Leon and Vivian are college sweethearts and are eagerly waiting the arrival of their first child, a sweet little girl!

There were moments when I was photographing Vivian that I was tempted to stop shooting and just marvel at the MIRACLE of new life...It arrests my attention anytime I think about the preciousness of it all, and the mystery of our Creator is completely astounding.

Life is so precious.  May we never take it for granted!

(Here are a few photographs from the many in their session.  I didn't include the more intimate shots, but wanted to post a few from our time outside! :)

Well hey, what do you know...it's my poster kids again! ;)

These two boys have a pretty special place in my heart.  Even though they shoot me with pretend guns. And stab me with light sabers and swords. And tell me "I'm done with my pictures" about half way through.  I just can't help but love them so.

Little boys are the best.  Dirt and exploring and super heros are things that I can totally relate to.  And now that I think of it, all the marriage proposals I've been given up to this point in my life have been from little boys.  I guess because making phenomenal mud pies with someone is a really good test of what true love is. ;)

So...enjoy the sweetness, craziness, and silliness that are wrapped up in these two delightful brothers.
They sure make me smile...

We took on West Chester borough that lovely Saturday morning. Accompanied by cups of hot coffee and cocoa, we strolled through the streets where Jenny & Jeremy had both gone to to University several years ago...

Every corner we turned seemed to draw back sepia memories to their minds, and they told me of places that still remained and some that had regretfully gone.

The kids ran and jumped and explored every nook we came upon. And our eyes feasted on the colors and textures of the trinkets we'd walk by in store windows - wishing they were our own.

It was a morning where we just could enjoy one another and the simplicity of life. And yet somehow those moments remain one of the biggest blessings ever had in this world...





















































































Happy 10th Anniversary!! And wishes for many, many more.
