We added lollipops adorned with layered cupcake wrappers that were left over from our baking session. I hope you all have a very Happy Valentine’s Day.

This session is one of my favorites from last fall. The light that time of year is truly magical and this day was no exception. I have been asked if I enjoy working with older children and the answer is an adamant YES!! Children between the ages of 7-12 are usually eager to be photographed and easy to work with. Once they feel at ease with you the rest is effortless and fun. Take a peek at these gorgeous siblings.










Well, its official-I am now the mother of two teenagers! (Help me…) My sweet Colton actually turned 13 last September. I took his birthday session photos and I did not get around to editing and blogging them during the crazy holidays.
If you aren’t familiar with Colton’s story you can click here and read my past posts. We are so very proud of him and his accomplishments. He is a very driven little boy and we know the future holds great things for him. A friend recently described Colton as a “future Bill Gates”. Maybe he won’t be the next Steve Jobs, but he is certainly an innovative thinker.
If any of you reading have a child who was recently diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, I know how hard and scary those early days are. I hope that Colton’s success will encourage you. These children are special, and I wouldn’t change Colton for the world.
