Preston!

Cutie!!!  Preston is so much Fun!  And I loved all of the props that his parents brought in for his session.  It really makes it so much more personal, you know?  Not to mention those little toy cars were quite entertaining.  :)  Preston, we had fun!  See you again soon!

That’s My Daughter…

Oh, Child.  Daddy and I love you from the top of your head to tips of your toes.  It’s a good thing, too, because this morning was a ROUGH one.  We have started doing our family devotions in the morning before school instead of at night before bed.  And it’s been working beautifully.  Mak and CB are definitely morning people and when we used to do it at night all we got was GRUMP out of both of them.  Morning is working well.  Except today.  There was a disagreement over which Bible we were to use today (Mighty Warrior or God’s Little Princess) and it escalated into a full-blown out of her mind crazy three year old TANTRUM.  There will be NO storytime at the library with cousins today.  NO playing with friends.  In fact, not much of anything fun will be happening with our little princess this afternoon.  Girlie needs to learn WHO is the boss.  It’s gonna be a hard lesson.  But Momma and Daddy are fully prepared for the challenge, Little Lady.  ;)

And as much of a mess as this child can be at times, we absolutely adore her.  She makes us crazy and sometimes we seriously wonder about her sanity.  But then I remember her older brother making us crazy at this age as well.  And we wondered about his sanity at times.  He came out of it and I’m pretty sure she will, too.  Here are some images Daddy took of her a few nights ago.  A HAPPY night.

We love you, Baby.  :)

Miss Mackenzie

Sweet Baby Girl!!!  This was Mackenzie’s second session with us and I couldn’t get over how much Little Miss has grown!  I love all of the changes that occur in this first year of life.  Mackenzie has precious, chunky-baby, kissable cheeks and eyes that light up the room.  And her wardrobe is FABULOUS!!!  We loved playing with you, Mackenzie!  Can’t wait to see you again soon!

Rockstar Ben

Last year Ben brought his favorite guitar in for his session.  Then for Christmas he got a new set of drums.  And guess what he brought to this year’s session?  I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that our little man Ben has some sort of future in music!  And I love it!  Ben, you made this session so much fun.  I love seeing that great personality and I can hear your super laugh when I look at these images.  You ROCK!!!

Gretchen!

Oh, Miss Gretchen!  Again, child, you amazed us at this session.  I’m starting to believe that this baby girl is incapable of being fussy.  I adore that smile that lights up her entire face.  And she gives the BEST hugs and loves.  That gorgeous gown was made by Gretchen’s grandmother and it is incredible.  There is amazing detail all over it…even on the slip!  Gretchen, Baby, thank you again for being such a sweet girl.  We love it when you come to play!
