jill & davis.

jill and davis were just about the cutest thing ever.  we had a portrait session out at their lodge.  usually with guys, we have to spend the first ten minutes or more gaining their trust, reassuring them that stuff like this and this will not be part of the process.  but davis was so laid back from the get go.  no cheesy smiles or stiff poses for this guy!  we grabbed some shots with their four dog babies too, i hate that i can’t remember all their names.  that was fun!  here are a few favs.

July 3, 2009 - 2:09 pm greta & amber - glad you said it baxter, i thought she looked like cameron diaz too!!! didn't want to be the one to say it first, cause i have just about everyone pinned to a celebrity look-alike! :) we're gonna have a good 3rd, 4th, *annnnnnnd* 5th!! cuz smitten be very thorough!

paisley.

at the risk of making our other clients jealous… we love this little girl!!!!!  of COURSE we love you ALL!!!  but paisley has become a regular and we have loved getting to be a part of her growing up.  her mom leeann is totally laid back and always lets us take over, which means best pics ever!! :)  paisley is full of giggles and fun and we always have the best time.  i suspect she loves us almost as much as we love her.  you can see some of our favs from paisley’s previous sessions here and here.  this time around, we got to snap a few with paisley and her new puppy rider!!!

she was talking princesses here…

i think this was when she was demonstrating what she was learning in dance class for us…

paisley and rider, her fluffy fur-ball of a pup

i heart this so so so much…

brooks&mary.

last week, we met up with 4 year-old brooks and his 13 month-old little sis mary for some fun pics at their house.  they were absolute dolls and brooks enjoyed showing off his cars, his tree climbing skills and his really cool room!  mary enjoyed showing us her new walking skills by not sitting down or standing still for a split second!! :)  she was a busybody, it really reminded me of lark at that age!!  here are a few smitten favs!

i love this…

baby biz.

this beautiful baby girl is little miss biz.  i went to elementary and middle school with her mom betsy, and we met back up recently thanks to facebook.  i hadn’t seen her since 8th grade and for some reason i was really nervous as i headed out the door to go meet up with her and her husband alan and baby biz.  but they were so laid back i got over that super quick and we had a fun couple hours catching up!  here’s your sneak peek guys!! :)

i LOVE this one.  it’s just so her.  peaceful, contemplative, gnawing those fists :D

biz finished her bottle and drifted off to sleep.  look at that dreamy smile.  so sweet!
