big brother, s. thoughtful and serious this day, but knows how to have fun too!





four beautiful spirits filled with love . . .

baby K :: three months

this sweet cherub is growing WAY too fast and is such a charmer! her facial expressions are to die for. i can't wait to see her personality bloom.

the three sisters

oh these ladies! they embody so much of what I hope to be someday. caring, compassionate, funny . . . love just oozes from them like thick syrup covering everyone they come in contact with.

namesake

sweet baby k has the honor of being named after two very special women in her mommy's life. her sister:



and her aunt:



baby k, you are so dearly loved.

boschma family :: september 2009

boschma family, you have become so dear to my heart. it is such an honor to document your family as you grow and change throughout the year.

my personal favorite:

newborn girl :: 7/25/09

i had the honor of photographing my precious friend and her sweet newborn last week. it was definitely one of the highlights of my summer. thanks j!

baby k was such a joy! she is a very content baby who makes some very silly faces already. i suppose as the youngest of four, she's got to start practicing early.

enjoy!

three

i decided to take our pickle girl's birthday photos while in colorado on vacation--only a couple of weeks late.

this first set we took up scotch creek which feeds into the dolores river.








this second set, I took by poppie's old massey ferguson tractor in the barn.
