Quickest baby session ever!  Austin was so fabulous and cooperative and so stinkin’ adorable we had this session wrapped up in 30 minutes.  Seriously, mom and I just looked at each other like, Well…not much else to do since he was just so awesome! 

It’s hard for kiddos to meet a stranger in the park for the first time and be expected to just turn on those sweet smiles immediately.  Kendall arrived ready to play…I mean that’s what you do at the park, right?  Duh!  Despite being fairly annoyed that some strange lady was clicking a camera at her every move, Kendall was good natured about it.  I just love that 3 year old girl spunk! 

This is an email from my friend Heather that I always keep in my inbox.  I must refer to it every once in awhile when I’m taking myself too seriously.  This is totally US when we were in high school and college.  Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever grow up.  I’m sure my mom wonders that sometimes, too. 

I’m also checking to see if Heather checks my blog…I mean what does she do all day but sit around being pregnant?  Leave me a comment if you share my warped sense of humor and if you can come up with #20, since it’s missing.  It’s a challenge…I dare you.

Several weeks ago my friend Tracy, of Tracy Routh Photography had me help assist and second shoot one of her weddings.  Tracy is so fabulous and gets the most amazing wedding shots, so I was happy to get the chance to work with her.  Here are a few (well maybe more than a few) from Chris and Carrie’s beautiful wedding.

The best part about being a second shooter is that you can keep your eyes out for the unseen moments that occur during the day.  For example, dandelion blowing while waiting to be called into the photos…

or playing the DS while waiting to be called into photos…

or checking out the water well while waiting to be called into photos…

Thank you, Tracy, for letting me be a part of this fun day!

Name that tune.  Can you do it?  Here’s a hint…you can’t visit Walmart, McDonalds, or the grocery store without seeing something marketed towards the hero of this theme song.  My 7 and 3 1/2 year old boys are obsessed…and I mean completely taken by Indiana Jones.  They haven’t even seen the movie, yet they just LOVE this man!  My mom, knowing this, didn’t waste any time purchasing something she knew they’d love for our weekend in Salina.  Check out these mini-Indys…

Two words…thanks mom.

On Friday, I tried to get in a little mini-session with my niece and nephew, Chase and Cole.  Check out these little sweeties…

I just loved this kissing action.

But I don’t think Chase was done…check out that pucker!

After our session, my sister-in-law, Ashley and I took the kiddos to the Smokey Hill River Festival.  First stop face painting.  Last stop Lego tables.

We’ll skip the details of our crazy Friday night.  Thank goodness there are no pictures of THAT!    Have a good week!
