Welcome Itty Bitty Ethan!

When I saw Ethan's adorable nautical and sailboat themed nursery, I knew I had to incorporate it into his personalized Birth Announcement.   Welcome to the crew Ethan!!!   

Here is the front of his announcement.....

We even did a mini session with his ADORABLE big sis, Emma.......

Fall in Love with Tilly

Check out these pictures and fall in love with Tilly. Seriously.....I am in love with this little girl. I love how you can see the personality shine through in children. Some are shy, some may be a little cranky, some love to sing. After being in the room with this little lady for only 5 minutes, I could already see her big personality. She is going to be one funny girl when she grows up, mark my words. She would laugh out loud, be silly, stick out her tongue and melt your heart and light up the room with her mischevious smile. Here are some of my faves from the day......

Want to see what personality looks like........?



Okay, I love this one too.
I mean seriously.....this kid was killing me. Could she be any cuter? I think not.

Then we headed to the local park for a few outdoor shots. It was hotter than you could imagine, but you would never guess by looking through these...... This one is one of my favorites. Open field, sunset, blanket, sun glare.....mmmmmm......love.

Tilly loves her Grandpa.

One Year Later: Kelly and Terry

Plain and Simple, I love this girl. She knows me, she gets me, and we are like one in the same. Our friendship began about seven years ago. We have grown up together. We know how to have fun, we can talk for hours, and we always have wanted the best for each other. Last week, I was told by Kelly's brother, "I see why you and Kelly are friends." This comment came after I was elaborating on a story for quite sometime. Her brother may have been teasing me, but of course, I took this as a compliment. When I look at Kel, I see pure beauty. Not only on the outside, her beauty exudes from the inside. Her smile, love, and nurturing ways rub off onto everyone she meets.

Last year, I was blessed to document Kelly's wedding day. Not only was I able to stand by her side as she started her family, but I was able to capture her and Terry's happy moments. After the wedding, they added an addition to their family....Little Lola Bug. :) She looks exactly like Terry, and her blue eyes are enough to break anyone's heart. Here are some of my favorites from Kelly's family session.

One year ago....


Fast forward one year....
one of my faves from the day....

I love how Amelia and Kelly both made the same face without even realizing it....
I see the happiness in Kelly's eyes when she looks at Lola and Amelia.

I have watched this little grow into a little lady. She is sweet, soft spoken, and a comedian. :)
and she knows how to rock out the poses....

We Wish You a Married Christmas!

Tis' the season for lots of Christmas Card Designs. Here is number 3 of the day...and I still have more to work on! I am particularly fond of this one. Not only are Julie and Andrew as good looking as can be, but little Madison (featured on the back) is not only her mom's mini-me.....but take one look at her! SHE IS ADORABLE.....and let me add....just as sweet as can be! Julie and Andrew will be tying the knot next April. They wanted to send out Save The Date/Holiday Cards.....so this is what we came up with!

The front...

This is the back.....

If Madison looks familar, this might be why......

She was the flower girl in Bill and Christy's wedding this past September. :)

Happy Holidays from the Twellmans!

Here is the Holiday card designed especially for Scott, Ash, & Gus. :) There were so many cute ones of the little guy, I had to make a collage on the back!

Here is the front......

and then you flip it over, and this is the back......

Gus is 18 months! : SNEAK PEEK

Honest to goodness, I do not know how it is humanly possible to absolutely love Gus more than I do right now! He brings the biggest smile to my face and heart every time I hear that genuine laugh of his. I have adored little Gus-sy since before he was born. I am sure this has something to do with his Mom and Dad who I just think the world of. Ashley and I can sit and talk for hours, and Scott can always make me laugh. There are some people you connect with. Some people who are so real and genuine they make you know you were lucky to have met them. The Twellman's are those people to me. Here is a little sneak peek of Gus, Ash, and Scott. :)
