Benefits

One of the benefits of my job is that I get to meet many new people. I came across the Knights, by donating a gift certificate to a Breast Cancer silent auction benefit. Boy, am I glad they won the bid! Three, adorable, action-filled kids with bounding smiles was enough to make the donation worth it. I'm already looking forward to seeing them again.

An Apple a Day

The Montgomery girls love apples. They were crazy about them last fall when I saw them. And just like a tractor beam, another tree with red, juicy apples, sucked them in this year. Lainey was quick to pull one off, lick it (to clean it of course!), and devour it. I think she may have taken one for the ride home too. As for her little sister Jesa, most of her time was spent peeling off red peeling with her teeth and spitting it out. Her mom says she finds them all over the house when she's given an apple. Better than a Snicker's wrapper, right? :)

Down-Home Goodness

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing my day with the Bremerman family was. Fun and laughter is always in the Bremerman's schedule, so going into the shoot I knew I'd be in for some entertainment. While taking pictures of the whole group, I asked Rollie to kiss his wife, Faye. He said to me, "You know that's how this whole thing started," turning and pointing at his 6 beautiful daughters, their spouses, and 16 grandkids. They have built a strong family with beaming personalities. It was great to be with such a loving family.

After pictures, Grandpa Rollie put the tractors away and Grandma Faye had supper prepared. Just some down-home goodness — I was so glad to be apart of it.

Krusin' and Chillin'

Sydney Kruse is very laid back. There's not much that seems to bother her. She doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get crawling, and walking just doesn't appeal to her. Seems to me like she'd rather, sit, chill, and take the world in. Perhaps we should all be a little more like Sydney. More time taking life in, less time worrying, more time enjoying. I like it. Oh the life of a baby...

Every smile. Every laugh.

The Pilkowski's photos are pretty self-explanatory. Beautiful family. Exquisite color. And two little amazing girls with a lot of character and imagination. I relished every minute. Every smile. Every laugh.
