Sneak Peek [Belle Chasse Family Photographer]

Oh my goodness...You have got to see these sweet curls! Little Miss N was looking out at the baseball field, but I couldn't resist grabbing this shot of her beautiful hair!

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles...I love this one!!

We found this pretty little spot that I just fell in love with and had to make them walk through :) What a sweet family!

Last one for now...Such a sweet face.

Two year olds are so much fun because you get to throw the plans out the window because they run the session :). Little Miss N had fun following around bunny rabbits, watching boats, and running down a ramp. See...nothing that I could even image, but I love how the images turned out - fun and full of wonder.

Enjoy your preview! You'll have a full gallery within two weeks.

Good Friends [Belle Chasse Photographer]

Saying goodbye to good friends is always the hardest part of being a military family. This week we had to say goodbye to our good friends - Christy, Perry, PJ, and Lennea. We are going to really miss having them so close, but I know that we'll always remain part of each others' lives. Thank goodness for the email and cell phones :). The kids (especially Andrew) had a hard time dealing. Andrew loves PJ, and they were so close eventhough there is a 3 year age difference between them. Oh...and Hannah just loves Christy! She always knew she could get anything (i.e. sweets) from her :). It was fun going places together, too. Hannah and PJ looked so much like brother and sister. People would always talk to Christy about her little redheads...especially after Lennea came along with her redhair, too. And of course, I'm going to truly miss Christy! It's rare to find such a great friend who really gets you. I love that we were on the same page with our parenting style and just the general way we look at life. And one of the coolest parts of it all was that the guys were friends, too. They could go fishing while we got to do the girly stuff :).

In any case, I respect very much the reason for your move, and think you are right where God wants you to be. I believe in the power of prayer, and I am keeping you all in my prayers everyday! We can't wait to come see you guys and go to the beach! We love you all!

My babies are growing up! [Belle Chasse Children's Photographer]

It's hard to believe how fast they are really growing. When I look at old photos of them, I can still remember the day we took those just like yesterday. They were both such chunky little balls when they were babies. Really...9 1/2 pounds! And now they've slimmed up so much...loosing all that baby fat and looking more and more like a big kid.

Here's some old snap shots so you can see the difference...

These shots were from Hawaii...Hannah was just about to turn 1 and Andrew was 3

This is when we first moved into our first house in Virginia...
Hannah was about 1.5 & Andrew was 3.5

See those baby faces and all the chub :). I still see them like this until I look at a photo and realize that they're both changing so quickly.
