I first met Peter and his mom and dad back in the fall when I did my mini sessions  He was just six months then and it is hard to believe how much he has changed!  He has the biggest blue eyes, contagious smile, and is just a happy little boy in general!  He has grown so much and is walking!  What a big milestone!  I loved the props his mom brought to the session…..his 1st birthday theme was red wagons and it was adorable!  Peter, I hope you had a very happy first birthday!  Thank you to the proud parents for allowing me to capture sweet Peter at such a fun age!   PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGELook at that sweet face….

I met this sweet family last year when I did their family session and let me just tell you how much I LOVE them!  Lindsey and John are such awesome parents and Landon is the cutest little boy!!  I look forward to each and every time I get to see them!  I did their family portraits this past fall before sweet Spencer was born, so I was really excited this time around to photograph the family of four!  🙂  I had such a fun time getting to meet their brand new addition and just hanging out with them again!  It is so nice when I get to work with families on a regular basis, get to know them, and watch their families grow.  It truly is an honor and I am so thankful that this family has chosen me as their family photographer. 🙂  What a blessing!  John and Lindsey, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of capturing your family at this moment in time!  I enjoyed every minute of it!….your children are SO adorable and I can’t wait for our next session!   PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGE PIN IMAGELove this image below… PIN IMAGELindsey, I am so glad you asked about taking some photos with just you and John…these are beautiful!  PIN IMAGE

What a week it was!  You’d think that things would slow down with school is letting out soon, but I think the opposite is true.  This time of year is filled with weddings, engagement and family shoots, birthdays, and more!  It is a fun and BUSY time of year!  There were so many eventful happenings this past week so I will just touch on the important ones briefly!  The first is, Carter turned four on Thursday!  If you missed his birthday post, you can check it out here.  🙂  He was so adorable when he woke up….he literally thought that when he woke up, he would be all grown up.  He even told me his clothes didn’t fit anymore because he was “growed” up lol.  He had a fun day filled with presents, Chuck E. Cheese and Geleti Celesti during the first half of the day and then more presents, swimming, and cake that evening.  All-in-all, it could not have been a more perfect birthday for a sweet four year old boy.  Saturday, Kaleigh had her birthday party with her friends at the place where she takes gymnastics.  She normally requests to have her parties at our home, however, this year she was ecstatic to be able to go to her favorite place!  The girls had a great time playing, bouncing, climbing, swinging, and doing a couple of crafts.  I even had a photo booth set up for pictures….I hope to get these photos on the blog at some point.  I had a wedding that evening(crazy I know!)  This wedding was actually a Pakistani wedding and my first time ever photographing something like this.  I must say, I was so excited because all of the girls were so dressed up and everything was beautiful!  I really enjoyed getting to be a part of such a fun event and seeing the cultural differences; it was definitely a fun learning experience for me.

PIN IMAGEAfter a very long and eventful Saturday, I got to wake up yesterday morning and clean and prepare all day for Kaleigh and Carter’s birthday party with the family!  It was a beautiful day filled with piles of presents, amazing cupcakes, good conversation, and happiness all around.  Kaleigh’s favorite present of the day was the Julie American girl doll and Carter’s favorite present was his Captain America Superhero on a motorcycle haha.   PIN IMAGEI should have taken a photo of all the toys laying around the living room floor..it was insane!  Whew!!  What a whirlwind last weekend was!  Such great memories and happy times.  And now its back to work!  Here is a recap for you…..

I cannot believe that it has been FOUR years since this amazing little man came into the world and filled my heart with more love than I ever could have imagined.  There is always a fear in a mother who thinks that she will not love her second child as much as their first.  I loved Carter before I had even met him, but I did still feared that I would not be able to love him as much as my sweet Kaleigh, who was almost four at the time.  Well let me tell you, it could not be more far from the truth.  The moment I laid eyes on that precious face, I was totally, completely, and forever in love with my boy.  He has brought so much joy and laughter to our home and is one of the sweetest children I have ever met.  He is always willing to help, always willing to share, always willing to love and show affection.  There are so many things I love about him….from his friendly outlook on life and unconditional loving attitude to his comical personality and love for people and life.  I cannot imagine a world without William Carter…born on May 31, 2008 at 10:18 p.m……weighing in at 8 pounds 7 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long.

Words that come to mind when I describe Carter….loving, sweet, kind, gentle, funny, caring, handsome, smart, happy-go-lucky, friendly, and amazingly wonderful.

Happy, Happy birthday to you Carter.  I love you with all of my heart.
