E Family

I just love referrals! This was a huge family shoot. Great Grandma, Grandparents, Parents, and kids. Lots of fun but I was having a hard time keeping track of who's pictures we had already gotten! Which probably explains the over 100 edited pictures I put onto a cd for them!

Sisters




Drool

I've been doing a ton of Spring/Easter pictures these last couple of weeks. I met my friend Steffani and her 3 girls out in a clover field one day for some quick pictures before they moved to Texas.

I want to share more of their shoot later but for now, these sequence of pictures Crack. Me. Up. Talk about capturing the moment! And nothing says baby more than DROOL!


The Story Behind The Purple Dresses

Every year since Elodie turned 1, my mom comes for a visit in March. And every year she comes with money from my PawPaw Whitney to "buy that girl an Easter dress." The funny thing is, it's always been $10. My PawPaw lived through the Great Depression so to him, $10 should be plenty. Sadly, these days $10 will pay for the taxes with a little bit leftover!

Regardless of the amount, it's the thought that counts, and since Elodie's first Easter we have made a huge deal out of PawPaw's Easter Dresses. We take pictures and send them to him and make sure to call with a thank you too.

This year was no exception. As soon as my mom got settled she told me PawPaw sent his traditional $10 for the girls Easter dresses. I had to laugh because now, with 2 girls, $10 for Easter dresses would ONLY cover the cost of taxes!!

The day after my mom came to town we were in Wal-Mart. We passed through the girls clothes and to our surprise found a bunch of their Spring Dresses on clearance for $5! And even more of a surprise was they had both girls sizes!!! You have to know that I hardly EVER buy a dress for one girl. If they don't have both sizes, even if I really like the dress, I don't get it. Some call it weird but I just like when my girls match for church.

So while these aren't the girls official Easter dresses, they were completely paid for by their Great PawPaw Whitney. And that, my friends, is a first!









Baby Boy

Welcome to the world Baby Boy! He is simply adorable!

We agreed that this year went a lot better than last year. The girls actually listened when we told them to sit down or put their hands in their laps. And there was no crawling away like last year. We ended up doing 2 shoots because I like to torture Melissa like that but after 300 plus pictures we found 4 we really liked for the invitation.











Happy Valentine's Day!












And here are the valentine cards Elodie handed out to her classmates!
