My Models!

Finally! Here they are! A preview of my little models. Let me start by saying how AWESOME these kids were. We had a great time and got some really fun shots. I am so pleased with how they turned out. These kids were such great sports and so darn cute. I loved every minute of it! A big thanks to all of you who responed to my model ad. I wish I could have used everyone! I would like to do this again in the future so keep checking back!

The B Family

Oh, the B family! Where do I start other than I just LOVE you guys. You are so much fun. Here is a sneak peak from our session!

The C Family Grandkids

The C family had two grand babies born on the same day! What are the odds?! One boy and one girl. We had a fun morning taking pictures of the babies and their older siblings. Cute kids!

Could this little guy be any cuter? Seriously!!!

Don't Forget!

Baby L Blessing

My niece, baby L, is such a doll. We had a quick session tonight with her in her blessing dress. She had a long day so was very sleepy. Here's a sneak preview from our session!

This last one is my favorite!

Sweet Baby L

Baby L is 13 days old. So sweet! I enjoyed every minute of our session. Here is a preview for her mom. Thanks for letting me wreck your house!

I can't decide which I like more...black and white or color.

DIY MEMORY GAME

This one is for all you DIY Project warriors. I saw this idea on someone else's blog and totally high-jacked it! If it was your blog...thanks! Every now and then I like to get a little crafty but I too often get in over my head. This project, however, was so easy. It's a memory matching game for your kiddos (or yourself, whichever!). I love it because it's a quiet game. I'm so tired of the noisy toys! Anyone else? My 3 year old and I have been playing this all morning. He LOVES it! Score! Check it out! I made two. One for a boy and one for a girl.




What you will need:
16-square wooden pieces. Mine were 3"x3" (.39/ea at Roberts Crafts)
8-different scrapbook papers (2 squares from each paper)...perfect way to use up your scraps.
1-12x12 paper for the front in a plain pattern.
Mod Podge
Brush
paper cutter/scissors

How To:
Cut papers into 3x3 squares.
Brush a thin layer of Mod Podge onto the wood.
Place paper on wood. Smooth out bubbles and press down edges.
Let dry and repeat on the other side.
Let it dry completely.
Sand edges for a smooth finish.
You can mod podge over the paper if you wish. I opted not to.
Start to finish: 30-45 minutes

Vwalla! There you have it. So fun and easy. They make great gifts too! Wrap a ribbon around it and give it to that no so crafty friend who would totally appreciate it!

The C Twins

Two-year old twins! The maddness! I love it! These boys are so darn cute and FULL of energy. I am amazed at how their mom keeps up with them and their 3 year old big sister. Jen...you are my hero!

My Little Cowgirl!

Okay...SERIOUSLY! I couldn't resist sharing these. I cannot get enough of Callie's chubby little legs in these boots! It just makes me smile. I found these boots at the local ranch store, so naturally, I had to buy them. They are darling. Well, see for yourself!
