I always love to look of textures, but wasn't ever *really* happy with the way they looked on my photos. Soo here are my latest attempts.

yay! I think that we can officially say that Miss Ava is finally walking :) :)
It started as three steps...then 6, and now she can make across the living room and well...everywhere. yay :) I know Aiden will be any day now too.

I took this pics of Ava at the park the other day, and just now got around to editing.
<3 my little miss ava :)

Prettttty girl.

I just love how she is relaxin' by the tree... :)


It was so cute...we were playing peek a boo!

Looks like she isn't so sure about moving at the moment...

LOVE LOVE LOVE !! I can't believe how big she is...

but...she still moves faster if she crawls

I have some new and exciting news for the blog/lg perspectives :) hmm...where to start. Ok, firstly, it's been a while since I did a post that is more about me/lg perspectives, than it is about photos. This past year has been soo wonderful for me. I honestly have to say that last year at this time, I never would have even guessed I would be where I am right now. I *hope* things keep moving in this direction. I have met so many awesome/fab people, I don't even know how to thank you all for your support and encouragement.
Another thing I've noticed is that some of you are probably thinking that I have yet to put a face with this name...so here you go. Linds and I did a photo shoot last weekend and got some updated pics of eachother. So thanks Linds - she took the photos of me :)

Although I am doing exactly what I want to do, and am loving it, it's kinda crazy/hectic at times. As most of you who follow this blog know, Lindsey helps me all the time with photoshoots, decor and well..pretty much everything. So I am really super excited to say that she is officially part of lg perspectives :) :) SOOO, welcome Lindsey!





Some of you who follow my blog and/or have met Lindsey on photo shoots already know she is just as silly/goofy/dorky as I am, but here is some info that maybe you didn't know.




Soo, are you wondering what Lindsey will be doing here at Lg? Lindsey already comes to lots of my photo shoots. So obv. she is going to continue that. But she is also going to be helping lots with Lifestyle Sessions. She has such a creative eye, and is really great with putting together details. We have so much fun when we work together :) Another reason that I am excited to have Lindsey as part of my teams is b/c she loves making invites, announcements and more. As some of you may know, lg perspectives offers custom invites, announcements, cards ect. Lindsey is going to helping me out in this area as well :)
Lindsey is also stepping into the world of photography with me :) I know..how fun is that? yay!!



So now when you book lg perspectives, you can look forward to seeing both of our goofy selves. We believe that your photo shoot should be fun, exciting, playful and just overall RELAXING.
Soo on that note. Here is the new team of Lg Perspectives :)

love him...hope you all had a wonderful weekend ;)

After some less than encouraging things that happened today, I decided I just needed to get out of the house and check out the beach with Benny Boy...and the weather?? Just like my mood - thunderstormy....but luckily I had Ben there with me, I am pretty sure this little guy can put a smile on anyone's face, no matter what their mood.
<3 my Benny Boy soooooo much :)
p.s - love his little orange pop mustache! hehe

Today was a watermelon type of day...I guess, I'm not sure what made it a watermelon day considering it actually wasn't THAT hot outside. ha! Oh, I know why it was...Ben and I went grocery shopping last night and he insisted that he get to pick out the best watermelon, and so he did. I cut it up today and gave him a HUGE piece...it was honestly gone in about 2 minutes. I think he would eat watermelon all day if I let him, he loves it soo much. Here are a couple of my cutie pie!

Love this last one, I think it's funny the way he is looking at the watermelon. and look..Jeff is mowing the lawn too :)

oh I know, another personal post, of my kids! Here is my littlest man, Aiden. He is such little poser, honestly we were outside for a total of like 5 minutes, and I got all the shots I needed :) I love taking photos of my kids for so many reasons: #1 - I only have to please ME! #2 - I can do them right in my own backyard #3 - It gives me time to play around with my camera and practice, when working with a client I get nervous to try new things b/c I don't want to mess up their photos! Whereas when I am shooting pics of my own kids, guess what? I can delete them ALL if I don't like them (which most times ISN'T the case!). Anyway, here is my little man, his hair is growing in like a mohawk, it's honestly getting long and think ONLY in the middle :) So why not just embrace it!

I am so excited about the next couple of months, lots of photo shoots! So I am taking this time right now to KEEP practicing!! Plus I have a feeling that I'm not going to have lots of time in the next couple of months to take photos of MY kids, so I'm doing it now. I really love these pics of miss ava. Believe it or not she is almost always smiling...until I take the camera out!!! Even though I didn't really catch her smiles I still love these.

I am getting really excited for this spring. I have three weddings coming up, e-pics, family pics, childrens pics and senior pics ;) Anyway, I am so excited so of course I thought I'd better get out there and work on some things. I am SOOO in love with sun flare photos :) and although I love them so much I have NOT mastered them at all! So tonight I just went out with Ben (now that I look at these pics I realized I should have changed his clothes and combed his hair) and practiced! I got a couple that I really liked, and the rest...well I am a work in progress :) Here are my best shots from tonight :)

ok, that last one didn't have anything to do with sun, just a snappy of my benny boy playing on the swing. <3 him!
