Devyn & Laurie

My beautiful friend, Gina asked me if I'd like to come take pictures of her 2 little gorgeous girls a while back. I was so honored... I love to be noticed because of my pictures! So naturally I was thrilled. 

Sunday afternoon I headed over to their home to be greeted at the door by Devyn in her ADORABLE tutu (handmade by her Momma!). Now, I have to tell you... right before I go to take pictures, I get so nervous. Usually the night before I check my camera, charge the batteries, clear a few memory cards and try to run down a list of pictures & ideas. The day of, I do that all over again. Really, I must drive my husband crazy, lol! Seeing Devyn's sweet face at the door though, really calmed my nerves! 

She was so anxious to show me her Christmas tree and her "elf" that found his way in the tree, her Mickey Mouse, her baby sister and she couldn't wait to see what I had in my bag of 'props' I brought with me. Laurie was all smiles as well and my goodness, those tutu's... I loved them!!

Without further ado... here is my fun filled hour or so with 2 little cutie pies.

Is there any reason to be THIS adorable???

I could just eat her up... and I did nibble on her little cute feet a

 little later. Just couldn't resist!!!

Oh Devyn, you make me smile so big.

Afterwards, Devyn was so so happy to get a cookie and boy did she deserve it!

She was great and I hope I get to take many, many more pictures of her.

I love me some baby feet!

You better watch out.. you better not cry...

Thank you, Gina for being such an awesome friend (especially this week!) and for asking me to take pictures of your little sweethearts. I had so much with them!

Oh yeah....

I know I've been such a slacker blogging lately. I apologize.

Work has been crazy as you might imagine being in the Insurance industry right now and with all of these natural disasters hitting the East Coast. Yep. Makes for a really fun day. *ahem*.

Jaelyn started Pre-K last week... oh how adorable she looked. What's that? You wanna see her cute outfit? Well, ok.. if I must share them.

I know, super cute right?? She was SUCH a big girl, got on the school bus as I was hyperventilating smiling and was on her merry way. She told me all about her day but she was most happy that she GOT TO RIDE THE BUS! haha.. so cute. ♥

The hubby went away the weekend before school started. That made for an interesting 3 1/2 days. I don't sleep well when he is gone so I tried to keep myself busy so I would be extremely tired at night. It didn't really work. :( BUT, the girls missed him and I missed him so it was sweet to miss each other for a small amount of time.

My niece Gracie spent the night with us one night. I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of her, too. She is a super model in the making, haha. She loves posing and being silly, perfect combination for pictures!!

Can you believe Summer is nearly over? Ahhhhh... where did it go???

I love Fall and Fall colors so I can't say I'm too, too sad but wow, it seems like it was here & go in quite a hurry!

Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of September 11th.

I watched some of the special on tv & nearly cried my eyes out from all the stories, pictures, memories. ♥ I can tell you exactly where I was, how I reacted, who I called on that day... I will never forget.

God Bless America.

I get to take some shots of a cute little boy tomorrow... I'm kind of nervous & excited!! Plus, a few more people have asked me to do some pictures of their children.. what?! me? I can tell I'm getting better with my pictures but man, I feel like I still have so much to learn! So, good practice for me!! :)

Well, that is the latest & greatest around here.

I have a pretty cute review to post soon, took a few pictures of it tonight so stay tuned!

How are things in your world?

WW: Lanterns

I bought these cute white lanterns at IKEA a week or so ago. They were only $3! I thought they were adorable and would make good props and I can actually use them on our back patio so how could I not pick a few of them up? Right!?

I've been wanting to take pictures of Jaelyn for her upcoming 4th birthday (more of those pictures to come!!) so last night we ventured out & about the yard with the lanterns, Abbie tagged along and I got some really cute pictures. Today though, I'm just focusing on the Lanterns! Aren't they cute?

In other news: I'm sure you've heard by now about our *big* earthquake here on the East Coast. I haven't heard any reports of major injuries but a few prayers to those in the immediate area will never hurt. I have to say, I'm not really a fan of the whole earthquake thing, lol... it was the most odd feeling to know the ground was swaying but it really shouldn't be. I'm just thankful my family & friends are all safe! (And it was kinda neat? Call me odd.) So, with the flooding that has been going on, now an earthquake AND this weekend we are suppose to get slammed by Hurricane Irene... I'm thinking someone is after us East Coasters!! lol!

Happy Wednesday!

I'm happy to be linking up with these cool blogs today for

Wordish-Wordful-No Words-All Kinds of Words Wednesday!! (haha!)
