I'ts beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

It's this beautiful baby girl's first Christmas, and what a joy she is to her family! Such a sweet heart. The weather didn't cooporate with us for outside photos ( it was rainy and cold)... so we made our own weather indoors with a little help from photoshop. I think these should make for some super cute Christmas cards! Now, I need to start working on my own ;)

Oh Boy, Oh Boy....

Yesterday I spent some time with this adorable couple who is anticipating the arrival of their twin boys this January. How exciting! Next time I see these guys their family will have grown by 4 feet :) In the meantime, they wanted some family shots with their awesome pup while he is still the "baby" of the family... he was filled with kisses for his "mom" and "dad".

Some End of Fall Fun...

I think this will be the last of our fall fun photos... but not bad considering we are at the end of November all ready :) I spent some time running around with these beautiful kiddos on Wed. afternoon at their grandparents house. Their "poppy" had raked up and saved the last of the fall leaves for the kids to jump in. Another fun shoot, with another beautiful family... I love these last shots with the grandparents, so precious!

Happy Birthday Ava ....

Tuesday evening I spent some time with baby Ava, her mom, dad, and her super friendly puppy dog. It's an exciting time for her family... she is turning one next week, and expecting a baby brother or sister in just a few months too. It was so fun to follow her around the park as she sported her one year old walking skills and found lots of treasures with her mommy. So much love!
P.s- I know the pup pic isn't the greatest quality, but I had to put it up, I just love it so much:)

If you're happy and you know it....

It's official... I love this kid ! I first met Mr. B and his parents when he was just over 2 weeks old. I got to see him last month for a little at the pumpkin shoot, and this weekend I spent some time with him and his parents taking 6 month/ Christmas photos. He is soooooooooo smiley... I love the way he folds his hands together at his chest when he smiles with pure delight. I think I had a smile on my face the entire time I was editing, he is such a happy little guy!

Birthday Boy...

This adorable little guy turns one on Thanksgiving day this year! What a lucky little guy he is to have such a cool family. These guys were actually the largest family I have photographed yet, and it was a fun learning experience. I was so amazed with mom and dad and how they lead the troops... I get stressed with one kiddo sometimes, and these guys juggled 4 with ease. What a beautiful fun crew they have!!

Sneak Peek....

I met this wonderful family this past weekend. Mom had shared a bit of their story on the phone with me when we spoke the week earlier, and I was moved by the love in her voice when she spoke about her children, her family, and the journey they had been on these past few years. Her smile fit her voice when she answered the door on Saturday, and then I was quickly greeted by an bright eyed six year old girl who was just as beautiful as her mom had described her. "Miss B" we will call her, took me in and introduced me to her adorable baby brother who was almost half the size that she was! :) I will call him "Mr. S"... and maybe S is for silly, because his smile was quite contagious!  He was so proud of his big sister as he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Dad was very cool too... and to boot they had two fun cats... and one was named Tasha :) It was a joy to meet these guys and photograph their beautiful family! Here is a sneak peak into the shoot.

Fun at the Farm... sneak peak

Saturday afternoon I met up with Eric and Lillian to take some new family photos for them. I had photographed Lucas just after his first birthday last winter, and as soon as he saw me.. I think he remembered, because I was greeted with a look of " oh no... not again!". This time was a lot more fun though for sure... cows, tractors, electric fences :0, cats that try to follow you home, swinging high in mom and dad's arms.. a farm is a fun place for a little boy. Hey, lets be honest... I think a farm is a fun place for anyone. I wonder if I actually convinced Lillian who is a relocated New Yorker?! Anyway, I had a lot of fun with these guys... another totally awesome family!!!

Fun at the Park Round 3

Ok, so I know a blog post is supposed to be short and sweet... but this one is going to be long and sweet (photo wise anyway) because there were just too many adorable photos from this shoot to pic a "few" of my favorites. I photographed Erin and Justin at the park last Sat. afternoon then... and ran around with them and their little man just before sunset. Caleb was totally haming it up for the camera and had such a good time with his awesome mom and dad...What a cute family!!!

Fun in The Park Round 2

I met Tara yesterday at the park to get a few photos of the girls in the leaves since the ground was so wet last weekend. They are so cute, I just can't get enough of them... and Noah "Joey" (as Lyla called him :) had a lot of fun too!

Fun at the Park

Last weekend I met this beautiful family at Trexler Park to get some last minute fall photos. Unfortunately, it had rained pretty heavy the day before so we had to dodge a lot of wet ground.... but with these fun families it was hard to go wrong!  I had photographed Tara and Ben's family (at top) earlier in the year, and it was so much  fun to catch up with them and their adorable girls! Tara's sister Erikka brought her beautiful baby girl along, this was Brynn's first photo shoot, she is a born model though, look at that smile : )

City of Brotherly Love....

Time to play catch up... before we went on vacation I got to take an adventurous walk through downtown Bethlehem with these awesome little men and their very awesome mama. Our walk was complete with running, jumping, yelling, and even licking walls... so much fun exploring a city through the eyes of two little boys!  Noah loved it too as he was along for the ride :) We love you Miss Leah and your adorable crew too!!
