Tahoe Traditions

Every year we look forward to our family time in Tahoe, building memories and traditions with our kids. I’ve posted our vacation pictures all over the place so I figured I couldn’t leave out this site. :) I really loved some of the pictures from our recent trip to beautiful Lake Tahoe so I have lots to share:

This is the view from riding the gondola to the top of the mountain:

Mr. Smiles

Even when he was a newborn, this little guy was full of smiles for me. It’s always so fun to see Landon and his Mommy and Daddy - I just love photographing them!! We met this morning in my new little favorite spot. The light was just beautiful and Landon was as happy as ever:

He is 9 months now and almost walking. We had to get some pictures of him holding himself up:

Landon was so cute sitting in this chair. He wasn’t so sure about sitting in it the normal way but when we flipped it around - it became a very fun game! Just look at those cute little feet:

He was cracking us up, shaking the chair, kicking and swinging his legs. I have SOOO many cute shots of him in this series - and lots of him looking but I really loved these ones.

It was also fun to eat the chair!

At the very end we pulled out his frog hat from Grandma and I’m glad we did. Some of the shots with this hat on are my favorites from the day. Here is a cute one:

Ryan and Mariah - he just gets cuter every time. Thanks for letting me spend some time with your little piece of joy!! :)

Project 31 - Day 26

I love having a girl. Today we got back from ballet class and Haylie was just so cute - I couldn’t resist an impromptu photo session. Luckily - she was happy to oblige if it meant delaying nap time a little. I just adore her so much. I can’t believe we had a part in making her!

Here she is just back from ballet class (the rain boots were just so that her ballet shoes wouldn’t get wet. We decided to leave them on because they were just too cute). I went a little overboard on the pictures today but I have a lot more and it was very hard to narrow down!!

Project 31 - Day 24

I love shopping for new props. There are so many fun things to pick up that add to a photo session, like baskets and chairs or blankets and fabric backdrops. This weekend I picked up a new rug which I am very excited about.  I used it in my newborn session today and it worked great - photos of that to come tomorrow!! Here are a few random pictures from my shopping trip -  I just love colors and fabrics - so fun!
