{Banana Pancakes}

No, I am not eating banana pancakes... No, I did not photograph banana pancakes...  BUT I did listen to the song while I was proofing this little fabulous cutie pie's images!  So often, I will sit and proof like a robot.. no music, no nothin... but then I turn on Itunes and it is like a whole new world!  I love how much music can just totally turn a photograph into so much more of an emotional experience than it is already!  Lately I have been listening to One Republic, Rob Thomas and Jack Johnson... with the occasional Colbie Caillat and Feist making an appearance! 

So....  when I look at these 2 pictures I think of wonderful banana pancakes and total joy!

heehee!  Isn't she just so great...

Her gorgeous mommy!  I love it when I get asked to take pictures of the mommy and babies...  That is something that your children will cherish forever!  So often we are so hard on ourselves and don't want to be in pictures... I am guilty of this!!!  Years and years and years from now our children will not care how we looked... they will be so happy that we took the time to actually document that time in our lives.  We will not get these moments back!

So here is a good recipe for a Wednesday evening... after dinner, go turn on your favorite tunes... turn them up!  And dance... everyone in the family...  even those silly pre teens that want nothing to do with that...  even the daddies...  Let it fill you and your family with joy     *       then do it again tomorrow!

Happy day!

{Me... waiving a white flag.....  a really big white flag.....  VERY FAST}

You have got it!  I surrender!  I am so so good at checking other blogs, (yes, I am addicted - especially while proofing!)  but it seems mine suffers in the meantime!  It seemed like such a reasonable goal to blog during the week and then, well, life hit me square in the face - so I am NOT going to vow to blog daily, or even weekly - that way I will not feel guilty when my head hits the pillow!  

I feel better now!  (now you watch.. you won't be able to get me off of here!  LOL)

I have to have to have to dedicate an entire blog post to this wee itty bitty baby.  She is as precious as they come and we got along fabulously!  She is just 8 days old in these and you can totally tell the difference!  These are some of my very favorite newborn images ever!  She was just an absolute perfect little model!!!

wow... doesn't get much sweeter!  

ok i lied.. LOOK at this image!  If this doesn't make you react in such a sweet and wonderful way, I DO NOT know what will!  Look at her sweet hands... look at how peaceful she is... and check out that smile!  Yep...  FABULOUS!  And no, she did not do this on her own, though that WOULD be what I want you to think!  LOL  Her mommy and her -eh hem- photographer- aka "me", coaxed and shushed and lovingly guided her just where we wanted her!  But shhhhh!  Keep it a secret!

Her hair is absolute GREATNESS!  I LOVE it so much and think she is just the coolest!  Her beautiful eyes made an appearance, too!

ok, do you want one yet?

SUCH the proud big brothers!  And LOVIN the new backdrop!

This cracks me up... you have to hear why though!  Do you know WHY they are so excited??!?!?  She OPENED her eyes!  Oh my goodness, is that not the most absolute perfect thing coming out of two new big brothers to an absolute divine little girl!  I just love that!  If we all got so excited about such *what we think to be* small things, think about how much joy we would all have in our lives!

That is all for now.  I am thinkin I will put together a wedding slideshow for my next post...  but I am not telling you WHEN that will be!  You will just have to check back!  LOL

Have a fabulous night!

{play time-mommy style}

Very short on words... need to run out the door to get my dancer...  but had to post - gotta get today's in!!!  

Mommy got a new lens, a new light diffuser, and made a new backdrop! (and yes, I am a tad bit excited!)  The little guy was willing to let me play, so I thought I would share...  

ummmm yep!  i think i will keep them all!  especially my little dude!  

isn't that background the coolest?!?!  i haven't cropped it down yet so you can see more of the "look".  i have had this on my list for a while now and finally got it moved to the top with all my stuff i have coming up!  i love it!!!  it will be totally rockin!

have a good night!!!

