Miss Maddie and her gorgeous mama, Amanda!

Meet my gorgeous cousin, Amanda and her beautiful daughter Maddie!  I am so excited to share these pictures with you because they just honestly make me smile.  There's no better bond than between a mother and a daughter.  And their connection, love and friendship just beams in every shot.  And Maddie  just LOVED being in front on my camera- and I LOVE that.  We had so much fun!

I'm so so happy for you Amanda and am inspired by how dedicated and passionate you are in everything you do.  Maddie is one lucky little lady to have a mom like you :)  Enjoy!! xoxo mwah!

Cousins make the best of friends!! :)

Hi!   Few... I'm in an editing furry over here.  How is it already more than halfway through November??  I think I said this last holiday season too... but I really need to pause time, "Zach Morris time-out" style!  How do I make that happen??   In the meantime - I'm going to show you these ADORABLE fun loving cousins!

Erin and I have been planning to get her adorable kiddos together with their favorite cousins for a while now, and the date finally came!  We met up on one of the last beautiful fall weather days before it got COLD.   We had so much fun playing around on the beach and of course, throwing around some leaves! Best of both words.  And it's not fall without making some leaf angles if you ask me!   I seriously had a blast and I couldn't possibly find a cuter, more fun group of kids.  They can make silly faces like the best of them!    Without further ado... meet Luke, Meghan, Brendan, Katelyn, Madeleine, and Bella!   xoxo

Pretty lil' Abigail and her adorable smile!

Do you recognize this adorable little face?   No?  Look back here...  Abigail was a natural from the very beginning.   For those newborn pictures, Jen surprised Matt with pictures of their new baby girl.  This time, Abigail brought both of her awesome parents along for the shoot.  And she's STILL a natural!  Look at that little bottom teeth smile!  My favorite kind EVER.  She had recently turned 10 months and is exploring the world.  It was so fun to hear her little giggles as Jen tickled her tummy, or the look in her eyes and she concentrated on crawling toward the next leaf.   I love watching the wonder in a baby's eyes at this age.  Everything is just so exciting and new!   You'll all be seeing more of Abigail soon as I document her first birthday soon enough!

Jen and Matt.. you guys are awesome!  And it was so good to finally meet you, Matt!  The wait is over!   Here's your little peanut!

Abigail was ALL set with putting her 10 month sticker on her pretty dress.   "How bout I just eat it instead??"

Uh oh.... oops!

She thinks it's hilarious!!

Molly and Ethan! And their awesome parents, Gina and Bob :)

Hi Everyone!!   Hope everyone's recovering from their candy comas from last night!  We, unfortunately will be in a candy coma for a long time coming.  Why?  Because we got ONE trick-or-treater last night.   ONE.   That means we are left with an entire bowl of candy that we HAVE to eat.  Can't let perfectly good candy go to waste right??   Thanks... glad we're on the same page.

Now... it's time to show you this absolutely adorable family!  Gina and Bob have two of the cutest kids ever.   Meet Molly and Ethan!  Gina and I have been talking about this shoot for ages and I'm so happy that our original date got rained out.  Because we had the most gorgeous fall day EVER.  And we had so much fun strolling around, playing in the leaves, blowing bubbles!   I say it all the time, but it's always so fun to get to see so many of my coworkers in their every day element with the people they love.  Gina's husband, Bob is absolutely hilarious.  I kinda want him to come to every shoot with me because his ability to make these kiddos laugh in a split second is just awesome.   :)

Ok.. Enough of my yappin'.... here they are!

  Molly's smile is contagious and I think she's on to something here!  We should all stop and take a moment to dance a little like Molly today.

Ethan took a minute to show us his best model pose.   Look out, world!

Some of you may recognize this photo from the other day... but I just LOVE it.   It's always the real life, in between moments that I want to capture.  Perfect.

And as always... I like to take a minute to remind every hard working, loving parent where it all began.

And we'll end with the best fishie face ever.   Love!
