Instead of being overwhelmed, I’m going to sum it up.  Every week, I do a sheerly mad amount of photo sessions.  Most never end up on the blog because I’m busy and really don’t know where to start.  SO, this week I start taking a week’s worth of sessions, choosing a few and summing up the week.

To die for curls…

The sweetest couple with a baby named Ruby.  Love.

A family photo session at home.  Just documenting day to day life.  The best kind.

Documenting a first birthday.  Bonus points if you can guess the location.

I’m dropping by the blog for a quick second to say hi…week two of being away from home has started and we are having a blast.  I’m lucky to be able to carry my laptop wherever we go and fit work into the cracks of family life.  That’s what summer’s all about, right!?

The kids are off to an insane game of dodgeball…at 9pm.  Again, only in the summer…  Tomorrow we’ll be doing things like spending hours at the pool, making crafts and taking hikes.  What a great life!

As I run off to the game of dodgeball, I’ll leave you with a few adorable pictures of twin boys and their super sweet big brother.  PS- I love how their mom dresses them.  Perfect mix of color/prints!

Here’s a handful of pictures from Rascals to Rebels 2 weeks ago.  I was so happy with the way the backdrop turned out.  My brother-in-law found me the barnwood…perfectly distressed and my father-in-law worked it into a backdrop that perfectly fits into our SUV so I can truck it around town and such.  He even gave me a little training in how to lift and carry it so I don’t hurt myself. 🙂

Anyway, between this fabulous century old wood and the festive bunting, I was extremely excited to meet all the kids that were going to be photographed over the weekend.  And can I just say that the moms BROUGHT IT in the outfit department.  I mean cuter than I could have styled myself.  Simply adorable.

I’m so lucky to be able to work with Rascals to Rebels and photograph so many cuties in their clothes!

I’m so excited about this next photo session…I love going to the bay.  Last year I went back time and time again.  Always something a little different, always something new to explore.  This year, I wanted to add a little twist, so I added a few props and I’m smitten.  The little hand sewn fish and the romantic white chair are the perfect whimsical touches.  (I made them in all different colors and sizes, then accented with a cute little contrasting button! 🙂 Of course, you don’t have to include any of the props in your beach session, but I think they add such a fun to the photos.

I tried a vintage-style editing too…and it also looks great!

And a huge thanks to Addison for being my little muse this morning!

With Lady Gaga everywhere you turn, I have those lyrics in my head.  Not that that’s a good thing.  But, as I was going through Baby Jax’s  pictures, I was amazed at how he was smiling in so many of them.  I love babies with a happy temperament.  It’s like they enter the world ready to melt hearts.  I know the technical answer is that it’s not really a smile, but I choose not to believe that.  I believe their tiny little personality is showing itself…even at days old.
