Today was soooo warm and sunny–it was perfection! I love the first few warm days of spring. They are so refreshing! Unfortunately, they are usually followed by a few more wintery days…but I am not going to think about that right now. I’m also choosing to ignore the mud!  We took advantage of the weather and spent some time outside this afternoon.

That tomato is suspicious.

Pure evil.

Evan’s ball is a lot more fun.

And she’s not giving it back.

This girl knows how to corner!

Once the ball was back in safe hands, Lily tries to liven up Tyler by biting his ankles. He ADORES this, can’t you tell? Sometimes I think she is part blue heeler.

For being such a short month, February always feels sooooo long, as I am over winter. OVER IT. I actually embrace winter back in December, with the snow adding to the holiday spirit. January, I’m still hanging in there, as we all know January is going to be cold and nasty. However, by February, I cannot find much endearing about winter. Although this image is from last weekend, I woke up to similar snowflakes this morning. It’s not sticking, but still.

I am guessing that many of my readers will recognize this couple. If not, you need to get to Crossroads Community Church in Morrison!  I had the honor of taking their maternity portraits this week. I have to say they are so much fun that I spent about as much time laughing as I did taking photographs (admittedly I had to a scrap a couple of shots because I was laughing too much to hold the camera still).  The baby that will join this couple in the next few weeks is one of the luckiest babies alive. I can’t wait to meet him!

Since they were looking for relaxed images in their gorgeous historic home, we played a lot with natural light:

from a lot of angles…

They are such a happy couple, and so blessed, and they deserve every bit of it.

A couple of snuggle shots:

Here’s the WHOLE family:

Then, we headed up to the nursery and took some shots there, where I captured my favorite image:

along with a few other fun shots:

There is something I really like about this one. I usually prefer maternity images in black and white, but this one I was feeling the color version more:

Stay tuned…you will be seeing more of these two + one in March!
