Teagan Turns THREE - the formal edition!

Teagan cooperated for some three year photos.  Dare I say she even had FUN doing them?  She really just wanted to go play in her sand box!!!

Teagan Turns THREE

Teagan had an awesome third birthday.  She opened some gifts in the morning and had a blast at her party all afternoon.  It was such a special day shared with family and friends!!!

May Random Photos

Random pictures from the month of May.

Picnic dinner at the Chase Corporate Challenge watching daddy's race

Trip to the playground:

5 weeks

Little Declan is growing so fast, I am trying to take a moment here and there to capture the photos of how small he is before it's too late!  Since he doesn't really *do* anything I have to get creative with mini photo shoots.  Soon enough he will be more active and awake but for now I take the little awake & alert times when I can get them.

Party Planning

Someone is turning THREE in less than two weeks.  Miss Teagan is having a Yo Gabba Gabba themed party - she was very excited to get the invites in the mail!  How can my baby be three already?

One Month!!!

Declan is one month old today!  I can't believe it, where has the time gone?  It has been a great month, that is for certain.  I can't wait to see what each and every month brings!

Family Photos

The result of my Mother's Day photo shoot.  I LOVE these photos!  I still may do more with edits and mainly cropping, since they were taken with a tripod there is no uniqueness to the composition and framing, but that can be fixed with a little crop work.  For now, here they are!

First, some family shots:

Here are some additional photos we took:

And finally, a few practice shots and outtakes worth sharing:

Mother's Day 2011

I was surprised on Mother's Day with breakfast in bed made by Teagan and Matt.  It was a great start to a perfect day.  Part of my gift was a photo shoot Matt wanted to give me to get some photos of myself with my two kids - a much appreciated gift from a photography lover such as myself!  We were also able to use the tripod and timer to get some family photos which was even better!  We enjoyed the nice weather with a walk and playing outside, a picnic dinner on the deck, and I even managed a short nap!  It was a perfect day spent with my favorite people!
