My college roommate's little guy!

Isn't this little guy one of the most adorable little ones you have ever seen??? I happen to think so, but I am biased too! His mama was my roommate in college :) We used to sit around and dream about our weddings and how many kids we wanted to have etc.::::sigh:::: and here we are with our beautiful families. Praise God for these blessings and miracles in our lives!!! Thank you J and M!!! Enjoy!

P.S. I will be back in business on August 6th...I will be available by e-mail but it may take a couple of days to get back to you. I hope everyone has a great next couple of weeks!! :) ~R

Before I forget!

Here are the rest of the pics from B's Baseball Birthday cake session :) As you can see I used the bottom one as part of his invitation. We get to dedicate him to the Lord on the same day of his birthday party so I made the main invitation for his dedication and had this one inserted in the back :) Little B sure is a huge blessing to our family! I think he will have the "cake thing" down for his first birthday party! Caleb had NO IDEA what to do with his cake and barely ate any. (Every mother's (( who doesn't want their child to eat too much sugar) dream!!) As you can see - they are two very different little boys! :) I apologize for so many pics. (Kind of I guess! They are too cute!) I tried to post the collage I made of all these pics but it wasn't loading right so I had to do them individually. I hope you all have a wonderfull rest of July and beginning of Aug. I will be back in business August 6th. Until then, May God bless you richly! ~R

P.S. Jen, I will get the pics of little D before I leave!! ;-)

Sneak Peek III On the Move!

This little 9 month old 'Z' is anything but stationary! We really had to work to get him to just "be". If you look closely, you'll notice that he is either on some sort of furniture, IN the toy box, or eating! One of my favorites is the one with his green blanket. His Mom 'A' brought it out and said "here is your nigh nigh blankey!" and he just rolled around and snuggled it forever!! In the picture below he is in the middle of snuggling and hustling away towards something that caught his interest (probably the light cord! lol!) Anyway, little Z you are a joy! Thank you to mom and dad 'A' and 'T', Enjoy - I did!

Sneak Peek Sisters II

Here are the Cute C sisters! Little H had a hard time with the tutu but it all turned out in the end :0) At 9 months she is doing a great job standing at furniture and her little personality sure has surfaced! Another wonderful family to photograph! Thank you A and E!! :)

July Sessions Sneak Peek I

Hi there! Here are the sneak peeks from my July sessions in P-Ville! (I know I closed July sessions because of SuperCamp but these mommies BEGGED me ;0) because of their baby planners...they said they "couldn't bare to go anywhere else!!"....that was SO sweet!! So you know me... - I couldn't turn them away...I know how important it is to have your photos every three months if you want them!! They truly do change so much! Thank you to all who came! This little guy here is 6 months old, isn't he an absolute cutie pie!!! His big sis, E, is such a GREAT big sister!! Great job you two!! Thank you M and J - I had a great time photographing your beautiful family!

Someone's

turning ONE!! Here is a sneak peek from our little Turning One session the other day. (I know he's only 10 months - actually 11 tomorrow! - but I knew if I didn't do them before camp...I would be rushed...AND they had these cakes at the grocery from the 4th :) The colors match perfectly! The whole process from putting him down to complete obliteration of the cake took all of THREE MINUTES!! Of course I went ahead and did this while C was sleeping and R wasn't home....oops! I think I got some good ones...and thank goodness we have hardwood floors!! I am thinking I will use one of the others for his invite :) He had such a great time! (And I got some frosting on my camera! Dont' worry though it came off :) We wondered if we should do John Deere for little B like his big brother (you should see him bat my hand away when I try to push him on C's pedal tractor and steer at the same time!!) ...but R thought something different would be nice...so here we have it. One farm boy and one city boy. :)

Also, wanted to let you know I will not be posting until after the 14th. I will also not be available by phone. Email will work but my reply time might be a day or so. Sorry this is abrupt :) Have a great week everyone! ~R

Diamonds...

are a girl's best friend. Right? That's what I've heard all my life. I disagree. They are shiny and pretty and are sometimes very meaningful (like my engagment ring) but don't compare to my girlfriends and how much I gain from my wonderful friendships. Diamonds can't laugh, console, reason, or giggle. They can't comfort, compliment, or just make you feel better (for real) by hanging out and having a really good conversation about being a mommy (and eating a half of a pan of brownies - on accident!?!?). Oh well, you get my point :) Here is a pic of our friend's little guy from this weekend. I had a great time hanging out with A (his mommy) while Ryan hung out with N (his daddy). We went for a walk around the park across the street, sat outside on the lounge chairs by the river (can you say relaxing??), and then played photo session for fun! I wanted to get pics of B walking out in the yard as opposed to inside with all the clutter. She was gracious enough to let me snap some of little J. :) (He was a good sport too!!) Here he is in his adorable little hat. We also look foward to being this little guy's god-parents. What an honor you two, thank you so much!!! We are so excited to be such an important part of little J's life (and yours too!).
