It’s part two of a weekend of photos with the birthday girl!  Today we were treated to a lovely evening at the park, playing and exploring together.  What a beautiful family ~ enjoy the previews!

it’s a busy stage of life.

It was a rainy day outside, but nothing could dampen our spirits as we celebrated this little darling’s first birthday!  Happy birthday sweet girl!

Evening time at the Arboretum – chasing two adorable, active little boys amidst brides and a wedding – what a hoot!  We had so much fun exploring the gardens before the sun went down.  I loved every minute of it!  Enjoy!

I always love exploring somewhere new, and I’m now adding this spot to my list of favorite places to go, camera in hand.  It’s hard to believe I’ve photographed this family for 4 years now.  What a privilege to see little ones grow year after year – even when their mom and dad continue to remain stunningly young and photogenic!  Enjoy the previews.

I absolutely adore everything about this weekend’s maternity session!  I got to catch up with childhood friends, and we were treated to a gorgeous early morning at the park.  I loved the light; I loved their sense of style; I loved our time together!  Enjoy the previews – it was so difficult to narrow down to just a handful, so I went a little overboard with this post.  I don’t think you’ll mind!

Aren’t you glad we did this shot? One of my favorites!

After a rainy start to the week we were treated to a bright sunny day, and I was treated to a morning with a precious baby girl and her amazingly adorable big sister.  The last time I saw big sis she was small enough to fit in my bowl, and it was so much fun to see how much she’s grown and the little girl she’s become.  I am so pleased with these photos! Enjoy the previews!

This week I was able to spend the morning with this little gem and her sweet family.  I always count it a blessing to be invited in to a family’s life when a new one enters in.  Enjoy the previews!

And baby makes four – four boys, to be precise! And what lively, gorgeous little boys they are!  I spent a fun afternoon with these brothers yesterday and took advantage of lots of little baby snuggles. Thanks for inviting me in to capture some of these precious first moments together.  Enjoy!

We were blessed with a break in the oppressive heat we’ve been experiencing around here and had a really nice evening on the golf course.  A stunning mama surrounded by all her handsome men and another little boy on the way.  Bet things are never dull at their house!