{gasp!}

well....  i didn't do it!  I promise I do have so so many good reasons, but I will spare you of a long and crazy recap of my past few days!!!  I missed out on my week of blogging....  I will have to take another go at it!  BUT this time, I am thinking I am going to make a realistic goal for myself...  and perhaps some structure to my blog posts will be in the works... hmmmm I will have to think on that one!  For now, I am going to attempt to blog during the week... so 5 days.  That is pretty workable I think!  

And look at some of you leaving me some love!  I love the comments!  Keep them coming!  It's great to not just be sitting here talking to myself!  LOL  I really am quite a social person!  ;0)

Let's get some seniors up on the blog, shall we?

First up, a super awesome gymnast that I had SO much fun with!  We did a bit of the wet hair look that is so cool...

she has really amazing eyes!

i just love it when we get to play with their cars!

LOVE her prom dress!!!

Perfection....

bringin out a bit of the model that is in there!

isn't she gorgeous...

*heeheehee* i big puffy heart my polaroid!!!

So that is all for now.  I will be back tomorrow!

Have a great night!

True sneaks for 2 sweet mommies!  Happy early Mother's day!!!

There are so many I could choose from both of these sessions, but these two caught my eye while looking through them!

this little girl just melts my heart... she is SO sweet!

This sweet sweet baby is 8 weeks old!!!!!  Can you believe we got sleepy curly images at 8 weeks!  Just call me the baby whisperer!  LOL  ACTUALLY mom knew just what to do to keep this little doll asleep!  ;)  It is her first mommies day and she is already a pro!

I can't decide if I like this one better in black and white or color... what do you think?  ;0)  (how do you tell me?  add a comment!!!  LOL)

Nothing else for now....  will be back tomorrow!

{just two...}

Because I am limited on time and there is no way that I am not going to make my goal!

AND because these two love birds were such a joy to work with!!!

i really really love this shot.  sometimes, ok, so it is more often than not, i get this idea and quite often people look at me like i have absolutely lost my mind and then they see the shot and they get what i saw!  i love that!  i am so fortunate to have such amazing clients who let me bring those visions to reality!

aren't they so so cute!?!?!

5 for 5.....  woohoo!  

have a great weekend!  check back in tomorrow... i will be here!

{sittin is a good thing!}

When I know I have a 6-7 month old coming up I am SO pumped!  I love this age.  It is truly a fabulous time when the little people cannot really move and are *almost* always full of super fun smiles - and when they aren't smilin then their personalities can just shine through.  Love that!

So here are 2 7 month olds I have had within the past couple of weeks.  They are both on my bebe plan and I love when I see them on my schedule!  

i have such a hat thing... ;0)

ahhhh!  i love this!

such a cutie with those big blue eyes!

*hee hee hee*  baby bums are so fabulous!  

ok now seriously - is this not the cutest thing ever...

So I have lost what track of the days... is this 4?  I think that is right!  woohoo!!!  I am well on my way!  

Check back in tomorrow for more!  :0)

{itty bitty}

{........}

Today is one of those days that I am just short on words... not much to say really, just wanted to share.  (shocker, huh!!!! LOL)  All of this rain is making me want to just go climb in bed with a good movie!  I am challenging myself to post EVERY day for a week, then we shall see what happens...  maybe it will just keep goin on!  So here is day one in my journey to daily blogging fabulousness!

hmmm who to start with....   there are so many fun ones to choose from.  I think I will start with a gorgeous senior first.  

you know that whole.. the beach is this way - ok well this is just a little take on that

love this... love the sun flare, love the tree, love that she wanted to climb the tree, love the color, just absolutely LOVE it!

such senior attitude!  work it girl!

greatness...

ok. yeah. not much to say here. gorgeous

So I am going to stop there.  I thought it would be fun to just choose one for each post.  It seems I like to just throw a whole bunch together, which is great, but I also enjoy a nice solo act!  :0)  AND if I make it a bit less complicated, then I am not setting myself up for a blogless day in my journey!

hmmmmm for not having much to say I sure had a lot to say now didn't I?!?!  LOL

Have a fab night!  See you tomorrow!
