A little more than a “preview” | bloomington nomral child photographer

Its true.  This is a situation where I started proofing, and I just couldn’t stop.  Of course, there are a few more surprises, but…. these are my favorites.  Yep, all of them are my favorites.  I realize by definition, favorite implies one or a very few that you love better than all the rest, and for this session, this *is* my “one or two”.  ;)

I absolutely love the Owens family.  Their girls are just *so* much fun, and their little personalities are so distinct its adorable.  The oldest Is definitely Miss Responsible.  Never causing any major trouble, and will stay busy helping her mom and dad keep an eye on Miss Michevious, the middle one.  This little girl will not succumb to Middle Child Syndrome.  She will be too busy giving her parents mini heart attacks.  ;)  And the littlest one, is the little pixie of the family.  She will be independent and sweet and I predict she will be soemthing of an artist.  ;)  I adore them all and so look forward to their sessions when their momma calls.

Happy Sunday and enjoy your preview, Owens family!

Midsummer Night’s Dream | Bloomington Normal Child Photographer

Seriously.  Lets imagine a perfect day at work:

a) doing something you love

b) working outside in perfect weather.  perfect.

c) a happy little client and a fun big client willing to try anything that brings adorable clothes

d) along with the perfect weather, comes the perfect light.

Sounds like a dream, right?  Right.  That was me, last night.  Seyller is one of my favorite little guys to work with.  He is so cute and his session inevitably becomes one of my “favorites” of the year each year.  He couldn’t have been cuter, or happier last night.  It was so. much. fun.  If I can’t be hanging out with my two cuties, this guy comes in a close second.;)

Kyle- I know your “preview” is huge, but I promise there are lots more to see as surprises!  I just *couldn’t* narrow it down.  Thanks for coming out last night!!

My Friend Sara | Bloomington Normal Photographer

This is my beautiful, funny and insanely smart friend, Sara.  She was my college roommate.  We both met our future-hubbys around the same time (isn’t that funny?).  We lost touch for a few years after college and by the time we reconnected, I already had Molly and was pregnant with Lucy.  Sara and her hubby, Justin have been a *huge* part of our lives for the last year and a half.  Molly calls Sara “my Sara” and if we mention that Sara is coming over for dinner she is quick to say ” Sara AND Justin!”  She is completely enamored with them, and is going to be crushed when they move away from us at the end of the month, to the middle of the country, never to return.  (Okay, maybe I am being melodramatic- its only 30 minutes.  But it feels like a million miles since they live within walking distance to us now!)

Isn’t she completely stunning?!

… and this is *my* sara:)

Leandra - Wow – she is gorgeous! She looks so fun and full of life in all of these. Did you pick out her clothes or do you have super stylish friends too?June 22, 2010 – 4:52 am

Angela - STUNNING! Love the last one, she seems really fun!June 22, 2010 – 4:53 am

Kati - lindsay these rock! Looks like such a fun time you girls had!June 22, 2010 – 3:29 pm

tina - Awesome!!! What a great idea for you two to have some time together. This makes me want to have you do some pics of me, so my kids have something to remember me by than just the lady with the camera in front of her face:)June 22, 2010 – 5:26 pm
