Finished...

This fun boy session, and had to put a few of my favorites up...

...the expressions crack me up...

although he was sad...he still was a total cutie pie...

...this was totally thought up by him...and I love it!

...I forget what he was screaming at...but it was a happy scream!

...they were so funny..

..and Mr. R here looks adorable...and I love seeing his brothers in the background "hugging" or starting to wrestle!

Lots of work to get to...if you are waiting for a sneak peek, I am sorry! I will get them up soon, I promise! :)

Post #3...

And then headed to bed! Set the record...three in one night (although blogger counts this one as a new day...I am still operating on "yesterday" time!)

This session is from Saturday, and again were repeat clients! I love repeat clients! I feel like I get to know them even more, get to see them grow and have more fun the second time around. These two little boys (lots of boys lately!) are a ton of fun! The oldest, Mr. D is 4 and Mr. P is 1! :) Mr. D is as cute as can be, full of boy energy, and did a fabulous job waiting and walking around the pond to get back to the play area! Mr. P, sweet as can be, beautiful brown eyes, his cute little man clothes...all put a smile on my face. We got a few shots with mom A also...sorry those aren't making the sneak peek tonight...but I am excited to share some of those also! :)

"A" picked the location...Oak Openings. I haven't been there in YEARS!!!! It is a little bit of a drive, but completely worth it...absolutely stunning all around. I could have walked around forever just looking at the surrounding beauty...but my *little* feet and legs would have been aching especially since I had a session that afternoon also!

Great weekend, and stay tuned...two more sessions to share...hopefully tomorrow evening! :)

Love the love...and sweet smiles...

Super cuties...

Beautiful brown eyes...

water, bridges, colorful trees...and best of all the sweet little ones...

...and the sweet blue eyes.

P.S. "A" did a great job dressing these little guys...fun layers, great colors, hats, cute shoes (Robeez...have seen them on about 5 little boys in the past 2 weeks in my sessions...never knew of them...can't wait to get a pair for our next little bundle!!)

Goodnight!

Busy, Busy, Busy...

We will see how many sneak peeks I can get up here tonight! My husband is out of town for the week, which leaves my evenings extremely free (unfortunately) especially when I don't have a show that I "must see". Those are Sundays, Thursdays, and I try to catch one Wednesday, but can live without it! :)

Here are a few of a fun boy session last week. Mr. D turned one, so the session was for him, and also was to get all the boys together. That was a difficult feat, but I loved every minute of it! With only having my two girls, seeing the boys interact, playing with sticks, chasing squirrels, playing in the dirt (like within minutes of being at the park, and their mom saying "try not to get dirty!"), having a sibling quarrel...I loved it! It brought back many memories of growing up with my SIX brothers, and running along side with them...until I became "too cool" to play with sticks or dirt. Although, a game of backyard football, I was always up for...even through high school...then they became way better than me, and it wasn't as fun! Poor loser, I know.

Mr. D...the big one year old! Don't you love his hair color?

Chasing after the squirrel...

The little cookie cutter boys...
This one cracks me up. Mr. S on the end looks as though he is trying to be the dad of the boys and make sure that Mr. D is doing what he should be...too cute! :)


Love how the littlest one is lagging behind and checking out to see if we were coming...

If you are wondering their ages...4, 3, 2, 1 (all about 13 months apart, and Mom is expecting another little bundle!) How fun will they all have growing up so close in age with each other...I would love to watch their Christmas morning this year! What great kids!

Well, to end things for now...who knows what will get done tonight (I am still hearing my little one talking in her bed, which means a trip up to see what is going on!) Remembering my little Thomas Richard...one year ago today...birthed and held my little boy after he had gone to be with our Maker. Not a day goes by that my heart doesn't miss him, and that my mind doesn't wander off and think of him. God has been good, and blessed me with another little life inside of me that wouldn't be here, if my baby Thomas was...so I have to be thankful, and rejoice in knowing that I will see him again. The weather today couldn't have been better, and the girls and I had a great time with each other. Such sweethearts (that can also make me crazy!!!) that love me completely with all of my imperfections...and there are many.

Back to work. Hope you are having a great week, and if you are in the NWO area, enjoy the beautiful days to come. More sessions this week...if you are hoping to squeeze one in, the time is running short, so shoot me an email or give me a call. November 22nd is my last day (excluding newborns).

**Update...just heard from my hubby and he has cell service in his lodge...and hopefully internet access. The last time he went there was no cell or internet and we talked very minimally through a pay phone. So that is a TOTAL bonus to help get through the week! :)

**Update Number 2...Tom has internet service also!!! Yippie! This will cut down on his lengthy hours of catch up with emails when he returns, and allow the girls to send him fun notes and love you's whenever they want! The past two things have made my evening! :)

Just a reminder...

Of a couple of things...
1. Father's Day special listed in a previous post.
2. Check out my brother's blog. He has a link in one post that has a pretty cool song with an
A Capella group from Siena...he is the soloist. Pretty cool! Here is his blog: http://lucaswellsblog.blogspot.com/ Needless to say, I am a pretty proud big sister!

Hoping to get a few images up from yesterday's session...we have been busy here and I haven't had time to do a ton of editing!

Have a great Memorial Day!

Check Out My Brother...

Here is a great article on my brother Tyler. He has had a wonderful senior year, and this article highlights all of the great things he has accomplished. Have a great night!

Meet my CRAZY brothers!

We were minus one brother (lives in Dayton) here. We were celebrating my mom's birthday at our house a couple evenings ago, when one brother, Noah, asked if anyone had ever played "shake face". Of course, we all said "No." Well, he proceeded to tell us about it, and said that you had to take pictures of the action. Of course they all wanted to try it, even though they were told it will give you a headache. Perhaps the brain smashing against the skull isn't such a great idea! Here are some of the pictures. Those of you visiting for the first time, please know that this is NOT what your pictures will look like, and this is NOT what a typical session consists of! ;) I just had to share a part of my life with all of you. I can always count on laughing, teasing and fun when we are all together...especially if the "boys" are there! I love you boys. (Tyler decided to not try "Shake Face" since he already had a headache...smart kid!)

The Boys: Noah, Tyler, Lucas, Clint and Jonah

In order from Oldest to Youngest....

Clint...no one said you had to cross your eyes, but in every picture of his...they were crossed. Definitely adds to the effect!!! Yes, he is married, owns a home and has a great job...would you guess that from this picture?!?!?!?!

Jonah...his cheeks didn't flap as well...and he for some reason thought that you had to have your eyes closed!!! Jonah is the dad of K.J on here...poor K.J...she will be embarrassed some day!



Noah...the originator of the "Shake Face". He has some flappy cheeks! Also has a great job and is movin' on up in life!



Lucas...had to post two of these because I couldn't pick the best one. Yes, this is the brother who is on the National Tour of the Broadway show Spring Awakening. Wonder if his agent would like these for head shots?!?!?!? :)




And then, my Bean, decides to be a part of the action also. Thanks boys! Here is her result...more of a scream vs. a shake! LOL!

Birthday Mimi, with 5 of the 6 grandkids.

Hope you enjoyed getting to know another little part of my life! What would I do with out my sibs?!?!? Love them.
