Our first born celebrated his thirteenth birthday this weekend. The more time I have to sit and think about it, the more I can’t believe it’s been that long. People say it all the time, but time really does fly by. In a few more short years I’ll be taking him to his dorm room at college! He does not enjoy having his picture taken, but he humored his mother for a bit this afternoon. I even got his natural, big smile. That’s a huge feit for those of you that know him. 🙂

Clary has been down in the dumps with a nasty virus, but she was happy for about 5 seconds today so I threw her in there for a couple quick shots. It’s crazy to see pictures of my oldest and youngest together.

Last fall this fun mom and dad brought an adorable baby boy to me. This is what he looked like then.

And this is how much he’s grown! 🙂

To know this family is to love them. I can’t believe how time is just flying by! Sweet Ella has got some great big brothers to take care of her, and this first image is one of my favorites of them together. It is a perfect representation of who is in charge, haha! 🙂

This next one was fun to get. She wasn’t much interested in getting her picture taken, but skipping rocks sure got her over there!

I really enjoyed photographing this family. Mom said ‘M’ picked out her own outfit, so everyone had to cordinate with her. Love that! Little ‘H’ reminds me of our Levi, a cuddlebug. 🙂 We did a little bit downtown and a little bit nature. ‘H’ even got to dress up and hope for rain. 🙂

I love this next duo. Isn’t he just the cutest?!

Or bone of my bone,

But heart of my heart,

And soul of my soul.’

It’s been a while since a client has kept me on my toes as well as big sister did! You could find her picture next to the word ‘Independent’ in the dictionary. I loved her energy, huge smile, and uncontrollable laugh! She will no doubt be a fun big sister to their newest family member, Emma Grace. I’m told these beautiful girls are the first girls in a couple generations on dad’s side, so you can imagine grandma is having a field day with the girly shopping! 🙂
