:: Spring Mini Sessions Round #1 ::

Okay so yesterday we had dream weather for our first round of the spring mini sessions!! Thank you to everyone who came out and had your pictures taken with "Bun-Bun Bunny"! Here is a mixture preview from all 5 sessions ~ If you want a Spring Mini Session of your own, I still have 5 available spots for THIS Saturday April 3rd. Please email me for additional information!

**Drawing for Sweetie Bees Clothing will take place Monday, April 5th for all of the participants in the Spring Mini Sessions!!**

:: Afternoon At The River ::

What an awesome sunny afternoon we had yesterday~ perfect opportunity to head down to the Woodland Bottoms and play with the girls. This was the babies 2nd time to the beach where they actually could try out the sand for themselves. Brooklyn had gotten used to the sand and she loved it but Reese wanted NOTHING to do with the dirty texture, she seemed very uncertain and didn't want to leave her little blanket of safety! I think she hated the feeling- well our sand isn't the nicest around, it's actually pretty rough, so I'll give her that. HAHA the blanket ended up being a babysitter :). Lainey had fun just getting dirty and building a little "sand castle" (big pile of wet sand). The hardest part was trying to keep Brooklyn from eating ALL the sand and rocks on the beach!  Anyways I thought I share our little relaxing afternoon with you.

:: Rockin the Studio ::

So here are my 3 daughters and my sisters 3 daughters ~ what fun we had dressing them all up and changing backdrop & props in the studio! Girls are so great, and it's a good thing we think so- this family has so many!! :) Here are some fun shots. Hope you enjoy!

:: My Lainey Girl ::

Okay, so this week over at I <3 Faces they are focusing on angles, and while I have tons of different archived pictures to choose from~ I decided that since it is such a beautiful sunshiny afternoon, and I have such a beautiful little 3 yr old model (the twins were napping) that I would go out and shoot some fresh shots. I absolutely die when I see this picture- my big girl growing up so fast. She is beautiful, and I love all 3 of my beautiful daughters SO much.

This is a fun angle to try out ~ I was low on the ground, almost laying down flat, and she was looking down at me ~ It's not as apparent with only one person as the subject but this shot works really well (probably better) with a group of people, juts to get a fun, different perspective.

  (PS. I LOVE SUNSHINE!!)

Head on over to the I<3 Faces website and check out all of the other fun "Angle" entries!

::Sneak Peek From Studio "V"::

Just a few teasers with Laineys favorite new backdrop...the pink one of course, despite the fact that her outfit doesn't match it in the least...haha. Anyways a new announcement coming tomorrow- stay tuned!

:: My Cupids ::

My girlies = my loves.... photographing my girlies = my greatest challenge! It is TOUGH to try and get these crazies to stay in the same spot, let alone all looking in the same direction at once- I need daddy to be my assistant or SOMETHING...perhaps duct tape? HaHa, oh well, it will be my challenge to myself this year to try and get a photo with all of the girls looking at me! Cupid draw back your bow....and let your arrow go. Here are the little Haden-ette's.

:: Little Jovie Doll ::

Yesterday I had the privilage of photographing this great family out in Salem. They were so cute!! Little Jovie is turning one this week and these are her one year old photos. Happy birthday beautiful girl! She was an amazing little doll during the entire shoot! We had such a great session, got into some fun food shots as well as some more traditional shots :) Thank you guys for using me to capture these precious memories...and also a special thanks to my sister for being such an awesome assistant, and to her husband for allowing her to get out for the day! Okay...are you ready for this post? I've been working hard to get these up so fast and here is the sneak peek!! I am so excited with the outcome. I'd love to hear what you think! Happy Monday everyone :).
