Delaware Tree Farm Family Session - Carrow Family

Cheers to one more tree farm session! The Carrow Family.  They were so easy to photograph which of course made it hard for me to pick the "best" ones.  They had so many! 

The Carrow family is made up of Harvey (Dad), Pam (Mom), Amber, and Mike. Pam brought along a cherished blanket that was given to her as a little girl from her Pop Pop.  It holds a great amount of sentimental value to her as whenever she needed her Pop Pop (who deceased shortly after giving her the blanket) would just wrap herself in the blanket to know he was there with her.  It is such a beautiful blanket!   The red is magnificently bright and I loved being able to showcase its beauty in the photos. 

Love the look of love on Pam's face.  Her children are her everything.

Amber you are sooooo gorgeous.

 Hey blue eyes...

And then the sun was beginning to set...

 Love. this. photo.

HAPPY GENES

 A beautiful photo to end their beautiful session.

Thank you for sharing your family with me! I hope you all enjoy these photos for a long time to come. And I hope who ever you were surprising them with loves them as much as I do.

Happy New Year & Rocco's 8 months

Happy New Year 2014!!

With the new year we bring along a mouthy 8 month old.

About me...

20 lbs

30"

3 teeth (2 bottom, 1 top)

Says mama & baba consistently 

Shows off at the dinner table to his Lolo and his cousin Jared. 

Flips the light switch off in his bedroom when we leave the room.

Mastered a fake choke, cough sound. (He's dramatic like his daddy)

Gets up on his knees and plays.  Getting close to crawling. 

And he is even trying to pull up to standing position using the couch.

Hugs mommy tight when she is using the food processor.

Loves...

Baths. Squeals and wiggles his naked little body 

out of our arms to get in the tub.

 Drinking from his new sippy cups with the straw

Yelling

To play airplane with his Lolo, riding his new horsey his Lola got him for Christmas,

playing with Daddy, and hugging his Mommy at night.

Food! Wants whatever we are eating. You can't get anything passed him. 

But we still feed him a lot of his baby foods and don't give him too much of what we are eating yet.  Maybe soon though. 

 Our little ornery stud muffin

 His little smirk

We had an amazing holiday at home with family.  Rocco really seemed to enjoy opening presents and playing with his new toys.   We had a truly special first Christmas with him. He was amazing even with only a few naps in between.  He just loves everyone fussing over him.

This little boy is proving to be quite a little character. He watches everything we do, so I'm guessing now would be a good time to watch what we do too.  Can't wait to see what the upcoming months in 2014 bring.  We just hope for good health and happiness!!

My cousin, Dianna - Felton, Delaware

I don't even know where to begin with my cousin, Dianna.  She's a whole lot to handle and if you looked up competitive in the dictionary, her picture would be there, and she is too smart for her own good. But when you peel back her many layers, she is a huge softy. And she loves my son Rocco so much. She refers to Rocco as her "perfect boy." The love she has for him makes me love her that much more. 

I enjoy what time I get to spend with her when she is not busy with law school studies. (I tell you what, she is going to be one TOUGH lawyer.  No joke.  Glad she is on our side. Oh, she is going to be that pretty one too.)  So as soon as she had some time in between exams, we snuck in a little photo shoot to surprise her mom with at Christmas.  I've been waiting to post these photos because I knew Aunt Connie checks my blog, as I did not want to spoil the surprise. ;)

Dianna also brought along their dog Bailey. Such a great boy!

Of course I have to put one of Rocco and her in front of our Christmas tree in the mix. "Hey, perfect boy" - as she would say. 

Dianna, I just want you to know how much I truly do believe in you. Never waver when the moments get to be too much. Just keep focused on the end result.   Proud of you and love you.

Delaware Christmas Tree Farm - Brooklyn & Bronx

Talk about a high energy photo session! This was one of those! It was too much fun watching Brooklyn chase her adorable son, Bronx, all over the tree farm.  He is super fast until he bites the dust! We were on a go, go, go shot format for this one, if not, I would have missed it all. 

Brooklyn is just the sweetest and an amazing mother to her little boy. This was another session where it was extremely hard to pin point which photos I wanted to show. Just too many cute moments.  Enjoy!

 Snowflakes were a huge hit! 

Brooklyn, you are beautiful, inside and out. 

This little boy loves you mama.

For some reason this picture just makes me turn to mush. Rocco turned me into mush. Blame Rocco. Just love the look of pure love and happiness on her face. 

Snowflake party! He is just too da*n cute. I can't take it.

Being a mom looks good on you, Brooklyn. :)

See what happens when you tell a little boy to hold a plate of cookies and not eat them.  This was all him. Adorable.

 Just alike. Goofy. ;)

I just want to eat him up. Big scoop of Bronxy-boy.

Brooklyn, You are doing an amazing job of raising your spunky, energetic, sweet baby boy. He is just too cute for words. You are a beautiful mom.  So happy we were able to meet. I left your session even more blessed than before. Thank you!

Happy Snowy Day!

What a beautiful day today was! Our first gorgeous serene snow day.  Just a nice dusting on the ground and trees. I mean I could go for a lot more but it was just enough to make a beautiful day, so I'm a happy girl. Of course we had our lil Roc-star outside for just a few minutes to snap a few photos. 

We hope for many more too! :)

 His first "sleigh" ride, don't think it was made for this but hey Roc seemed to love it. 

 He also enjoys chewing his hat straps.  

Oh, and see the tree behind him, that's our living Christmas tree that we purchased locally, put it inside, decorated it, and then freaked because we thought we were killing it so we took it back outside!

Delaware Christmas Tree Farm - The Larimore Family

Next up on the Christmas Tree Farm is this awesome family! The Larimore Family. I am just so happy Susie called me to set up their session. We had a blast and they couldn't be any nicer of a family. 

The Larimore Family - one good looking family or what?!?

The Dad & Mom that started it all - Pat & Susie

Their three children, Rachel, Ben, & Ashlie

 Ashlie & her husband Tommy 

Ben - this smile looks good on you! 

Rachel & her fiance Robert

These two are just adorable. Ashlie you are beautiful!

The handsome son, Ben

I'm a sucker for laughter and Robert knows how to make Rachel laugh. 

These guys know how to have fun. Even Dad was running through the trees! ;)

Even the tree farm owner, Paul, couldn't help but to get in on the fun.

Ok, I had to leave with one more jump photo. They just crack me up.

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I busted up laughing (usually at a certain somebody...cough cough...Robert) while editing their session. Tons of fun. So happy I got to meet this family. I hope to see you guys again in the future!
