So precious Bethany, I love everything about this!

Oh! These are so sweet! What a treat for their afternoon together to be forever recorded and shared for generations! My favorite one is where the grandfather is behind the kids with his arms around them. I love seeing that bond that they have with each other. They are so lucky, not everyone has that with their grandfather. And the wagon is such a great prop! So cute with them all piled into it!

Too cute!! Wonderful work as always! Love the happiness in these pics! You really excel at family photography!
We have adopted a stray kitty! She’s been coming around the last few months and we’ve been feeding her. I thought she would just be an outdoor cat and we would feed her whenever she came around, but when Sierra came home from preschool with the kitty on her family tree, I reconsidered! I was afraid someone would call the pound and I know my kids would be devastated if anything happened to her.
I never thought in a million years I would own a cat! Noah named her Lucy. She is a little feisty but has her sweet moments too. Both the kids love her to pieces…I am warming up to her, LOL.

Aww! What a pretty kitty! I love the little fur tips on her ears. Y’all will have so much fun with her and you will wonder what life was like before she came.

Congratulations to your new member of the family!! Love her name and she is beautiful!!
Photos I took of my sweet Sierra in one of her back to school outfits (she starts preschool tomorrow!) …
Stephanie came and took these super cute photos of us together! Thank you Stephanie! We had so much fun…
I love her hair like this! I used to ask my mom to fix my hair like this all the time when I was a little girl. I can’t believe how grown up she looks!

Happy first day of school Sierra!

Oh! I can’t believe that your baby is starting preschool. Where does the time go? These are so sweet! The last photo is like looking forward in time since Siera looks like she is about 10. So grown up! – I love the idea of using the apples! What a cute way to signal the start of school!

How cute! I especially like the wings and balloons. So fun!
Sierra’s 4th birthday party started off a little chaotic. As soon as we got everything set up, it rained. We had to grab all of it and run for the covered patio! Then, after 20 minutes of rain, we set everything back up and it got windy and rained again! Finally, the storm passed through and we had a great party! I am so lucky to have awesome friends who stuck it out….and talked me out of my nervous breakdown, LOL.
So the bright sunny photos I had hoped for and Sierra’s curly hairdo just didn’t work out…but she had fun and that is all that matters!
The amazing cake was made by my best friend, Stephanie and the adorable flower clip was made by Jacque Larsen!
The photo on the right is my friend Stephanie working the popcorn stand! Thanks girl…I couldn’t have done it without you!

Dude! This party rocks! I love all of the colors and details. What a fabulous, fun time! I can’t believe that you got rained out twice and still got photos of it being so put together and looking so effortless. You are the bomb! You know that my favorite photo is going to be the one with Noah having candy up his nose. Made me laugh out loud!!!

Oh, it looks so fun! Gorgeous kids (and parents!). Love the twizzler nose. Don’t you love having these amazing pictures for Sierra to look through??? Precious memories.

They turned out really good. I am so glad the rain decided to go away so we could continue with the party. You have such a beautiful family!!! WTG!!!
I took my sweet boy to get some photos before he goes back to school. We had so much fun! He turned 9 in the Spring and is about to go into 4th grade! I keep telling him to quit growing up so fast but he won’t listen to me.
I really should have narrowed them down way more….but I just couldn’t. ♥
My mom and dad cleaned out their garage and gave Noah a ton of old Hardy Boys Books. He loves them!
This awesome photo overlay is by Jacque Larsen. It’s going to be released tomorrow! Go to her shop and be one of the first to purchase the whole set.
He looks just like his daddy in the photo below…

This comment is for Noah. – Noah, thank you so much for giving your Mom the gift of your patience and cooperation. She is going to treasure these photos forever! And you will appreciate them one day yourself. I love how your personality shows through in each photo, but espeically in the jumping photo and the ones with the funny faces. It looks like you had a lot of fun! Thanks for being such a ham and a great model!
To Bethany – Your colors are amazing and spot on! I don’t know how you do it, but don’t stop!
