all smiles!

i had two giggly, smily kiddos monday afternoon!  it was fun to play around the arboretum and have the kids pick their favorite spots to pose!  such bright and happy faces!

 

 



 



Centre Elite Gymnastics

busy day yesterday shooting 75 gymnasts!!!  just a small preview, there were A LOT of girls!  so fun to work with girls who were so passionate about their sport and proud of themselves and happy to pose and show off their skills!

junior women's club photo party

i don't know how we did it, but we manage to get through on LONG day of shoots without any rain!  what a great day at the park.  with the clouds and the sun, no two shoots were exactly the same.  i'm so glad i was able to introduce so many families to the back portion of tudek park so they could experience the butterfly gardens and the horses!

 

just strollin' around downtown

what fun this morning taking it to the streets!  we walked around downtown state college for a fun change of pace.  this sweet family came prepared with cookie rewards, and a fun cowboy boot theme!

 

 

this is one of my favs!  i have a feeling this one is going to 'speak' to mom too!  just a day in life and you can't keep a good girl down, or in one place for that matter!

just a boy and his boots  *heart*

growing and growing . . .

this little boy just keeps getting cuter and cuter!  i bet you can't tell that this was NOT his most favorite thing to do today!  poor little guy has his first cold and just couldn't get why he couldn't breath through his nose.  but, mom, dad and i worked as a team, and worked hard to get a few smiles out of him.  well worth it, i'd say!

almost there!  something tells me the next time i see this little bugger i better wear my sneakers!

big brother has a little brother!

i just saw this family a few weeks ago and they were a family of three, and now they're four!!  this is the most awake 2 week old i have ever seen!  don't let this cute little yawn fool you, he didn't nap at all!

 

 

 but look at my hair! it screams rock star!

look ma! he makes a great pillow! LOL! we might need to work on holding brother!

 

my job is too easy . . .

when your subject is a stunner like this there's not much you have to do!  she made it hard to pick a *few* for a sneak peek!  love working with the big kids, we had fun and tried out different things.

 

 

i LOVE this one because she's an easy smiler.  getting a more pensive pose didn't come naturally but she pulls it off!
