It’s amazing how much he’s grown up in the past year! He was a champ…even if he was bribed with M&M’s 🙂

Noah & Jillian

I know I’ve said this before…but I truly love watching one family grow and change. The “K” Family is a great example; see here for two older posts. Jillian’s oh so stoic looks were my favorite:

Hanna

I’ve been neglecting my blog…turns out that whole wedding planning thing is pretty time consuming 🙂 We had a beautiful day full of love and laughter (see here for a preview), surrounded by family and friends. We couldn’t be happier, but must admit that we sighed a hefty sigh of relief when it was all over. Now onto married bliss, right?!?

Anyways, I’ve been meaning to blog some photos of our niece, Hanna (4 1/2)…we went to an apple orchard back in September. She’s already changed so much since then, hopefully I can get some updated pictures soon!

A Beautiful Backyard and Big Brown Eyes

Meet the “L” Family. They had the perfect backyard setting for our family photo session AND lone behold, it was only blocks from where I live! I was immediately captivated by Kai and Ava’s beautiful, big brown eyes.

Kai was a natural in front of the camera:

Ava made me really work for it…I’d hide around the corner and she’d be all giggles when playing, then she’d hear the camera shutter and I would get the most adorable, earnest attempt to hold back a smile:

And then…she couldn’t hold it back any longer 🙂

Thank you “L” Family!

the “F” family

Let me take you on a quick journey…

It starts in 4th grade (ish) when I meet a friend named Elizabeth/Liz/Lizzy. Fast forward through a few high school proms together, attending colleges hours apart, standing by her as she married her best friend, and finally ending up in the same metropolitan area. Over the past 3 years, I’ve had the opportunity to watch one of my best friend’s family grow. I couldn’t be more proud of her beautiful little family 🙂
