Beautiful night sky

I was able to see the 4th of July Fireworks from my parents backyard. I had fun capturing these images. There is something magical to me about fireworks. The combination of beauty and power, they take my breath away. These were just a few of my favorites.

Nothing but smiles,

I was able to take pictures for this amazing family again this week. Their "little" man turned one last weekend. I have been taking his pictures every 3 months since he was in mommy's belly. I just LOVE doing sessions with this family. H is a dear friend of mine and it is always comfortable to capture them in pictures. They are always up for any adventure and throw some new ones my way as well. I really enjoyed this session. I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites to put up as a little preview. I have a ton more to go through and edit, but these were some of my initial favorites.
B is such a happy kid. It is hard to get pictures of him NOT smiling. His smile makes anyone around him want to smile and laugh with him. Happy first year of life little man!


We have been trying to get at least a few pictures of B with this dog every 3 months. Now that he is walking, it was a little more challenging! At least we got a few though!
Momma and her boys

What I love about this picture is I have almost the same image of Daddy throwing big brother A in the air for his 1 year pictures as well. (tells you how long I have been taking pictures of this family! )
Like I said, I never quite know what this family will throw at me! They are such a fun, loving, caring family and I love capturing those emotions in the images. It is always a fun time.

Big Brother A was not in a big smiling mood, but I caught him being goofy for me. He is such a sweet, adventurous kid who does not slow down a lot. It was nice to capture him just taking a moment to lay on the blanket and be.
This crazy family wanted to end the shoot in their pool. It has the most amazing blue tile and H thought it would come out great in pictures. Man, was she right. I am just in love with the rich color in these. The boys could not sit still in the water for long, so why not swim towards me! It was so much fun doing something so different.


I have been getting really into combining color and black and white in the pictures. I could not resist with these pool shots. I still can not get over the blue.
H and J I hope you enjoy what I put up here. I really have enjoyed capturing the first year of B's life. What an amazing family you have. I am so thankful to have you as friends. Enjoy these and there are lots more to come!
