Jasmine and Aurora

I'm home from Florida, and just getting caught up with my vacation photos and responding to the clients who wrote to me while I was gone. I start up with sessions again tomorrow, so look back for some previews in the next couple of days. But in the meantime I thought I'd share a few images of the little princesses. These comfortable, cotton princess dresses are made by my good friend Angela of Ollie Girl!. She and I worked closely to design this Jasmine dress because I knew that my little princesses wouldn't like the traditional Jasmine pants costume, and would prefer a dress.

Fancy Wings

Greetings from Orlando! We're spending the week at Disney World, and today we spent a little time taking in the Garden Festival at Epcot, including Minnie's Butterfly Garden where we spotted some beautiful winged creatures.

Our Cinderellas

I have been reminded twice recently to slow down and appreciate the time I spend with my family, and especially my little girls. The first was when I listened to the song "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman.



Again today, when I heard the news that his youngest daughter--one of the Cinderellas he is singing about in the song--was killed in a tragic accident in her own yard. I'm so saddened for the family, and it once again serves as a reminder to stop and appreciate my little ones.

Little Girl in Black and White (and a touch of red)

What's more fun than trying to keep up with a spirited 2-year-old? This little gal was full of sweet personality, and we had a little fun looking for frogs and fairies in her yard this morning. Here are a few previews of her session.

Baby Girl

What a beautiful little newborn I got to work with this morning! Only 2 weeks old, and she looked like such a doll. Her daddy is a firefighter, so I suggested that they bring over his helmet for a few of the images. I just love the little sleepy smiles!

Lemonade Stand

We had our second annual front yard lemonade stand this morning. The girls and I went out early this morning and bought the makings for lemonade and some fresh doughnuts. They were very popular among the yard-sale-crawlers this morning, as well as the neighbors who were out walking or mowing their lawns :)

Just in the Backyard

Doesn't nature have the coolest colors and designs? I just took a few pics in the backyard this afternoon, and check out the cool things I found!
