My Kids Lids Fall 2011

Once again this year I have had the privileged of working with Katie, the owner of My Kids Lids. I adore Katie and her designs. We always have a blast working together and we have the best models! Her line keeps expanding each year, bringing in new adorable must haves for your children! This year the bracelets, headbands and hair clips are to die for! You must get some for you little one! Not to mention the little purses she has too. Oh My Goodness!!! This is the perfect time of year to grab a few item from My Kids Lids as well- fill those stockings with cozy fleece hats, scarves, purses and much more! 

Trains, Kids and a lovely Family.

 Meeting this family was just so much fun! I have to imagine that there is a lot of laughter that goes down in this family. The smiles were completely captivating and the love towards each other was amazing. We ventured down to the local train station, it was a beautiful day! The sun was shinning and we headed over to the old train. We were stopped in our tracks though and had very stern instructions to not go on them or touch the track. So, we obeyed. It was very hard to obey, but the train conductor stood watching to make sure we stayed in line. 

Thank you so much! It was wonderful meeting your beautiful family. I do not think I have laughed so much in a session- you all are great! {even the little bit cranky one. ;) }

Baby Fi and Family.

Welcome to the world little one. 

 Sweet baby Fi is the newest addition to my best friends family. Stacy and I have been friends for a very long time...I feel old saying that we met 16 years ago! I love being able to still have a close relationship and I love watching out families grow. Stacy and Brian have such a beautiful relationship, and these two amazing kids are proof of that! 

mother. daughter. love.

When I prepare myself for my sessions I go through the usual check list- cards, lenses, battery and so on.  But with this absolutely wonderful lady, I must never forget my running shoes. The only problem, I forgot. I was so excited that I had found my favorite boots in the basement, that I threw them on and headed out the door. Now they are comfortable, but they are in no way a running shoe. And when one is photographing my dear miss {a}, you need to remember you will be running, a lot! Right mom? 

 Words can not explain they way that these two touch my life. There is a bond between them that is unsurpassed. Being around them inspires me to me a better mom. I love just watching the relationship they have. I have gotten to know Rebecca over the past few years and I look up to this woman so much. She is strong, confident and beautiful. She is miss {a}'s rock and protector. I love you two so much and am so blessed to call you friends. Watching you two over the past few years has been a joy, there has been pain involved at times, but your grace and dedication to each other is captivating. Enjoy you pictures- I am just in love with them all!
