july special - maternity+newborns!

This offer good for sessions booked by August 31st 2010.

hayli + leyton

Last week, when we photographed these two, it was blazing hot. Like "Let's avoid the sun at all costs hot." But these two were troopers! They didn't like the grass but we got them to try it at least for a minute or two! 

These is the face every little boy gives at first... We have to really work to get them to smile, but eventually Leyton showed me his real smile so its worth the wait! :)

I'm in love with this picture...

Hayli and Leyton with their MiMi. :) No idea how to spell that, but you get the point!

Gorgeous little Hayli...My favorite from the day of her...

I love this because he just did this on his own, just wanted to show me how much he loved his sister...and if you have boys, you know that this is RARE. So I'm glad I caught it! 

bella + sophia

These two girls stole my heart with their pretty little eyes and pudgy little legs...

Meet Bella...

and Sophia...

These twin girls were not only gorgeous, but the sweetest too. I love the serious faces, soo sooo sweet on a baby...but smiles are always good too! :)

Grandpa's have all the secrets of the world...

even the secrets of love... :)

Only when they look down can you really tell that they are twins...

Belinda and Billy certainly have their hands full! 

and the last two are my (Haley's) favorites...

product love: canvas prints

our friends nikki and elary ordered this lovely canvas being shipped off in the post today... I'm thinking we need one for our house too! :) We wish we could wrap ourselves up and send us to Vegas too!

oh...and...

ansley + kinsey

Last year, when I photographed these girls, Kinsey barely had her front tooth and Ansley was shy and didn't want anything to do with taking pictures until right at the end. This year, it was a whole new ball game! They were running around playing at full speed, but I had a blast chasing after them! :)   

doesn't this just melt your heart? I'm just in love with this image!

I just can't get enough of these girls! I'm so happy to be able to document them growing up!

#25 and #73! Check and Check!

So if you follow our blog, you know that I am working to complete my 101 in 1001 list!  Well - this weekend, I checked off two of those things! First, #73 - To make Jelly from something that I picked myself!  Daryl's mom, Sharon, and I went Friday to pick some fresh plums for the yummy jelly that she makes! She's pretty amazing at this kinda stuff so I knew she would be the one to show me the ropes! And here is how it went! 

These trees were dripping with beautiful yellow plums! Doesn't it look like an orange tree!?

We cut the plums up and cooked them up according to the recipe...

and then....the cutest JELLY you will see today! :)

We also picked blueberries! (Number #25 on the list!) They were huge and beautiful!

And this is what Scout looks like when she is begging for blueberries. It's pitiful huh?
