Spring Portraits in the Flowering Fruit Trees

May 6, 2018

What a beautiful weekend. All of our flowering trees are in full bloom and since I can't resist photographing flowers and my kids, it seemed like a good time to do both. I know they won't put up with my crap for long, so after dinner and bath, and right before bed so they felt like they were getting to stay up later, we went out and took a few photos by the plum and peach trees.

Lots of silly faces from Julie but still some good ones. A couple serious faces from Laina but some smiles too. I love spring and my girls!

^Peach tree :)

^My pretty Big Girl.

^My favorite tree in the yard! The red bud looks the best I have seen it in years too!

Pre-Tulip Time

May 4, 2018

I love Tulip Time in Holland, but not the crowds. The last two years, we went BEFORE the festival actually started and this year, though we were in downtown Holland, it was pleasantly not busy though we got to enjoy the tulips just fine. Dinner was even easy to get! Mike and Lenore came with us, and Mike made it even after work so we had a good time! We were out a little late (and Julie did break a couple tulips) but a lovely evening.

^The first flowers we saw were bird or squirrel planted ;)




^Soon after, she tripped into this flower bed and broke a couple... oops!





^Goofy ladies.



^Laina and Grandma Nore


^Holding hands.






^These sillies kept running around and around and around me (and around and around...)

^Close-up Lu.




^We met a few nice doggies... Michy and Maud.

Spring Mini Session Portraits

April 24, 2018

Even though I love taking photos of the girls, it's fun to get someone else's take on it occasinonally. Kind of last minute, I decided to take them to Pamela Fallon (who did both of their newborn photos), for her spring mini sessions. I loved the set up and she had added a few dates. The girls were both really good and even though the session was only 10/15 minutes long, we got some very cute shots!

^Such a sweet Lu!



^Jules being precious.

^And a goose :)

^Looking so well behaved!

^Little loves.
