Vacation

  Well, we finally went on vacation. We took our little man to Gatlinburg to experience Dollywood and the aquarium. We didn't really do much else that was noteworthy. I think I ended up taking nearly 600 pictures in a week, and several videos.
  Andrew is 23 months old now and aside from this being his first experience with an amusement park, he had a few other firsts on this vacation: first ice cream cone, first sip of sprite, first cheeseburger, first sip of Mountain Dew (ugh!), and first time seeing a real train, and first time ever to fall asleep in the stroller.
   Here are some of the highlights from our trip:

Sweet Caroline

I couldn't resist... I get that song stuck in my head when I look at her pictures.  This little lady was so good for her session. The parents picked out a few of my suggestions and she just rolled with the changes. She'd fuss a bit, but calm down easily. Enjoy the highlights:

Baby Jillian is One!

Just over a year ago I photographed the labor and birth of this beautiful baby girl named Jillian. Then I had the privilege of taking newborn portraits of her, and again at the four and eight months marks. Now she is one! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by.  She is a sweet little girl and so beautiful, although she wouldn't quite do what we were trying to get her to do and was distracted by her cousin, we still got a handful of cute pictures.
