My Surprise Garden

Now that spring is here for sure (cross your fingers!) the tulips have bloomed! As well as a bunch of other little flowers in the garden I didn't know I had. And, while I pass the time until my next portrait session, I bet my neighbors think I'm a little crazy going out and taking so many pictures of the flowers in front of my house, hehe.

Turning 8

Tonight I had the opportunity to take some pictures of a very lovely little girl and her sweet baby sister. Just for clarification, this girl has three little sisters! And she is setting a beautiful example for them by getting baptized very soon. Wearing a white dress made by her mother, we met in a big field and had an audience of soccer players! It was a very fun evening!

Thank you Kenadi for letting me help you commemorate your very special day!

Daffodils

When we moved here, summer was ending and most of the flowers had already died. There were a few lilies in front of our mail box, but they didn't last very long after we got here either. So it was a welcome surprise yesterday to see beautiful yellow daffodils popping up along the rock wall in front of our house. I got one nice one yesterday, but I went out this morning as the sun was coming up to get a few more pictures; the grass was covered in thick dew and the sun backlit the petals of the little flowers perfectly. Too bad it always looks better in person.

A few outfits

I've been trying to work on my crocheting skills, and making newborn prop outfits. Hehe its fun.

Pope Family Portraits

I have been able to take lots of pictures lately! It's wonderful!

Tonight I went to take some family pictures of the Pope family. Mom, dad and two beautiful daughters delightfully humored me while I practiced with different lighting techniques and poses. We were lucky that the cloudy, yucky weather cleared up just in time as well! But no matter what the lighting, this lovely family would have looked amazing!  Thank you to the Popes for a fun evening!
