For the HP Lovers

And for you Mary Poppins lovers (like me!):

Engaged

I can't share very many from this session but the setting sun over the railroad tracks at our last spot was just so pretty that I had to share a few.  I'm always trying to perfect the art of capturing sun flare.

 

I have a really cool location in mind for any upcoming engagement picts.  It's an old barn with ivy crawling all over it, and then somebody spray painted "I Love You" on the backside.  Perfect!

Easter | My Chickadees

Well I definitely had grand plans for Easter photos and it just didn't happen.  Such a shame too, since I feel like I'm "wasting" all this beautiful photo worthy weather.  But really I'm just enjoying it too much with my little ones to force a photoshoot out of everything.

But at least I got a few snaps on the porch while they were semi-dolled up :)

Robin Eggs and a Tea Party

It was so fun to watch a robin lay her eggs over Easter weekend in a quaint little nest she built in the magnolia tree.

Isn't it beautiful?  At first it just looks like a nest with some eggs.  But when you see it in person, you really marvel at all the work it must have taken momma bird to build her nest, piece by piece, one twig at a time.  How does she engineer it so perfectly round and cozy looking?  And then to make the eggs, phew!  She laid 1 egg per day.  They were the most exquisite shade of blue/green/teal.

This weekend I tagged along with my little girl to a birthday party.  

 

Of course I brought my camera, because my friend is the party queen and always puts on a delicious spread (a few weeks ago she did a LOST themed party for her husband's 30th birthday...it was awesome!).

The girls picked out their ribbons and flowers for their tea party bonnets.

Then they played outside with dad and worked up a good appetite, while mom whipped up their hats with her glue gun and crafty eye.

(yes, this is my daughter trying to escape)

Everything on the table was delish. 

And what a cute birthday girl!

Birthday party favors sure aint what they used to be.
