{ Too cold for smiles }

The hardest thing about this time of year is trying to get a smile out of the little ones. It's too dang cold. I put my bulky, ugly, heavy coat on, some gloves on my fingers, and I forget that my cute clients aren't quite as warm and toasty. :)

We ran into only a minute of this problem today, but managed to warm up a bit by throwing rocks in the river. It kind of took our mind off of the chill in the air. For a minute. HA! But look at this lil' lady. How cute is she?

And, in case you wondered, her boots were my favorite part of her outfit! :) GO FIGURE.

{ Miss Tara }

It was so fun to meet up with Tara and her family yesterday! I haven't seen these kiddos for so long and they have grown so much. The weather was beautiful, and they were all so easy going! We were finished way too quickly, and I felt like I didn't get to visit enough. :(

However, we did have plenty of time to get some "hang-able" images for mom's wall!

Thanks again, Tara. It was so fun to see you guys again!

{ FREEZING }

Oh my! What was I thinking scheduling a session in such chilly weather? These poor kiddos froze their little bums off! They were little troopers, and after rotating them out of the warm car for their "turn", I think we got some fun pics.

And this lil' lady was NOT about to smile, for any reason, or any bribe. :) We danced, we sang, we pulled faces, we bribed, we threatened. This is about as close to a smile as we could get. I obviously need to work on my dancing skills. LOL.

Don't be shy, speak up! What do you think?
