Portraits

Some of you may remember JR & Courtni from a few years ago.  I did their engagement photos up in the PA mountains back in 2003?  I'm having a hard time believing that it could possibly be that long ago!

Two weeks I got a call from JR saying he wanted to surprise Courtni for her birthday with a portrait session!  Absolutely!  And can you believe that the Sunday after her birthday just happened to be the most gorgeous day of the fall?!  We met at a park in Wilmington and had so much fun running around, rolling down the hills, and making leaf angels.  I had such a great time with them and didn't want the sun to set!  But I hope the kiddos slept well that night...   (warning - lots of photos! And not all of my favorites made it to the blog!)

I LOVE that Mom & Dad jumped right in the middle of the fun!

Thank you for such a great day, Brown Family!

There are many many times when I blog about a session and its nearly impossible to narrow it down to the top few favorites.  This one is no exception!

On Monday I met with Darsi, Mike, and Little M to do a family session before they move to Kansas for military assignment.  We met Darsi & Mike during our birthing classes, as our little ones were born around the same time.  So it was great to get together before they leave and let our little girls play for a bit!  And check out those eyes on Little M...Amazing!!

Mike & Darsi, good luck with your move and THANK YOU for all that you do for our country!!  We'll miss you!

Saturday I did a mini session with Alyson and her boys.  This is one of my favorites!  Little A was ready for his nap and just wasn't interested.  But I love it.  And I was so excited to be able to document big A's first solo, unassisted trip down the slide!

Baby A...he has such gorgeous eyes!

And remember little Alex when he was just born and then at 1 month?  Well guess who just celebrated his first birthday!!   Hard to believe he's 1 already.  And such a little man...watch our girls!

And of course I can't post without including one of my baby girl

So Alex is back.   He's now 2 months old, but I haven't had a chance to post his 1 month old photos yet.   So here they are!   

Can you tell that I just can't get enough of these little toes?!?!?! 

First playdate with his crib and his new friends.  Usually I find that the first time we set the baby in their crib, they cry because it's unfamiliar.  But he just laid there and smiled and checked out his bear friends and was so great.

Two weeks ago I was at the final football game of the season at work and had a blast taking some photos of some of our faculty children.   Check out these cuties!!

Someone turned one year old this week!! Here's a few photos from this cutie's celebration.
