John, Rachel, Zoey & Bridger :)

meet John, Rachel, Zoey and Bridger!

they were a ton of fun!

the kids are ridiculously cute!

they had me in smiles the entire time :)

we decided to meet at the train station...

yes, those are train wheels above :)

after i finished editing, proofing and touching up the images...

i kind of started over.

i couldn't help myself.

they were just irresistible!

but, can you really have too many pictures?

mmmmaybe???

maybe not?

did I mention that these kiddos had me in smiles???

well....

they certainly had me crackin' up!

Bailee Nicole (creative inspiration)

meet Bailee Nicole.

she is a cutie-patootie!

Bailee is my first model (other than my own girls) for my creative project.

it took two separate days to do the shoot...

but, she was so stinkin' cute I didn't mind :)

my girls are the ones who inspired this project...

however...

kids in general are sooo free...

to say what they think and show how the feel...

there's something very inspiring in that.

their free spirit and kindred heart is something we all could learn from.

they love unconditionally...

they smile that contagious smile at all the right times...

and their hugs and loves are out of this world...

their giggles make this world go round and round.

the cutest chucks I've ever seen :)

i wanted to make sure to get a snap shot or two of Bailee and her mama.

thanks Nicole for letting your little girl model for me :)

the Gerber Fam Bam

meet the Gerber Family :)

we've been talking about doing a shoot for over a year now...

we finally made it happen after canceling once (it was super dooper cold and windy)...

I think I took more pictures of this family than of any other (other than my own of course)...

the kiddos were too cute and I didn't know it but I was working on a great sunburn...

McKay & Lyla.

this shoot was a mother's day gift.

and lemme tell you...

Miss Alla is one stinkin' cute mama :)

one way to get Lyla to smile...

was to JUMP!

she absolutely loved it!

actually...I'm pretty sure the entire family loved it!

and little McKay had a library full of silly faces...

and I ate it up!

he also had plenty of hugs (and tugs) for his sister :)

all in all, it was a fun, blustery day :)

happy mother's day Alla!
