rub a dub dub, vivi in the tub

i def do not photograph my own child like i thought i would. i have been meaning to take bath time photos of her forever because she LOVES her bath sooooo much. mainly this is because i am always the one giving her the bath. but tonight i twisted her daddy's arm, so that i could snap some shots of her. she is getting so big. i can hardly believe in just a few weeks she will be a year old. it seems like just 5 minutes ago i was in the hospital having her. everyone tells you to enjoy every second because it goes by so fast. everyone is right. and i truly make it a point to soak it all in, because i realize that in the blink of an eye she'll be grown.

mollie makes 5

this family just got home a couple of weeks ago from adopting their 5th child-mollie, from china. she was so sweet, i could've taken her home with me! all of the kids were just darling actually. usually the number of children in a family photo tends to add to the complication of the shoot, but with this crew, it really didn't!

mason

such a cutie patootie!!

noah

such a sweet family :-) and what about noah there with those big baby blues...he was a hoot!

fall fun ya'll

for this session i actually went out to fredricksburg where the family lives to shoot. we had another location chosen, but that day, it ended up not working out & i'm glad-because the backdrop we ended up with was beautiful! the first image shows it. i did no editing on this photo at all. the color is completely natural.

let's just talk about elise's freckles. they are flat out amazing. i LOVE freckles! oh my gosh & adam with those big baby blues. talk about a heartbreaker...

of course leaves are the favorite background/prop in october ;-)

his expression says it all
