sweet little siri:

i love this plant that siri is laying in.  is was nice and soft and not itchy like grass.  does anybody know what it is called? 

siri had some really good silly faces! 

she can also be serious too. 

this is my favorite shot of the day. 

we got to shoot this awesome family on our recent trip to washington dc.  meet lisl, stoehr, kieran, kaden and kohler ( and yes, we practiced their names 50 times on the drive up)!  they were so great to work with and lisl is a photographer too so she had lots of great ideas.  be prepared, we had tons of favorites!

of course, we had to do some with mom + dad. i love these.

this one was totally lisl's idea- brilliant! 

we loved this quote in their house- so true

each of the boys are sitting under their self-portrait.  i love that lisl had these hanging up, so sweet! 

these boys are so cute. heartbreakers, I tell ya. this is kohler and we love that he likes to play beatles songs on his guitar- and he's only 12.  seriously.

thanks guys!  I think this goes down as our favorite family shoot yet! 

this is david and his 3rd grandson, elliot.  we have really enjoyed getting to know the entire family through our past photo sessions.  these two cuties are david's daughter's sons.

this is grandson number 1, robert.  the first time we photographed him, he was a tiny little baby! 

robert and dad and mom. 

elliot's sweet little baby feet. 

crawling, eating grass, and licking black walnuts is hard work!  i love this determined face.

elliot and mom. 

elliot and dad. 

warning:  lots of bum shots.  : )  can't decide which one to order?  get a storyboard!

i am almost out the door to our first spring wedding (there is a major thunderstorm going on right now, rain and hail are pouring down).  "they" say that it is good luck if it rains on your wedding day.  katie and grady are going to be very lucky!

while we are out check out these sweet newborn photos of little miss mena.  a.k.a. mimi. 

the happy family. 

i thought both of these were so adorable.  i could not pick a favorite.  which do you like?  the yawn or the look of content? 

mamma and her little bean!  mimi is winking at us.  ; ) 

this is mimi's grandmother.  she came all the way from thailand to visit. 

we had a lot of fun photographing these two brothers!  we don't get to shoot kids this age very often so it was a nice change of pace.

 meet chris 

meet corey

just loosening things up a bit 

we thought it would be cool to photograph them by their ages.  i think they'll appreciate these later in life :)
