Timmons Twins Sneaky

These two dolls are getting quite a bit bigger these days and I was once again blessed to get to snap them up. :)

I mean really though, how cute is this family!
This family is amazing. They are generous, caring, so loving and wonderful examples of what it truly means to love like Jesus loves!

This last time I was with The Timmons I took notice of the way they let their kids just be kids. Funny concept right. For me I tend to get so wrapped up in rules and consquences and "acceptable" behaviors that I often forget what it means to just let Seth be what he is. A 3 year old little boy.
Let him talk silly and be loud and bounce around. Let him dump out the entire box of toys because he's looking for that one little matchbox car at the bottom. Who cares! He'll clean it up later, he always does! Let him be a three year old boy because that's what he is!!!

Thanks you Hilary & Tim once again for teaching me something valuable.

Baby Claire Elizabeth Warren

my dear friends Jaime & Josh Warren welcomed their second addition this past week and I could not be happier and more thankful for the safe arrival of Sweet Baby Claire.

Jaime & Josh experienced a tramatic 5 week early delivery with their first child (Cole), and so they were very much looking forward to the idea of having a "normal delivery" with baby # 2.
And while it didn't go exactly as planned Claire's birth was routine and she is healthy and beautiful!
I so enjoy the moments when I'm photographing, watching parents take in their precious gift. So perfect, and tiny, I love watching emotion capture them! Even more then that I love seeing a sibling stare in awe and wonder at this new little person in their family. The Warren's were no exception...

Sweet Baby Claire, I love you already and can't wait to watch you grow! :)

Recent work...

I leave on vacation in two days and to be quite frank, I can't get the smell of the pine tress off my "lake bound" brain.
I would normally be doing individual posts for each of these lovely clients; but each time I begin to type one up I get consumed with thoughts of packing lists, sand toys, life vests, sunscreen and the thought of how long overdue I am for this time of nothing-ness.
A time of stringing together floaty rafts with my sisters and talking about marriage and parenting and what the latest gossip mag we brought with us says.

Nothing like the attempt of undoing tangled fishing line, that, lets be honest, I'm going to give up on and beg Matt for help!

A time of community with great people and true geninue good ol' fashion fun... canoe races, fishing competitions and swims across the lake.

Nothing like the bickering that always comes with setting up a tent with your husband. :)

A time to enjoy the only vacation, that I actually lose weight on because I'm doing so much hiking, wakeboarding, swiming, tubing and just generally active things.

Nothing like the look on Seth's face when he sits in Matt's lap and put his little hands on the stearing wheel, and realizes HE's driving the boat!

A time to create memories, traditions... life. A time of me soaking up every breathtaking second of the most beautiful place on earth with my amazing family.

And so, you see, I can't possibly put together a thoughtful post about anything else but what I spend all year waiting for, my vacation to Shaver Lake!!!

I will however post photos of the current things in my editing pile and inform these amazing clients that their blogs will come soon and I won't forget to give them each their time to shine. :)

Happy Wednesday to Everyone!
LL

the beautiful Otto Wedding...
