Diana | 3 years

Pin It


Oh how this little sweetie has stolen my heart!  Her sparkling eyes, strawberry blond curls, and her sweet disposition are just a few of the reasons!  Oh, and she loves cookies!  And puppies!  And flowers!  Her parents and family absolutely adore her, and it's so easy to see why!  We had a beautifully sunny and breezy spring afternoon for her 3 year session.  Let's get right to some favorites from the day!  Family and friends can view Diana's entire online gallery here.



Diana, you are adorable!  Love this!







See what I mean?  That smile is perfection!








A favorite!  I just had to include her Sneak Peek from Facebook!  







Just a quiet moment with some dandelions...


...and then she decided to climb the fence, which makes this another one of my absolute favorites! 
On her tippy-toes!  Sooo cute!






It is so fun to see the world through the eyes of a child...not a worry in the world, taking time to smell some pretty pink spring blooms in the sunshine!








Looove!



And as if it would be possible to get any more adorable, two 11 week old puppies 
joined us for some photos!  Diana just loves them so much!  Meet Charlie Brown!  :)





Another favorite!  Puppy kisses!


Although we were lucky enough not to get rained on, it's always fun to play with an umbrella!




Meet Charlie's sister, Lucy!  :)  These two were so sweet, so cuddly, and so soft!  
Thank you for joining us you two! ;)


I'll end with one more favorite... How cute is this?!  



Diana, thank you for sharing your afternoon with me!  
You are just a doll, and it was so much fun to hang out with you!  
Hugs!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Pin It



I'm officially celebrating my first Mother's Day this weekend, and I'm so excited!  A year ago this weekend, we were getting ready host a dinner to announce our little one's gender to our family and friends, when we had to adjust everything due to a house fire.  I'm happy to say that this May has been great so far!  I cannot believe it has been a year since first hearing that our little baby was going to be a boy!  And now he is almost 8 months old...which reminds me I need to take some photos and post some as well!  This week, my Mom came to watch Remington while I was on-location for a portrait session.  She brought me some lovely lilacs from my childhood home!  Their sweet fragrance filled the room.  Remington has been smiling at the blooms, and I just wonder what he thinks as we both smell them in their vase on the counter top.  He gently closes his eyes and smiles to himself, it is the sweetest thing!  Then he grabs for the petals with a wide-mouth grin and squeal!  Fleeting moments like this are what I always want to remember.  Becoming a mom has been such a gift, if only for moments just like this one.  I am truly blessed with a sweet son, an amazing hubby, and awesome family and friends.

To my Mom...Thank you so much for this life you (and Dad!) have given to me.  I am so blessed to have grown up in a warm home with such a sweet, generous, loving mother.  I hope I can be half as wonderful to Remington.  I love you so much!

And to my mother-in-law, Patti!  I continue to love your handsome son more and more each day.  Reggie is so great with Remington, a true reflection of your love for him.  Watching the two of them play and snuggle melts my heart.  I miss you so much and can't wait to see you!











Happy Mother's Day!

What a perfectly lovely afternoon we had for Mason's 4 year session!  The sun was shining, it was a beautiful day!  After some crazy Midwestern spring weather, we caught the last of these pretty pink flowers on one of my favorite trees!  Mason, it has been such fun watching you grow since being born! You are a sweet and beautiful young lady!  Thank you for sharing your day with me!  And now for some favorites from our spring tea party!






Gorgeous!



Sharing some tea and stories with friends!  ;)


Love her dress!










 Hi Mason!





 A favorite!









Mason has the best smiles and giggles!



Love this one! 






Sooo pretty!


After a quick wardrobe change, we found a pretty pocket of light for some more portraits.  
Looove!







I'll end with one more favorite from the day.    
Just look at those gorgeous eyes!



What a fun day!  Thanks again, Mason, for sharing your sweet smile with me!  
Can't wait to see you again soon!  :)
