..Gracie, Courtney, & Emerson..

I only have 2 words to say about these girls....KNOCK-OUTS! Seriously they are all so dang cute, EXTREMELY photogenic, all blue eyed beauties & blonde hair! I had such a blast with these little girls, I guess I'm not used to being around older kids since my oldest is only 4--these girls are 8 years old and it was amazing to me how mature they were for their age. Emersons mom dropped them all off at my house, the girls and I jumped in my car and we went for ice cream for the shoot! It was a little chilly...poor Emerson about froze to death while she was eating her ice cream but at least it was sunny and you'd never know it was cold because they did such a good job containing their shivers haha!! Courtney had to leave early to go stay with her dad for the weekend so we missed her for the end shots but Emerson and Gracie totally killed it, they all turned out exactly how I imagined this shoot!! Thanks girlies for a fun few hours, you're all beautiful. Hope you enjoy these pictures.

..I can't decide..

which one I like better...what do you think? I'm entering some photos in a contest and I'm really torn between these two pictures so give me your opinion on which version you like best!

..Just Eryka..

I feel bad because I hardly ever make the time to grab my camera and just take random pictures of my girls anymore, especially since it was something I used to do every single day. So I promised myself today that as soon as Eryka got home from pre-school that I would stop my day to day tasks and take some pictures of them. I will do Camry too but she is napping at the moment so we'll do her tomorrow. I feel like the last year just flew right on by and next thing I know my girls are getting bigger and bigger, it's rather depressing for me. My goal is to get pictures of each of my girls at least once a week, hopefully more! So until I get Camrys pictures...enjoy my sweet Eryka's for today.

..Clara & Eliza..

These two little girls are going to be heartbreakers when they get older. I was SOOO excited when their mom called and asked if I could do their pictures because let's be honest--they are only two of the cutest girls on the street. Wendy[the mom] wanted to do Eliza's one year old pictures and wasn't going to do Clara's, but she just loves her pictures taken and asked if she could have hers done too--who can resist THAT? Wendy and I got quite a work out trying to keep Eliza in one place, to even look at the camera, and keeping the hat on. The hat thing wasn't happenin' she kept ripping it off and trying to put it back on BY HERSELF, thankfully I was fast enough and at least got some with the hat on, she may not be posing but hey--at least it's ON!

This scowl of Eliza's is HILARIOUS. This was the ONLY picture I was able to get of her actually doing it. She gave me a good scowl right as she walked in the door, but I guess she warmed up too fast because we had a heck of a time trying to get her to do it again. This is actually a pretty mild scowl too, she's got some death glares.

I'll bet ya can't guess how old she is!!

..Eliza..

I had to hurry and post this before I headed to bed, it is now mid-night and I'm running low on energy and my eyes feel like sand paper, so I'm pretty sure it's time for me to hit the sack. This was one of my absolute favorite pictures from this session. I will get more pictures up of this adorable little girl and her older sister tomorrow!

..More of Tyrell & Whitney..

Here are more pictures of that fabulously photogenic couple. My husband and I went to school with Ty, so it was really fun to get together with these two and catch up again!! I had tons and tons of fun with these two this weekend...too much fun I think because I have got WAAYY too many pictures to sort through. I hope you like them, let me know what you think.

..Tyrell & Whitney..

I am still in the process of editing this session and I ran acrossed these two and thought I'd take a break and post these really quick. The first one is pretty funny, we found this shopping cart just hangin' out on the street corner so Whitney jumped in and ha well...it was just hilarious! I was laughing so hard watching them I just about forgot to put the camera up and take some pictures. As soon as I get the rest finished I'll post more, until then...have a good night!

..A Few More..

..Sammy & TJ..

For some reason my internet is only letting me upload these three pictures. There are more to come, and don't worry Sarah we got plenty of colorful ones! Sammy and my oldest Eryka play together a lot, infact Sarah is Eryka's pre-school teacher. I have been so excited to take these two cuties pictures, TJ remindes me of the little gerber baby and at 9 months...he is extremely active. He wasn't at all interested in looking at the camera, all he wanted was to play with the rubber basketball that he'd see rolling around the floor every now and again (whatever keeps them happy right?!). Sammy is old enough to understand what I'm trying to tell her, so she did great--even in the snow (she got bribed a few times with fruit snacks) Thanks for coming over and I hope you like the few I've been able to post. I'll work on getting more up later!
