miss avary

i had so much fun with miss avary. we made faces, played, and raced around for an hour or more and i had a great time. she is one beautiful girl. dark hair, bright blue eyes, and the brightest smile. and she comes by it naturally.

miss piper's 1st

this sweet girl turned 1 at the end of august. she had fun eating her cake, and sharing it with my daughter. there are so many cute pictures of her eating her cake. but, here are a few fun ones.

sweet lil' mariah

this little girl is so sweet. there were so many cute photos of her, i had a really hard time narrowing this post down to a few photos. she has the sweetest little smile. and i have always thought that her eyes smile even when she isn't. especially when she is looking at her mom.




this tree was really neat. i love big canopy-type trees.




ok, i better stop there.

mr. max

this little guy is so smiley. always. and he has such a nice smile, too.
i am glad i get to have such happy kids and babies around.
and mr. m was happy, even though it was HOT and MUGGY the day we took these photos.





ok, so he isn't always smiling. he can be very serious sometimes. but even that is extremely cute.

baby e's blessing dress

the great thing about summer here, we found, is that it puts babies right to sleep. this sweet little girl was so good. and the guy who's yard this was, was so nice to let us take photos in it before he mowed it.
doesn't she have beautiful hair? and she has so much. i love it.








my photos are posting MUCH BRIGHTER than they are IRL, and yes, the white posted BRIGHT on here. sorry. don't look too long. you might go temporarily blind.

little miss piper

this little girl is so adorable. and sweet. i just love her. she was so good while we took her picture. and there are so many to choose from, but this is just a sneak peak. i couldn't resist getting her cute face up here.

j&k family

i had the pleasure of taking pictures of a family in my ward. they have two cute daughters who i got to run around with. i raced around with them, and played a bit of hide-and-seek. it was fun. but i won't say i wasn't a little tired afterward.






she told me these were her favorite shoes, but they didn't really fit anymore. so we took pictures of her sitting with them on. she has such beautiful eyes.

miss kylie

this baby girl was so sweet! isn't she beautiful? she has gorgeous blue eyes even though you can't see them in these photos. she was so good the entire time she was here. her big brother came along and is definitely the most polite little man i have ever met.







for some reason, these look REALLY washed out on here. washed out and TOO light. I will have to get that figured out.

field of clover

we went on a drive to a beautiful field of clover, only to find it had been mowed down a day or two ago. but, luckily there was another small field nearby.
these two wanted to "run around in the flowers", so, of course, i let them. but it was such a windy day, we had a hard time keeping the hair out of their faces.




this next one kindof makes me dizzy. i tipped the camera TOO far!






and these photos are not this white in real life. blogger... oh blogger...

miss macey

meet little miss macey. she was so sweet. i love her little lips.
isn't her bracelet darling?

max

meet max. he is emily's fourth child. second boy. and man, is he a cute little guy. i LOVE all his hair! and he was so good!! he is the first baby i have "photographed", other than my own kids. and i had so much fun.
i am glad his mom knew that he had to be younger than 10 days old to get his photos like this. any older and babies aren't as "foldy" or as sleepy.
doesn't he look like the "discus thrower"? he is going to be a tough little guy.

and this is each of her four of her kids with her. the first three we took while she was pregnant with max (i know, i am stating the obvious) and the last is her with max just a few days old.

emily

emily is so easy-going. she was willing to put up with my crazy ideas. and she was like the energizer bunny. even a few weeks away from delivering. i want to know how she got her toes painted!and it was fun having her kids there too. aren't they beautiful?
