when i planned this little shoot with sweet ava and her mommy, i had no idea that ava actually loves lemons. not actually something you would think a 1 year old would munch on, but she went after them.
i had so much fun (despite the 110 degree heat index!) photographing little ava a few days after her first birthday.

if you know me, you know i LOVE babies. obsessed, really.
now that i am starting to realize my snuggling my own little newborn baby days are long gone, i always swoon when i know family or friends have been blessed by a new little one. you know i am the first one to want to cuddle that sweet baby! and no, i don’t share. :)
so lucky me, when we went to st. louis for a wedding, i had my very own 10+pounds of sweetness to cuddle with and photograph.

if i could use one word to describe Alicia (besides gorgeous!), it would be glowing.
even at 40 + weeks i didn’t hear one complaint or grumble about being overdue. she was all smiles and her portraits reflect her beauty.
can’t wait to photograph her little man.

i can’t stop talking about what i did today. we had our very own family photo shoot! never done that before, i must say, it is very different being on the other side of the lens.
but the most exciting part is who i hired to do it. deb schwedhelm.
i can’t say enough about what an amazing experience it was, or what a beautiful, loving, talent woman she is.
if you ever have a chance to have her take your portraits (she is moving to tampa, florida but does travel, y’all!) you wouldn’t regret it.
here i am plugging another photographer on my blog! ha! that is how amazing she is.

any way. enough about me. check out these two little cuties!
my first twins and boy are they sweet!

i love this picture. my sweet 15 month old was in the middle of saying ‘mama’ she has such a funny face when ever she says that, so i am glad i got it on camera.

i never get tired of hearing ‘mama’. i loathe the thought of the day when my kids are too big and just call me ‘mom’.

If I have learned one thing from my job, it is go with the flow. Babies will cry. Toddlers will hate you. Cakes will go un-smashed :) . If you sit, wait and maybe play, you will get those smiles you came for.

Little Ms. K is one of my all time favorite babies! I met her at 5 weeks old (see this blog post here ) and feel in love.
She is hands down the sweetest and happiest little thing, and look at those cheeks!

If there are a few things I love in this world, it is sweet girly clothing and vintage/antique items.
My grandparents were avid antique lovers. They owned their own antique shop in Weston, Missouri for many years.
As far back as I can remember, my grandfather would go to auctions and I would just watch all the people take pretty items home. I remember him telling me that bidding on the bundles of “junk” were always the best because you never know what could be in them.
Now that I am an adult, and both my grandparents have passed on, the love of going to auctions stays with me.
I can now share with you one of my awesome auction finds, an antique cradle. Which little Ms. L. looked so cute in!
