As you know by now, I’m quite smitten with Miss Mason. And it’s so easy to see why! Since she was born, I feel like she’s grown up right here on my blog. She’s always got a smile, a laugh, or a hug to share. A few weeks ago you saw Mason’s Sneak Peek from our time spent in a little garden, watching squirrels scurry from tree to tree on a cloudy afternoon. How about some more from her session? Yes, please! Coming right up!

Oh, Mason, what a sweetie!

Mason absolutely adores her little bunny rabbit – she hugged him all afternoon!

A favorite!

Walking on a pretty pathway…watching squirrels frolic and play in the distance.

There were several squirrels running around, gathering nuts, and hiding them for winter.

Mason wanted to befriend one so badly!

Another favorite!

Loooove this!

Sweet pink dress, ruffled socks, and little black Mary Janes!

Mason, thanks again for spending the afternoon with me! It was so fun to watch you run and play!

Can’t wait to see you again soon!

Mason: 18 months

A few weeks ago, you saw the Sneak Peek from their session…well, I’m happy to show you more from our fun evening! Jack just recently celebrated his 5th birthday…Happy Birthday, Jack!!! I hope your party was a blast! Ok, now on to their images! And be sure to check out their Sneak Peek!

“Surround Yourself With The Things You Love”…perfect!

Starting off with a favorite, why not?!

Jack’s 5!!! Turning 5 is a very big deal!

Jack brought along some of his favorite things…super hero action figures! Another favorite!

Thank you to the perfect breeze that blew at just the right time!

Jack can jump, Jack can fly! 🙂

After all the flying and jumping, it was time for an ice cream break! Jack’s favorite flavor?

Vanilla, a classic!

No ice cream headaches were involved in the making of these photos. 🙂

Todd had recently returned from serving our country in Afghanistan for the past year.

These next images just melted my heart.

And being able to photograph this family happily together again absolutely made my day.

Quite possibly my favorite image from the whole evening! Such a happy family!

I love the way Todd looks at Cristina!

Loooove.

Are you kidding me?! How adorable is Jack here?

OMG! Absolutely adorable!

Want more of this handsome guy? Ok!

Todd, Cristina, and Jack, it was so much fun to hang out with you!

We couldn’t have asked for a better evening! You are the best!

I know I say that I love my job all the time, but, honestly, I truly do love my job!!! Why? Simply because I get to meet and hang out with cool people…like this family! They showed up ready to rock their evening session. Here are some of my favorites!

Love this! Such a good looking family!

Hello, Greer and Parker!

Lovely Louree! A beautiful name (pronounced like Marie, with an “L”), a gorgeous smile,

sparkling eyes, and killer boots!

Hi there, Parker! I absolutely adore her smile!

And, this whole family is just blessed with amazing, soulful eyes!

Meet Greer. She is beautiful! Although she is quite, her eyes tell a story.

And she picked this awesome spot on her own, bravely climbed right up, and worked it out!

Lana + John, you two are so cute!

And here’s Harrison! What a handsome guy!

Another favorite! I love a happy family!

Thank you, John, Lana, Harrison, Louree, Greer, and Parker…what a great evening!

Thanks for being up for anything, and making your session so much fun!

Can’t wait for you to see the rest of your images…more to come soon!

“Sugar and spice, and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of!” And Mason is one of those sweet little girls! She is growing so fast…and she moves fast too! I can’t believe she’s just over 18 months old now…time sure does fly, doesn’t it? (Check out Mason’s “her-story” here, here, here, here, here, and here.)

Favorite! Mason, you are the definition of cute!

She brought one of her favorite toys, Hop-Hop, aka Hoppy the Bunny. 🙂

And I just love this one…

Like I said, she can move fast! Off and running!

We played a game, which I now call Bunny See, Bunny Do.

When Bunny sat on the chair, Mason wanted to do it too! 😉

I just love Mason’s carefree spirit and energy in this one!

We saw a few squirrels running around, and she would have loved to have caught one!

Mason, thank you for spending your afternoon with me! You are a total sweetheart!

More to come soon!
