Time goes by so fast

It is so hard to imagine that my little baby is now 5!

Happy Birthday Poptart!!!

We love you!

Taking a mini break from blogging

I just wanted to let you all know that I’m taking  just a wee bit of a break from blogging. I don’t want you all to think I fell off the face of the earth. March is going to be a very very busy time for me, so never fear…portraits will be abounding.

 

<3

God Bless you all and see you in March!

Flowers and Hope of new life

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world.  ~Virgil A. Kraft

Spring has to be by far my most favorite season. I really could do without the snow, the cold temps, the staying inside for what seems like forever! lol

Spring to me reminds me of the new birth. Everything is new, clean, fresh. So, when “E” and I went for a small walk, you can imagine my joy at finding that my lilacs had buds on them. I do hope that the still cold temps don’t kill them. Lilacs are my favorite flowers.

The pictures of the red and white flower are just random and thought I would throw them in here too.

My niece celebrates her 17th Birthday today. I can’t believe how fast time flies. My nephew celebrated his 15th on Saturday. Here are some random shots from her party from last night.

The life of a little girl

Ahh the life and creativity that my little one possesses. She really is so interesting. One moment she can be karate chopping her dad and telling him that she wants to wrestle, the next moment she gets her “girl on” and she’ll talk real sweetly and put make-up on and dresses. She really is something.

I got my natural brown seamless paper yesterday so you know I HAD to try it out. E is my every faithful model as of late and I so appreciate it.

A peek of spring

I bought these flowers the other day to use at some point for a shoot. My little one decided that they needed to be in a vase.

Last night we actually got to have our front door open to let in some of the spring like air. It was wonderful. I loved how the fading sun hit the flowers, so I couldn’t resist.

Valentine’s Dance

“B”  went to her schools Valentine’s Dance last night. Many of you on here have already seen her dress. Anyway, yesterday our beautician came to our house and did her hair. Then we went and got her friend, “A” and brought her over for supper and for them to get dressed together. “B” also wanted me to take studio type pictures of the two of them. Who am I to say no, right? Besides, “A” was a fresh face. :p

After that “B”‘s boyfriend and “A”s date came to pick her up. What a nice guy.

She really had a good time.

She wasn't smiling for me...she was taking a picture of herself with the webcam. LOL

"A" is very shy........

Isabella

I wanted to post one picture of the little angel. She is the youngest of 5. The older four are all boys, so she is going to be the princess of the bunch. She is so so cute! It is so obvious that her big brothers are going to protect her no matter what. The older two boys were so attentive to her and wanted to hold her. You’ll see some lifestyle photos of the boys with their sister. Tabitha, I wanted to thank you for letting me in your house and moving your dining room around to get the studio portion of these. Isabella really is a princess. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Making an igloo

On Sunday, it was warm enough to get out and do some playing in all the snow that we had. E’s Grandma J bought her a snowsuit, which is awesome by-the-way. E really really loved it. She played out in the snow with her daddy for a long time. Anyway, we started out by trying to make a snowman, then soon decided that an igloo would be fun. Of course, my poor husband did most if not all of the work. He is such a great husband and daddy. Here are some of the pictures from Sunday. If you are on Facebook, I posted two videos from that day as well.
