Hey guys! How are you enjoying the weather this week?!?! I LOVE IT!! It almost gives me hope Spring really IS coming, hehe!!! Soooo, last week I had this super GREAT family come into to the studio and as I was shooting I knew I would love SO many, and boy was I right! They have such a great spirit and plus they are ALL adorable so yeah that makes for some really great pics! I know I will have many more favorites as I get to proof them but for now here are just a few total keepers!
I also HAVE to post this one, because It realllllly cracks me up! This was about 80% thru the session and the little ones had been doing SO GREAT, but by this point you can totally tell just how *bored* they had gotten, hehehehe!!!
Isn’t that the funniest?!?! They are just thrilled, HAHAHA!! I loved it, I had to show it – I hope it makes you smile like it does me, LOL! ;) Dont worry I have them lollipop’s for being such troopers for me, they really worked hard!!
I cant wait to proof the whole session, soooooooooooooo many great shots!!
You guys enjoy the upcoming weekend, I have the WHOLE weekend off because its my BABY SHOWER!!! Hurrayyyyyy!! I’m quite excited about it – it will be so nice to have some baby focus time since he will be arriving just next month!!!!

Hey everyone!!! How have you all been?! GREAT I hope!! I’m a little ( okay a LOT) sick of winter but other than that, pretty good. Baby Matthew is growing like a weed, and everyday I wish he was here more & more so I could hold him! Only 7 more weeks now! …We had sad news and happy news to share…Sad news is my grandma who is a wonderful person passed away last week. It was really hard, but knowing she is with the Lord makes it easier for my mind to wrap around. Dealing with that has been hard so Im trying to celebrate all of the good things to help me…and a good thing is we are moving the studio to a bigger location soon!! We get the keys March 1st, and are hoping to be moved in before April 1st just in case Matthew Joshua decides to come early! …It’s just down the block from where we are now, so not far – butmuch bigger spot and we are THRILLED! I cant wait for you guys to see it 
This is the part where I am reminded that my job is truly wonderful and I am SO blessed! After my rough week, Sunday I got to take pics of the most ADORABLE little boy and his massive sparkling blue eyes just stole my heart!! I really *needed* that session…babies are like little peices of Heaven for me, the session came at the perfect time ♥ ….So I hope you guys enjoy baby “N” as much as I did – he sure brightened my day.
Had to leave this one big {heart}…he’s a dreamboat
Yep, he made my day

Hi Everyone!!
So today I have Miss “M”!!! She’s completely adorable!!! If you have been watching my blog for a few years you may very well think ” Um, I have seen her before” because I took her big sisters First Year and let me tell you – they sure do look SO much alike at this age!!!!! I couldnt get over it!!! They have thier differences, but soooooooo similar!!! …Since her sister is amazingly beautiful, it’s even more of a compliment!!!
I love, love , love when they come in to see me!!! She is the happiest little thing too – look how smilie she is? She was so content – such a delight to photograph, like always ♥
Hope you guys have a wonderful day!!
xoxo ♥Shellie (& baby Matthew!)

Hey everyone!
Well, Thanks to no power last week, of course now I’m behind again with sneak-peeks which makes me SAD since I finally got caught up!! I know I have no control over it – I wish that eased my “control-freak” mind, but its doesn’t, haha. I’m going to try and get re-caught up again this week.
THIS is Miss “Z” and I haven’t seen her in about a year and OH MY GOSH she she get so big!!!! And her curly hair??? *swoon* She’s SO adorable, I missed her!!! Now she’s a crazy wild 2 year old and I loved every moment!!!! I remember when she was just a few weeks old *tear* SOOOO good to see her so grown up and amazing ♥ Here are a few from her session – you can all see just how CUTE she is!!!!
Seeeeeee, I wouldnt lie!! She’s a princess, isnt she?!?!?!?!! Love her!!! I still can see her little newborn face, even if she is a big girl now
I’m off to bed soon to rest my sleepy almost 7 months pregnant body, but at least I leave you with cuteness to enjoy for a couple days before the next Peek!! Have a wonderful week everyone!!!

Hey everyone – Just a quick update, we are having a power outage due to the ice & wind from Wedneday, It’s been 42 hours of no power or internet! SO in turn, no proofing, ordering, or blogging has gotten done, so you can expect some delays *sigh* (I’m quite bummed)
Bless my sister, Im using her internet today on my laptop or this little update wouldnt be possible!!
Please pray everything is back online today and life can get back to normal. Thanks for your patience!!!

Last peek of the day!
This is baby “A” ….oh how I love him! His mommy and daddy are super great and I love when they come in!!! We of course had a great time at the session and of course got great shots of Mr. Cutie-face, too!!! He’s so cuddly and snuggly, I just love holding him!!! I cant wait to see him for our next session when he can sit all by himself – he is SO strong, I’m going to guess he will be a “fast sitter” too, I just feel it!!
So enough talk lets get to his pics!!! Here are a few keepers, the boy is such a HAM, I loved his laugh-smile, it’s the bestest!!!!! SUCH A STUD MUFFIN!!!
I {big puffy heart} him, hehehehehe!!!
Have a good day everyone!!!!!!!

Hey guys!
SO, here is Miss “R” – she’s sitting up already!!!! It seem slike just last week we did her newborn session – time flies far to quickly!!! WAIT until you see her – she is ADORABLE!!! I loved SO many becuase she did an amazing job at her session that it was VERY hard to narrow it down for a peek!!! I could have posted 10 more easily – eeeeeks!!!
I have quite a few sneak-peeks to get up this week, I should have one everyday and 2 peeks one day!!! This coming weekend (Jan 22-25) the studio is closed - so Im hoping the following week to get some of my favorite fall sessions posted for you guys to see! BUT until then, here is petite little R in all of her glory!!!! ENJOY!!!!!
Everything is going wonderfully – I’m feeling great, baby Matthew is growing like a weed and is a kick-happy baby! We couldnt be more excited!
You guys have a great day, and I will post tomorrow!!!
