…the way she giggles with my dad.

…cool evenings perfect for sliding.

…freshly laundered sheets, blowing in the breeze (and my new clothespins from etsy.  these, too)

…the excitement that overtakes her when we are outside.

…treasure troves, made by little hands.

Sigh.  I *heart* Spring.

What are YOUR favorite things about Spring?  Do tell

This is a newborn from 3 weeks ago… the parents have seen their full gallery now, so I can finally post some more of my favorites

Don’t you just love her name, by the way?  So perfectly sweet.

Remember this session?  Well, they had their little bambino a week and a half ago…and she is so precious!  I was so excited to see she had lots of dark blonde hair.  She was such a tiny little thing…only 6 1/2 # when I photographed her.  As much as I love chubby newborns, there’s something so sweet about a petite little newbie :)  Here’s a little peak for the new mom & dad.  Hope you 2 are getting more sleep than you were when I was there

This is my favorite shot from the whole session so far!  I could not believe how much she was smiling!  This was right after he kissed her nose…so sweet

I love finding things around the client’s house to use…so neat to think that someday she’ll look back on this and know that was in the house where she grew up

Whew!  That was a lot of favorites!  I’m off to take a quick nap while I can - other session images later!

what a sweetie pie!  i got to photograph this lil guy when he was just 7 months old, and now he’s a walking, talking 1 year old!  i can’t believe how much he has changed since I saw him last. 

enjoy the peak d&k! 

newborn sneak peek coming tomorrow…

Just love this one from a session last weekend…this little guy is going to be a big brother in just a few months!  Mom wanted to capture some special moments between the 2 of them before he wasn’t the “baby” anymore.  So glad we did this!

I know, I know…it seems early, but this time last year I was almost completely booked for fall sessions, and I’ve had several inquiries already about what I will be offering this year regarding holiday packages/cards.
