{All That Is Sweet}

I'm a sucker for sweetness.

This lil man is pure confection!

Total EYE CANDY!

I just wanted to eat him up today!

Happy 1st Birthday Mr. Sweetness!

{Just A Glimpse}

Just a glimpse at yet another beautiful new mother and her sweet 3 month old. I'm so lucky to witness this kind of bond. There is nothing like it!

{Miss E Turns One}

Dear Miss E,

I'ts been a pleasure to watch you grow. To see you smile, sit up and now walk and babble sweet words. Oh what joy you must bring to your family! A true blessing in so many ways. Today was bitter sweet for me though as it is with seeing all my sweet babies hit this milestone. It means I won't get to see you as often but I do look forward to our next meeting. What cute tricks will you be doing at 18 months? I know we will have fun! Until then, stay sweet and love your mommy and daddy and kiss them because they love you more than words....I'm sure of that!

XOXO,

T

{Waking Up With Fergie}

Nothing is more sincere than the relationship between a boy and his dog. Fergie loves all of her boys in different ways. She tends to snuggle more with Trevor (my middle son) in the early morning hours. Maybe it's because she likes his scent or his gentle touch but it's their special time I suppose. No interruptions from pesky brothers. I snapped these off this morning after waking them both up and I always get a kick out of the sweet nothings Trevor calls her. Sometimes it's... "Hello Little Miss Sunshine" but my personal favorite is "Sweet Bottoms." Don't ask me how she got this name. Nothing out of that area is sweet but it's his special name for her and he is the only one who calls her that. I just love that about him.

{Dog Gone Cute Expectations}

Mr. H and Family are expecting a new baby boy soon!

When I photographed this lil man for his 2nd birthday, he was a complete riot! He was toooooo DOG GONE CUTE!!! He loves his puppy Jasmine or "Jazzy" and so his mom thought it would be fun to have him feed his puppy some fun doggie ice cream for the casual portion of our session. With his permission, they gave me one for Miss Fergie to try which I thought was so sweet of him. So the last posted picture is for you, Mr. H.

A great big lick and thanks from our Miss Fergie. SHE LOVED IT!!!!!

Special Blessings to you and your family too, Mr. H.

I can't wait to meet your new brother.

Do you think he will love Jazzy as much as you do?

XOXO,

T

{New Baby for Mr. C & Company}

It feels like it was just the other month that I was taking newborn pictures of this lil man. His mother is one of the sweetest people I know and I was honored that she allowed me to take a few maternity photos for her before their new arrival makes his or her debut. Mr. C is so lucky to have such a beautiful mommy and family.

K & Family,

wishing you the best for your special delivery.

I can hardly wait!

XOXO,

T
