Not your average family portrait

I had a family portrait session yesterday near Bristol Harbour. Normally I {kind of} dread family sessions. Most times I never know what I'm in for, or how they're going to be, or what they are going to want. Yes, yes-these are all questions we ask on the phone, but you never really know until you meet them.

Boy was I surprised by the Swart family. Fun, and lovely!

Especially Grampa Bob!

And Nicholas (the dog) too.

Happy Father's Day Will! {Leah's daddy}

Griffin

Andre

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it!

I love babies-have I said that before? I don't mind the crying, the peeing, or even being pooped on! Little Andre tested that theory, and I passed! My only regret was not asking Connie to grab the camera and photograph it.

Congratulations Connie & Roger, he is amazing!

Baby Fischer

Little Fischer. What a little man he is already. Seven weeks old, and a brute! He can hold his head up, and even likes to flex those big baby guns. {This might come in handy with the ladies}

He's got the greatest mom, and dad.

What a great adventure they are about to begin!

There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings.

Terri and Jason Rock!

Mark and I had the greatest time ever at Terri and Jason's wedding this past Saturday. The first wedding held at the Village Gate. It was a-mazing! Beautiful people, great weather and a phenomenal location! See for yourself!

Lake Placid~Ironman Training

This was trip number one for the year for Mark's Ironman training.

Have you ever been to a place that you never wanted to leave? This is one of those places. Lake Placid is so calm, and peaceful~ yet so full of life.

There is always something spectacular to do. And when we visit in July for the Ironman-we plan to do it all! Or at least two things :)

{Any suggestions?}

While Mark was on his 60 mile bike ride, I got to play guide, and photographer, and videographer. And I only got us lost once!

{sorry honey}

Tyler "2" ~ Family Portraits

Who doesn't love a little boy who loves him mommy, daddy, and tractor? Happy 2nd birthday Tyler!

Cason is 2!

So, wow! I have watched this little guy grow up over the past couples years, and I can't believe he's two already! That flew by.

He's talking, and he loves motorcycles, trains, Nee-nee, and his momma.

{and he has hair now too}

Happy Birthday Cason!

Awaiting Andre

After much planning, and scheduling we finally found a time for Mark and I to meet up with our friend Connie, her beau Roger and little Gracie. And how amazing are the photos?

Pure awesome!

We can't wait to meet baby Andre, ~only a few weeks left Connie.

Isn't she beautiful?
