My mother may kill me for posting a photo of her, but I love it. Its a candid of her and her best friend Cindy doing what they love (sewing) and having a fantastic time together. Moments like these aren't often captured near enough.

Busy busy picture day! After quickly deleting those which won't be edited, I still had over 400 images between a birthday party, family photo shoot and hanging at my moms house with a very photogenic almost-2yr old! In the end this was the funniest of the day as Hailey here looks like she's basking in the sun.

Was a busy week with lots of photos and ending with colds for me and my sweet girl. Sorry to any of my faithful followers for being late! Today I went and did a family photoshoot for some friends of friends. The family was a great joy to work with an we had a great time even though I asked them to do crazy poses - like this - next time I'll have to set a faster shutter speed.

A summer without a camping trip is so depressing! So I showed miss L how to make redneck roasted mellows. Hopefully next summer will be filled with campfires and hikes galore!

Tonight I spent a little bit of time with this wonderful little family. I've know Ivanna since our kiddos were still baking in the oven! This was one of my favorites from the shoot (the funniest one she'd probably kill me if I posted), she hasn't seen any yet and might follow my blog so I hope she likes this one as much as I do :)

Yesterday my cousin, who I haven't seen in many years, came over with her husband and son to BBQ with us and have some family photos done. This probably isn't the best picture out of the bunch, but I loved how the sunlight hit his face and the bookah leaving the tree in the background looking like its sparkley.
