Sneak peek.... Sassy Miss M is 1 year old!!

... sorry Dad, had to do it after all that "Sassy Miss M" talk....


We had some GORGEOUS November weather here today! I was thinking back to her first photo session with me back when she was a wee little thing and it was horribly cold and windy that day... luck was definitely on our side a year later. Delicious coffee was present on both occassions... I love coffee drinkers. :)

Here she was one year ago...

and today....



can't believe i almost forgot 2 family members, sorry jack and stella....

Sneak peek... Mr. D, 8 days old...

it's been a while since i had a feisty newborn, i was getting quite smug in my newborn techniques. ;) this little one was wide awake and ready to party!

this was the little guy when i arrived, super alert and aware of his surroundings...

after a while, we were able to get him to sleep for a short time... with the help of mom filling him up and dad taking him for a couple trips around the block! :) seriously, this little one wasn't going down without a fight- all of the shushing and rocking and swaying didn't even phase him.

all in all, i got some great shots of the little peanut... and like i tell my boys ALL the time, "it's a good thing you're so handsome..." and in his case, sweet smelling and mini and perfect... because everyone loves you just the same, even if you scream all day long. :)

11 month old "big brother" tyson was not amused...



ps- i hope little man tired himself out so you guys could enjoy the bears game in peace. :)

HELLO fall weather, where've ya been all my life??

I was so worried about the weather for today because this Mom was so on top of her stuff contacting me during the summer to set up a fall session. Since we have been having such a yucky fall, it wasn't looking good for any outdoor photos. Luckily, we had a lovely morning and were able to explore a bit outside! I thought the whole fall/farm/barn theme meshes together nicely... and the colors Mom chose for their outfits worked out perfectly.

It was great to finally meet you guys today! Your boys were SO good- they really did earn that treat at the end. :)Of course I couldn't leave without including the family pooch! :) Here's his first official doggie portrait...
