Things are going great here in Dickinson I have a lot of people asking if I am happy out here…yes, yes I am

One of the COOLest things is a local store in town that caters to expecting moms and babies and kiddos. I LOVE this store- and everytime I go in… yeah.. .I spend

What is this AMAZING store you ask??? Go check out Moe Moe’s Garden Bay Boutique LIKE her page and tell them that I sent ya. We have partnered up to offer a FUN-Filled birthday idea. Each month, we will be doing Baby’s First Year Cake Smash!!!

The other day, we had our first “birthday” girl and OH- MY- Goodness she was so stinken adorable and so much fun. She kept my tummy giggling.. and I believe I have fallen in love with this little cutie lol. Oh my gosh- and her mom?!!  AH-Mazing!!!! I could have stayed all day and chatted about anything. This family is the sweetest and I hope to be able to keep capturing them throughout the years!

I wake with your dreams

I guess my pillow Holds some kind of key To your peace

Your peace

Me

I wouldn’t trade your love for all the candy In this great big world

Me

I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky

To be the place you go When you need to feel safe

When you need a kiss

It’s me

I haven’t showered

And I tried to eat

But all your tears

Oh they needed me

I need some time, some time to think

But then I hear you And what you need is… Me

I wouldn’t trade your love for all the candy. In this great big world Me I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky To be the place you go

I wash your face To make room for All the kisses Of tomorrow

And every day That I get to Be here with you Is sweet

Me

I wouldn’t trade your love for all the candy In this great big world Me I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky To be the place you go When you need to feel safe

When you need a kiss

Oh don’t be afraid Cause what you’ll have is…. Me

This is one of my ABSOLUTE fave songs. From Plumb. I fell in love with her CD and she JUST happened to be in concert at the MOPS convention the one year I went. She was just amazing and beautiful and just… amazing. I was able to purchase (another) cd from her as well as talk to her for a bit and get a photograph- although I have no idea where that pic is…

This post is all about my lil Jack. He grows too quickly. I love you lil man

Thank you Crystal Beck Photography who was able to catch these action shots during the filming of our family video by Norisada Photography!

A daughter is a beautiful reflection of God’s grace

 

 

When I received a letter saying that this momma was expecting another baby- I was so happy!! SO much time had passed since I have seen her family. Our kids have grown up so much since then and I couldn’t help but to think of those memories from when our babies were BABIES. And now…. all grown up and in school. Time passes too quickly.

 

I was thrilled and excited to see how much baby G looks just like momma and  big sister. It will be exciting to see this precious beauty grow up. And I have to admit, seeing all that pink made me CRAVE another girl in the home… well at least until the pre-teen stage!

I feel terrible for taking SO long for getting these images edited- totally not what I had planned. Moving and life seriously just ate up everything, but I am GLAD and HAPPY that I was able to finish before she turned TWO!!

 

~M- thank you for being so wonderfully patient with me. I hope you enjoy your photos.

 

For the rest of you… here is a sneak peek into our session!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 love everything about this wee one…. especailly her name and her AWESOME parents.

It was SUCH a joy to meet them all and have a playful session. The worst part was that it was over too quickly. I simply just adore this family and so sad I wont be able to watch this beauty grow up in front of my lens. I may just have to make a special trip but to Sandpoint for her One Year photos!

Here is a sneak peek into our session.

** Thank you SO much for letting me capture G and your whole family… she is SUCH a doll- and you both were the BEST photography parents!! **

Here is another sneak peek into a session in my crazy last week of being in Sandpoint

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

** Thank you W family for letting me capture your family!! **

Well I clearly have a problem with doing this…. I have no idea why… I mean I feel like I have a permanent butt mold in my computer chair but I just can’t seem to keep up with daily photos. I almost feel like someone should stone me.. but that’s a little harsh

So I am going thru my recent collection of images that I recently took.. but *sigh* neglected to actually put them somewhere besides on my camera card. I am going to make an auto post on here that will post a POTD daily for me

So once it runs out, please feel free to nag me and remind me.

A friend has been inspiring me with her own Photos Of The Day.. I have to say that I am very guilty of not using my camera more for my own personal use. Ugh- G U I L T Y. For some reason it is so hard for me to pull it out and capture my own crazy life- maybe its because I feel like I am in that Groundhogs Day Movie- where things repeat over and over again lol.. you know… MOTHERHOOD!

Ya’ll feel free to nag me to post my POTD every day- it will make me get off my bum and have some personal family fun!

 

Oh this little one made my heart skip beats.. She is SO stinken adorable!!! I really could have just snuggled with her all afternoon- if she would have let me. And her parents… Oh my goodness – the sweetest couple. I do have to brag a little about her daddy- it always melts my heart when a dad acts like a daddy This daddy was so in love with his daughter- he took such great care of her and was so gentle and sweet. Everything he did, he did to perfection with her – to make sure she was safe, protected and loved. I hope when she grows up she will remember how much her parents love and cared for her on her first photo shoot- seeing that relationship made my year. I love seeing parents love their babies. Being a parent is so re-rewarding… ok and a little stressful, but hey- that’s what chocolate is for right

** J & K, thank you so much for letting me capture your little one- I really enjoyed meeting all of you **

I feel like waited so long to see these little babies.. Each day I was in full anticipation to hear the news that they were here. These babies- just like their brothers- are so loved with so many family and friends. And if there was a such thing as a SUPER mom- this mom is it!! I admire everything about her!! She is my mommy idol!!

Well because those babies had their own idea of how they were to enter the world, they were delivered at Bonner General Hospital and I was blessed to be able to go in and capture some Pure Moments of these two miracles!

With a house full of boys ( and a pre-teen daughter who doesn’t let me dress her up) I get all gooey when baby girls come into the studio. Yup, you will find me in the corner loving on them.

This little peanut took her sweet time getting here- but she was well worth the wait!!
