Pinned it and DID IT!

So, like many, after opening a Pinterest account, I was hooked. I loved looking at the diy section and particularly the cute outfits and blankets people were sewing. Then, after reading many tutorials, I thought, "I can do that!" I enlisted the help of good friend Laura Schwieterman and "made" my first blanket for Emma.

We hand ruffled that edge! That's a test people! A test of patience and courage!

Then I was on my own.... Santa brought me my very own sewing machine and I had to prove that I could sew with no help.

So here's Peyton's blankie. Every stitch was sewn by me! I have a lot of room for improvement but I did it!

It's a cotton front and super soft minky dot back.
She loves it!! ... I hope!

Snow!!!

I LOVE it!!!

krista- senior

I have been extremely blessed this summer with amazing seniors! They have all been so kind and a joy to photograph. I have the hardest time picking my favorites and always proof way more than promised.

Krista was no exception! She was so fun and I loved her choice of outfits! Thanks Krista!

alicia + mike

Alicia was the winner of my mini session back so her and Mike met me to do some engagement photos. They were great to work with and I want to wish the best of luck with thier wedding this December!

Peyton- 6mth

My baby turned 6 months on this past Monday. I am still in awe of how she changed my life. I could go on about Peyton and the joy she brings us but instead I am going to say nothing and let the photos speak for themselves.

I begged Adam out from watching TV for these pictures. At first, he was not the happy assistant I was hoping for but he would agree now that it was worth all the effort. I can not thank him effort for putting up with my last minute ideas!

daddy and his baby girl.... melts my heart!

my drug of choice!!!

hannah- 6mths

Oh, how I love seeing Miss Hannah. She's one of the happiest babies I know and always dressed to perfection. Still loving the yellow outfit! She also has some of the bluest eye around so watch out boys there's a cutie brewing!

It also might help that her momma is a great friend of mine so I might be bias a little too.

Thanks for all the smiles!
