Is it a little crazy to anyone else that its the very end of July? This year is absolutely flying by! I feel like I was JUST getting excited for the beginning of my 2010 wedding season, and now I’m already hanging out with all my 2011 couples! Aaron and Shelby are getting married next June and I’m sure t hat will be here before I know it too. crazy how that happens! Aaron proposed to Shelby on this bridge on William and Mary’s campus, so it seemed fitting that we start their engagement pictures there :0) We had an absolutely perfect evening, complete with a little breeze and a break from the insane heat! Can’t wait for next June! :0)
This was the exact spot that he proposed! There’s a legend about this bridge that if you kiss someone on the top of it that you will be together forever :0) 
Shelby you are GORGEOUS! 
The light was pretty intense that time of evening, but they agreed to embrace it and let me play around a little bit :0) 
loooove it! 
LOVE these next two! 
definitely my favorite :0)
but this one comes in as a close second…
Happy Thursday!
Bradley was so pitiful :0( but i do love this picture i grabbed real quick of him with Matthew. seriously, best big brother. ever! 
loooooove the baby eyelashes! and chubby cheeks! perfect combination :0)
Kayley was completely fascinated with grabbing onto her dress and getting it into her mouth! its a miracle we got some of her without the dress in front of her face! :0) 
so, eventually we just gave in :0) her little belly is pretty darn cute too :0) 
I laid Kayley on the couch after changing her diaper (thats what they call a full service baby photographer! ;0) ) and she apparently found her comfy spot and start smiling and talkin to everyone.. so cute! 
sweet baby! love his one of her talkin with her mama :0) 
favorite :0) 
after a little bit of motrin Bradley was looking a little bit better, but this was still about as close as he would get to his sister:
Amanda said when Kayley gets tired, she always puts her hands up like this.. needless to say after being woken up, Kayley was dying for a nap by the time we were finished! 
this one could be the favorite.. i love how she is checking out her bracelet! i guess diamonds really are a girls best friend ;0) 
oh you know, just a little bit of dancing :0) 
LOVE these next two! 
huge canvas above your bed?!? i think YES!! :0) 
theeeen things got a little adventurous! they braved the jellyfish infested waters at the end of the session to get a couple fun pictures :0) 
Thanks again for being so awesome! Can’t wait til next April! :0)
oh hey there baby girl! 
all this modeling must be exhausting for a one week old! :0)
It’s always fun for me to watch new moms and dads care for their little ones; typically they’re still trying to figure each other out that first week or two. Not Lauren; she is one of those women who you know was meant to be a mommy. She cares for Olivia like she’s been with her for years already, and you can tell how comfortable and natural it is for her to mother her baby girl. It is so beautiful to see! 
This unprompted moment is definitely my favorite from my time with them :0) Love it!
Lauren is so crafty! She made the letters to hang in Olivia’s room and I love that they’re a little different and they match her room so perfectly :0) 
i think she’s gonna be a daddy’s girl.. what do you think? :0) 
this is Olivia’s milk coma position :0) 
Lauren wanted to get just a few of Livi in the outfit that her mom brought her home from the hospital in! I love when we’re able to incorporate family keepsake items like that into sessions :0) 
I’ll end with another favorite :0) love this one of miss Livi!
Its gonna be a great year! :0) Can’t wait to see the three of you again soon!
They came to stay with me for a few days this summer just like 
my favorite :0)
ones like these next two were more typical though… :0) 
Lauren opted to switch headbands half way through and put the other one on me.. aaand i guess i forgot about it, until i saw these pictures! oops! :0) 
okay seriously, how stinkin CUTE do they look in these outfits!! ah his tie just kills me :0) 
ooh how i love that smile :0) 
love how sammy is winkin at the camera ;0) 
surprisingly i didn’t take nearly as many pictures as I did last summer.. i made a point to do more playing and less picture-taking this year. I did snap a few at the beach though, mainly because I was shocked that Sammy jumped right in with his big sister, were as last summer he would barely get his feet wet! 
there were just a few too many jelly fish floating around, so we opted for some sand castle creations instead! 
I couldn’t resist taking just a few more pictures of them myself since katelyn was the only one behind the camera the first day! 
love my sassy girl :0) 
SUCH a stud!!! 
they truly are best buddies, i love listening to them play together! 
i couldn’t resist posting these next two… :0) 
is it just me or does she look so much older in these last two pictures? i don’t think its hit me that she’s going to be in 1st grade in the fall!
