More Valentine Love

At times I really wish I could just be normal and go to the grocery store to pick up Valentine's cards for my kids.  It would save me so much time.  But then that wouldn't be me would it?  So for Valentine's this year of course I had to come up with a photo shoot idea and then tie it in with some sort of treat for the kids to give to their class.  It's a little tricky because Celia's class does not allow sweet treats so I have to get creative.

                                                                   Here's the final product...

I can't take full credit for the glow stick idea and quote.  They came from something I saw on Pinterest.  I almost changed up the quote, but it fit so perfectly that I kept it.  Thank you Pinterest with providing me with countless ideas and inspiration.

Here's the full shoot.  It only took me a few minutes to do the pictures.  At least I'm getting faster at this stuff.



Sugar = pure happiness

Thanks Nanny for the basket-o-sugar you had delivered to the house the day before Valentine's Day.  You can see the kids didn't like the surprise at all ;)  Can you believe we still have one cookie left and haven't even opened the jelly beans yet?  I am rationing off small pieces of the cookies to them.  They can only handle so much sugar at a time.

So Sweet

I promised much more sweetness so here I am delivering.  How gorgeous is this new family of 4?  They are some of coolest people I know and I am so happy for them and their new little girl.  This is my 3rd newborn to photograph and very likely my last.  After number two I had decided that newborns were not my thing.  But since Jill is such a good friend of mine I agreed to give it one more shot with her new addition here.  And what I discovered is that I really already knew what I wanted.  I think I will leave the newborn shooting to the experts and stick with what I love, the walkers and their families.  So I hope you enjoy this, my last newborn session.

Introducing Miss Kennedy Grace...

and her fabulous family...

and I couldn't let her little sister get ALL the attention.  Miss Reese is such a sweetheart and a great big sister.

Congrats on your beautiful family Jill.  I hope you love the pictures and that you're getting a little more sleep ;)
