Toothless smiles

Something special I do for each of my boys is have Melissa photograph them on their own when they have lost their front, top teeth. There is something so endearing about those toothless smiles-and before you know it, those big, gawky looking grown up teeth grow in and that toothless grin is gone forever (unless you play hockey and as a hockey mom, I hope that never happens around here!) Blake, my middle son, is almost 8 and has been anxiously awaiting these two teeth to fall out (it may have to do with the tooth fairy leaving a little more for the top front teeth!) As soon as it happened, he had his own session with Melissa where he got to choose his outfits and props (football uniform, pajamas and a stuffed animal). These images have joined his older brother's toothless images in a beautiful image box we keep in the family for all to marvel at! It is a special keepsake we will cherish forever (thanks Melissa!)

Brotherly love

Ben and Sam. You can't much cuter than these two. Just knowing this family makes us smile. Sam, the big brother at almost 4 years of age, and Ben, age 6 months, came in recently for Ben's 6 month session. Both boys were full of smiles and giggles. Of course, Sam is a pro at these photo sessions and likes "show" Ben how it is done. And you can tell already that Ben is going to want to do everything his big brother does! The session wouldn't be complete with a few images in the most adorable "Benjamin" hat that mom brought to the session-simply perfect! These are moments to cherish forever!

Blitz and his family!

This great family was made complete with the addition of their gorgeous German Shepard, Blitz when he joined their crew a couple of years ago as a pup. So of course, it was time for a new family portrait! It was lovely for us to see Sophie and Grace interact as sisters with such love and as fun spirits (we loved the dangly earrings, Grace!!) However, it was Blitz who stole the show that morning-whether it was giving slobbery kisses or leaping through the air, he kept everyone laughing! We can easily see what a wonderful addition he makes to a fabulous family!
