it's not about waiting for the storm to pass...

but rather learning to dance in the rain. literally. i was debating rescheduling this session because of the rain. momma had her heart set on adam joseph's first birthday session; and i'm glad she did. this session is a simple reminder that a little rain never hurt anything. we had a blast and as we were finishing up the rain stopped and we were even able to do a clothes change. sometimes things  just have a funny way of working out. enough about the weather, let me tell you how thrilled i am to FINALLY meet someone that likes cake as much as me. adam wasn't feeling the whole picture in the rain idea until momma whipped out his cupcake. then he was all smiles. of course big brother also had a cupcake and the look on his face when i asked him for a bite had me in stitches. but as much as adam loved his cupcake, i think he loves his grandpa just as much. thanks cheri, this session is one that i won't soon forget. oxo

this family...

makes my world go 'round. their sessions are always full of kid outtakes, belly laughs and memories that I will treasure forever. I feel like I blinked and little brother hunter is now two. how did this happen?!? I remember the first time I met this lil guy and couldn't believe just how itty bitty he was. hunter has grown into a independent, dirt loving, deer stand partner kinda kid. he is incredible. his brown eyes will melt your heart. his animated expressions show just how much fun he is. this session was bittersweet as now we have transitioned from the quarterly sessions to the yearly. (((but i was thrilled when mom mentioned a new cousin is joining the family in january, so i will get to catch up with these kiddos then)))
