What a fun shoot! I first met Lynne when she did a maternity shoot with me and she was pregnant with her first. Now here we are years later – we each have another child. How time flies!

On this particular day her oldest was not wanting to be in any one place too long – so I tailed him for a while to get some shots. My favorite are at the fountain. His face, his eyes say it all; he was having fun!

Then his brother sat so well for a couple of shots; I just love the shot here he is peek over at me. Then shortly after he refused to leave his mom’s arms – but that didn’t mean he wasn’t a total ham. . .

Thanks Lynne for the fun morning!

We have a fun little tradition that has started in our family. Each Father’s Day we go to Murphy’s Landing to see “the old people” as my daughter’s affectionately call them. We tour the houses set up as they were decades ago. We talk with the people in costume – this year we met Abe Lincoln. There are animal pelts, spinning wheels and even a game of baseball. My daughter even got in trouble for talking while the teacher was talking and had to place her nose on the caulk board at the front of the schoolhouse. That got her attention!

The weather was amazing this year. I snapped a couple fun pictures of the crew. My poor husband being a good sport:

My oldest daughter is the only one of our children who has light-colored eyes. They are so pretty to photography:
