Cousins

Z and V love their cousins. They are friends they will grow old with.

My little escape artist

The big explore

How wonderful it is to be a child!

When weeds are beautiful flowers and a rotting stick is home to a city of ants. When you dream of running away from home to explore the world...but come home for dinner.

I pray my kids look back on their childhood and cherish these days.

The hired help

Oh how I am missing Ben. This is turning out to be the longest 18 days of my life. I am however so grateful for the tiny friends he has left behind to keep me company.
I asked the kids to set the table while I finished dishing out our dinner last night and this is what they did. I couldn't help but let dinner go cold while I captured my busy little bees being ever so 'helpful'.

Meet Hosea

What better day to post about this sweet little Boy than fathers day. I caught up with Luke and Sarah a few days ago to capture this new little life. Today he is 8 days old. I hope you've had a wonderful first fathers day Luke.

underwater pregnancy shoot

There is something about the pregnant form under water...Sarah makes being pregnant look so effortless and elegant...in and out of water. I've also never met a woman in her eighth month of pregnancy that is as fit as Sarah. We literally tread water for about 2 hours and it didn't fase her at all...me on the other hand, even with flippers on, I was exhausted!

I am so thrilled for Luke and Sarah and can't wait to meet this new little life in a few short weeks.

Sweet baby girl

Ahh babies!!...I just love to photograph the freshness of a newborn. Little baby A came in for her photo shoot at just over a week old and was such a sleepy little thing. It's little ones like this that make me (almost) clucky again.

Tim and Mon are getting married...

My friends Tim and Mon are getting married in November. I can't wait to capture the love on their special day.
