Too long!!

Sadly, if I look back at the last post on this blog it is from 2015!  I know it has been rather quiet here (I took a break and was spending more time in the classroom rather than behind my camera)  and so I'm excited to share some photos from this past week.  It was so good to see "M" again.  This time, she is anticipating the arrival of baby # 3!  We had the most peaceful summer evening at the park and enjoyed wandering around, snapping some pics and chatting about summer, the lake, kids and life in general!  I can't wait to hear your exciting news!

"Vogue" Baby

I was at a baby shower for Baby "I" several weeks ago, before she was born.  At the shower, I was asked how I knew her Mom.  I wasn't actually quite sure how to answer that question.  I've known Baby "I"'s parents for years and through so many different parts of life.  I suppose though, that after taking their engagement pictures, wedding photos, anniversary photos, maternity photos and now newborn photos I have spent a fair bit of time getting to know them while shooting them!  I couldn't wait to meet Baby "I".  She was quite perfect from the beginning to the end of her session.  She was also a little poser and even flashed me a great big smile!  He Dad joke that she was "vogue"!  That is the first time a parent has said that about their newborn daughter so it kind of stuck with me.  But in the end.....vogue is just what this little baby was!

A Drive to the Country

I met the P Family at one of their favorite family places....a farm just a short ways out of the city.  There was something about the farm that was almost magical.  Around every corner there seemed to be some type of special spot just ready to be explored and enjoyed!  Heather and Cherry also joined us for a few pictures.  I have to say that they were very well behaved and cooperated perfectly! Thank you for sharing your special spot with me!  I loved every minute of it!
