kiko and Skittles. The dogs are beautiful dogs and totally opposite. Kiko is a Golden Retriever and calm as can be, Skittles has quite a bit of energy. Lorna recently rescued Skittles where in his previous home he had been abused. She has done such a wonderful job with both of her dogs and Skittles couldn't be any cuter! I had so much fun photographing her with the dogs and seeing how well she handles them. Thanks for opportunity Lorna, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Blink

As last week came to a close and I realized that we are beginning a new school year and all the craziness that comes with it, I realized that I sent my baby girl to official preschool and that my son entered the first grade and is no longer my baby. It happens so fast, too fast. I think of all of the days that we are running around doing errands and one child is fighting with the other or one child is melting down, and I think of how I would wish for those days to be over and for us to be able to go to the store without drama, but then I think, WAIT, sooner rather than later, they will be grown up and the kids will be heading onto college and getting lives of there own. I know that those days are a ways away, but I can't help but think that this week was the beginnning of letting my babies grow up and become independent.

I read a blog of two other photographers, and they have had similar posts this week where they were sending their babies to school, and one of them posted a song with the lyrics that she said was her theme song. Of course, I listened to it and I cried, and then I said its true, it does happen in a blink and we should cherish every moment. Despite the crazy times and feeling as though I wish it would hurry up, I really don't want it to and I need to stop and take it all in. So here are some pictures from the first day of school and attached is that song, just for me to share, and because two of my inspirations Kim and Jodie (Fresh Art Photography) shared it too.

Just Gorgeous

I have had the opportunity to photograph some beautiful kids and families over the course of the last few years, and I love how we get to capture each person's personality. Well, last Sunday night did not disappoint as I was able to meet up with my husband's cousin and her family. They are a beautiful family and photograph so well together, but A and B's daughter's look like they stepped right out of a magazine ad! They are absolutely gorgeous and I had a magnificent time trying to capture their beauty as well as their personalities. I hope I did that in this sneak peek. Again, this is only a handful of many fantastic shots, it was so hard to pick a sneak peek.

Quick Sneak Peek

I met up the with N-family on Sunday night and I promised I would get sneaks up soon, well being back to work this week and commiting to the PTO at my son's school, I was not able to get all of my favs edited, but I wanted K to have a little taste of what is to come. Here are a couple of my buddy Jack, my girl Kennedy and their wonderful parents too.

Sweet Girl

I met up with another little girl named Jayda today! She has the cutest blonde curls and has an adorable smile. She was not ready to flash me her smile at first, but through our session she started to open up and at the end she didn't want to leave :) I love that! Her mom and I work together and we have done several shoots together in the past, so it is always great to have returning customers and to see their children grow, that is the best thing about being a photographer! A and J hope you enjoy your sneak peek, I just love to photograph your little girl!
