So this is it! We're down to the final week of voting for the Nickelodeon's Parents' Picks Awards!  Voting ends in exactly ONE WEEK....so please vote for me *DAILY* until next Wednesday (July 15th).   

Thanks to all of your votes, I have been in the lead the entire time.....but you never know! If you'd like me to win, please be sure to vote *DAILY*!!   THANK YOU!!!!!!!

The sun was out, we found plenty of shade, there was a nice cool breeze, all of the locations we went to were empty.....and this family knew how to rock the camera! From a bubble gum blowing contest, almost stepping on frogs and jumping.....to racing on their scooters and playing with a random cat and dog, i'd say these kids had a good time :)  Jaren (7) and Jack (9) sure knew how to work the camera....and made some of the best serious faces i've ever seen on kids their ages.  Oh and mom and dad weren't too shabby at it either ;) 

Thank you to all who have and are still serving our country! Wishing you all a fun, safe and sunburn free 4th of July weekend!  

At just 9 days old, Zoe was one of the most alert babies I have met. Not only was she awake pretty much the entire session (I think she *maybe* fell asleep for 1 minute at the most?), but she would literally follow me with her eyes if I moved. Although she never fully fell asleep...I managed to sneak in some shots that made it look like she did ;) Zoe is adorable, tiny and loved to pose. We caught her with her hands posed behind her head quite a few times. She even waved at me a few times.....
