Tickled Pink

Once in a while, I offer a seasonal  mini session  on Facebook.  A special just for my FB fans....so if you're not already a "Fan".... swing on over and "LIKE" us... there is some fun stuff on there and when we earn some landmark numbers, there will be prizes...... 

This Valentine/Spring session was just so stinking fun with all the girls in layers of pink and red.  

LOVED IT!!!!  

Like mother ~ like daughter...

The saying, "The apple doesn't fall from the tree" should also be said for beauty as well... because this stunning woman in the pretty momma of this pretty baby... and those eyes and lashes- seriously??? OMGosh! Killin' me!  L.O.V.E. them!

Peyton recently turned 1- and in honor of her becoming a big girl/future fashionista....

We decided it was time to introduce her to the finer things in life...

Tea parties, feathers, pearls, and...chocolate.... you know- the essentials.

Can't wait to watch this one grow up!

***Is it wrong that she's not even my child and I want to blow this one up HUGE...

those eyes just melt me!*** 

Birthday wow...

So I'm sitting here taking a break for a moment, wondering how the heck it's already been a year since I made this post...

http://didi-mycrazycrazylife.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

and how the *bleep* it's been 12 years since i was being rushed down the hallways of the L&D ward getting ready for an emergency C-section to deliver my very first princess.... my little buddy... who is now 5'6", and  nearly as tall as me already!

We definately have some of those "tweener" moments going on in our house that make me absolutely nuts but for the most part- I couldn't be more proud.   Here's to my gorgeous first born- I put you on the cover of a magazine... just because I know you're beautiful enough to be there- but smart enough to know-- that's not everything.....

Love you baby girl. xo ox Mommy

Miss Mia

Doing a little happy dance this week- Miss Mia has finally arrived- and she is perfection!

We had to shoot this in two sections because our girl was not EVEN gonna sleep for us the first time.....

And her daddy was on leave for just a bit so we shot them together last week and then Miss Mia and I hung out today for a bit to see if we could get her to stay asleep so that we could play dress up! 

She did and I'm so glad it worked out to get all the shots we wanted.

Can't wait to see her in a few months to see how much she's changed!

I love being a part of your lives guys- thanks for choosing me!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland....

Walking in a Winter Wonderland....

Clearly not written for those afraid of a little snow....and the plan was to play in the snow....

but we never got any!!! 

 The beautiful Murphy family were rock-star brave as we decided to make a go of an incredibly cold and frosty morning out in Machias {a great roadside find of those cool trees and the Christmas tree farm were perfectly frosty}.....baby girl Randie {who we would shoot for 90 seconds and then bundle for several minutes} was so sweet and so patient- even their pup Kodiak fell in line for a photo!

We had to work quickly but we sure had fun!

Thanks for playing with me guys!

Lovely Lady Lilly

Welcome and Happy Holidays to a sweet little bundle named Lilly!

Miss Thing was just a smidgen past two weeks for these photos and it's clear, that this little girl knows she is the star of the show already and isn't going to miss a single minute of life by sleeping it away.... 

Her mommy and I worked sooooo hard to get her to sleep for this session and the  fact of the matter is... she had no intention of missing her close-up!

It was such a pleasure to meet you little one... I can't wait to watch you grow!

Eloise is turning 1!!!!!

Look who's having a birthday????!!!!!??????

That's right folks- Eloise aka "Ellie" is turning one already!

She is so danged cute I can barely contain myself- OMSBG!

{that's Oh-My-Squishy-Baby-Goodness, in case you were wondering...} 

And her pretty momma always brings the MOST amazing clothes and hair pretties!

So bask in the cuteness... and then go back some cupcakes... 'cause you know you want some now!

******************

Thanks for coming to play with me kids!  Mwah!

Audrey

Hello world.... Meet Audrey.  She's my new friend... and she's just about the prettiest newborn I've EVER met!  Seriously!  {I'm crazy in love with this girl!}

Her big brother is Alex (the gorgeous guy with the huge blue eyes that look Earth from outer-space and that amazing red hair.... )....yeah- you know the one....

And her folks are just about the sweetest, most mellow people ever.... {effortlessly & naturally beautiful} it's easy to see where Alex and Audrey get it!

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to take Audrey's first photos!

{and uhm WOW.....how about this set of b&w.... Kristen just looks so peaceful and amazing!}

I love this set... Kristen lost her momma about the same time I lost mine- and Audrey is tucked into the last purse that her mom had purchased- with sunflowers... her mom's favorite flower.... and I adore that she's a sentimental girl like me- because.... this makes me a bit teary-eyed......  And actually there's several other elements in these photos that are memory and heirloom laden...  and that makes it all the more special.  There is much to smile about and be grateful for today..... take advantage of the opportunity to love on your family and tell them how much they mean to you. xoox Didi V.

The Cam Fam

It was a cold winter-y morning at Howarth Park- but we managed to dodge the rain drops and keep our noses from running in the cold, just long enough to grab some snaps of the beautiful Cam-Fam!

Another one of the many families that I get to enjoy watching grow and change- so much fun!

{and if you are into the eyes being the windows of one's soul.... check out this family- my goodness there are some gorgeous peepers here!}

Thanks for playing with me in the cold guys- love you long time!

Olivia II

No- you're not seeing double nor are you  losing your mind...

Yes, you did just see a post about the same adorable little girl further back.... 

Miss Olivia was lucky enough to have visits with both sides of her family just a couple of weeks apart so were were able to catch the fun with more grandpas and grandmas!

She is one adored and lucky little girl for sure!

Thanks for asking me to join you guys- I loved seeing you again!!!
