Finally...

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of my smart, beautiful, talented, athletic, funny, kind, and sweet niece! Seriously, she is all of the above and more and I am sooo proud of her. She was such a great model and I had lots of fun during our session!! Here are just a few from our session!

Thanks Kenzie!!!

4th in the East...pt2

Second to my lovely niece, the other member of my brother's family that was willing to allow me to take their picture was Joy! Joy captured all of our attention during our visit. We would have loved to take her back to Indy, but there was one little exception...Nicholas!! Nicholas loved Joy from a distant, but the minute she was in his eyesight he was climbing on the highest, tallest thing.

Meet Joy!!!

One moment please...

Before I post the other pics from our 4th in the East, I have to take a moment to share with you my last session. On Sunday, I had the opportunity to spend some time with Little Miss Nautica. I had several ideas of the pictures I wanted to take of Nautica, but she didn't want any part of it. But, that was okay, we just incorporated Mom and Dad into pictures. This turned out to be one of my favorite sessions!!!

Awww...doesn't this one melt your heart?


Look how pretty Mom is...



I love the emotion captured in this one.


...and the entire family.

4th in the East...

I am so excited about the next several posts I will be posting!!! My sweet, sweet niece called me in May and asked if we would come visit them. After talking it over with Melvin, we decided we would take a road trip over the 4th of July weekend to Virginia/DC...PERFECT! Of course, one of the first things that came to my mind was PHOTO SHOOT...different places and fresh faces!!! No mumbling and grumbling(Tre), no running away(Nicholas), and we get to spend time with family. To say I was excited is an understatement.

My sister in law's niece and her family came over, so of course I took a couple of snaps of them and here are the results!!




What a beautiful family!!

Jalen and Kylie

You may remember Jalen from my post a couple of weeks ago, but this is Kylie's first appearance on my blog, but hopefully not her last. She was very comfortable in front of the camera and my camera loved her...really LOVED her!! I could have snapped pics of her all day!

Her little cousin on the other hand had his own agenda!!! He is more into climbing, walking(yes, he has started walking since our last session) and putting anything he can find in his mouth. Those are all the signs of a BUSY little boy!!! During the times he slowed down just a little, I was able to capture some cute pictures of him, which makes it all worthwhile!!!










Kylie's dad got in on the action too!




...and one more from Jalen's 1st session!
