a fond farewell

We have adopted these precious little girls! Not literally, but in our hearts for sure! So, it was such an honor when they asked me to do a Farewell Memphis shoot for their family! Oh Robinsons, how we love and miss you! Hope your new city knows just how lucky they are to have you!

This beautiful bride and her handsome groom are getting married in October. I was thrilled to capture a few shots of them at the locale for their rehearsal dinner--a rustic barn so amazing on the inside (and out)--it has the perfect ambiance for an intimate and fun evening! But enough about the locale. This couple was so adorable to shoot--not quite sure what to do, but once they figured it out, they were completely absorbed in each other. See what I mean??

Priceless! And little sister and future BIL, we pray that lasts forever and ever, Amen!

Meet Baby "J"

Check out the cheeks on little "J"!! He is definitely storing up for winter! He's normally such a smiler, but was serious at the beginning of the shoot. It only took his big brother to walk out to produce adorable smiles!!

I bet he NEVER gets squeezed or kissed at home!!!

Jenny--he's precious and such a trooper sitting in the dewy grass!! Loved snapping away with your little man!

beach fun!

Aahhhhhhhhhh, there's nothing like the beach, at least our little family thinks so!

sweet birthday present

For my birthday this year, all I could think that I really wanted from my boys was for them to let me take them (with sunny attitudes) on a photo shoot! My birthday arrived and it was pouring down rain, so a week later, we went for it! However, because M still takes a morning nap, the time of day wasn't great for wide eyes--everyone was squinty for sure! So, I worked with it and we found another spot with some ambiance and think I have some great shots of my boys! Thank you, precious family!

strreeetchh!

It's People's Choice week over at I Heart Faces this week. I couldn't resist putting up this sweet, smushy, stretching face! I love this little angel!

I sure do wish I was laying right here again right about now. . .

rockin' the red

I had a fun little red-themed photo shoot today! The boys were quite cooperative and with plenty of candy to bribe them, I was able to get some sweet shots! Here's little M rockin' his red and lots of baby drool!

i heart this face!

My sweet L has been begging to have his face on my camera lately and I love it! He's often making crazy faces, trying to have the "fiercest" face, like a shark. So after indulging him today, I managed to get a few with his sweet smile and a "heart" for this week's photo challenge over at I Heart Faces.

I sure do heart this face!

blowing raspberries

I want to eat M up everyday! Guess what? I do!!!!!!! I love his new ability to blow raspberries and he is quite entertained by his new trick too! This is my Day #14 pic. I am also entering this into the I Heart Faces photo challenge this week---it's for Best Faces in January. I adore this face and couldn't resist entering!

365

So my last post was in July of last year. Yikes! I had good intentions with this blog, but I ended up adding favorite photos to my family blog and just never added to this niche here. This year, I hope to do better. I'm challenging myself to a 365 photo project. Taking a photo a day to capture all the goings on around us. I've actually missed a few days already because I hadn't quite committed to the project yet, but since it's a personal goal--one I've taken on to make a photo book at the end of the year and one for practice, I'm okay with it. I may decide to find a way to put all of my photos from this project as thumbnails here, but for now, I will add this pic, because I love it. Every morning L wakes up, he has messy bed head. Every morning his Daddy makes magic with his hair. They go to a sink and L gets doused with water. They tease and joke around with crazy styles, but L always comes away looking like he left a salon!
