Blue Eyed Boys

These two little fellows were so fun to shoot! It was the little guy's first birthday a couple weeks ago and his big brother was there to help out. We couldn't resist taking a few pics of him, too. Lots of smiles, beautiful blue eyes and a container of Puffs made for a great day. This was one of the first shoots together for my new business partner and me. Having two photographers was wonderful and made the shoot go so smoothly... thanks Emily!

Ok, so it wasn't all smiles! That's where the Puffs came in...

Where to begin...

There are just so many great things to say about these two, I don't know where to start! I'll restrain myself and just tell you that their wedding was so much fun, which is really no surprise because they are always a blast. Maybe I'll think of something more enlightened to say at a later time, but I know Patty really wants to see these pictures, so I'll end it here. Hope you love the pictures!

I will say that I have tons of pictures of Patty because my awesome partner, Melissa, was with the guys during this portion of the day. (You can check those pictures on her blog www.melissariekephotography.wordpress.com) Didn't want Aaron to feel left out.

Christmas Joy!

The little man LOVED Christmas this year! It was so much fun to see him open his presents and spend time with family. Here are some of my favorites from our holiday festivities...

Plaza Lights Safari

On Saturday, my photographer friend (Emily Penke Photography) and I went on a Plaza Lights Safari with Digital Labrador. Digital Labrador let us borrow their amazing equipment, showed us some great locations and set us free on the Plaza. We had the best time! Now I need to choose four images to submit for their photo contest. Let me know which are your favorites in the comment area below or on facebook. Thanks for your help!!

Former Student

Last year, when I was teaching, I donated a photo session to the school auction. To my delight a super fun family with ridiculously cute kids, "won" the session! The oldest boy was the one in my class and he had me cracking up every time I saw him. After spending the morning with his family, I can see where he gets his sense of humor and his good looks!! Thank you so much for having me, I had a great time.

The mantle shot - too cute!

The star of the show.

Check out the blue eyes...

Oh how I love a screaming baby shot...

So can someone tell me what happens to our eyelashes as we grow up? I want mine to be this long!

Holiday Fun

The kids had lots of fun playing on the Christmas toys at Crown Center - maybe too much fun because when it was time to stop to take a picture, they were not thrilled! Good thing they are so darling and sweet that we got some great shots. Hope you enjoy!

I told you they weren't thrilled! But I kind of love it anyway.

High fives all around!

A little brotherly love.

The beautiful family in front of the giant Christmas tree.

Checking out the winter wonderland train scene. Or maybe wishing she could get ahold of one of the gingerbread houses - no wait that's what I was wishing...

Book Club Buddies

I mean really?! Could these boys be any cuter...

Their mom is a book club buddy of mine, so I had met the boys once before and couldn't wait to do this shoot. I knew they were darling, but this is just ridiculous!!

Brotherly love.

Playing in the plentiful fall leaves.

We tried to get them to walk hand-in-hand across the bridge, but this was about as close as we could get! I love that they both look so happy in this one.
