Little Miss C - Columbia, SC

I had a fun session tonight with little miss C. Isn't she adorable? Mom and I met through a local playgroup. I think C wondered where my crazy kiddos were when I showed up alone. She has such great energy! We started at a beautiful park across the street from their house, had fun running around with the dogs and ended in the neighbors yard laughing at poot noises and tearing up flowers ;)

Here is a sneak peek for the parents and grandparents. I don't know if I can pick a favorite!!

I love sun rays!


The little bubble just tops this one off!


Look at those beautiful blue eyes...

Birthday fun

Well, the party has come and gone and now I'm trying to get back to work before the craziness of preschool starts next week. When did my baby grow up and become a 3 year old preschooler?!?

Here are a few pics from the party. I played mom instead of photographer and it was nice to enjoy the day! C is recovering from his first ever ear infection and a case of pink eye that he was kind enough to share with his baby brother. Yes, this all started on the day of his party - fun stuff!

Aren't these cookies the cutest?! They were made by a friend from Charleston. I think she should go into business! My mom made the cake! She always made my cakes growing up (and should have started her own business as well). I'm so glad that we are able to carry on the tradition with my boys. This is up there with my fave of all time!


*I just want to mention... I was in mommy mode... These are purely snapshots for documenting the day... Don't hold it against me!* :)

THREE

I cannot believe the day has come and gone..... My oldest is now THREE. Wow... How did that happen? Wasn't it just yesterday that I first found out we were pregnant?! I know you all can relate. It just goes by SO fast. R will be one soon and my head is spinning - I have no words for how fast this last year has gone, but the last three have certainly been faster than I could have imagined!

He is still my baby, but being on the tall side, he hasn't been "little" for... oh... 3 years ;) At least he still lets me cuddle and sing to him when he's in the mood.

If you ask, he will say he's "Thirteen". He did say 3 first thing this morning, but that didn't last long. I'm sure it will be here before I know it.... For now, I won't rush a single minute...

Snapshot of him from this morning before we made it out of pjs:

(note the eyes are still glued to the TV and the cheese face he thinks he now needs to deliver when the camera is out... oh joy)

Summer fun with friends

After playing with the new baby boy, I went to the beach to play with some bigger kids and their families. They were friends in their pre-kid days and they are spending their summer vacation together on Sullivan's Island. I look forward to the day when we can do this with our friends. Life just seems to be really crazy right now. Is it just me?!

Anyway, We had a great time running around on the beach and playing in the dunes. With 4 kids under the age of 4, they have quite the full house of energy! They were all so much fun!

Here is a sneak peek for the group - I hope you are all having a fun week!

... and a boy.

I'm always up for a newborn session! While packing for my Charleston beach session, I was called and asked about a newborn session for a baby born 2 weeks ago... Well, luckily, I was going to be there for two nights and had a block of time to fill! Typically I like to have the due date in mind so we can plan, but it's always fun to be surprised with a fresh new little one... Who can resist?!

This guy was SO good to me! He was so sleepy and perfect the whole time. He smiled more times than I could count.

E - Thanks for letting me play and I'm glad it worked out so perfectly all around! :) Here is your sneak!

A girl!

I'm SO excited for all of the babies set to arrive in the next few months! The response to the Maternity/Newborn special has been great! *Only 4 days left!*

Look out for a lot new baby bumps and tiny newborns this fall!

We started it off right with "Bump O". I was looking forward to meeting A&F today. I love meeting first time parents and seeing the excitement and joy on their faces when they talk about their soon-to-arrive baby! :) Momma (and Daddy too) has such great style and again (as I seem to do when pink is involved) I gasped when I saw the nursery! Little Miss O is going to be so pretty in pink!

Here is a sneak peek for Mom and Dad. I had a great time today and I can't wait to meet baby O in a few short weeks!

Christmas?... but it's 100 degrees outside!!
