It was a Little Mermaid party. Which first of all, I didn't know Arial was still popular (or popular again) but I'm glad she is!! Love me some Little Mermaid. She had some adorable cupcakes too...with edible clam shells on top!
She is one of the coolest kids I know. She is sweet, hilarious, caring, full of energy, and an awesome dancer! =) What's not to love? We love having her around and are thankful that her mom and dad let us hang out with her!
Now to the pictures: She posed herself for some of these. =) You'll also notice she got a pretty sweet present...
Here's her year in review:





Can you believe it!? She is such a big girl! She has a lot of personality and of course, is cute as can be. =) I just love how Jodi always has her dressed so stylishly!
Rusty and Jodi, thanks so much for letting us capture your beautiful family this past year! We've had a blast and always look forward to your sessions! PS - happy birthday pretty girl!

Next up is Chris and his two adorable kiddos. Those two kept us on our toes for sure! When one was super excited for pictures, the other was being a little bashful. Then, they decided to switch about halfway through the session. =) Isn't that about all kids?! They're so darn cute though!! We had a blast running around and playing!
Chris is a great dad and obviously loves his kids very much. His girlfriend Annette also joined us for some and I think she kinda likes them too. =)
Stay tuned for more family posts this week since we'll be shooting weddings the next two weekends!
So cute!! Love them!
(12.06.10)What beautiful children...all three of them!

In addition to the smiles she was giving us some of her famous grumpy faces! They are too cute. I don't think she's actually grumpy (she seems completely happy and content to me) but she apparently likes to scrunch up her face and be dramatic! She has a killer "pirate eye" look too. Love it!
You may have noticed that the black and white picture is of her on a KU blanket (she even has a cute KU headband on) but since we're OSU fans around these parts, we couldn't allow all that red and blue on here! =) Just kidding!
PS - doesn't Liz look FANTASTIC?!
PSS -we'll have some pictures from a recent wedding on soon. Thank you everyone for your patience during this incredibly busy time!
PSSS - have a very happy Thanksgiving!
I Love Them!

Her parents are naturals and obviously love their little girl so much already. It was cool to see them fall so easily into their new roles.
Congratulations again John and Anna!! Couldn't be happier for you and can't wait to see you guys again!
