Mudpies and Daisies mini-sessions

I had the most adorable children in the portable studio at Mudpies and Daisies yesterday! Here are some of my favorite captures of the day:

A lot to be thankful for...

This family session was scheduled to take place last Saturday, but poor little Mak became ill in the morning, and vomited on the way to the park, so it was time for plan B. Since Nana and Grampy live several hours away and were visiting only for the long weekend, we decided to try for a Thanksgiving Day session instead. We started at 9am, and although it was dry and sunny, wow, was it ever c.o.l.d.!!!
Don't you just love the fall colors? (Too funny, I just noticed the breath steam coming out of Nana's mouth!!!) :o)

Lovin' me some sun flare:




Thanks for being so patient with me while I got this sneak peek up...it was a fun but busy week here with our own out-of-town guests!

Stuart's beautiful girls

Stuart and Deb brought their three gorgeous girls for family pictures a year ago, and the girls are, if it's possible, even more sweet and beautiful now. I absolutely loved the time we spent together for my first ever beach session, and I hope that Daddy is able to see his lovely ladies while he's away on business (even though the country he's in apparently blocks Blogger...)

Third time's the charm

I always love to see repeat clients, and I love watching the little ones grow. This family first came to me over a year ago for maternity pictures, then again a few months later for Abigail's newborn pictures. Well, today is Abigail's first birthday, and the family came for some new photos.

Lovely Emma is one!!

Check out the smiles on this doll!

Surprise in the mail

Last September I did family pictures for Josh and Krista and their two lovely girls. Next month we're scheduled for another session to update...and can I just say how excited I am to see how much the girls have grown and changed in a year?! Anyway, Krista was having trouble with PayPal, so she sent her session fee to me in the mail, and it arrived today.

Do you see it? That's one of my pictures from last year!

Doesn't it look so adorable as a stamp?! I can't tell you how tickled I was to see this, and I just thought it was so special that she put it on a piece of mail for me to see.

Thanks for making my day, Krista!!

Wednesday...part one

This cute little man came by for his pictures yesterday morning. You may remember Cody from his baby pictures. Well, he's grown a bit since then!

Still as cute as a button:

...and so determined!

Doesn't he look like his mom?

Yesterday afternoon's session will be coming soon...

Liam

This handsome young man stopped in at my studio yesterday, and he brought a belly full of smiles for me!

Curly-haired beauty

Don't you just looooove those curls on little Emily?!! And don't you just adore Stephen's big brown eyes? Thanks so much for bringing your gems in to see me, Sarah...and look...we got a family picture that worked!!!

Portrait Party

This week I had some gorgeous children come through the studio for a portrait party. These were really quick mini-sessions, and we got some great keepers:
