Kylee is almost two. She’s a bit shy at first, however, mommy told me once she was used to me she would not stop talking. For the first 5 minutes Kylee wanted to be right in mom’s lap. I wasn’t worried, I knew once we started playing she would open up. It didn’t take long for her to start running and jumping and chasing me. Mom was right, this girl can talk. I could not believe how well she spoke. She was carrying on a conversation with me in complete sentences and all her words were pronounced perfectly. Had I not already known she was not even two yet I would have sworn I was talking to a 4 or 5 year old.

Kylee loved my camera. She wanted so bad to hold the big canon. With a little help we were able to make that happen. Tori, watch out, you may have a budding photographer on your hands.

P.S. Kylee and I have something very important in common.
We both love our cowboy boots:

I love everything about these last 4 images. Don’t they just scream “childhood” memories?!

Summer break has come to a close. I have a lot of work to catch up on, however, I took the weekend off to spend with my boys. My oldest, a third grader! WOW! How in the world do I have an 8 year old?! I want to savor every.single.moment of 8.

P.S. Clients, rest assured, I am and will be working diligently to get your emails answered, invoices sent, albums designed, and photos proofed. You guys are awesome!!

Summer break is coming to a close. I still can’t believe how fast it went by. Is it just me or does summer break seem to be starting later and ending sooner? Maybe I should be looking forward to school starting, but I’m not. I want another week, another month…. I want to do more swimming, go to the beach, take a road trip. As the countdown begins to the first day of school I am trying to savor every moment. My oldest will be in 3rd grade. I can hardly believe I am the mother of an 8 year old. If only I could stop time, just for a moment.

We spent some time with very close friends of ours this week. It was refreshing to take a break from it all and enjoy all of the kid’s laughter, to jump in the pool with kids hanging on my back, to blow bubbles underwater, cannonballs, and float around on rafts.
I snapped some photos the other day while hanging out and I am so glad I did. I love the joy on all of the kid’s faces. Summer = times we will never forget!

Just a little sneak peek from the family session I did in Key West.
