Oh my, I absolutely adored this family. They were so sweet and calm, and the kids were precious and cute to “boot”. We enjoyed a beautiful morning at their lovely home and I am so thrilled with the results. I cannot wait to see these on their walls!

Just a couple more of my favorites! I loved them all so I couldn’t pick only one or two to share.

I enjoyed you guys so much! Thanks for sharing your morning with me!

Hey guys, please go vote for me! Vote here – my photo is #61. Thank you so much!

I love the weekly challenges over at I Heart Faces! This week we get to choose our favorite photo from the month of February. My choice was a simple random capture during my sweet baby’s birthday party, but I fell in love with it the moment I snapped it. My baby loves her “Ganny”, and Granny loves her too.

Good luck to all the entries this week!

I love this week’s challenge over at I Heart Faces! The entries have been great; so many little toes and fingers and belly buttons. It is so amazing to see what comes out in an image when you take the face out of the equation.

I have always loved this quiet little moment I caught of my baby girl; I think she was about one here, and lost in her own little baby world; no doubt she was searching for something she could cram into her mouth before mommy noticed. But from my vantage point, all I could see was my precious little girl, in a world of her own, dreaming her baby daydreams. Ahh, how I love these quiet moments.

Good luck to all the entries this week!

The challenge this week over at I Heart Faces is cell phone pics! Fun!

So here is a shot I snapped after an apparently tiring morning out. Don’t worry! She was unbuckled because we were home and I was in the process of taking her out of her carseat when I noticed how adorable she looked. She is cute when she’s sleeping! Hah!

I love my iphone, because among other things, it means I have a camera on me at all times for catching sweet, precious moments like this one.

Good luck to everyone playing this week!

Fog is cool! We headed to the Train Depot as soon as we saw what the morning was looking like because we thought it would look pretty awesome with the heavy fog – and we were right! I love these photos, but how could they be anything but adorable with this super cute little guy!?

Some more of my favorites from this session; it was so hard to pick!

I had such a wonderful morning with you guys and your sweet boy.  Super cute family, a great cup of coffee and a tram ride – what more could we ask!

Thanks for stopping by! <3
