Happy 3rd Birthday Addyson!

This is the niece of a photographer friend of mine. When I showed up she looked at me like, "hey lady with the camera, where's my aunt Jamie?" She warmed up, especially when she saw she was going to get to play with BALLOONS! Little Addy is adorable and full of energy. I'm pretty sure she just ran for the entire hour. Along with mom and dad, I was exhausted. It was worth it. I got alot of cute expressions. Mission was a success! I hope you have a great birthday little Miss Addyson:)

funny face:)

The snake encounter

I almost forgot. This was the first time I ever saw a snake on one of my sessions. AND the first time the dad has ever caught the snake. AND the first time I have ever seen I little girl seem so interested in holding the snake. She's a little Bindi Jr. in the making. She had no fear. Meanwhile, me and mom were shrieking at a distance away. I still get the willy's looking at it.

The Youssefi Family

They are only 4 weeks away from adding another little girl to their beautiful family. It's very easy to tell the Isabella is the sunshine of the trio. She will be a great big sister. I'm sure she will show her all of the tricks. We had alot of fun. Mom and dad were very cute and very much in love and excited for their new arrival.

The Milovancev-Zeug families

This was a spur of the moment session and I think it turned out great. They were headed to a wedding so it was a perfect opportunity for a session where everyone is dressed up, hair done, and suits on. They both were perfect families. The kids were cooperative and they looked gorgeous. Despite the heat, I think everyone had a great time!

WOW...my neice Emma will be 3 soon!

She's a firecracker but we love her anyway. She is so animated in her expressions so it was hard to choose my favorites. I loved so many. I remember the day I held her in the hospital. Gosh....don't blink or it's gone. Happy 3rd Birthday Emma!

Happy 1st Birthday Josiah!

The weather this morning couldn't be more perfect for an outdoor photo shoot with this cutie. I can't believe it's been six months since his last session. Time flies! He had quite the morning exploring all the little stones, wet grass (no likey), and a train even came through. Let's not forget about the cake. He didn't eat it but did a great job smashing it flat as a pancake. The Collins family were headed back home tomorrow to North Carolina. So sad to see them go, but happy I was able to capture this momentous birthday for them.

Michelle and Bob

Michelle is one of those genuinely nice people. I've known her for years, so I am very happy that good things are happening to her. She and the love of her life, Bob, are so adorable together. They are one of those couples you see on the street and say "awww". Well, at least I do anyway. Brandywine Falls was the perfect, romantic spot for their engagement session. No one even noticed that it sprinkled nearly the whole time. We had so much fun. They were the first to try out my new floral bench prop. It worked great in the field. Perfect! Congratulations you lovebirds....I look forward to next September.

*notice the two trees, awesome*

A Mother's Blessing

One of my close friends is having her third baby...very soon...and we celebrated that tonight by celebrating her. Each birth should be celebrated no matter if it's the first, second or third and so on. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and Karrie wears it very well. We all got these awesome Henna tattoo's to commemorate the event. Nikki from "The Artful Cricket" was great, inking us one by one. We had a great time telling birth joys and celebrating life. We wish Karrie a safe and fast delivery and the baby a strong, happy and healthy life.
