Sweet Lucy is 6 months old! And what a precious, sweet peanut she is. She is a very content baby (reminds me of my own little princess, Mia). And she adores her big sister, Lily. I have never heard anything as sweet as Lily saying, “Lucy smile. Smile Lucy.” Her little voice is so cute and Lucy beams that beautiful smile right back at her.
And I think this might be my favorite family photo I have ever taken…
Happy 6 months, sweet Lucy!
Just wanted to drop a few photos here of Mia’s birthday weekend. We were so happy that our family from Oklahoma was able to make it down here for the festivities. And by festivities, I mean cake and presents. I wanted Mia’s birthday party to be relaxed, fun, and completely stress free and that’s exactly what it was. Only family was present and it was a very special afternoon. Now onto the photos…
First off, the cake made by my wonderfully talented friend, Kim Wood. If you are interested in her making a lovely creation such as this for you, just let me know and I will get you in touch with her. And it tastes as wonderful as it looks 
And then the birthday girl herself. She just started walking. So proud of her.
She wasn’t too keen on the tutu, so it didn’t last long. Ah! Jeggings make everything better.
My beautiful sister-in-law, Angela, and my sweet niece, Addie.
Clapping with Grammy, yet another new trick of hers.
Do you feel like she already knows what’s coming?
She started off eating the icing and then she spotted the hole in the center of the cake where the candle had been. She stuck her thumb down there and thought the cake was so delicious, that she repeated this process over and over. So adorable.
Inside the cake was a wonderful surprise!
And then she realized her hands were dirty and got very upset, but never fear, Daddy calmed her down and all was well again.
Present time! This little toy was picked out by Duke from the dollar section at Target. Dollar section toys are always a huge hit.
The next few were not from party day, but I couldn’t help but include them here…
Addie’s version of a hug. Melt my heart!
And my mother may kill me for posting these, but I love these walking shots of Mia
So, that’s was Mia’s birthday celebration in a nutshell. Thanks for taking the time to check out the photos!
On this Thanksgiving weekend, I have had time to reflect on things for which I am thankful. And one of those things is good friends. Linde is one of those good friends and I am certainly thankful for her. I was so glad to have the opportunity to photo her family. Finding the perfect location proved to be quite a challenge, but I honestly don’t think we could have done better than this. The location was perfect, the light divine, and the kids on their very best behavior. I may have embellished on that last statement just a bit Linde and I joked that we now understand and believe parents when they say, “My kids NEVER act like this.” But nevertheless, the photos turned out gorgeous and I have to admit that I am pretty proud of them.
Kyle came for a visit all the way from Boston for his 24th birthday and was kind enough to agree to a family photo session at the beach with dear mom and dad…and the family dog. It was a little chilly, but otherwise a gorgeous afternoon. I hope you all enjoy your sneak peek.
