Pretty Polka Dot Party Dress ∙ Portraits of Our Little Family ∙ New Bern, NC Photographer

Normally, I prefer outdoor portraits, but we were limited on time so… we improvised. My mom got McG this party dress hoping she could wear it for Easter, but because she is such a petite little one, it just now fits her.  I thought it would be perfect for her 18 month portraits. Maybe we can have a tea party before she grows out of it. She absolutely loves dressing up. She is constantly in my jewelry box and clomping around in my heels, the ones I can hardly wear. She has perfect balance in them! Should I be scared?

Anyway, isn’t she a cheeser? I can’t help but laugh every time I look at these photos. What a joy she is to us! I love my baby and can’t believe she’s growing up to be a little girl already.

MIA ∙ A trip to Michigan

I have to apologize. I have been a negligent blogger. It’s not my fault though. These three people have kept Mckenna and me quite busy.  This is my college roommate, Lindsey, (yes, it was confusing at times) and her little ones.  Mckenna and I had a chance to spend the week with them last week. Although the daddies were away fishing in Canada, we had so much fun going to the zoo, Children’s Museum and watching chick flicks (after the kiddos’ bedtime, of course).

Lindsey got a few photos of Mckenna and me too. I’m a sucker for Queen Anne’s Lace.

Linds, we had such a wonderful time. It was really a time of refreshment and healing for me. I needed that time with a good friend! I can’t wait for our girls trip next year!
