These are just a few random pictures I took while we were at the lake with Stu’s family last week… Most of them are of the kids, Bailey, Allie, Owen and of course Kennedy!

Kennedy is allowed an hour every day without her helmet, but we always just give her a bath then get it right back on… however, we decided that she could take her hour at the lake for a swim!

I know this picture is not ‘perfect’ in many ways… but I simply love it! It just feels so…happy! He was laughing so hard!

They love to do ‘silly faces’ for the camera!

And now, while we are on the subject of family… take a look at Kennedy’s shirt in the next pictures…

Yes! That is right…she is going to be a big sister! we are expecting baby #2 and are super excited!

Hope you are all having a fabulous week

As of Saturday Ashley is now married, so I can share her bridal pictures with you… she was beautiful! We meandered around her house and then to the Dairy Barn where she used to ride horses. I must warn you, I am having a hard time picking out pictures right now, so this post is going to be a little bit long!

As I took these next 3 I felt as if it were a fairy tail… I just love them! Something about a long white dress and horse…. sigh!

There is something about this one I really like…

I love these two!

(remember you can click on the images to see them bigger… I know these collages are hard to see! Sorry!)

Hello world of the great wide web! I am posting today just to say that I will not be posting this week. I know, weird. But, I didn’t want you to think I was MIA! We are heading to the lake to spend time with family, and we have NO Internet service.

I wish I could say at this point that I am going to leave you with a picture till then, but, I just don’t have time to grab one! Sorry! However, I did just get done with an awesome bridal shoot that I’ll be blogging when I get back….

Have a fabulous week everyone! XoXo!

I know I have skipped some weeks in Kennedy’s weekly shoots, but can you believe she is already 36 weeks old? 81/2 months! Wow, where does the time go? Well, big news in our world, she officially started crawling last night!

Here are some of her pictures from this week….

Okay, the next few are very much the same picture, but how could I choose a favorite?!

Ahhh, the 4th of July; it has always been one of my favorite holidays… We had a great one this year… I hope you all did! We took Kennedy to her first parade:

she loved it!

Kourtnie and JoJo were in the parade!

Stuart and I both took Kennedy down this slide; see me up there waving?!

Aunt Beverly gave me a big push about halfway down!

Stu and Kennedy coming down…

We got together for my cousins birthday… Happy Birthday Trey! (MawMaw; please take notice that I am doing much better about posting family pictures lately! XoXo)

We had some yummy food:

And of course we saw a few fireworks…

Happy Monday!

We always celebrate MawMaw’s birthday at my Aunt and Uncle’s house up at the lake… here are a few of the pictures from this year.

(remember, you can click the images to enlarge them….)

a few ‘jumping’ pictures…

Aunt Pamela and Jillie decorated the cake…

yours truly right in the center here!

Yes, I know I have blogged a “thank you” before – a couple of times actually – but I feel that I just can’t say it enough…. So, here I am again, posting just to say a huge THANK YOU!

Thank you to all of you who visit my blog, who leave comments, who email, call or tell me in person how much you enjoy my blog and my pictures. Honestly, it means so much. I am humbled and inspired. Inspired to do more, get more creative, and take more chances.

And a special Thank you to all of you who have asked me to take your pictures. I love taking pictures, and to know that you all trust me to capture moments in your lives to remember, to cherish and to look back on is again, humbling. Thank you.

I’ll leave you with a couple of pretty pictures from my parents yard I took over the weekend….

I love quotes and I just thought these were too cute!

Happy Tuesday!

Sorry for being a little slack on posting lately… but Kennedy has really been the only one in front of my camera these days. It seems like I got pretty busy there for awhile, and now I only have one shoot that is a sure thing… and about 4 that are supposed to happen, just not on the books yet. So, if you want to get in front of my camera – now is the time!

Till then, here is yet another handful of Miss Kennedy Grace!

First off; just a random picture of her that I like…

then decided that since I was right there she would just fuss at me to get it for her..

when I didn’t jump up and get it for her she tried again..

then she sat back up and stuck her fingers in her mouth as if she was thinking hmmm, what to do now?

haha! I guess she’ll crawl when she decides too!

This is another random picture I just love!

Happy Monday everybody!

If you are a long time blog reader you’ve probably noticed me mention my good friend Julie. She is a fabulous artist, you can check her out here: www.artbyjpaige.blogspot.com
She and her hubby Sean have been married for 5 years now and have never had ‘good’ pictures made. So, we fixed that! Where is the sense in having a photographer friend and no good pictures of yourself?!

Julie was so nervous about getting in front of my camera! She would say “I want to have pictures of us, I just don’t want to have to get them done!” But she did GREAT! And then made me feel so good because she told me that I made them completely comfortable and they had a blast! Yay! Well, I must me doing something right huh?

Okay, now for the pictures…

haha! love this one!

I love these next three; they are just so fun!
