girl power

Thank God the world did not end this weekend! Here is a tribute kindly sent to me by my Mom :)

These little girls gave me chills!
(ages 8, 7, 7, 6, and 6)

Maybe someday Miss Austyn will be doing something like this ;)

natures beauty

Bare with me... I took wayyyy too many photos of my tulips the other day. I was playing with the settings on my camera... thanks Mom for being my personal tutor... and then put my 70-300 mm lens on to get a few shots from a distance and man... they are SO beautiful... I couldn't stop! 

I'm also quite certain anyone driving by caught a "glimpse" of my back side while squatting to get up close and personal with these darn tulips!

Enjoy! :)

Princess Austyn Marie

There is no doubt in my mind this little girl will be famous some day. She loves everything princess. She loves to dance. She loves to sing. She loves mini pom pons. And most of all she loves dresses! You have NO idea how much thought is put into clothing this child daily for school during the winter. Coordinating heavy tights with dresses and skirts sometimes drives me batty! But to see her smile when she has her dress or skirt on just makes me giddy :) and those blue, blue eyes don't help arguments either. Here's to a beautiful, determined, very adorable, now 6-year-old girl...

Happy Birthday Austyn Marie!

adorable Rory

I feel like my posts lately have all started "a couple weeks ago"... and I can't claim that I'm not procrastinating on this blog... I'm just behind. Story of my life.

Anyway...

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph another newborn. Man, I just love newborns. They are definitely my weakness. I'm in love with this little gal's name... Rory. SO cute. Here are some from her "photo shoot." I'm still not sure I'm comfortable calling these sessions photo shoots... makes my "photography" slightly official... maybe...
