One of my great friends since elementary school was in town from Florida and I was so happy that I got to see her and do a quick mini-session with her little girl. She's 14 months and on the move!
Isn't she beautiful?
So glad I got to see you guys- thanks for making the trip up!
It's been so much fun photographing this little guy as he's grown, and yesterday we got his whole family in on the action. We had a perfect summer evening (although the mosquitoes were a bit ferocious!).
Can't believe he's already 9 months!
Here's his big brother- love that hair!
The whole family!
Thanks for a fun evening, G Family!
We had a warm but beautiful evening when I met up with this fun family for their session. I was excited to try out a new location (just up the street from my new house) and they were the perfect models for it!
Love this sibling picture!
Finally, the "Fab Five" all together!
It was great seeing you all- all the best with your "new beginnings!"
This morning I met up with this handsome little guy and his family. He just turned two and was happy and full of energy for his photoshoot!
This one is a bit different from my usual style, but I just love it!
Thanks for a fun morning, H Family! Hope you like your sneak peek!
In 1978, my dad gave my mom a
hoya plant for her very first Mother's Day. Of course at the time, it was in bloom and did bloom one other time after that, but that was well over 20 years ago. My mom would often tell me how unique and beautiful the flowers were and was always hopeful for the plant to bloom... yet the blooms never came. Finally, in April of this year, she decided to give the plant one last chance at blooming. She read up on the best light and care and let us all know that if the plant did not bloom by Mother's Day this year, the plant would be "replaced." Guess what? Just before Mother's Day this year (April 20th), she called me up to tell me that she spied that start of one bloom. Soon, more starts began to appear and just recently, they have come out into a full bloom.
Here is a close-up of one of the first stages of the bloom...
then they form into these pink stars that eventually peel back to reveal...
the full bloom!
My mom gave me an off-shoot of her plant a while back... now the pressure's on to see if we can get it to bloom!
