Baby Megan came to visit me today at the studio and brought her awesome Mommy and Daddy.

Here are just a few sneak peeks, I will see you guys on Friday to see the rest.

Here you go John and Torrie…….here’s Calleigh.

I was so excited to see Torrie, and her little girl yesterday, and the proud Nana too!  You see, Torrie is my younger cousin.  I remember when we were growing up how Shawn (Torrie’s older brother) and I would torture Torrie and my sister Jessica.  We always got in trouble for it (even if they started it), cause Torrie was her Daddy’s little Princess. 

Well now Torrie has a Princess of her own, and it was my pleasure to spend the day with them all yesterday.  Torrie is such a good Mommy, and just loves her baby girl to pieces.  You can just see the love in eyes when she looks at Calleigh.

I love you guys and congratulations again!

Here you go Ashleigh, just a few from your session today.  I had a blast, and hope you did too!

Yesterday we took off to Old Orchard Beach and met up with a wonderful family for their beach portraits!
There were 22 people in all, and I had a blast.  Thank you Diane and Kurt for inviting me to your home.  Olivia and Evan had a blast playing on the beach and I had a great time getting to know your family!

My husband is home from work this week so we decided that we would just hang out and get some stuff done around the house and take a few day trips.

We went to Six Flags on Sunday and that was a blast! Haven’t had so much fun in such a long time. Of course we forgot the sunblock and we all got fried. Yikes!

Monday and Tuesday were quiet, but i did take the kids up to visit with the horses and goats up at the farm by Hampshire Hills. We bought some carrots at Lull Farm (love that place) and went to feed the animals.

I got several pics of the kids feeding the horses but this picture just screams to me every time I see it! I love that the even though this baby is so big, she still needs her Momma!

This precious little cutie came in to visit with me today and I had such a good time getting to know him and his Mommy and Daddy.

Here are just a few sneak peeks, I hope you enjoy. 

Today my baby girl graduates 8th grade.  I am just so amazed at how far my baby girl has come.  When I delivered Sidney in January of 1995, I knew my life was just beginning.  I knew that every emotion I would ever feel again would be different.  When I cried, it would not always be a sad cry.  I would cry because I was happy, sad, shocked, overwhelmed or proud.
Well tonight when I cry, it will be because I am proud.  I am so proud of my girl Sidney!  I know how much she dislikes school, but she made it.  The anticipation of her entering high school has me biting my nails and begging her to stay in 8th grade, even though I know it’s not possible.  Sidney will be entering into the culinary program at school and I could not be happier (neither could she, I swear I didn’t push it on her.).

I just had to share my excitement with you, and thought I’d share a picture of my beautiful girl.

This precious little girl came to visit me today, and I have to tell you that the first thing I thought was she’s so precious, but the second thingI thought was Daddy needs to take off his shirt.  I’ve been dying to photograph a naked baby on their Daddy’s tattoo’d arm.  Mom had some pretty cool tattoo’s too!  Made for some really awesome pics.

After doing this girls older brother’s Senior Portraits, their Mom wanted another photo to hang on the wall so she brought this beautiful young lady in to see me today. I’m so happy she did.
