Mr. J

Oh the places he has been! Since I first met this little guy on Christmas Eve eve, he has traveled near & far to meet all of his relatives, he is sleeping 7 hours (yes, in a row!) for his mom & dad on occasion, and been just an amazing addition to the lives of his entire family & their friends.

You are going to want to cuddle with him, too...

I LOVE baby feet, and look at all those lines! I have never seen that many...I even double-checked my own little guy's pictures (mainly because my husband didn't believe me), and Mr. J has him outdone by 2 or 3 times as many!
Oh, and these little baby rolls? And, the pouty lips? I couldn't get enough of those!
Mom had this hat ready to go for him on picture day. Such sweetness!
Wonderful story with this trunk - Dad gave it to Mom on their wedding day, with an amazing note about filling it during their future together. What a thoughtful gift & what a great way to represent their new family's beginning!

Thank you again, Kevin & Emily, for being such wonderful creative researchers & allowing me to capture this truly amazing time in your life!

Aww, Miss E

Oh my gosh. You are going to fall in love with this little girl. She was so sleepy, and cuddly, and cooperative (even when her two cousins showed up for a few photos) at 7 days old. Her parents are enjoying every minute with her, and it's hard to believe she is almost 2 months old now! Where does the time go...?

*I do have to put a little note in here about our lunch that day. My grandfather passed away on Veteran's Day (a WWII vet himself), and we had a family dinner after the funeral. To which my aunt, Doris, brought some AMAZING soup. Since then, I have become addicted. Of course I had to bestow a meal to these wonderful friends of mine, and what else could I bring, but Cactus Chili from Norm's Market in Jasper. Oh man, it is delicious. If you are ever that way, please do yourself a favor & get a bowl, a gallon, whatever! You will not regret it. I promise.

Back to the sweet babe..
Such a beauty.
Miss E's first diamond - a gift from her grandparents (a tradition continues, as Chrissy wears her own locket to this day)
Her Mom & Dad have such huge hearts, so I'm excited to watch them begin & expand their own branch of the family tree. Loved the decor in her nursery - especially the handmade quilt from the Quilting Girls!
It's hard work being so adorable...
Look. At. These. Curls. (complete with natural highlights!)

Again, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of this special time in your lives!

Lil' Miss LL

This little beauty was the first of my 3 newborn sessions in a row. Have I ever mentioned how much I love newborns? I'm pretty sure I have...  :  ) I was so happy to meet this sweet little girl, and happy to welcome her into our family of friends. My daughter has been pretending that she is also her little sister (because you know she wants a sister, instead of her brother). I told her I don't think Miss LL's big sisters would be too happy to hand her over! So, we will just have to visit them often, instead.

Stttretch! A special shout out to Kara Heichelbech, of Three Strands of Love, for the knit diaper cover!
I'm peacefully sleeping...and dreaming of good things to come!
Love smooshy faces!
What a great wall layout for photos! :  )    And another smile!  She is one happy little lady.
Sweet Sisters
The mystery dad (missing from our last outing) and his older girls.
And, the whole family, including Boots, the cat.
