This is one of my favorite families. They have been with me for years, and I’ve loved watching their girls grow. These sweet girls never fail to give me great personality and lots of laughs! 🙂 Dad is totally outnumbered…

Matthew’s mom contacted me to have her son’s sweet sixteen pictures done. She knows we’ll be doing senior images in just 2 short years, but this is a different stage of life that she really wanted to capture. I couldn’t agree more! Too often we forget to have our kids photographed between the 12-16 year range. Those years are so fun and so amazing…and so fleeting! Don’t forget this stage in their lives.

I really enjoyed walking around downtown Bentonville and chatting with Matthew. He is such a fun guy. 🙂

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! 🙂

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! 🙂
