DOUBLE the pleasure with this session…not only was Mary turning 5, but mom, Melinda, is set to deliver a new addition this summer and it was a perfect opportunity to capture some special photo of baby Jonathan before he arrives! This new little addition is a long time in the making, and OH, so very loved already and I know he will complete this beautiful family! When Melinda contacted me about the session, I was beyond thrilled to hear that they were adding to their family as I knew they had been trying for a while. Mom was just glowing and looks SO very beautiful…what a delight for me to be able to capture and help them document this special time of their lives. And big sister, Mary, is really looking forward to Jonathan’s arrival…she’s planning to do everything for her little brother…which should give mom a chance to get some rest after he arrives! I love the enthusiasm that she has and the pure joy of welcoming a new sibling to their family that Mary has! And, not let’s forget dad, Dave…who will finally have another male in the household to balance it all out! Oh, I can’t wait to capture the next family photos…after they’ve grown by two feet!
Isn’t mom GORGEOUS!!!
A quick shot of Mary in the studio before we headed to the park…what a doll!!!
Their own special garden…just for them…hehehe!
Mary was SO much fun to photograph and she lead the way for the session…choosing where we would shoot and setting up the poses!! I love that she had her own vision for this!
This beautiful blond streak is totally natural and it just adds to her beauty and unique personality…she is a lovely little girl!
The “apple” of her parent’s eyes…she is so excited to share that with her little brother when he arrives!
She sure loves her daddy…and as you can see, he completely adores her…how can you not!!
Mary and Melinda…two beautiful people…daughter and mom and both such delightful people!!!!
The Rose Family…can’t wait to capture the next family photo when it’s just a little bit bigger!
Dave and Melinda…it was such a fun session with all of you and I’m VERY excited about Jon’s arrival this summer…I can only imagine how adorable he will be…with such beautiful parents and the cutest big sister!!
You can most certainly tell these two are related…beautiful momma and beautiful daughter!
Getting both the girls together for some photos…oh, the joy more than doubles!!
Modeling is hard work, you need a snack break every once in a while!!
The day I became a grandmother (aka…Mimi) my life changed more than I could have ever imagined and the love for these two just continues to multiply more than I can say!
Family time…and so happy to get them together for some photos…happy for sunshine!
PEEK-A-BOO
Oh, how she loves riding on her daddy’s shoulder…and he’s even teaching her to give him a head massage…start ’em young!! LOL
A special gift she got last year…this wagon was her daddy’s and friends refinished it and “updated” it for Emma!
SO very loved by her parents…every time I see this, my heart is filled with pride!
Hmmm…are we finished yet?!?
All because two people fell in love…
