This girl rocks.   Not gonna lie, I’m sad she’s moving away to college!   I’ve lost her sister to New Saint Andrews and now Kelsey’s headed there as well.   Both girls have been such awesome babysitters to my kids, but I guess they’re allowed to move on :) .  All the best in these last few weeks of high school Kels!   Have tons of fun on the DC trip…  !

Oh, and you’re gorgeous.  FYI.

Off to a family session in the sun this evening, lovin’ this gorgeous weather!

He’s here!  Welcome Elias, you are so loved!   Not to be forgotten anytime soon, this little man arrived into this world fast and furious…   and stole the heart of his mom instantly (and the rest of us too!).   Such a sweet little boy, and so blessed to have an amazing, beautiful and loving mom.   Congrats on his arrival, M&E.  We are rejoicing with you, and the many blessings God has granted you with all of your children.  Love you guys!

 

Esther, you’re gorgeous.  For reals.

Senior mini session up next!

Such a cute, fun little family.   I had a blast following Taylor around, and chasing her down :) .   We started at Boulevard Park and ended up in Fairhaven, I’m sure you locals will recognize most of our locations.  Thanks for having me, you guys…  it was so awesome to meet you!  Enjoy :)

Thanks for looking!  :)

Had so, so much fun with this senior session.  Sarah is a gorgeous, fun-loving cheerful girl and a true joy to be around.  I’ve so enjoyed getting to know her over the past couple of months coaching her volleyball team.  She’s always the one cheering the team on, even in the not-so-great moments and I really appreciate her encouraging words and attitude!    She was a natural behind the camera and our session was so easy and relaxed, with lots of laughs.  Love my job!

Sarah, you are stunning.  Beautiful inside and out.  All the best with your last couple months of high school (EVER!! WOOT!) and as you begin a new chapter in your life.  God bless!

Hottie!

Love how her scarf matches her eyes exactly!

More to come on the blog soon – some newborn sweetness and some families!

8 years ago tomorrow marks the day I became a mom.   Seems like just yesterday, but it also seems like forever ago.  One thing for sure is, everyday I am reminded of how truly blessed I am – even on those days when I want to pull my hair out (and maybe even everyone else’s too)!

First, my sweet, sweet baby girl turned one (what?!) earlier in the month.   It took a few weeks to be able to get out and take her pics thanks to the stomach flu that hit all 6 of us and then some seriously rainy, yucky weather.  In the end it worked out perfectly and I could take both girls birthday photos together on a beautiful sunny springy morning.   The relationship between my girls is one that makes me feel all fuzzy inside everytime I see them together.  They both adore eachother, for real, not just some of the time – but all the time.  I think the age gap helps for that…  Lucy’s too little and cute to irritate Maddy (yet) and Maddy’s old enough to know not to irritate Lucy.  They share a room and once in a while Lucy’s still awake when Maddy comes to bed – and if so…  Lucy’s standing up trying her hardest to make Maddy laugh.  So. cute.   In the morning when Maddy rolls out of bed she’s usually a little…  well…  let’s just say groggy.  Not a morning person.  But, if anything can make her smile, it’s Lucy!   Lucy is a walking, talking, rambunctious, happy-go-lucky toddler (yikes!).

Maddy has become a caring, kind, sensitive young lady who is truly a pleasure to be around.  She’s generally quiet, but likes to join in on goofy fun too.  She is such a blessing to our family, and such a big help for me.  Having her around is so handy, whether it be to help with Lucy, or help with dishes or other chores…   sometimes I have to remember not to take advantage too much of her (usually) willing nature!    Seeing her grow and mature has been such a pleasure, and as we get closer to the preteen and teenage years I am trying to focus on the now and not the future – cause that whole deal makes me nervous!   God has brought us this far, certainly He’ll be there for those years too :) .

Anyway, on to the pics.  I’m supposed to be packing for our trip, but these pics have been begging me to be edited – so once this is done it’s back to work.   Enjoy!

Baby girl first.

My pretty 8 year old!

cutest. girls. ever.

Happy spring!
