Little Lily Firecracker

I had the pleasure of hosting my sister-in-law and her family for a few days earlier this month.  It has been over a year since we'd last seen our niece in the flesh, and I must say that girl is a firecracker!  The week flew by with so many things to do and see & despite our best efforts to get together a full family shoot we never quite managed to pull it off...but somewhere along the way I managed to capture a few good ones of this spirited little 2 year old, Little Lily Firecracker.

Thanks for a lovely visit Stephanie, Mike & Lily.  We hope you enjoyed your stay as much as we enjoyed having you!

Mornings Like This

  The sun is shining in the window.  The smell of coffee in the air.  Nobody's in a hurry to go anywhere.

   I love mornings like these.

The Newborn Next Door

   Meet my neighbors!  This tiny prince is just a few weeks old & already working the poses.  His little feet melted my heart, and the glow from his proud parents vastly overshadowed their sleep deprived state.

I found a tiny new Pearl

  And a sweet little Pearl she was.  I still can't believe how strong she is for just 3 weeks old.  All smiles for her mama too....melts my heart.

Family Photos

  ....and so the photo blog begins.  I thought I'd start by sharing some of my favorite family photos.  There's not much better than spending a sunny summer evening in the park.
