a few before I go

I love holiday weekends.  I like turning them into reeeaaallllyyy long weekends and much needed family vacations :)  So tomorrow we're off, a little 6 (or 8, or maybe 9) hour car ride (with kids you just never know!) up to Rosemary Beach fur a little fun, sun (umm, anyone else sick of the three solid days of rain yet?!) and sand between our toes.  I can't wait.  My grandmother asked me last night if I'd be leaving my camera at home, you know, since I wouldn't be working for a few days.  HA!  Silly grandma, don't you know that I hardly take photos of my own kids and I use vacation time to totally make them hate me and my camera?!  So with that, I let everyone know that I will be checking email and voicemail periodically; will be officially back to work next Wednesday.  I hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

And oh yes, no post is complete without photos... these just make me happy :)

well hello there

He was eager to see the world around him, not so much into sleeping.  Quite content with a little stare so serene.  Almost makes me want another.  *almost* :)

He did finally give in for a few :)

paradise

I fell in love with their neighborhood.  I'd been there many times as a kid, but it's been years since.  They have their own private spring, a little beach area, and gorgeous surroundings.  What kid wouldn't want to grow up there?  So fun that we did their photos there, something for them to remember later in life.  Such a sweet family, I loved photographing them.

one of these days...

I will get caught up on my blog posts :)  I met this little cutie at my Lulu Belle mini sessions last fall.  She's so sweet.  It was fun to see them as a family, so much love.  

 

the faces I make

Another little sneaky peek of some seriously cute kiddos :)  

I can only imagine what I look like to those in front of my camera.  When working with the little ones, you do whatever it takes.  So many of my lovely parents just humor me and kindly never tell me how ridiculous I look.  The kids, well, sometimes they show me right back just how silly I am.  I'll admit, it makes me laugh :)

I love these little faces even more....can you hear her squealing?!!  Ahhh, I love that sound.

beautiful girls - sneaky peek

It's been a little crazy since I got back, but full of fabulous sessions with the most beautiful kiddos.  Oh, I can not wait to share all of them!  I met these beautiful girls about a year and a half ago.  I was so excited to see them again.  Just a few little sneak peeks for mom, since it is Mother's Day and all :)  I  have sooo many good images of these two.  It's hard to take a bad photo of them.  I'll have to share more after their gallery is done, they're too cute!
