Some of you have been waiting for this! I am happy to share the second video of preschoolers and their grandparents (+ families). On this particular day, there were many siblings and parents (in addition to grandparents) at the event. Can you believe that ALL of these pictures were taken in the span of 45 minutes? Thanks so much to the fabulous teachers for helping me get a moment with each of the families. You gals are the best!
p.s. reminder: please pause the music in the upper left corner of this blog before starting the slideshow.

Over President’s Day weekend I was lucky enough to get together with my friend, Laurie (the creative talent behind Marili Jean Accessories) and her sweet daughter, Marili. They came for a whirlwind trip from Colorado and I was so happy to get together with them and take pictures of the real Marili (the company is named after her so it was time she finally had her first modeling session). She is the most beautiful girl with rosy cheeks and wide eyes. Just a few pics for now while I work on the others. How cute is this duo?
Laurie, Thank you so much for everything! We were all happy to have you here in AZ and the girls LOVE you. Thanks for giving them so much care and attention (reading book after book, wresting fun, imaginative play, etc). You are the best!
Marili is wearing the newest hats from the MJ spring line in most of these pictures. Here’s the link: www.marilijean.com






the colors in this one below are a bit different (just playing around with a softer/muted look)….





I’ve posted many pictures over the past months featuring the fabulous Marili Jean hat company (scroll down to see more).

This week I am photographing children with their grandparents (and great grandparents) at a local preschool as a special project for Valentine’s day. This video shows just a few pictures from day 1. It is such a joy to see the children interact with their grandparents. What a special relationship it is! Enjoy…
p.s. There is music on this slideshow. Please make sure to pause the music in the top left corner of this blog so that the 2 songs do not play at the same time (just a little annoying).

Another favorite story locked into memory. You can barely see the cute Olivia outfit in this picture — but I’ll post more about that later. In the meantime, check out the Noah and Lilah site to see more details.

Ah, this sweet girl ‘K’!
Check out the mardi gras beads…mom says that she insists on wearing them everyday. Gotta love it when the kiddos know what they like.

J loves the Kissaroo book…and of course she kisses every page with a big smack (Mmmmmm-wah!)
My mom says I used to do the same thing with the Georgy-Porgy nursery rhyme book…’kissed the girls and made them cry‘ was apparently my favorite part.
J is 21 months now and I adore this age. So much personality! The sound of her little voice talking (new words everyday…many of them in her own little language) is the cutest thing EVER. I listen and watch her expressive jibber jabber as she tells stories (so much drama) and I just swoooon. How blessed. Such an amazing gift to be a mama.
