Anderson Family

"You don't raise heroes, you raise sons.  And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes."  ~Walter M. Schirra, Sr.

I had the most AMAZING time in Kansas City this past weekend!  My first family of the day was the Anderson family.  That was one fun group of rowdy boys (minus Chrystal of course!).  ;)  I kept catching myself picturing our family in years to come.  As sweet as little girls are, I think I would be completely ok with a house full of boys just like this family!  :)

I really loved getting to meet the Andersons and making new friends.  Here are a few

of my favorites!

And of course...where there's boys, there's a football. Love the intensity. ;)

Dayleigh Jade

Oh my goodness.  This little angel couldn't have been a better little model!!  She's so so so tiny and precious!  I have enjoyed SO MUCH getting to be involved in her and her momma's life these last few weeks!  Carlye is a dear friend of mine and she certainly has a special place in my heart.  I talked her through "boy problems" as a young teenager ;), and now I'm getting to watch her go through this amazing experience of being a mom.  I know it's so so so hard, but so worth it.  She is a passionate and loving mother and I am so proud of who she has become.  Love you, Carlye!

Check out this adorable room! LOVE all the owls! :)

I saved my favorite for last. This image makes me tear up EVERY time i see it. I can literally feel the love that Carlye has for her sweet little baby girl.

Maggie

My beautiful niece, Maggie, has accomplished something big!  She decided to grow her hair out so that she could donate it to Locks of Love.  Isn't that precious and so giving of her?  She is getting is cut tomorrow, so we ran out tonight to grab some photos of her gorgeous locks.  I had a friend come along on the shoot, and we just had a great time!  Enjoy the sneak peak!

Mudslide!

These photos redefine a Mudslide! ;) My hubby had a big hole dug in our back yard over the weekend and Tucker has had SO much fun with it! The first words out of his mouth every morning when he wakes up are, "May I go play out in my dirt pile now??" I love having little boys! This kid melts me and I love love love being his mommy. :)

Garrison Family

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph the Garrison family again! Their little man is amazing....and HILARIOUS. This whole family is so joyful and I just love getting to visit with them. :) Here's a sneak peek of today's session!



















And this picture I posted just because I could NOT. STOP. LAUGHING when I saw it!! This was mid-sneeze and his face after the sneeze was even better, but I missed it. Lol! :)

Lee Family

Today was the day of new things! I got my NEW camera in the mail, went to a NEW location, and photographed a NEW family! And I loved every bit of it. :)
Every Thursday I play the piano for the homeschool choir here in Mtn. Home, and Miss Pam watches my 2 boys for me! I have really enjoyed getting to know her and her sweet kiddos!
Here are a few of my favorites from today. :)

















They brought along their pet rabbits for a few shots. What fun. :)


And this is the momma responsible for these precious kids! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL? :)
