Some faves that make me smile

Flowers in her hair..flowers everywhere...

A sneak peek for my sis-in-law Jacie...

My sis-in-law just started her business LaNae Bloom and I got to take pictures of her super cute headbands and clips (on some super cute models)!

These headbands are adorable and so versatile. Each flower clip can be changed from being clipped to the headband to a full head of hair! You can get multiple looks for your baby or big sis without having to buy multiple headbands. So if you buy 1 headband and 1 flower clip, you can use the flower for the headband or just solo in her hair. Better yet, imagine how many looks you can get when you buy multiple flowers!

Her headbands come in black and white and are super stretchy and soft for that babe of yours. And a huge array of sizes and colors of flowers. I love the pearls, crystals and buttons that she uses in each center. They look darling.

Can I say Merry Christmas?? (hint*hint)

Georgia on my mind

I had the super cool opportunity to go back to Columbus, Ga and take some pictures of some old friends. I LOVE this family. I know, I know..I love a lot of families. But seriously, I adore these guys (and girl). I have been friends with everyone--I mean cousins and moms and dads and aunts and uncles since I married into the Stroud's. And the Stroud's have been friends with everyone for forever and a day. So when Leanna said, "Hey--can you take our pictures when you are in town?" I totally jumped at the opportunity and made a quick trip up there just for them (oh-and to celebrate my daughter's b-day with my in-laws too:)

Here you go Leanna--you blog stalker you! I hope you love them:)

Oh my gosh these boys are so cute. I remember babysitting them when they were little, and now they are so grown up and I definitely think more adorable than ever before.

I might get in serious trouble for putting this on here--but it made me laugh so hard so I just couldn't help it!

I miss you so

Here's a couple photos from one last shoot before I left Seattle. These are my bestest friend's baby girls (who are ALL OVER my portfolio)--whom I have watched grow and play with my children over the last 3 years. Oh how I miss their smiles, tears, laughter, silly faces, hugs, chubbiness, sweetness and love.

My darling girls...

I did not give you your first bath

I did not witness your first steps

but I loved you

I did not hear the sound of your first laugh

but I loved you

I did not put you on time-out

I did not count your daily sugar intake

I did not teach you about barbie.com

I did not show you how to pray

You did not come from me

but I loved you

Instead you came to me
