Newborn: Jackson & Blake

Oh twins! Twice blessed; double the kissable cheeks and tiny toes. Double the love, and double the diapers! Friends Molly and Vince invited me over for the afternoon to capture their baby boys' fifth day of life. To say this family is beautiful is the understatement of the century. And being in their home made me want twins in the worst way (Sorry Hubby!). Sweet and cuddly, with personalities all their own already, Blake and Jackson are just adorable, and full of spunk at five days old! They love being next to one another- posessing that cool twin trait the rest of us single birthed kids don't have. Another language, an understanding that comes from growing together for nine months. I couldn't help but marvel at how natural Molly and Vince are at doing all of this with not one baby, but two!

M & V- your beautiful little boys are so, SO lucky to have such incredible parents. Enjoy your first Christmas as a family of FOUR. Love and blessings always. And double the Congratulations!

Lifestyle: Aubrey's Sweet & Sassy Day

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: my family makes beautiful kids! My cousins, Lisa and Eric were recently in town for the weekend with their sweet littles, Aubrey and Caleb. Aubrey, at the wise old age of three, has recently landed some pretty amazing gigs as a model! We laughed over lunch, then wandered into my kid self's dream store- Sweet & Sassy. I better have a daughter, because if I become a mother of sons, they, along with my big man husband, are going to be very unhappy when I come home cuddling a pretty glammed-out little boy. Seriously. Mamas of little girls, listen up! This place is incredible. A mini-salon, outfitted with Hollywood lights and mini- director's chairs. Actually, mini-everything, including.. A MINI RUNWAY. We watched with Aubrey, as a birthday party commenced. Eight-year-olds dressed up, marched up and down the runway, as an emcee announced the birthday girl won Best Actress/Singer/Model/Horseback Rider of the World, presenting her with a big gold trophy. I'll admit, a bit of me reverted back during this awards presentation, as my inner voice screamed, lucky!

After Eric dragged us, kicking and screaming out the door, we took photos for Aubrey's quickly growing portfolio. She's such a beautiful and sweet little girl, and we'll find out in a few years, if she's anything like her mama, and her aunts and cousins.. if so, the ornery scale just tipped! Love y'all!

Brittany & Gabe: Engaged!

Brittany and Gabe are perfect for one another. Completely adorable and so so in love. Within minutes of meeting, I felt as if I'd known these two forever. They're light-hearted, and so refreshing to be around. Our morning filled with laughter was definitely one of my favorites- a gorgeous morning at Homestead Park with a beautiful couple. I can't even put into words how excited we are for their Spring 2011 wedding. Outdoors, on a farm. I couldn't have chosen a better location myself!

B and G- you have such an easy love between you and such wonderful appreciation for one another, that will, undoubtedly, keep your home happy throughout your life together. Enjoy the holidays as fiances!

Baby Bump: Nick & Lauren + Baby Corbin

This coming February, a little boy will be born to very excited, very sweet, very fun parents! What a lucky little dude. Upon meeting Nick and Lauren, it was easy to see the love and excitement they share in their growing family. We met at Lauren's mom's home, in old Delaware. Can I just say that I could've stayed in this beautiful home, built in the 1800s, for, oh, EVER. The intricate architecture, grand staircase, and each room a personality all its own, we had a wonderful time exploring and celebrating the impending arrival of their little one.

Nick and Lauren, your lighthearted and loving approach to the world will make you incredible parents. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful time in your lives with me. Looking forward to meeting your little man in February!
