Fun Firsts

Both of my kiddos experienced a first this week. 

Jackson had his first day of preschool for the 2014/2015 school year on Tuesday (September 2nd). He is in the Sunshine Class this year with Miss Becky and Miss Mary. He had a fun first day and hopefully he has a great school year!

Then yesterday evening (September 3rd) I gave Avery her first taste of Rice Cereal. She wasn't sure if she liked it at first, but after a few bites and getting the hang of eating off a spoon, she really enjoyed it. She was a mess afterwards, of course, but I'm so happy she liked it. She ended up eating the whole bowl and would get excited when she knew she was getting another bite. :-)

Storybook Photography - Millie's One Year Farm Session

Two weekends ago, I had my first repeat session. I met this little cutie when she was just a baby and I was delighted when her mom called and wanted me to take her 1 year pictures. :-) Little Millie is absolutely adorable and we had the PERFECT backdrop... her Grandmother's farm. It was SO much fun. A photographers dream really. An adorable toddler + a perfect farm location + a beautiful summer evening = gorgeous photos. Definitely one of my favorite sessions to date. 

A sucker gets a smile every time. :-)

This old blue truck just happened to be on the property and my heart skipped a beat when I saw it. I just LOVE it!!

Wordless Wednesday

Too cute for words!

(Monday night, Jackson wanted the baby to lay in his bed with him. ♥)

My Thoughts on Being a Boy Mom

Today, I'm excited to be guest posting over at Chasin Mason. Elizabeth has a Boy Mom Series and I was so excited when she asked me if I'd like to guest post! I love being a boy mom so much more than I ever expected. Please head over to her blog and check out my post. :-)

Favorite Photo Friday

This week has been super busy, so I'm sorry I haven't posted much. I do have a pretty cute picture to share though. I took this Monday night and I think it turned out pretty stinkin cute!! She is such a butterball and I just love it.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

A Storybook Photography Photo Session - Landon's Back to School Pictures

My nephew Landon started second grade today! Crazy how that just happened over night! Ha. Last year, my sister found this great old desk at a thrift store and we took Landon's back to school pictures with it. You can see them here. So we decided to try it again this year! They turned out really cute and we had fun taking them. :-)

 

Favorite Photo Friday

I haven't shared a favorite photo in a while, so I thought I'd share this one! I love this photo that I took last night of the kids playing together on the play mat. It used to be Jackson's, and now Avery is at a good age to use it. Of course, Jackson wants to do everything Avery is doing, so he had to lay down there with her. ♥  He even wants us to do to him, whatever we do to Avery. (For example, last night I was taking Avery's weekly photo on a piece of fabric, so Jackson got a blanket, layed down on it and wanted me to take a picture of him too. Ha! He even wanted me to use the little stuffed animal I was using to get Avery's attention. Too funny.)

So here is a quick picture that I'm loving because I love that my kiddos are happily playing together, something that I hope will happen more and more as Avery gets older!
