Lyla Rae

I've probably mentioned them 100 times but Blaize and Rob have been good friends of mine since high school, and yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing their precious 2-year-old daughter Lyla. Although it wasn't exactly a pretty day, we met in Solomons in the afternoon and as always, I had so much fun spending time with one of my favorite little families :) Rob and Blaize are such great people and Lyla is one lucky little girl because she is so loved. At 2, it's really fun watching her start to come into her own. She is getting SO vocal and she's absolutely hilarious. She had us laughing the whole time and I really just wanted to take her home with me when we were done!

Rob and Blaize, thanks so much for letting me hang out with you and Miss Lyla Rae yesterday. You three made my day and I am so very appreciative of your friendship :)

Cousins | Ty and Hank

Fall is in full swing and the weather has been very good to us this weekend...finally! We've endured a lot of rain but finally it really feels and looks like fall outside. Yesterday afternoon I met up with my good friend Lena, her boyfriends sister Amanda and her son Hank, and Amanda's brother's wife Kim and her son Ty (I know that probably sounds a little confusing, but it's really not...promise hehe). At almost 2.5 Ty took to the camera a little better than Hank (who is a little over 1), just because I guess he understood what the camera was all about. Hank on the other hand, was pretty much on his own schedule and kept us all laughing with his inquisitive and comical faces. The bottom line: these two are precious and are definitely going to have the little girls swooning in about ten years. Ten years that will probably go very quickly! And I can only imagine all of the fun they will be getting in together! Thanks so much to Amanda and Kim for letting me hang out with you guys and your boys yesterday, and to Lena for coordinating the whole deal!
