Two Year Olds

Sneak peaks for a couple of two year olds. Two year olds are always the most work. They usually are just finding their independence and don't want to perform on command. Usually if they are going to do it, it has to be their idea. But when you can get them to open up they usually are some of the best photos ever. These two both gave me a run for my money.... but I always have loved a challenge!

Cutest little gals!

These two little gals were adorable. (but of course aren't they all?!?!?!) Miss "A" was the happiest thing ever, except when she got hungry... but can you blame a gal for that?!?! Here's you little sneak peaks from the session, hope you enjoy!

Then we had little miss "L". She has the most beautiful and perfect lips I have ever seen on a child! All of the shots were so precious, but theres one, that just takes my breath away! Its a little bum shot (with my carefully positioned logo over the important parts). This one would be going huge in my house. Yes, my child would probably hate me when they are older, but I wouldn't be able to help myself! What kind of a mom could resist a cute chubby little tush like this!?!?!?! Angie, please order at least one of this image to make me happy! :)

Some highlights from last week

Quick post... I'm up way to late, and have sick kids (yes again) so I'm sure Ill be up allot during the night but I wanted to get these sneak peaks out for a couple of clients. The first 2 sweet things were new clients, and then the second two are "oldie but goodies". Becky was one of Kim and I's first clients and this session was so much fun. Little miss "A" finally was full of smiles for the first time in a while, and Little Miss "P" was in full model mode! Enjoy!

Here we go again...

Start of another week! The weekends just seem to fly by! I swear time passes so much quicker once you have kids! Little Miss "L" has been one of my baby planners, and this was her one year session! I love so much to get to see the little ones grow and change each session! This was by far my favorite session with her, we got so many good smiles and laughs, I will miss seeing her every three months! :)

Also posting a peak for the proud parents of a set of identical newborn twin girls! Congrats on their healthy arrival! They were precious and perfect in every way! Newborn twin girls... oh how that takes me back to those first few weeks! Mom and dad seemed to be doing well (of course, sleep deprived, but seemed to be doing great with their new blessings! Thanks so much guys for inviting me in to capture these first few days with your little miracles!

Keep Believing

(this picture was dug out from the depths of my drawers of old pictures, and yes, that is quite the hair!)

This Monday evening, my oldest and first friend from UMR (my roomie in the dorms) lost her husband of 13 years. She is such an amazing woman, and has shared her story through her blog entitled "Keep Believing". I had lost contact with Angie since college and found her on facebook. (yes, I'm a facebook junkie). Brian was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor just one month after they were married in 1997. Brian was also from UMR in the same class as we were. He was only given 4-5 years to live, but defied the odds and lived 13 full years and together they had 2 children. Angie has made me appreciate my family more completely, both the ups and the downs with her unwavering faith and positive attitude. May God Bless you and your family Angie, and may I only have half the strength and Grace you have had through your journey.

God Bless you and keep you and your boys close, and my God welcome Brian home to his final resting place in Heaven. Keep Believing! http://www.aboneill.blogspot.com/
