Irish Dancer {a year later}

Dance as if no one is watching,

Sing as if no one is listening, and

 Live everyday as it were your last.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Two of the.CUTEST lil' Irish sweeties I know! 

Brightened up the original and crisped up the details using the action Picture Perfect from one of my favorite photography blogs, The CoffeShop Blog. 

more to come from my lil' leperchaun's 4th bday/St. Paddy's Day bash!

i heart faces photo challenge {black&white}




Over at the AMAZING site, i heart faces, the March photo challenge is black and white. Here is my entry.

I love the innocence of it,
the timeless quality it holds.
Since Aiden is deaf and does not wear his cochlear implants while sleeping,
I (try to) wake him in the mornings by opening his blinds and letting the light shine in.
This specific day, the morning sun was especially bright,
and his recently adopted bunny "Hoppy" (from his 15 year old brother's younger days)
was still right there beside him.
who could resist this shot?

hats.

{WINTER} hats.

add so much character

to a picture 

this time of year.

i love them.

Brothers {Powell Children's Photographer}

not two, not three, but FOUR. These four brothers were my first clients that I had never actually met. I was so nervous. FOUR boys. FOUR boys I didn't know. Four girls wouldn't have made me half as nervous, girls LOVE getting their picture taken, typically love to impress, and no offense to any boy, but boys LOVE to, you know, be boys. I know, I have two myself plus 11 nephews.

Needless to say, I had SO much fun on this shoot! I loved how they were themselves, continuously messed with one another, and how I was able to capture THEM. These boys were so respectful, so fun to play around with, and so willing to smile for the camera. It was a little awkward at first, but once we connected we had fun. The whole while I edited their photos, I smiled. Every time I see their pictures, I smile. cuteness x4.

LOVE it.

It was hard for me to choose my favorites, but here are a select few (or a few more than a few).

 Thank you boys for such a wonderful time!
