So,  I have been told several times that I need to do a blog post!   It has been since Natalie's birthday since my last and that is ALREADY a month ago.  Seriously,  I think I put a mental block on how busy this time of year is for us with softball/ baseball, dance and dance recital, gymnastics, AND trying to keep grades up because there are so many activities going on Whew! Well enough excuses ;)  here is a beautiful newborn that we done several weeks ago but definitely thought she needed her own blog posting for those of you that did not see them on facebook.

Little Anna is just beautiful and was the best sleeper.  I just LOVE those cheeks!

{My Natalie}

My precious sweet baby girl turned 9 last week.  How the years have gone so fast! When we went to visit a good friend of mine Hope another photographer was also visiting which is another friend of mine Melissa.  We went out to play and of course Nattie was our model.  She is so used to having orders barked out to her when in front of the camera  and she does them on command without second thought haha.  You want smiles, serious, or funny she has it.

My little girl is so full of energy it drives me CRAZY sometimes!  She is ALWAYS moving if she is not doing flips she is doing her clogging steps. She can not be still. :)

I always post a few facts about my kids on the birthdays so here are a few of My Natalie
~ you have to wake her very gentle and not push tooo much in the morning or her claws come out.
~ her favorite color is Black (go figure??)
~She paints her fingernails and toenails just about every night and has about 20 different colors.
~She can't wait to get braces.
~when she grows up she want to be a pediatric dentist
~She LOVES to play softball
~ and she loves to write me letters
~ oh, and one more just because this drives me crazy!!  Her room is ALWAYS a disaster!

I love her sooo much and I hope that we can stay best friends.
Now a few from her wild slumber party...... yep I completely lost my mind haha!

Happy Birthday Nattie!

Mommy & Me mini sessions

These sessions can be done in the studio or outdoors.  An update on the dates available.... the only days left open are Thurs. and Friday.  Can't wait to see all the moms and their kiddos  this upcoming week :)

had the cutest dancer come and see me a couple of weeks ago.  She was showing me all her dance moves and twirls.  I would tell her how cute she was and she would tell me "thanks"  in the sweetest southern accent.  LOVED it!

{Happy Birthday BRADY!!!}

I LOVE this kid!  5 years ago he put me through 13 hours of labor and still did not want to come see me.  I should have known how stubborn he was going to be then :). Brady is definitely stubborn but the sweetest little guy ever!  Every morning when I go to wake him up he rolls over on his back and spreads his arms and say "hug mama"  after we hug he flips over on his stomach and says "twickle my back".  He loves to pick my flowers and color me pictures.  I am not sure our refrigerator can hold another one.
Every year I do pictures and I enlarge and frame one for my house.  This year my little man gave me a run!  I kept getting "are we done yet" and the big thrown head back FAKE cheesy smiles. So I tried the bribery of "you can play a motorbike computer game if you let mama get some great pictures!"  All he heard was computer and motorbike game and could care less on mom getting pictures.  So it was a torture game more less I was the one being tortured! :)

OH YEAH!!  all BOY!!!!

Oh but he is just to darn cute when he is wanting to cooperate!

I wanted to interview my little 5 year old and see what he thought :)
Q:  What is your favorite color?
A:  Blue
Q: What is your favorite food?
A: Nunu's  (aka noddles..... he LOVES pasta)
Q:  What do you like to do outside?
A:  Catch bugs and look for rocks.
Q:  What is your favorite movie?
A:  Hook  (which is Peter Pan)
Q:  Is your bedroom Clean?  I wanted to ask this one to see what HE thought..........
A:  Yes mama!    ( and I gave him the "look" and he said "whaaat??")

Do you  think he is done with me??

And now this is the one I enlarged and am having framed.......

Happy BIRTHDAY BRADY!!

I know that this little man's mama is waiting very patiently on me to post a peek of her adorable little man ;)  The problem I have ran into is choosing just ONE while I work on his session.  Goodness that was a job :).  I will have more once I get finished with them.  They are to die for!

Southern Flair Framing and Design already has an order for a frame for this print! (just for me ;)

I feel like I am getting nothing accomplished today........ I am but don't feel like it because i have SO many things going on at one time :).  If you have emailed me in the past week and have not heard back from me please call or email me again.  I have not been getting all my emails for some reason.  Sorry........

I just had to come and post this pic of this beautiful little girl.  I just started working on her session so I am sure there are hundreds more but I think she is just the cutest thing! and I LOVE her red hair!!
