Michelle & Dave – Engagement

Where to start with Michelle and Dave? They are such a loving couple and I probably spent the entire session just cracking up. They are just both amazingly vibrant, fun, loving, and kind. They are beyond perfect for each other and it’s completely obvious.

Very beautiful shoot. I love the last one and the one where he’s giving her a piggy back ride. :)

All kinds of hurts…

My baby is a crazy man. He is only 10 months old (in 6 days) and he is a crazy man. CRAZY.
I think he wants to grow up to be a stunt man.
You know… he’s totally going to be one of those guys who like, sets himself on fire and gets shot from a cannon...

My baby is constantly beating me up! I have like 5 scratches on my face, and several others elsewhere. aej. Definitely an adventure, having a boy!

My two boys just love to jump off flights of stairs. Nice, huh? Sam’s been doing it since he was 2ish and now has Bani, his almost-3-yr old little brother doing it too. So far no major injuries, thank you God. But yes, my expirience with my daughter has been very different. No dare-devil stunts that I can recall.
And, Oh My Gosh, Jude’s face in this picture just says it all… “Just wait ’til you see what I’m gonna try next Mom!” Yes, this is not for the faint of heart. :)

Oh do I ever love this picture of Jude! Reminds me of Sean when he had those moments – better watch out Mommy! I’m up to something.
