whoa! i didn't believe i didn't share these sooner! i'm lucky to do what i love and love working with new clients. i think one of the biggest compliments i could ever have is to have returning clients. welcome back C family! these girls could be models, seriously. and tell me why the 3 ladies look like sisters?!?  this momma has found the fountain of youth. and dad is always dapper as ever!
all you need is love...

takoda is two! this lil guy was a total riot, and i loved it! he kept me on my toes, but we had a blast! dad is always so patient and mom just beams with pride at her lil guy. they are just the cutest lil family. mom had the cutest birthday outfit for him, but we will have to save that for another day. (((you know how kiddos call the shots!)))) i'm in love with his lashes...jeesh and check out that pout face! seriously koda, i could never say no to a face like that!

...throwback! babies grow too fast, i'm lucky enough to capture moments in time to treasure forever.

we're expecting...

to have just as much fun with baby number two as we have with lilly! so excited for this amazing family to be blessed with another lil' one. i would have shared the wonderful news in her valentine post, but mom needed to reveal the good news to family and friends first! from the looks of it, lilly is equally as excited!

...the sweetest valentine

this gal has my heart! i know i've said it before, but how lucky am i to be able to watch these amazing little beauties grow? i first met lilly 6 months ago and she is just delightful. her parents are awesome and are your "go with the flow" kinda people. it's obvious...lilly is the happiest, most relaxed baby, seriously. she melts my heart. and i think the baby levi's, oh they are just too cute for words!

i remember when...

he came home from his first day of kindergarten and said, "i'm ready to quit school, i don't like it." haha and here he is, a senior and i couldn't be more proud of the amazing guy he has become. his resilience is enviable and spirit will amaze you. congrats to the BEST brother i could ever have! oxo
