Maternity Shoot

Today I had the best time shooting Sherri, Jeff and his little boy Dylan. Sherri is pregnant and is due in July :) They made my job so easy because they were the perfect models. Even Dylan gave me a few smiles. Here are a few from the day:

Our memorial day weekend was great! It was so nice to just relax and not feel rushed to do anything. The best part is that I only have to work 2 days this week and then I’m off to Vegas for 3 nights!!! I love vegas! Jeff and I will be celebrating our 4th anniversary. It’s going to be so fun :)

Blink*

I swear I blink and another week has flown by. Does anyone else feel that way? I know I ask this all of the time, but seriously, where does the time go? I remember as a child, adults would always say that time goes by faster the older you get… they weren’t kidding.

This is the last week of school.. summer is officially here and to kick it off, it was110 degrees here today. That is just crazy. It’s not even June yet.. I can only image what August will be like.

I’m still up to my neck in editing of photos.. as I was going through them I stumbled across this one of Ellie.. I love it. I think I’m going to get it printed and hang it up on a wall somewhere.

Have a great week!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today was a great day.. it started off nice and calm, which was perfect! We went for a walk this morning and and Ellie rode her tricycle around the block.  She did such a great job! Turning 3 has made her such a big girl.. hee hee

Then we went to lunch at North, which was super tasty. I had a wonderful Tuscan Chicken salad sandwich.  Yummy.

Then this afternoon the whole family headed over to our house for an awesome dinner that Jeff made. He made fillet mignon and  it turned out perfect. Afterwards we played a couple rounds of Beyond Boulderdash.. I LOVE that game. It makes me laugh out loud every time I play it.

In honor of mother’s day, I decided to dress Ellie in something appropriate:

When you ask her what her shirt says, she replies “Mommy rocks!”  She so smart!!  So to all your mothers out there… you rock.. Happy Mothers Day!

“M” Family

Tonight I had such a great time shooting my friend Nicole and her family. Her parents are in town, so it was the perfect time to get family photos done.  It’s always a challenge when kids are in the mix, but we managed to get them to look at the camera a few times!  Here are a few:

I have been so busy!! I’m hoping to catch up sometime this week. I have a ton of photos to share with everyone.. so check back soon to see those!

Other than that, not a whole lot going on lately. The house is a mess, the laundry is piling up and Sunday is Mother’s day. We are going to have the whole family over and Jeff is going to cook something delicious. Now I just wish I could crinkle my nose and *poof* the house would be clean!

Ladybug Birthday Party

Yesterday we celebrated Ellie’s 3rd Birthday. The theme was ladybugs and we went all out! It was sooooo fun! Everything was perfect! The cake was amazing!! We got it from Baker Wee, which I highly recommend. The cake was so yummy! We had tons of ladybug decorations and then on the tables, I spread out oreo cookies to look like spots! We even had a bounce house for the kids. For party favors I gave each child a bag with a little bug catcher filled with REAL ladybugs and little magnifying glasses. It was a HUGE hit. The kids loved to look at the bugs. Of course they were all instructed to take them home and release them in their gardens :) Here are a few photos from the day:
