6-8 months is one of my most favorite ages to photograph.  when babies can sit up and have a little independence for the first time it is so fun to see the excitement in their eyes.  carson is such a happy little babe.  she had me giggling throughout our shoot with her big gummy smiles!

i cannot believe that these two little munchkins are going to be 6 and 11 soon!  they fill me up with so much joy and sunshine.  we had a little photo-shoot when we were on bald head island over spring break.

this warm sunshine and the upcoming daylight savings time change makes me so happy! i am ready for spring, but it also means i only have a couple more weeks to catch up on all of my winter projects! one of my goals for 2015 is to try to keep up with my family photos.  here are some of my favorites from a winter trip to crested butte, the cutest little colorado town ever!  we had such an amazing time doing every snow activity that we could think of when we visited over christmas break.
