I gave the girls a treat of chocolate ice cream tonight, and, as usual, Brooke ends up with most of it on her face & the table.  Before she went to bed, I told her we needed to look in the mirror and clean her face.  She wanted to get up tall enough to see.  Once she saw that chocolate mess on her face, she got very giddy & started making faces in the mirror.  I even have a little video of this too!  She is so silly!

Our neighbors – being the spring chickens that they are – had about 16 friends stay over for the weekend.  They looked liked they had so much fun.  Here’s a shot from the teeny, tiny session I gave them.

My 365 post from yesterday got moved to today because, frankly, I’m getting old & am too tired to stay up after a wedding & post a photo.  Maybe I need to take up coffee, or vitamins!

Well, I had the great pleasure of photographing Dave & Kasandra’s wedding at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, Maryland.  I got an email from Dave earlier in the week asking what my plans were if it happened to rain.  Um…not show up???   Well, thanks be to God, it did not rain until after the wedding!

We ran out of time (due to various reasons) for Dave & Kasandra’s bride & groom photos, so I begged them to let me take them out after their reception & have 30 minutes of their time.  The following photo is one of the many that made me get all giddy & teary-eyed at the same time.  Thanks so much for letting me put you in the briers…I think it was worth it!

I have been friends with Stephanie for a really long time.  I think since I was 13 or so?  Regardless of that fact, she has been a constant in my life like no other friend, and I love her for that.  And as she’s come to significant moments in her life, I’ve tried my best to be there: wedding, baby shower, and now baby Madilyn!  I was so excited to get to visit with her & just enjoy time with she, Madi, & daddy Brad.  They are such a fit – the three of them like puzzle pieces that are perfect for one another.  My heart is warmed seeing this new precious baby added to their lives.  Thanks Brad & Steph for letting me take part of your day & enjoy your new daughter.  I can’t wait to watch her grow!

Oh, and let’s have a little voting for some fun!  Vote for the photo you think would be perfect for a baby announcement.  That’s always my most difficult dilemma, which photo do I choose?  Leave your vote in the comments.  Thanks!
