the christl family | sneak peek

Marie contacted me a while ago about doing some photos of her and her boys - as a special treat for her husband. I was excited to work with a new family ... and to try out some locations that I don’t get to use often. All in my hometown. Always a treat.

And of course ... this afternoon did not disappoint.

A perfect day, in my opinion. Cloudy, windy ... with a nip in the air. A few sprinkles here and there added an element of surprise. But, since we were working with some very active boys ... we were up for the challenge. And, truth be told, I don’t think I would have had it any other way.

A lovely family ... with a simply beautiful mom; and a trio of brothers who so clearly, and so purely, love one another.

I’d like to offer a special thank you to this sweet family - for being so patient with me over these last weeks, while I have dealt with some difficult things. Thank you for your understanding, and for your gracious hearts. Marie, S, C and S: thank you for being you. Because it is you that made my heart sing that Sunday afternoon.

Enjoy. As I have. It is my hope that these captured moments were worth the wait.

17 days

Nothin’ says lovin’ ...

like somethin’ from the coven.

Happy Halloween.

Spending the afternoon with this particular bump

is a blessing that I count twice.

Picking one favorite to share today,

or even a handful,

was - understandably - hard.

Without a doubt.

Enjoy ... and stay tuned for more.

with this darling family ...

who made it all worth it.

lauren's baby shower | teaser

Our family is anxiously awaiting the arrival of yet another sweet little babe ... and we are so excited! Thrilled and happy for our cousin, Lauren, and her husband, Jeremy.

Yesterday, a baby shower was held in honor of Baby Cason - and I was asked to take pictures at the lovely affair. I simply had to share this captured moment ... how I love that petite little bump on that dear cousin of ours.

Stay tuned for more.

on my mind today

65 days

wishing and hoping

Some say ‘leaving on a jet plane’.

I say, “Stick me on a train.”

This one, if you want specifics.

My, how I wish

I was on my way to Hogwarts this September 1st.

But whilst I am waiting for my trip to Platform 9 ¾

and dreaming of my

warm and cozy four-poster in Gryffindor Tower

and Chocolate Peppermint Toads ...

you, my dear readers,

have quite a lot to look forward to

on this most neglected of blogs.

So, until then ...

... I will be reading.
