Kindness...

Most of the coming posts are little similar.  As I said before we went to a park with the Willardson grand-daughters and had a picnic and some photo fun.  This little niece of ours in particular I love so much.  One of my favorite memories of her is at Disneyland when she saw another little cousin didn't have a princess dress to wear that day.  She took off hers and gave it to the cousin to wear.  That is just an example of the kind heart this little one has.  She is such a big helper and loves to make our little Nash smile.

I love her smile with the wrinkly nose!  Too cute.

I love this photo.  I couldn't decide which version I liked best.  What do you think?


I know it is a weird expression but I love the candids and she was another who loved to pose!

I'M BACK with more Trevor, Rachel and Fam!

Alright I am back!  I had to take a little hiatus to get the family moved and situated here in Pennsylvania.  Now that we are some what settled I am ready to get going on the LARGE list of pictures I need to finish for the wonderful Willardson family.  So remember this couple....

If not meet my BIL and SIL Trevor and Rachel.  They have 2 beautiful daughters who I have to say were the most fun to take pictures of especially the eldest because she loves to pose...lol.  I almost had to calm her posing down she was such a little model.  I had so much fun taking these pictures, I hope you all enjoy them...

Another little busy one I had to run around to try and get a good shot...I love those busy toddlers...

Rachel I hope you enjoyed your glimpse.  I will get all of them in the mail to you soon.  We miss you guys so much, good luck in Florida!

My Boy!

My little Nasharoo turned 1 year old today! I can't believe how much he has grown in the past year...and how fast it has come. He has become our world...we love him so very much and can't imagine our lives with out him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NASH!

Grandma's Girls

This picture is so fun. My mother-in-law raised 5 handsome boys which in return have given her 19 grandchildren 8 of which are these beautiful girls. She expressed to me that she has always wanted a picture with all of her grand-daughters. Here is what we came up with.
My mother-in-law is such a beautiful woman inside and out. I feel very lucky to have such a special women in my life. I know she is loved by all her grandchildren as well. This I am sure will be a treasure to these sweet girls as well.

Trevor + Rachel

Today was a fun day! We were able to spend the day with my in-laws visiting, eating, playing games, and of course snapping pictures. Here are a few of my brother-in-law Trevor and his wife Rachel. Isn't Rachel gorgeous, she is the sweetest person as well....Trevor is alright too....I GUESS! ;) BTW this is the same picture just cropped differently....


There will be more to come of this fun day!

Finally!

Alright Castleton Family they are done!  I am so happy we did these pictures before we moved.  We love your family so much.  Missy you will never know what a blessing you have been in my life.  Thank you for all the meals you brought to us, the talks you had with me, your willingness to watch Nash anything, and being my fitness partner for a while!  You are the greatest.  We will miss your family so very much!  I hope you enjoy your pictures.

Congratulations Aaron on your law school graduation.  We wish you luck on the bar as well as in life!  We love you all!

Together!

These kids are so awesome, my favorite thing is how they interact with each other. It is so cute how they hug, hold each others hands, and play together with out any poking and prodding. You can tell they love each other. All I can say is awesome parenting! Just wait until the next post when you get to see there awesome parents.

Sister

This is my son's little girlfriend.  Yes I know she is a little old for him but SHE IS ADORABLE and she loves "baby Nash" and in return he loves her too.  So what can mother do????  ...This little one is definitely the love of her family, she is feisty against her crazy brothers, and a daddies little princess.  I have over 50 edits of this sweet little sister, here are my top picks...

This bottom one is my #1 favorite, I think it shows her cute personality to a T!  Missy sorry it is taking me so long, I will have them all done soon, and they will be in the mail.  Miss you guys!

Mr. Personality!

Please meet my little buddy! He was hands down my favorite little neighbor...sorry everyone else!  He has so much energy and his personality is hilarious.  Before I had Nash, he and I would take our dogs Lindy and Bug for a walk to the park where he would run them like crazy.  He seriously is the coolest kid!

Handsome Little Man

I had to take a break from my editing so we could find a place to live in Pennsylvania.  Coming back to editing was like coming home again!  Especially when I got to begin on one of my favorite little families.  Here are some of my favorites of this handsome little man...

Doesn't that sweet little smile melt your heart!

Imagination

I have never been one to have a BIG imagination, so at times I think play is silly.  However, being a Special Ed teacher I do realize that children need to be taught to play, and given opportunities to bring out their imagination.  Over the years in Claremont I have had great examples of moms that provide this for their children.  I have a really great friend who to this day loves to go to real life tea-party restaurants...yes they do have those...you can wear the big hats and everything!  I always laughed at her, but then when I shot this princess tea-party I kind of understood the magic that is in this type of play. It really is a chance for a little girl to be dainty and girly!  The environment for this photo shoot wasn't the greatest, it was in really harsh lighting, and there wasn't a lot of room to get great angles, but with all those excuses, I really love how they turned out.

Thanks ReAnn for letting me share in the Princess Birthday Party!
