Amiyah Elise Benard

Meet the newest addition to our family. My cousin Marlena gave birth to precious little Amiyah Elise Benard last Tuesday and she weighed in at 7 pounds 8 ounces.

Alexis and her Cheer-O's

Meet Elijah's future wife, Alexis. I kid, but you never know! :) She is just about the sweetest little girl ever! When you look at those big beautiful blue eyes you can't help but fall in love with her. Elijah and I spend a lot of time with Alexis and her mommy and I LOVE to photograph her. We had to take some shots of her and with her beloved Cheer-O's. This was one of her first words and it is so fun to see her get SO excited when she sees the box and to hear her say in her sweet little voice, "Cheer-O's." (the O's is drawn out a bit) She also carries around her little wiener dog purse. How precious is that?! She is such a girly girl. I love it!

This makes me smile. The box is about as big as she is! :)

The Trader Family

I am so blessed to have such amazing friends. The Traders are some of the sweetest, most unselfish and giving people I know. Their little boy Ryan is only one month older than Elijah and Monique and I are in a Mommy group together. They were kind enough to let me practice on them. Thanks so much you guys. You are awesome! :)

Ben and Naomi

My "little" brother Ben and his sweet girlfriend Naomi were gracious enough to let me photograph them for practice. Ben was really tired, but he was still a trooper and let me snap away. What a great brother! :) The sky was overcast and gloomy and it was even raining a little, but I was still able to get a few shots.
