Introducing Gus. 

Or Gussy Gussy poo poo smoochy kissy loverkins . . .  Yeah, it’s pretty sickening.

We love him and his warm kitty breath and snuggly fur. 

He smells like cookie dough. He’s delicious :)

These two . . .

June 10th, 2010 | Children, Maryland child photographer, Maryland family photographer, mine

inspire me, exhaust me, delight me, bring out the best AND worst in me, love me unconditionally, love each other (as long as the other one isn’t touching their stuff, eating their food, touching them, sitting in the “good” chair, looking at them wrong . . .)

We went up to Hershey to celebrate Noah’s 6th birthday – remember when vacations meant eating at nice restaurants, staying out late, sleeping in and lounging all day at the pool?  Yeah, not so much with 2 little kids who wake with the sun (well, not Emme, she is my lazybones), won’t sit for more then 10 minutes in a restaurant and force you to got to bed at 8:30pm because you are sharing a room AND a bed with them.  oy vey. :)

But Noah had a great time and that’s good enough for me – my one request was a little photo shoot in the fabulous Hershey Gardens -so beautiful! 

I wish I lived closer so I could shoot there every day . . .

My son was looking at these with me and he said the photo of Noah at the side of the pool is “the best photo he’s ever seen.” He says it’s so clear…it’s looks like a cartoon jumping out at you!” I thought that was an awesome description! :) Love them, as always!

I know you don’t want to hear this…but your daughter is looking so grown up. Even from just like 8 months ago. What beauties you have and I love all the treasures you capture!

The best part of me is always you

Happy 6th birthday to my son Noah. 

You have grown so much this year.  Now you read me a book before you go to sleep instead of the other way around.  You can swim like a fish and ride your bike like a natural.  Even though you are growing up so fast, thank you for still letting me sing you a song and give you a back rub before you go to sleep – I know those days are numbered. 

You are amazing and it is a privilege to be your mommy :)

Dear Farmer . . .

April 20th, 2010 | Children, Maryland child photographer, mine

Please don’t ever mow this field.  I would be so grateful.  Thank you.

 

OK, one of these needs to be a canvas -pictures of the two of them together looking not miserable are rare!

 

Emmes’s outfit is by Matilda Jane Platinum.

Wildflowers . . .{Maryland Child Photographer}

April 16th, 2010 | Children, mine

I drive past this patch of beautiful yellow wildflowers every day – I was dying to get some pictures of Emme in them, and LO AND BEHOLD, she cooperated for 10 minutes so I could take these shots.  The bag of m&ms waiting for her in the car may have had something to do with it.  We shot these right as a storm was coming in and the sun was peeking in and out of big grey/blue clouds. Awesome.  It was also very windy and, being right next to a farm, smelled like cow poop.

 But you probably didn’t need to know that. Carry on! :)
