Mickey is feeling a little left out on occasion, and he might be a tad jealous…notice he’s taken his frustration out on his brother’s bath accessory.

This is Brendan!  He enjoys bath time.  He is the sweetest of the sweet.

These are some of our best friends on the planet.  They rock.

This is playtime in Brendan’s room.  It’s a pretty fun place.  And it has a cool green rug.

STUD!

Room decorations include our earlier photos of Brendan in the womb and as a newborn!

He digs white onesies.

He loves being outdoors, just like his parents.

See what I mean?  Totally relaxed!  :)

Great family.  Great shoot.  LOVE TO YOU!

Beautiful little Lana!

Proud Grandparents.

Jacob just got to the point to where he could run… and man did he like running!

Paige was really hamming it up for the cameras!

Thank you for viewing, see you again soon!

Kurtis

We’ve probably said it before, but we love the opportunity to capture new life…it’s so magical, so special, and to see families interacting with their little one is really something.  It’s the fresh and delicate features, the gentle touches, the warming expressions, and the radiating love in the room.  Brendan is a lucky little guy…he has an awesome family…and they certainly feel blessed to have him!

Life is good, eh?

Thank you, Tim and Gwen, for inviting us into your brand new world!  Enjoy every second of it.  You are a wonderful family.

Special thanks to Auntie Anne and Uncle Doug, our super duper friends!  We miss you already.

Our good friends Nicole and Barry are getting ever so close to welcoming their first child into the world.  They’re both really excited!… and we’re really excited for them.  You may remember them from a post last year where we did an anniversary shoot for them.  They’re always so easy to work with and make each other (and us) laugh so often, that we hardly have to do a thing besides be there with camera’s ready.  As always, we’ve included our favorites from the shoot.  Enjoy!

Mickey, their dog, couldn’t help himself and had to be in a few of the photos.

Gotta embrace the weather!

That is one lucky baby to inherit these looks!

Barry and Nicole – You two are the best!  We can’t wait for your baby to come and see you two as parents.  Thanks again for having us take these.  And we look forward to taking more soon!

Thanks to everyone else for stopping by; have a wonderful day!

They became our very first photographed couple of 2010, what is looking to be a tremendous year!  And although they’re already married [missed out on that wedding  ], they were needing some updated photos of themselves.  It was a short shoot (by request), but may not be the last time we see them.  So we’re crossing our fingers, hoping and praying that we get to see them again real soon.

Kyle and Bonnie – Thank you two so much for having us shoot these.  We really enjoyed the little time we got to spend with you and look forward to seeing you two again!  The rest of the photos are in the mail.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Chloe just turned 1!  Babies change so quickly…I last saw her probably 5 months ago, laid back in her stroller, sippy cup in hand, enjoying a local art fair.  Now she’s bouncing around, constantly on the go, and full of happiness!  Her cheeks are squeezable.  Her eyes are stunning. And she’s a strawberry blonde to boot!

We had a great time just playing in the yard at home!

Here are the eyes

I loved this spot, but once Chloe’s feet hit the pavement, she was off walking!

Exhausting book!

These last two are my favs!

What a family!  You all are beautiful.  Chloe makes me smile big time.

Stay tuned to see Chloe’s cake smashing session.  It was aweeeeeeeeesome.  Much love!

Karis is beautiful.  Seriously, how much sweeter can anything be?!

Perfection.  Perfection.  Perfection.  Yoowww!

This is a Kurtis specialty, and I love it!  He always finds just the right window.

And if you’re bold enough to bring it on a day when most won’t, you get the place to yourself!  BONUS!

You know we love swings photos!  And we like to them most when backlit.

I loved Karis’ style.  Boots with the fur!  She could model for any of the cool kid stores.

So so sweet.

We got inside for a few final ones.  These next two make us melt.

What a fine day.  We so enjoyed our time.  I am smiling with happiness now having made this post.  THANK YOU both!
