I think we’ve had one sunny day in 3 weeks and this family was lucky enough to schedule their daughter’s session on this beautiful day.  I have so many that I want to share from this session because her mom gave me free rein in choosing the location and she dressed her daughter in Boden – doesn’t get much better than that.  Oh yeah, her unbelievable eyes and fantastic attitude helped a bit too.  

Here’s one for her Daddy – HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn’t lying about her amazing eyes!

This next image is the reason I love doing early evening sessions – beautiful golden sun!

and the many faces of Grace!

Thanks guys – I had a blast!!!!  SIDENOTE:  25 comments on this post gets this family a free 8×10!

I posted newborn pics of this little guy a few weeks ago and wanted to share this story:
Here is baby Dean – cute little bugger, isn’t he????

Well, a month or so before Dean’s due date his mommy & daddy hung this flower basket outside of their front door:

I obviously suck at flower pictures but overlooking that, it’s a nice bunch of flowers, right?  Well, evidently the dove who decided to take up residence in the flower pot thought so too. If you look you can just see her peaking out of the top of the basket.  When Dean’s mommy & daddy left for a scheduled c-section at the hospital, she was in her usual spot and they didn’t think too much of it but when they returned home with their new bundle of adorableness, Mama Dove was obviously busy with her own bundle of adorableness (at least I guess he’s cute, I’m not really an expert on the bird cuteness scale).  

She has been sitting here ever since and if you look, you can see that my friends so graciously offered her a piece of bread which still sits in the basket.  I don’t know where they got the idea that doves eat bread but whatever, I can’t judge.  

Cute story, right?????????  Anyway, as I mentioned, I don’t know much about the cute bird scale but I do know about the cute baby scale and little Dean is sure tipping the cute side!!!!!!!!!

LOVE baby lips

and baby feet

and parents who LOVE their children!

Anyone who is my Facebook friend (and actually reads my mundane updates) knows that I am Twilight obsessed this week.  I read the entire series last week and have made my husband watch the movie 3 times.  I told him the other day that he should grow his hair longer and he snapped back, “why, so I can look like Edward?????”   I guess he’s had enough of my teenager-like crushes but I digress.  This post is supposed to be about the fact that it has rained here for what seems like a month straight and it is driving me INSANE.  Come on sun, I am in major need of some vitamin D and a bit of a tan won’t hurt either – my beach trip is right around the corner.  I guess for now I will just have to look at pictures like this one, close my eyes, and pretend I’m there again.  It’s too bad Edward doesn’t do well in the sun because I’d enjoy the company – ooops – did I really just write that??????

Check out these cuties!

I have been a very bad blogger but I wanted to quickly share a few shots of this family of 5.  

I would seriously kill for her eyelashes!!!

I love this one of her trying to touch the lens.  She was relentless!!!

and of course I can’t forget the most loved dog I’ve ever met in my life and the 5th member of this family.   Here is Oscar – part boxer and part bulldog and about a thousand pounds of muscle and slobber.  haha.  Good thing I love dogs otherwise he would have scared the bejesus out of me when I first saw him!!
