Myla and Eli

Hey everyone,

Meet Gretchen, Rick and their adorable kiddos. When we first moved here, I met Gretchen through Kate (aka Callum and Drea's mom). Gretchen is a stay-at-home-mom too, and as you can probably see, Eli is just about Holden's age. When I was editing photos, I asked Holden if he wanted to see Eli on the computer, and he was super excited and signed for "more."

I know I've said it before, but I feel very lucky these days. Gretchen is the master of all play date arrangements, making our transition to Amherst so much better. I had such a nice time on Sunday getting to spend more time with her whole family. Myla just might be my most enthusiastic model to date!

I call this one...SUPER DAD!

Thank you Gretchen and Rick for suggesting Mount Pollux. Pretty amazing location!

Spring sessions have begun, and it was such a pleasure to kick off the season with the Fishers. We've been friends with them for a long, long time, and I consider myself so fortunate to be new to a town where I get texts pretty regularly that say:

"We're headed to the park! Come out and play."

We had a wonderful time spending the morning at their house, doing a little work, eating some good food. I think I can keep this up.

Over the next few weeks, my blog followers will see more photos of our friends here in the Happy Valley. What a nice way to start my business in a new town...

And below is quite possibly one of my favorite series of photos ever...

Which one is your favorite??

Oh Hey cutie!

This picture of Chandler caught my eye as I was editing tonight. He may have been acting crazy (classic bewitching hour at dusk...) but this photo was perfect!

Mom's day

"Well she can rock them babies when the sun goes down

She's the ol' time queen of the hand-me-down....

she make both ends meet right in the middle you see

but when the lights are low and the time is right

and her sister's got the kids for the night

well she still looks like sweet sixteen to me.

....cause she's got a rock 'n roll heart

I knew it right from the start

She's got that smile that still tears me apart

and she's got a rock 'n roll heart...

Well she's the girl next door

she's the bell of the ball...

I don't know how she does it all

The house and the kids and all that she does for me

but she loves to work and she loves to play

I can't say how she got that way

It's a natural thing that comes so easily

...when she's got a rock 'n roll heart

I knew it right from the start

She's like a light that shines in the dark

and she's got a rock 'n roll heart...

And when she goes to work in the morning

She got the radio a blastin' all the way

she's singing while the traffic is a hummin'

cause that's the way she likes to start the day

....cause she's got a rock 'n roll heart

I knew it right from the start

She's got that smile that still tears me apart

and she's got a rock 'n roll heart..."

To my mom and all the moms out there, Happy Mother's Day.

I'm very lucky. Our friends, who are like family, live about a mile away from our new home. I sometimes have to pinch myself because we get to see them at least once a week now. Baby girl Drea blessed their lives about two weeks ago now, and I had the pleasure of her company for a photo shoot at 6 days old. She may not have wanted to miss much of the action, but she is the sweetest, most mellow baby ever.
