He keeps us laughing...

Jake: "Mom...I want a bowl of cereal."
Me: "Jake..how can you be hungry? I just finished dinner dishes."
Jake: "I'm still hungry."
Me: "Which cereal do you want?"
Jake: "snap, crap, and roll"

I'm sure you've guessed it...Rice Krispies. I think I laughed for 10 minutes.

I picked up two of the cutest cakes to save for cake smash sessions.  I grab mini cakes when I see them and keep them in the freezer. I must do another girl session soon! I walked up to the Walmart bakery, and the cake decorator was working on this.

 I payed more than I usually do for mini cakes...but I had to have it!  Then I saw this one:

I'm not sure if I'll use the burger cake for a smash. I might take it out for Jake's birthday. I couldn't resist adding it to my cart.

Em brought Ben to the studio for a few shots. He only had eyes for his momma...the way it should be.

I have a few other shots I love that I will share later. I'm working on something very special with them.

The studio has been a busy place filled with cute, cute kids!

This cutie is the youngest of 5. They were amazingly well behaved in the studio. 5 kids is a lot for my small space.  I was so impressed! I'll share more soon.

I love when moms bring props.

This little one is only 4 months old...but so strong!

I have a great before and after to share from the shoot.  I like to get great images straight out of my camera (SOOC)...who doesn't. It saves a lot of time!  However...sometimes work is needed. In this case a lot of work was needed. I didn't have enough backdrop, and the image was much darker than I like.

Here it is SOOC:

Here it is after I was finished "playing" with it.

The "playing" part is so much fun! :)

Here are a few more from Tiffany and John's wedding shoot.

Quick announcement (copied from Facebook for those who didn't see it):

Hey friends! Thanks for a wonderfully crazy spring! I've decided to take July off...just like last year. We need some summer family time. :) I still have some limited weekday availability for the rest of June. I'm booking August, September, and October now. Let me know if you want a shoot before school starts or if you want to be on my fall schedule. (The above message does not apply for my new mommies! I'll meet those babies whenever you are ready!)
