Newborn Baby Girl "E" Portraits

I had the opportunity to photograph a 6-day-old baby and her family at their home earlier this week. Wow! What a little sweetie... you really do forget how small your own kids once were until you see a newborn up close again. This was a treat, and she was wide awake during the entire session, so that was an added bonus.

Wordless Wednesday

Morning at the Nature Center

This was the first Monday in a long time that we didn't have preschool or any other plans, so I decided to take the boys to a nature center that's about 20 minutes away. We've been there twice (you can see past pictures here and here) and they both really love it.

There is a creek and all kinds of messy activities that are just perfect for my kiddos. Unfortunately, we were a bit under-dressed, with temps in the low 60s, wind, and lots of shade. Playing in the creek was out of the question, but that didn't stop the boys from having a great time. Plus we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves.

I always go crazy taking pictures here because there are just so many great scenic backdrops! So here you go...

They actually posed like this on their own!

They had to dump out all the rainwater that had collected in containers
