I love February (though I miss the warm weather) The winter has inspired us to do a lot of different projects around the house. I’m kind of amazed at all that we’ve accomplished since mid December. There are still a lot of things left to do but I’m just amazed at the progress we’ve made in changing a few different rooms around, decluttering toys and closets, etc. Since we aren’t spending our afternoons at the park, there is more time for folding laundry (yay!) and organizing cabinets. (yay! hahahaha)

February is also special to me because it’s my mama’s birthday – she was born on Valentine’s Day. I was born on Monther’s Day (it fell on May 8th the year I was born) and Harrison was born Christmas morning so a lot of holiday birthdays around here!

Oh, and I just had to share these pretty heart shaped flowers that have been brightening up our house (we got some white and pink ones but they also had red – so pretty!) Cyclamen have heart shaped flowers and I just love them around the house in February. We also keep our shells from last summer on the shelf (Owen painted a few, too!) Cannot wait for all the Coastal sessions planned this year! (All holiday weekends have been sold out but if you are planning a trip and would like a session at Holden – contact me for more info!)

A few things to wrap up in February –

* 2014 Image of the Year – Did you see Round Two voting started today? Stop by and vote once a day!

* The First Free Client Event of 2014 – Monday I got to see some sweet smiling faces and looking forward to so many clients on Saturday! I also need to start finalizing all of the other surprises for 2015 clients for the rest of the year – so excited!!!!

Goals for February

* Finish and order my mama’s birthday present

* Finish planning client events for 2015

* I met my goal of 4 miles for January..thinking my running goal for February might be to make it to 5 miles by the end of the month.

* Order our own family 2014 album

* Wrap up the image of the year and announce the finalists!

* Finish painting a prop (and figuring out how I did not paint it right…anyone an expert on glaze and chalk paint?)

Still catching up and sharing sessions from 2014. This was one of those gorgeous days at sunset at one of my favorite locations. (I just love how beautiful this field is at sunset!) And the adorableness of this little one’s curls – just so cute! We were able to capture so many of him, his sweet little personality and happy moments with his Mommy and Daddy. Β I love how some of the wildflowers were blooming in the background, and the one of his daddy throwing him – just so cute! Looking forward to so many 2015 family sessions planned and for the weather to be warm enough for fun family sessions at sunset!

And don’t forget – today is the LAST day to vote for Round One of the 2014 Image of the Year. (Click here to see this year’s entries and to vote!)

I love travel sessions – this one wasn’t too far away, but it’s fun to go somewhere different, and it was so great to meet this sweet family and photograph their precious boys. This was another one of those – so hard to pick between color and black and white sessions, I just loved both. Oh, and big brother was just the sweetest with his baby brother. He also took a nap break during the session and came back for one last photo – too cute! The nice thing about newborn sessions at home is siblings can take a nap, play with their own toys, and are usually super excited to see me and show me their new baby. I love, love, love sessions at home – just so special! And baby brother, he was just so content and let us take so many photos of him. He ended up with a special birthday- so fun to have a December 31st birthday! So many special images from this session – it took me a while to choose which ones to blog – such a sweet family and session!

Don’t forget to vote for the 2014 Image of the Year – Round 1 voting ends soon! Stop by and vote for your favorite 2014 image!

What a sweet Mommy & Me session this was in the studio. This little one was just sooo happy. I couldn’t believe he didn’t sleep on his way to the studio, let his mama dress him, change his clothes again, I think he was also teething, and still stayed happy throughout the session – what a sweetheart. Β First year sessions are always so special – capturing milestones and how they grow and change so fast. (He’s grown up so much since his newborn portraits!) One of my favorite things about photographing newborns is seeing how much they grow and change during the first year! Photos with mama are just so special, and I’m glad I got to photograph these two!

Looking at these reminded me that I didn’t get to blog when I caught up with him in the fall! (The fall was just so super busy and I’m still playing catch up blogging sessions) Just had to share how a few and you can see how he’s grown!
