Ryan {Happy 1st Birthday}

Happy 1st Birthday to this sweet little boy!!!  He was a little unsure about having his pictures taken and he did everything in his power to NOT smile!  He gave me the funniest looks but seemed to warm up to me more when I pulled out the balloons and giant lollipop, then he was all smiles...until he dropped the lollipop!  He was just too stinking adorable and I'm excited to photograph his upcoming birthday party and watch him eat his cake!!

Little Rylie Roo - Children Photography

My little neice Rylie recently turned the big number 4!!!  Of course I had to take some pictures of how big she is getting.  Can hardly believe she is getting so big so fast and will be a big sister again in July.  Love the collage of photos at the end of the post that show her extremely goofy personality!!!  Love her to pieces!

Sassy Sabina - Children Photography

Sabina is your typical spunky and sassy two year old!!  She was so much fun to take pictures of.  She has such a sweet and innocent face.  She also has the most captivating smile

and contagious giggle!!

Our Family Photos

I know I didn't take these pics, BUT my wonderful sister-in-law did and then I edited them so I was part of the process :)  Just had to share these pictures of my beautiful family.  They turned out really good and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family.  Each of my children are such a tremendous blessing in my life and I am so grateful to be married to me very best friend!!!  We always have so much fun together and the kids got so excited when I pulled out the mustaches.  We had a lot of giggling going on!

Crazy Fun - Family Photography

So today my family and I had our Family Photos done.  My sister-in-law offered to take them at a park that we love.  In exchange for taking ours, she wanted me to take their family photos.  So we all headed down to the park.  While she took our pictures my brother and the kids wandered the park.  Well to make a long story short, after we were done, they realized they had left the bag with my nieces' outfit at home. (She was asleep when they left so she was still in her jammies)  They really wanted a picture for their Christmas cards, so we went back to their house and did an impromptu photo shoot.  The lighting wasn't perfect, but hey its for a Christmas card!  They loved the mustaches we used in our pictures so it ended up being really fun and everyone was in a very goofy mood, which made for some hilarious pictures. Now they can send out their Christmas cards and we can schedule a family photo shoot for after the holidays.
