“Sunkissed” faces

These boys definitely have ‘em! After swimming at the waterpark this afternoon and traipsing through the cornfields this evening they’ve got to be worn out. They were such good sports, I had so much fun photographing them!

I really felt lucky as I drove home tonight. Lucky that I get to do what I love and be around great people at the same time. Lucky that I get to laugh and run around the cornfields and watch the sunsets all while searching for that perfect light that will produce great images.

Growing up

Take a look at these gorgeous little girls in matching pink dresses. Nope, they’re not sisters. Close though . . . These are photos of my two best friends and their daughters. All three of my good friends from high school each had a baby girl this past year. Hopefully someday I can join them! ha ha

We did a photoshoot in June when L was in town and had so much fun watching the two young ones interact. With nothing but a vintage quilt and the green grass as our background it was a very casual, comfortable time.

And these last couple of photos just melt my heart. We thought we were all done but when baby snuggled into mommy I couldn’t resist. They were playing and then she just laid down on mommy’s cheek and stuck her thumb in her mouth. Priceless!

Getting ready for kindergarden

Well we went back to the “locker graveyard” last night to take photos with a little guy that will be starting kindergarden next month. We played on the playground and got shots with his 18 month old sister. So happy to get to “hang” out with these guys last night. Literally, we “hung” out on the monkey bars together. Amazing, because I clearly remember those monkey bars being a lot taller! Guess it’s been a few years since I played on that equipment.
I always have such a good time with these kids. Plus their parents are just so cool. So down to earth and easy to talk to. I truly value their friendship.
