Watch out Cover Girl!

Wow, look at these two gorgeous sisters!! The long blond hair, the deep blue eyes, and awesome personalities to boot; they were a blast to photograph. Just look at that sophisticated but genuine smile on Delaney, the oldest. And how about Agatha's mischievous grin! Although they say they are quite different I saw more similarities than differences. They both seem to love to have fun, in a good natured and fun loving way. They seem to adore each other although claim to fight often, maybe it's too cool to like your sister at this age :) I loved watching them together and would love even more to hang with them for a day, I think I could learn so much about how to have fun!

. Thanks, girls, for spending time with me. I will photograph you ANY TIME, you were fantastic!

Oh tiny little baby...



Oh my goodness this sweet little baby made me ache for another one, well, almost ... This is Ewan, 2 weeks old at the time of our session. He was so amazing and sweet, I didn't want to stop taking pictures of him :) (Thanks, Mom, for letting me stay for so long!). As he lay on the soft white rug facing the window for the first images he was so content, he just grunted his little baby grunts and gazed out the window in awe. His eyes were so wide I wanted to see what it was he was seeing, cause surely it was something miraculous by the way he just stared. He has gorgeous blue eyes that soaked up the light so well they twinkled. He seems like an old soul, like he's wise beyond his mere two weeks.
. I learned from Mama that Ewan's grandpa passed just a week before he was born. Maybe it was Grandpa he was gazing at out that window, cause there's no way Grandpa would miss a sight such as that tiny little one.
. Thanks Mama, for letting me into your home. Although our session was short, it felt like we were old friends :)







Stephanie & Nate





Not only was this a fun and silly engagement session, it was a family affair :) Both of Stephanie's parents were present as well as Nate's mom. Stephanie and Nate joked that they weren't a mushy couple; that may be true but you could sure tell that they adore each other. It's clear the entire family has been and will be close for many years to come. This will be a happily ever after for sure.
Congratulations Stephanie and Nate! And congrats to your lucky families as well.

Andrea







This little sweet thing is very dear to me, even though I've spent very little time with her. Her grandparents are my neighbors and are the best neighbors one could ask for! You know the kind - snowblowing my driveway before I can get out there, shoveling rock for my landscaping, and even buying Christmas presents for my 2 girls every year. So because I adore them I adore this sweet little girl. Oh, and another thing - C & P's grown kids are always coming home to visit - how cool is that!?! I truly think that's a tribute to the kind of parents they are. I hope my kids love me as much when they are grown!
Anyways this little Andrea was long awaited by her doting grandparents. I remember following Mama's pregnancy through them. And oh is Mama a good one, just look at the two of them together. They are in love; it's wonderful to view a love like that.
I can't wait to watch you grow, Andrea. Keep up that stubborn streak, girl (she wanted NOTHING to do with the camera) - it will do you good some day!
