Our annual camping trip- it started out many moons ago when we were but teenagers....and now here we are years later still at it! Now 99% of us have kids...and the weekend has taken on new meaning and habits- but is still, at it's core, about the same thing it always was. Friends.
I love you all and thanks for yet another wonderful Memorial! :)
My friends have commented on the lack of photos of my own kids lately.....well this would be an example of WHY.
They suffer from what is commonly known as "PKS" - which my fellow photogs know is
"Photographer's Kid Syndrome"
They are SO over me taking pics of them it's not even funny.
So when it comes to a momentous occasion such as this....their last day ever of preschool- this is what I get.
Notice also- how once again I sent the boys to school w/out noticing they had not brushed their hair....oh well- at least they have shoes on! They've on occasion managed to go to school with slippers on w/out me noticing.

Today was Nephew #1's 1st birthday party...he's had an amazing journey thus far in his little life- and today was such a fabulous day. We love you little man! :D
How big is Isaac??
SO big!
Now clap for me.....
Yes- I know- I'm fabulous! :)
When I got home from this shoot the hubster asked me how it went- and the best way I could think to describe little Mr. H was "a little cup of pure JOY"- sooooo stinking cute- and SO happy. At one point as I was chasing him around he was laughing so hard that it made me double over with laughter it was so infectious :)
What a great day! I love families that go with the flow as the sessions just go along so smoothly! This family was so easy to be around, I could have stayed all day :)
One of my favorite things about being able to photograph families- is that you get a little peek into their lives, homes and personality.... and this family is amazing! The love and connection they have is so evident in every little interaction they have. *C* and *L*- you're wonderful parents- your children are happy, fun, independent people :)
"W" is a great boy- the typical energy of a 6yr old- but so very very sweet. What a joy!
And "A"- okay seriously- she's one of the cutest things I've ever seen- and SO much personality packed into her little body. :)
Do you see what's new?? NO TRAINING WHEELS! :)
For the past several months, the boys have been asking me to take their training wheels off...but I kept stalling them. Well- today- I decided we should give it a try.
Now- I had NO idea how you "teach" kids to ride without training wheels.
Well- it turned out it didn't matter- as they didn't need any help!
We took off the training wheels- and away they went! Literally.
The boys needed no help from me at all. They INSTANTLY were riding as if they'd been doing it for weeks!
The Girl needed mostly reassurance.
She's not a fan of speed- and of course it's much harder to ride a bike slowly than it is with some speed.
But once she decided to trust herself she was ready to fly :)
They are SO proud of themselves.
They went pretty much door to door to announce the great news to all of our neighbors-
who bless their hearts showed great joy and cheering for the trio :)
I love our neighborhood :)
