sugarpumpkin | mishawaka family photographer

Remember Reagan and Reilly's (my girls) beloved 1st grade teacher from last year? I was so glad that the stars aligned and we were able to pull off the scheduling (and gorgeous weather) to make this session happen. This family is just adorable. Mom kept calling her daughter "sugar" and "pumpkin". Sweet names that definitely describe this sugarpumpkin. I could just eat her up. Those smiley eyes and sweet grin just about do me in...not to mention her quick wit. Thanks, guys. Loved my time spent with you!

Allow me to introduce the baby brother of one of our very own Baby Step graduates. And, actually, they are cousins to the cutie in my last post "i'm smitten". He's got those same beautiful blue eyes and double dimples as big sis. We didn't need to travel far for their session. This is their backyard, folks. It was so fun to see these cute kids! Thanks for spending a bit of the morning with me.

Just look at that cute little pucker.

She had me at hello. It's been one year since I've seen this sweet face. My goodness how she's grown and changed. She was just delightful and the absolute picture of toddler goodness. I mean just look at those cheeks. Love her! And her beautiful parents. I so wish that I had images like these to help remember the connections. Just look at the last picture...be still my heart.

Lucky, lucky me! I know. I spend my days walking around beautiful Fall scenes with cute smiles like these coming my way. Somebody's got to do it! ;) At 9 months old, he's just delightful. Even in sprinkles and windy gusts, he kept right on smiling. Such a charmer.

She is soooo cute! This teeny, tiny little thing is a sitting up champion at 6 months old. No surprise here, though. At her 3 month session, she was practically doing crunches trying to sit herself up. I've said it before, 6 month sessions are so fun when the babies are sitting up.

Campus was in all of it's Fall glory. Colorful leaves still clinging to the trees. And crunchy ones beneath our feet. Baby girl with her auburn hair and dark pink tights fit right in.

Just look at that perfect little pout. She's a beauty, M &C. Thanks so much!

Wednesday I had the pleasure of revisting this fabulous family. They were one of my early families back in wintry, cold December 2008. I like to think I've come a long way since then, and they certainly have. The kids are just as cute as can be and they've added to their numbers. Instead of crunchy-cold snow on the ground, we were surrounded by crunch leaves.

Friends, please look at this sweet girl's smile. Her and her big brother definitely have the soft, sweet smile down. I could just photograph them all day long. I'm sure they'd rather be doing other fun things, but my camera loved them.

Thanks so much, family. I had a wonderful time in your backyard!

This good-lookin' family certainly has a lot of fans. And you can count me at the top of the list. It's always a treat to work with them and Sunday afternoon was no exception. They looked great! And the weather could not have been better.

Help me wish a very Happy Birthday to the youngest and the oldest (boys) in the group today. Hope it's a great one!

cause you've got personality | granger family photographer

These two kidlets have got personality with a capital "P"! We met up last Friday evening for our walk around the park. I was so excited to see these guys again. Because #1 these kids are CUTE. And #2 these kids are CUTE. And #3 I wanted to see how they had grown this past year. #4 These parents are just plain kind and COOL. Cute, Kind and Cool one of my favorite combinations.
