The 'B' Family

I have had the privilege of photographing these sweet boys twice now. I was so excited when I arrived at their house a few weeks back for a family session, their precious little faces just lit up and they really remembered me. It was such a great feeling! The older one was really putting on a show. He was posing and cheesing it up for the camera! So cute.

The best part was going out in the snow with them, you would have thought that the little guy had never seen snow before. LOL

They are such a beautiful family!

I really love shooting sessions in the snow and am extremely pleased with how these pictures turned out!!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

The Brown Family

Meet the Brown family.

These sweet girls are the funniest little girls that I have ever photographed. They were just cracking me up the entire time! Keri for sure has her hands full and is the best mommy. Believe it or not, but the two little ones are twins and they just turned 2 yesterday. Their big sis turned 3 at the beginning of February.

Thank you Brown family for inviting me into your home to capture your family.

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Do you see what I see?

Over the weekend we headed up to Alton twice, to watch the Wintering Bald Eagles!

It was amazing to see the Eagles out in nature. We have seen them at the Zoo and at the World Bird Sanctuary, but never just out in the open so free and flying around. It was really neat.

On Saturday we went up to Grafton to eat and then to watch the Eagles. We saw so many, but most of them were out on the river just chillin'. The boys had fun looking up in the trees for Eagles. Kaleb really got into it. Brayden had fun, but couldn't really see much. The drive up and down the river was so pretty.

Sunday was Tony's birthday and it was such a gorgeous day out, we wanted to do something outside. Since we probably wouldn't be out for awhile with a blizzard warning heading in this week with freezing temps.

We decided to go see some more Eagles and the boys were thrilled! This time we knew the good spots to go to. I think that we are going to make this an annual tradition and will have to take my parents along with us next year! My mom LOVES Eagles and would enjoy seeing them in person.

Maybe next year I will have a new camera with a super great lens to get even better pictures! One can only hope! :)

One SUPER large Eagles nest!!!!

Love this lighthouse!

Kaleb looking for the Eagles

A picture of one HUGE bird...we couldn't figure out what kind it was. All we know is that it was on of the biggest birds we have ever seen. The wing span on this bird was an amazing sight to see! The picture does not do it justice.

Our pretty drive up the Mississippi River heading towards Grafton.

It reminded us of being out in California on the coast. Even though neither one of us have ever seen that in person! LOL

Another pretty little lighthouse in Grafton, IL

The beautiful St. Louis skyline on our drive home on Hwy. 255

Ice Storm

Well, the Blizzard of 2011 that they were calling for in the St. Louis area was sort of a bust! BOO

I was actually looking forward to it. The snow part, NOT the ice or the power outages that come along with it!! Thankfully the power stayed ON and all was well here today.

The kids didn't have school today or tomorrow, because of the icy conditions. They enjoyed watching movies, playing Lego's together, and playing a little bit of Wii! They have already picked out the first movie that they want to watch tomorrow. As I sit here and type this blog entry, the snow is really starting to come down. So I guess we might get some snow out of all of this!?!? If we do I'm sure I will be showing snow pictures on here tomorrow.

Stay warm :)
