Happy Birthday Ryan!

Sweet Ryan turned 2 this spring and what better way to celebrate than to have pictures taken at the zoo!  Throw in some balloons and you've got a very fun photo session!

Mom & Dad got to have fun too with feeding the giraffees!

LOVE this sweet smile and dimple!  Watch out ladies, we've got a heartbreaker in the making!

Lovely day, lovely family and fun boy who it set and ready for all being "2" has to offer! 

Happy Birthday Ryan!

Ashlynn turns 18 months!

I can hardly believe that Ashlynn is 18 months old! She continues to grow into such a beautiful little girl. It's crazy to see how she has definitely lost that "baby" look and is ALL toddler!

This time we met up at one of my favorite local parks. This really gave us a chance to catch those fun toddler expressions and happiness.

Gotta capture the family - such a wonderful family too!

Although this one is slightly off focus on her face, I still love it, the expression is priceless!

Sweet toddler fun.

Kraft Family

I had the pleasure of meeting the Kraft family through mom, Ann-Marie. Ann-Marie is the Chairwoman of a church Mom's Group that holds monthly cafe nights that I try to attend. She is by far one of the sweetest and most genuine people I've met. Her boys are no exception. We met out at my usual favorite, Fresno State, and I got the chance to remember what fun 2 year old boys can be!

Colson sure kept me on my toes! He's all boy and loves an adventure!

Gotta love fruit snacks! When photographing youngsters they can be a life saver! Thanks Ann-Marie for being so prepared!

Isn't he such a handsome little guy?

Can you believe these two just celebrated their 8 year anniversary!

Lots of love to go around - which will be extra special when Colson becomes a big brother in December!

Thank you Ann-Marie, Danny & Colson, it truly was my pleasure spending time with you all. I hope you enjoy the preview. I hope to have the full set up for your viewing pleasure within the next day or so.

Alyssa turns 2!

Alyssa is a typical lively (just turned) 2 year old. She's independent, makes adorable "cheese" faces, and has everyone appropriately wrapped around her finger. And with a sweet little face like hers who could resist.

About a month ago, I met up with her and her parents to take a couple quick pictures of her in a special velvet dress that a dear relative had given her.

Then almost 2 weeks ago I met with just Alyssa & her mom at one of their favorite hangouts. Alyssa was not shy about giving me a guided tour of her favorite features especially the water fountain.

Although it was her first jaunt into this particular shoe store, Alyssa, was not shy at all and found herself right at home with all the pretty shoes. I think Mom & Dad better watch out for those shoe bills down the road! She did a great job of charming the sales clerk, not to mention all people we passed walking around the shopping center.

Oh and by the way, she's a great little dancer!

Thank you, Miss Alyssa, for being a good sport for our picture session! I hope you had a wonderful 2nd birthday!
