After a week of resting, I AM BACK!  I am running a bit behind, so bear with me while I crank out some goodness here over the next few days.  :)  Be prepared for some blog lovin’ overload!!

I have known Alex since he was probably 4 or 5 years old, but little Alex, is not so little anymore.  He has always been such a sweet kid, and it just amazes me that he is a man now.  Brett and I met up with Alex to do photos and honestly, Senior boy photos make me a bit nervous.  I don’t know why, I guess because I mostly do girls and they are easy to pose….boys just seem harder.  But Alex was great, and we just had FUN the whole time.

We started off with an urban look, and it suited him so well.  He had this amazingly classic “James Dean” kinda feel.

Great smile :-)

I found this doorway and it was love at first sight.

Alex is into the totally rad “parkour”…ever heard of it?  If not, be sure to checkout parkour here and to catch some YouTube parkour goodness as well.  Here’s Alex showing us a couple of moves in a doorway, because there was no where we could find to play!

(Alex reminds me of Jason Bourne in “The Bourne Identity” in these!)

Then we headed out to my parents field which looked super cool right now.

Relaxing in the tall grasses…

Thanks Alex for hangin’ with us!

We wish you all the best in your future.  Take care of yourself, and don’t do any dangerous jumps out there. :)

Well the end of this year has proven to be family session time around here, so here is another beautiful one!  I “met” Heather when she stumbled upon our blog. Heather is a photographer herself in the Northern Kentucky area, so I was super excited when she asked about doing a family session for her! She has a wonderful husband Nate, and a cutie pie little guy named Brayden.  She also has an adorable baby bump and is expecting a new little guy in a couple months.  :)

The day we had lined up for our session turned out to be terribly cold.  Now, I have said this on many of my sessions, but this was THE COLDEST SESSION we have ever been on!  The high was 26 degrees that day! Talk about brave.  But, looking through these images….it was totally worth it.

Brayden is a doll. He arrived with a belly full of PEZ, and an adorable smile.  :)

This photo just makes me SMILE so big.  :)

We had to get a few shots of the precious little baby in the belly.  Heather saw this painting and told us that the nursery is in these types of colors, so it was perfect.

Heather, you look beautiful!

Trying to make Brayden laugh!!! It worked.

If you look down to the right you will see an “N.”  We thought that was cute, because inside the belly is little “Nolan.”   :)

I LOVE THIS!  His expressions were priceless.

And this one too.  :)  I just LOVE IT!

Kisses from big brother.

Then we took some shots of just mom and dad together.  I really loved so many of these that narrowing them down was quite hard.  The light was just perfect that day….(Even though I felt frozen and moving around was even harder!  I had on a coat, gloves, scarf and hat….so really I need to shut up.  They had to be FREEZING, but you would never know!)

A favorite of mine!!  Just beautiful.

Another few shots together….I love that Brayden did this on his own.

And then towards the end, Brayden was goofing around and dancing for us.  :)

Heather, Nate and Brayden…thank you so much for asking us to do a session for your family.  I know we didn’t chit chat a lot because we were all frozen solid  :)  but we really enjoyed our time together and being able to meet your beautiful family (and to Nate’s brother and family too-thanks!).  Best of luck Heather on the end of your pregnancy, and I can’t wait to see what little Nolan looks like when he arrives!
