chucks and mud

This session had already been rescheduled once because of weather, so imagine my annoyance when I woke up the day of our shoot to snow. Big snow flakes all over the place. I decided that we would just go for it anyway. Snow's better than rain right? So with my ghetto ziploc bag covered camera in tow, I headed downtown in hopes that it wouldn't be a total bust. Snowing, snowing, snowing the whole way there. I parked and like the heavens parting, out came a crispy blue sky. Seriously just in time. We must have had some good mojo, cause it even stayed dry through our whole shoot. Yippee. I'm so glad cause look at these two.....


Are they ridiculously cute or what? Kelly found me by referral (Thanks Rachel!!) and it turns out that I grew up just down the street from her handsome little fiance. And although it made me feel old as the hills that he's old enough to get married, it was so fun to see him again. And we had a great time. Seriously. They wanted to do some urban photography which I LOVE! And lucky me, not only are they gorgeous with a dash or funky (she wore two different kinds of Converse "chucks"!), they also let me do whatever I wanted. Just a slice of heaven. Here's your peek guys. Hope you enjoy...













-they cracked me up, not only were they up for jumping pictures, but they even had names for the different jumps. These are not amateurs. hilarious...

One killer chick!

So this is the coolest chick EVER!! Her name is Kina Grannis and she is unbelieveabley talented. I stumbled onto a youTube video of hers and fell in love with her music. I pretty much have something of hers on all the time. I love how cheery, and beautiful her music is and she is so darling (and G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!) Ok, so the even more radical (just needed a little 80s pepper in here) part is this:

I've been looking for great songs that portray a feeling for my website and I'm on a quest to find great up-and-coming artists to feature. The other day I found this: .

It is so peppy and I thought it would be perfect backdrop for my gallery of kids. So, I, hope against hope, took a chance and just sent her an email to see if I could use it. And guess what? SHE SAID YES! How freakin lucky is that? I'm one happy chicken.

Kina, you are the BEST! I'll be passing your name along to everyone I know.

my offspring

I've just realized that it's been awhile since I've posted a picture of my little nino. So here is today's favorite...



don't you just want to squeeze him?

small

I realize that all I've been doing on this blogs lately is very small posts. We'll this is no exception. This session was full of all things small. Small fingers, small toes, small candies as bribes. The last small item was an absolute MUST. I came fully stocked with all sorts of bribes because it was for three small brothers. A 3 year old, a 2 year old, and a 3 week old! I was fully prepared for chaos, but it was absolutely NOT the case. These kids were FANTASTIC!! I'm totally blown away. They were hilarious and sooo well behaved (well done mom and dad!) It was a sweet sweet day. Jelly Bellies included.

So here is the briefest of previews, but I hope it will bring a little smile to your face....
