Put a Fork in Me....

.... I am done!  Well, we are a little over three weeks away from the arrival of our third little bundle of joy and I am officially on maternity leave. Ryan and I took our own kiddos out for one final photo shoot before they welcome the new addition to the family this morning "on the way to get donuts". I have been eyeing this field of flowers for a few weeks now and the weather was perfect to try to get some pics. Even though the four of us only lasted about 15 minutes before the whining and sillies set in, I was able to get this one shot of my kids together - probably their last as just a two-some. Boy, do I love these goof balls.

Just think the next post will be of three little Purdy's..... until then.....

TTTBW.....

I am officially Too Tired To Be Witty, so..... here are some pics of one of Riley's sweet preschool teachers kiddos....  

Double trouble....

I had the pleasure of photographing these two cutie pies a few weeks ago and let me tell you, it was a workout!  They were both super well-behaved and full of energy.  Usually when I have that combo, I look for a big bed to let them jump on.  These little guys loved it and we got some great smiles to prove it!  I have to laugh at my favorite one of the two of them on the bed on their bellies - their mom and I were pulling out every trick in the book to get them to look up at the same time.  I included the frame before and after down below just to prove sometimes you only get one chance to grab that shot:)  Enjoy....

T-Baller

Jake had his first t-ball game this past week.  He did amazing - which in t-ball terms means that he was able to run the bases in order, only sat down in the field to pick grass twice and did not tackle anyone while fielding the ball.  We were extremely proud.  Here are a few of our little slugger and the cheerleading squad we had assembled consisting of Riley and our sweet neighbor girls....

Part-E in Port-A

Just a few quick pics from Spring Break 2010 in Port Aransas, Texas this past weekend. And don't let the picture of Riley in the bathing suit fool you, it was actually extremely cold and windy all weekend long....

Lookin' for Shade....

Last weekend, I had a fabulous session with this adorable little guy and his parents at Hermann Park. The weather was absolutely gorgeous that afternoon - bright and sunny, not a cloud in the sky - perfect for the thousands of people who showed up at the park, kind of a pain for us photographers. When it is super sunny like that, you have to worry about deep shadows and people squinting, two things that can be hard to correct in post production. Even though it took some searching, we did find a few secluded shady spots tucked around the park. Here are some of my favorites....
