Today is my birthday.  But not only my birthday, it’s my mom’s birthday too.  Yup… I was born on my mom’s birthday.  I don’t think I fully appreciated just what that meant until I had my kids… so you mean you were in labor?  On your birthday?  Wow… thanks mom

To celebrate we went out to brunch with the family. We would have done dinner but, well, the babies are much more of brunch folks than dinner folks these days… dinner’s past their bedtime unless we get the early bird special

Happy Birthday mom… I love you! Thanks for everything… you’re the best!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous wedding with an amazing and sweet couple. I just love Sarah and Eli and I can’t wait to show you off their wedding I couldn’t choose just one for the sneak peek so instead you get to see two.

How gorgeous is Sarah?!

More images to come soon. And on an unrelated note… just a quick reminder – only two days left to enter the giveaway! All entries must be received my midnight tomorrow (Monday August 10th) so don’t forget to enter and good luck! Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

What can I say? I love photographing twins. Especially boy/girl twins since it is so fun to see two totally different little personalities in full force Little Miss H and little Mr. H just recently celebrated their half birthday and I went over to their house to take some pictures to commemorate the occasion. I cannot get over how cute these two are! They are not only a ridiculously cute pair of babies but they have pretty much the coolest nursery ever (seriously, I want to move in!) and their mom and dad aren’t half bad either

First up little Miss H… can you believe these eyes? What a gorgeous little lady already!

And little Mr. H… not half bad either Such a cutie with his gorgeous smile!

We of course had to get some together as well.

I love this one because it is totally something my little guys would do… always chewing on each other. It’s hilarious!

I get a kick out of this one too… the face! The face is too cute!

And last but not least a couple of family portraits. I love what a beautiful family they are!

H & H happy 6 month birthday! You two are too cute!!

As you can tell from my last post I’m on a sort of an “I love my job!” kick. I also went out and got a new haircut this weekend which I’ve been dying to do for a while now… sort of the cherry on top of my “I just lost my baby weight makeover” that I’ve been working on for the last few months. I was growing my hair for my sister’s wedding and now that the wedding is over I decided it was time for a change. I just have to say that I absolutely love a good short haircut and this one is no exception To top it all off my birthday is next week and all of that put together means that I have been having quite a good weekend!

Because I’m so excited I’ve decided to pass on a little bit of my happiness by hosting a giveaway! I have been wanting to do a session giveaway for a long time and now just seemed like the perfect opportunity!
