Ok folks, this is the last post in celebration of National Chocolate Lovers Month. I hope that y’all have enjoyed the recipes I’ve shared. Everything looked sinfully good!
For the last, mouth-watering, recipe share I present: Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. Let the drooling commence.
Check out the recipe here! Happy indulging!
This little guy was SUCH a pleasure to work with. He was the best sleeper I’ve had in a while! No matter how many times he was shuffled around, dressed or undressed, he remained peacefully asleep. It was so nice and it made me glad to know that Mom could sit down and relax for a while. 
This little guy came in to this world 6 weeks early, but that doesn’t seem to have phased his health or growth at all! Obviously, he’s a happy little guy!
I was so glad that both parents could be present for their “first family photo session”! Again, this little prince made it really easy on everyone and we got through the family images with ease.
We had to take advantage of the extra time we had with Mommy and Son, and what a blessing that was! We got some beautiful images for this new family to enjoy forever. Looking forward to watching this little man grow.
Ok, never again will I try to save a few bucks by opting to “do it yourself” construct a piece of furniture. I realize that a bean bag really isn’t furniture (although I may have argued this point in college) but it was probably MORE annoying than a table or chair would have been to assemble. Actually, annoying doesn’t even begin to describe the situation. Disaster. Disaster would be a better descriptive. Here’s what happened…
I ordered a large leather bean bag for use in the studio. Great prop for little ones! It was sent “un-filled” along with 4 gigantic bags of styrofoam beans to be placed inside. When we began the arduous task of delicately pouring the beans into the bag through the tiny, 8 inch velcro opening we realized that this was NOT going to be easy. You see, styrofoam is seriously static-y, especially in the dead of winter. So when we went to “pour” beans into the bag, they instead stuck all over the OUTSIDE of the bag…and us. And the floor. And the walls. This-is-not-a-joke!
“Hey, I have an idea!” I said. “Why don’t we get my kids out here to help us?”…..famous last words….
So as things went from bad to worse, we finally broke down- in fits of laughter. Might as well take advantage of this wonderful photo opp!
Finally, the clean up. 3 grown women, 3 kids, 1 shop vac and oh, I don’t know, maybe an hour later? SUCCESS!
Lesson learned= sometimes “do it yourself” isn’t always best. And styrofoam is evil. Happy Wednesday!
This sweet little “towhead” beauty wanted to celebrate her first birthday- libbie wicket style! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her since she was born and it has been so fun watching her grow.
Here she is at 4 days, 6 months and 1 year!
Now that this little gal can walk, she is on the GO! There’s no stopping her, she loves to explore. We were all enjoying being outside in the lovely weather!
Another thing that she loves? Her Mama and Daddy! This little family has a great bond. Everyone truly enjoys being together and playing. Such a great family to spend my afternoon with!
Speaking of family- this one is about to expand! Little goldilocks will make a great big sister and I can’t wait to capture the upcoming milestones for this clan.
Better late than never! This is the latest “style guide” post that we wanted to share. This month we are still in some muted brown colors for winter but with February being the month of love and Valentines we had to throw in a little pink. As the weather warms the colors and fashions will reflect the change and we love seeing what our stylish families come up with for their sessions! Hope this has inspired you today. Happy Monday.
Interested in the looks of this delicious, sugar rimmed, pomegranate margarita and table-side guacamole-making station? Well, look no further than Rosa Mexicano in Atlantic Station!
This place has a nice atmosphere, fresh food (and guac!), yummy drinks (see pomegranate marg above), and is easy to get to. It’s a fun way to spend an afternoon lunching and sipping, or even a casual date night with your spouse. Enjoy!
