birthday cake

mmm, cake. definitely liked smashing it more than he liked eating it. maybe he will be like his dad and not really like cake. not sure why that would surprise me... he is zach's tiny twin. we had a great day celebrating our little man and can't wait for his party saturday!

happy birthday!

just a phone pic from our car ride to school this morning. i know everyone says it - and i know it really has been a year - but i can't believe it. it has flown by and been more amazing than we ever could have imagined. so blessed.

walking at the park

just thought id show off some of his walking skills... big boy turns one on thursday!

p at the park

this was our first weekend to feel like a normal family in months... zach has spent every waking moment over the last few months studying for his professional engineer's test and Friday it was finally here. we have loved having him back...and we are so proud of all the hours of work he put in!












p loved this little peep hole at the park... so fun to see his eyes light up when he looked through and realized he could see us. man we love that little 4 tooth grin.

so pretty!

oh and also, can anyone believe this sweet face is 8 years old?

total debacle

I did the unthinkable. I rented a nice lens to go take pictures of my dear friend's daughter (because my lens is broken)- I went all the way out for a shoot - took 300 shots - and got home to realize that my camera was on Medium resolution. WHAT?!! I shoot on RAW... so MEDIUM is literally the worst, i guess beyond SMALL, thing that it could be set on. Got a few nice pictures of her sweet face... but so little color information to work with. Im fairly sure no one cares about this - but I will never forget the day I drove to Leander and left my camera on Medium. I suppose this is something I will never do again. Thankfully she is quite gracious...

hunter

this is sweet 2 year old hunter. i can't believe in one more year our guy is going to be this big! what fun i was to shoot hunter cruising around, looking for airplanes and 'smelling' bluebonnets. he was quite the charmer...












don't worry mom and bebe - more pictures coming soon of out favorite guy. my lens actually broke and has been sent back... i am currently without a camera.

frazers black and white

sweet louise photography

this hobby is slowly becoming a real thing. more about that when the 'real things' finally happen. i have a lot to learn, but im loving all the practice friends are giving me. these are the frazer kids - bobby and molly. bobby spent his time in our backyard conning his sweet mom into giving him 'gummy gums' if he smiled and molly just cruised around asking kindly to not be disturbed. these are the sweetest kids and susie, their wonder mom, has become my dear friend at school. thanks for letting me chase your kids around my backyard... ill do it again any day.

more bath

i couldnt resist adding 2 more bath pics... he LOVES that wash cloth.
