1000 Cranes

In Japan, the tradition of folding 1,000 cranes is done when someone has a wish, be it for peace, health or luck. In 2006 it was THE year to do it (where was I?), so this adorable couple got to work folding and have had good luck ever since!

I thought this was such a beautiful story when they showed me the one crane they wanted photographed. And then I decided to ask if they had any more.....

apparently they did!

Isn't she just gorgeous?

I LOVE maternity shoots. This soon to be mom and dad were wonderful to photograph! Great ideas and input, and great people to work and talk with.

I can't wait to *hopefully* meet their baby girl!

And of course, LeAnn made these booties herself...

Art

"Art!" That is what my son says every time he draws a line in the dirt:)
In this case, we went to the "Art Park" for a fun family photo shoot and I adore these photos. This family has such vibrance and I definitely think they reflect that!

At the risk of completely overloading you... here's only a few that I love....

This photo put me over the edge. Tears, baby.

Seriously, are you melting yet?

cuteness. cuteness. cuteness.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Wee One

What a dream this little one was! He stayed awake the entire session and what a wiggle worm:) So, no sleeping baby photos... but I do believe I am quite alright with that!

Thanks so much John and Angie! And thank you little Will, of course.

Oh Happy Day

mmmmmm...this little boy is just delicious to look at, don't you think?

Oh, what a cute family! Yen found me on momslikeme.com and I'm so glad she did!

Their little one was so active and so fun to photograph.

Don't you love how he's just hang'n out?

I cannot get enough shots of mama's kissing their babies!
