Without embarrassing Ailey,
Hilary went WAY above and beyond for this session...

You'd never know it looking at this pic but it POURED today -
before, during, and after our session!
It was challenging to say the least --
but the light coming through
the barn for this moment just looks perfect.
(amazing considering the dreary day)

We'll be sharing more with you soon -
but here's one to tie you over.
Thanks Hil, you're the best! <3

And an extra thanks to Su & Charlie for
letting us use their amazing barn...

Ailey had such a good time at her field trip this morning...
She loved the story - and mom enjoyed watching her interact with her classmates and meeting a few of the parents.
(and the weather was PERFECT!)

I've not had time to really process these or even go through them... so bare with me --
There may be a few more of these in a few days - once I've had a chance to really look them over...

and... a few from later in the day
(my favorite chair - ever!)

As you look at these - I will say this...
there are days when it's just hard...
hard to be mom.
And try as I did, it was just a hard to keep track of,
love despite of,
and keep calm no matter what
kind of afternoon for us.

Looking at her here you'd probably never know it...
Looking at these tonight brought me some peace -
and an overflowing sense of love
and joy for our vibrant little one.
She is vibrant - and I'm privileged to share these with you.

might just be my favorite of the day.... it's such a good representation of Ailey right now ---
always on the move... always somewhere else to be and something else to do...

on a side note...
had a great session with Emily & Jesse today.
We wanted to get a few outdoor pics to add to their wedding collection since it rained on their actual wedding day. More to come of these two - I just have to get some 'real work' :) done first! (but... don't they look beautiful!)

This post is filled with dress up -
the letter F - and Jack-Jack...
I so love our crazy, wonderful,
loveable, amazing, firecracker of a daughter.
So much of her personality shows
through in these images of her.
Enjoy them -- I know we do!

We've got a busy week ahead of us this week -
Family pics and a trip to the
pumpkin patch with Ailey's school.
Stay tuned for those pics later this week!
