{ Jones Family }

I love this family...I loved this session...I love these girls! They are SO precious...and so is their mama BTW.
Tammy makes me belly laugh at least every day; our humor is creepily parallel; and our duel love of everything 80s is like karma...so I couldn't say no to someone who is OBVIOUSLY so cool! Thank goodness that I think her kids like me now too...cause I would sure be dissappointed if I didn't get to see my little peeps again! (PS - Dad, you're pretty awesome too.) I had a fabulous time with each and every one of you!

{ Ault Family }

I met the beautiful Ault family in Highland Park this morning for their family session...and I am SO STOKED that the azaleas were in full bloom for their special day! If you haven't made the drive through...take the time...they're only in bloom for about 2 weeks and then they're gone for another year...so get going!

The first thing Emma said when she saw these images today was..."That's my little Ashlynn! I love her!" :)
I hope you guys like the pics as much as Emma and I do, cause we think you're the bomb...and such an oh so cute and sweet family! Thanks for the awesome session!

{ Luke - 1 Year }

It's so much fun to watch those little babies I get to see at just a few days old grow into little people! Luke is one of those...and I just love his personality. He is DEFINITELY all boy, with a capital B! :)

And with a little brother on the way, mama's gonna have her hands full...with a capital F too! But I bet mom and dad wouldn't trade this little boy for the whole world! :)

I can't WAIT to watch the next McClure boy grow into as handsome a young man as Mr Luke...the first image is my FAV - hands down! D





~It is Easter...And He is Risen!~

{ Monsoon...Gebhardt }

I say that because just as our session started it came a gully-washer...as my Mummer used to say...:) But these sweet, fun and daring people graciously accepted the weather challenge for their family pictures.

And, when everything calmed down, the daylight was beautiful and all of the colors were so bright and pretty...this actually turned out to be one of my favorite spring sessions so far...and I'm SURE it didn't have ANYthing to do with this georgous little girl! ;) I had a great time, and I hope we all meet again soon!

{ Watkins Crew }

OK - so a HUGE 'ol shout out goes to my awesome friend Paige for cluing me into the Watkins Family!
Love them...love their kids...TOO photogenic...and oh, so much fun!
We had a great little play date yesterday afternoon in the beautiful sunshine in my charming little hometown and snapped some great little images to boot!

My previews from the weekend are D.O.N.E....and date night with my husband and Jack Bauer is on the horizon! I'm out! :)

{ Madelynn's Family }

My sessions on Saturday were WAY big on wind...and the sweetest little girls!

Madelynn...simply adorable! Such a pretty and sweet family to work with...I love it when a session just FEELS right and everything seems to go just as we wanted it to. Sometimes there can be alot of anxiety asociated with children's session because of how unpredictable they can be...smiles, behavior, non-stained clothing, even little face scratches or nose boogies! :) So sometimes I spend a little time reassuring them that everything is 'A-OK'. So here's to an awesomely patient mom and dad...see...it's all A-OK!

I don't know which one I like more...Madelynn practicing her ballerina positions...or Madelynn and Pooh...:)

{ Hannah's Family }

I got to know the awesome Hannah last year as just a little baby...so when she WALKED up to me on Saturday, I almost couldn't believe it! She is one of the most beautiful and sweet little girls. Her big blue eyes, rosey cheeks and sweet expressions remind me of one of those little dolls I always wanted my uncle to win me on the Midway at the Fair...just THAT cute!

Now, I had the honor of meeting the great people responsible for mom and dad...the grandparents. I would like to have these four apply to be my surrogates, cause you can definitely tell who's the love of their lives...Miss Hannah! And, why not!?

Even after a windy relocation and some hair magic...this special family on this treasured occasion...they are still beautiful! Thank you for a great time and letting me be a part of your moment ~ D

{ Happy Birthday Kate! }

Well, were a little late this year due to the birth of my own Miss Audrey...but better late than never, right?
It's been a long week of illness at the Perkins house this week...so I was WAY relieved to get out into the fresh air and sunshine for a sweet birthday niece! I still can't believe how grown up she looks; ahhhh, it seems like just yesterday Emma was naming you...Happy Birthday Baby Kate :)

{ Mac - Part II }

I love the feeling B/W images convey...they remind me of looking through my Grandaddy's old photos from the 30s and 40s. I can look at them and just imagine the lives of the people in the image and what it must have been like to be...well, them! Sometimes they tell a story more than technicolor...:)
Here are some of my favorite B/W images from Mac's Newborn Session on Saturday...Enjoy!
