creason clan [mini session]

i just can't get enough of this family - thankfully i'm related to them, so i get to see them lots :)  katie is one of my favoritest people ever (she makes choir practice much more entertaining than it would be otherwise... ps - we're going to ROCK our duet in the christmas cantata!!), jp is super cool (he let me play the aladdin video game on his old school play station thing when i was 7 and made really realistic car noises when he pretended to shift gears - best cousin ever) and conner, well, he's just the happiest, cutest child i have EVER met. i love him. i might be slightly biased, but seriously, he's precious.  yeah, you're right, i'm not biased... he IS the cutest/happiest child i've ever met.

and i will lead off with an image that might possibly be a personal favorite - i'm kindof proud of this one:

in all fairness, it might be impossible to take a bad picture of him. THOSE EYES!!! can't get enough. he's going to be a heartbreaker. 

and i'm going to follow that up with this, because it proves that katie is also STUNNING

such a sweet family :)

you can see where conner gets those baby blues:

so much happiness abounded during this shoot - its what makes me love what i do!!

<3 

 thanks ya'll!!!

conner *little monster

if you know me, you know that i love spending time with children. so when one of my favorite cousins (katie!!!) announced that she and jp were pregnant i was BEYOND excited. seriously, she is amazing (good job jp) and so much fun and just a joy. she also really likes photography so when she wanted to take baby pictures of conner she invited me over to snap a few pictures too... THANK YOU KATIE. not only did she let me move her furniture around to find good lighting, she had TONS of cute little outfits and ideas for pictures with conner.

these first two pictures are from her baby shower back in march, but i decided to include them here because technically conner is in these pictures too :) enjoy!

so pretty.

hereeeeee's conner! this outfit belonged to his daddy and there is a picture of jp in this little sailor suite with this same blanket! katie's plan was to surprise jp on his first father's day with a picture of conner in the same outfit!

such a little model.

p.r.e.c.i.o.u.s.

oh i just ADORE this one. he's saying 'i know i'm cute, so i'll give you a little smile'

this bear is made from one of paw-paw's work shirts. if he could see his great grandson he'd be so proud!

another 'model face' shot :)

FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY: when katie brought out this little jewel. it was a monster halloween costume that one of her co-worker's had. since conner's nursery theme is 'cute monsters' this was absolutely perfect!!

the majority of these monsters were crochetted by someone (i can't remember who - sorry!!) in katie's family. so talented!

loved the feet

and then jp got home and we made him participate too :)

conner was getting fussy by this point (i can't really say that i blame him... we took a lot of pictures) so he looks kindof miffed in this one, but his eyes are so blue! so i had to share

since he's in the family, you can expect to see this little guy A LOT in the future. good thing he's cute ;)
