my babies have been away for 2 days now and I can’t wait to see them tomorrow.  This is the first time they have left me and it was completely against my wishes…My mom was passing through from her vacation and dropped by for some lunch.  She asked to take the kids home with her for a couple days…I said no.  She relentlessly pulled out every card in the bag and in the end I waved fairwell as they pulled out of site.  Yes….I cried, but not till after they were gone because I did not want to freak them out.  I think I have called them 80 times…they are getting tired of me calling and totally pulling attitude on the phone…don’t they know I miss them???  It has been kind of nice though, we had tons to do this weekend to get the house ready for the market on Wednesday…I am so nervous…I want everything to be perfect and that seems impossible.  Did I mention I have poison sumack.  I can roll through poison ivy and not get it, but poison sumack…damn it itches sooooo bad…..it’s all over my legs.  I must wear jeans to all sessions now.  Even if it is 101 degrees.  Anywho, I am very talkative tonight eh???

I did sqeeze in a session this weekend.  This was originally supposed to be my family reunion weekend but it got moved to next weeked.  Luckily someone was able to fill in and that someone was none other than my sweet friend Melissa.  We were in a sorority together and she was seriously the most positive geniune person I have ever met.  It was such a treat to get to see her again and meet her gorgeous family!  Check out these little dudes…they made me work for it….but oh so worth it…

I call this one "Made you Look"

We had an exhausting week and weekend but it was all worth it!  You should see my closets…I don’t think they have ever been this clean…and my living room…not a toy in sight…just the way I like it.  The kids would beg to differ, but we are selling our house and it has to be presentable.  We already found the house we hope to buy and I am just too excited!  I shouldn’t be because I am aware of how these things can go but nonetheless…I am already picking color schemes.  Anyone interested in a 4 bedroom ranch in Saint Peters shoot me an email…

In the midst of all the mayhem I did get to photograph some more sparkling souls…

I adore this shot…the wind blowing her hair, the expression on her face, the shift of her shoulder, the backlighting…just a stunning image.

And these sisters…oh how adorable they were…

They made this shot too easy…

…well, not exactly backyard, but close…I loved this session.  It started a little rocky but then baby K performed beautifully!  I was sweating bullets to tell you the truth.  It was 70 degrees the morning of the session which under any other circumstances was fabulous, especially for July, but given that is was a 3 month session, and a babe with no clothes, I was a wee bit nervous.I promised mom a sneak peek so here she is in all her glory…

Meet Miss K…

The rest are just as gorgeous…Just you wait….
