Ella’s birthday week!

I know… what have I started?!  My precious baby girl is having her 3rd birthday on Friday!  We are looking forward to spending it with good friends!

I have been getting her all worked up about her special day!  She has been talking about it since the weekend.  We are practicing saying, “I’m 3″.  (Even though I feel like I just taught her how to say, “I’m 2″.)  Ella… sweet, charming, strong, and a whole lotta fun!

She keeps everyone over here on their toes, to be sure!

I had to split up her session because the heat has been unbearable!  Ella wants nothing to do with sitting outside in frilly frocks with a camera in her face.  Can’t blame her… really!

Oh sweet big girl Ella– we love and adore you.  Every facet of your personality makes me so proud to be your mommy.  I cannot imagine what our life would be without you– you make our family complete.

Your smile alone washes away a bad day.  Your giggle is my heart’s song.  Hearing your feet pad the kitchen tile as you chase your brother and sister around the house is pure bliss.  You have grown up so much this past year.  Walking, running… starting to climb and semi-jump– all of it amazing, and only possible because you believe you are strong.  You have broken down barriers– shocked your therapists… and make your mommy and daddy so happy.  We believe you can do anything you put your mind to.  My sweet, you are going places.  I cannot wait to see what you do with your potential.  There is no limit to what you can do… when you are you.   Delightful, wonderful, special YOU.

I love to watch you lip-sync in the car… and your dance moves are one of a kind.  You get those from your daddy.  ;)

You make every day shine— feeling blessed that you are mine.  Happy early birthday, Angel!

A summer’s sunset– B Family style [Bloomington IL Family Photographer]

I absolutely adore this family!  Hands down their little guys have THE MOST dreamy eyes I have ever seen– little heartbreakers in the making.

Kim and Trent are the nicest couple you will ever meet… so sweet and down to earth.  Families like this make me love my job…even more!!  It’s truly a pleasure to work with them again.

After rescheduling our session 3 times… it finally happened!

It was hot and steamy the evening of our session– dripping in sweat head to toe… we got some amazing shots.  This family rocks… plain and simple.

Miles and miles of love [Bloomington IL newborn baby photographer]

Melissa and Ben sure know how to make one good lookin’ baby boy– I so called it back in early May when we had Melissa maternity session.

Baby Miles tugged at my heartstrings, almost making we wish for another.  (Then I had a mental flash forward to the” terrible twos” and my better judgement superseded!)  CLOSE ONE!  ;)

Miles started Part One of our session channeling The Very Hungry Caterpillar– I thought I would snap a photo in his nursery… it was seemingly apropos…

DSC_0015

Miles was a hungry caterpillar, indeed.  So hungry… our time was cut short.  Miles rules. *wink*

I came back again to play and he was an absolute dream.  A photographer’s blessing, especially when it’s pushing 90 at 10 am!

Miles is the epitome of peacefulness and calm… hope, dreams, and inspiration.  May his essence be infectious to those who surround his charmed life.  I hope we meet again.

Enjoy…

Seriously, Melissa, if I have another… it’s all your fault (and you will be babysitting)!!
