Aruba……

Well – don’t expect any posts from me for about a week. Tomorrow I will be packing and Wednesday morning we will be leaving for ARUBA!!!!! Kylie is staying here – courtesy of our friends and family – and we are SO EXCITED to have some time away.

We are going with three other couples, so it should be tons of fun. It will be nostalgic as well since we spent our honeymoon in Aruba just a few years ago.

I thought it would be fun to include some photos of us on our honeymoon – don’t we look young? It wasn’t that long ago – but it seems like forever…..

These were taken with my trusty point & shoot camera – long before I became a “professional” photographer.

My husband should have known he was in trouble when he saw me setting up the camera on the tree-trunk / cocktail table on the beach. I made him pose for so many pictures – until I had one that I liked…… what a good sport he was!

Hopefully we’ll see lots more of these while we are there….

So behind…..

Okay – it’s taken me a week to get these up – I’m so behind. SORRY!!!

This was another one of my baby planners – and she is already one year old! I really can’t believe it! If you want to see some of the previous pictures click HERE and HERE.

We had fun at the park, then we had a lollipop – and of course a birthday cupcake. She used to just sit and stare at me the whole time while I would take pictures – but now she’s WAY more interested in doing her own thing. We had to hold her down to get some cute family shots.:)

Look at her big blue eyes….

Look at that tongue!!

And of course, enjoying her cupcake.

Happy Birthday!!

The Party

Hmmmm, is this cake really for ME???

It was truly an amazing day. We had a birthday party at Kangazoom for our Kylie Bear. I just can’t believe she is two years old. It became so real to me when she woke up in the morning talking about “Kylie’s Birthday Party” and “Kylie’s Birthday Cake”. Could she really understand what we were talking about????? This picture is priceless to me. She was clapping her hands with glee after everyone sang her the birthday song. She was so proud and happy. And we were so proud and happy. Is she really our little girl? I ask myself that sometimes. How did we get so lucky?

Happy Second Birthday (again)…..:)

Blog Stalker…..

My client and dear friend has been waiting so patiently for me to post some preview pics from our session last weekend – but I know she’s checking my blog all the time – so HERE THEY ARE! Woo-hoo! I feel so bad that it took me 5 days to get them up – but with Kylie’s B-day, Easter, my new I-phone, blah, blah, blah….:)

This was our final session for this one year old sweetheart. The first pictures I took were almost exactly one year before these (when he was about 4 weeks old). You can see the previous sessions by clicking HERE.

The time goes by so fast – I know that sounds cliche – but it’s so true.

Happy Birthday little man!

This was the view I got of him for most of our session – there’s a ton of pictures from this angle – the BEHIND angle! He is on the move and with his own agenda.

And then, this is the second most popular look – the serious face. I’m not sure if he was annoyed with me, bored with me – or maybe both….

But, with patience, you get these faces. The sweet, angel faces that just make your heart melt.

And these faces – with the big belly laugh – or scream!

I’m not ashamed to admit that the next two pictures were taken in the car. Me in the front seat and Mr. “J” in his car seat. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a subject strapped down!!!! Especially a one-year-old! Plus – he was flirting with me the whole time.

And the birthday cupcake – YUMMY!!!

Of course, the post wouldn’t be complete without big sister. She just turned three and is so much older than her years. Such a sweety pie.

Second Post of the Day

Happy Birthday to our Kylie Bear! I thought she deserved a post all her own in my blog since the world revolves around her – at least that’s what most two-year-olds think right?

So, from the words of our little lady…..

It started out like a pretty normal day with a bowl of Kix – but I’m not sure why these goofy rabbits are on my head….

After I played for a while, I went to brunch with the family and ran around outside like a crazy woman. But, I did pause to grace these lucky people with my presence for a picture. Aren’t they cute? Dad, Auntie, Uncle and Grampa!

This is my friend “Mr. Froggie” and his brother “Mr. Froggie”. I kissed him – but he didn’t turn into a prince. What a dirty trick!

After a MUCH NEEDED nap, I went for an Easter Egg Hunt with all my friends. I’m not really sure why everyone spent so much time looking for eggs when the real treasure is the candy inside. I ate a lot of Jelly Beans!

Fueled by my Jelly Beans, Chocolate and who knows what else – I joined the fun in the jumpy house. The best part was mashing my face against the side while my static hair stood straight up! If you want a better look at my face, just click on the picture.

My parents didn’t think I had enough to eat, so after dinner they brought out a BIRTHDAY CAKE! Mommy’s favorite – chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. My official party is next week, so I’ll get another cake then! Woo-hoo!

Oh, I LOVE cake – but especially the frosting…

And the ice cream was soooooo yummy too!

After I finished my delicious treat, I put on my best innocent face so my mommy would get me out of the chair and I could really go crazy from the sugar……. What a GREAT day!
