This session was a pure delight.  Mom had an amazing vision for the session, and I was more than happy to hunt around to find the perfect locations to fit the bill.  The day went off without a hitch!  The girls were practically made to model, the day was gorgeous, the light was yummy, and look at these outfits!!!  I do LOVE Matilda Jane!!  Thanks for a wonderful time, ladies!  I can’t wait for the next session! 

OMG, you guys….you have no idea how much *fun* this family was to shoot.  By the end of the session they had me ROLLING.  They made me walk away from the session wishing I had 3 teenagers and a 5 year old at home – NOT an easy task to do!    I know you guys have been dying to see these.  I LOVE them!!  Thanks for an amazing session!

This gorgeous darling make the 4th girl in the this wonderful family!  How precious is she??  Once we got her to sleep we had a great time trying out a bunch of new knit goods and baskets.  She was a perfect angel, and she fits right in with the rest of her easy-going family.  I’m honestly in shock at how calm things are at their house with 4 children under 5 – but they make it look so easy!!  P family – it’s always a pleasure!  Thanks for having me over to document this exciting time in your family’s life!!  :)  

This one will be going in the new Butterfly Kisses location!  :)  The hat is from their newborn collection.  

If you are due in 2008 or the beginning of 2009 and are interested in a newborn session (remember – 10 days or under is IDEAL for newborn sessions.  I come to you!!!)

The perfect shot for Proud Papaw.  Right in front of his corral…his new little grandbaby chillaxin’ on a saddle.  I’m not sure I’ve ever photographed something so precious!

I couldn’t be more excited about my recent business ventures with Butterfly Kisses, Northwest Indiana’s most impressive Mommy & Me Boutique.

So head in there during June, mention this blog, and get 35% off your qualifying boy’s purchase! How cool is that?!?! Thanks so much to the owner, Jennifer, for extending an extra discount to my blog readers!! Also, from June 1st-July 15th, Butterfly Kisses is having a Baby Legs Promotion. If you don’t know what Baby Legs are, go find out. They are SO stinkin’ cute!! I’ll have some photos up of some little ones in them soon.

Keep reading below for ANOTHER offer!

My display hanging above all of these gorgeous clothes gives me goose bumps!!!

Look at the adorable ivy on the wall created by Jen’s amazing painter! (I’ll get her name up here soon. She is awesome!)

So cute!!

HERE IS THE OTHER OFFER!!! I don’t have any children, but for some reason I can’t squash the urge to buy both of these dresses. Every single time I go into the store, I can’t help but pick them up and dream of the day I have a little one to dress. I’m totally in clothing LOVE with these two outfits…..SO…..

If you go into Butterfly Kisses and buy either one of these dresses……you can get a free session! First come first serve (only one free session available – session good for one child, well……probably girl), and the session must be booked by August 15th!! Get in there and snatch up one (or both!) of these insanely adorable dresses!!!

More adorable clothes

Yes, they do have boy’s clothes, but I got a little distracted by the bows and lace and pink and prettiness of all the girly stuff. So, stop in to see their fantastic selection of the latest in boy’s fashions.

could describe how incredibly perfect this little man is.

Sigh.

More to come…I left half of his session at his house….

Thanks for having me over only SIX days after you welcomed little Sam into the world. He is insanely precious. And, Mom…the three together were a few of the perfect little moments you missed right before the “explosion”. Well worth it!!
