Another Year to Celebrate

I woke up this morning, hearing the winds rip around the house... a beautiful golden light was peeking through my window, and birds were chirping in the large tree just outside. The texts are already flooding in with birthday wishes, and I hear Lex is stirring in his crib... It's 7:00am. Time to get up. I check the texts, which consist of all my family members, hoping to be the first to wish me a happy birthday. I smile and go peek into Lex's room to make sure he's really awake. (Why wouldn't he be, it's 7:00am... he actually slept in...) He's standing in his crib, watching the door for any movement. I get him out with a kiss and quietly head downstairs for his morning bottle. On the counter, still cluttered with all the rush of getting home late the night before, I find a beautiful note, left by my husband....

....And I get to enjoy a beautiful cake that Zeke helped make while my mom, Nana, watched them while I worked. He picked out the chocolate cake, purple frosting, and a mountain of sprinkles, on one small area of the cake...I guess he ate most of them, and spread what was left by pouring them out... He's great at spoiling surprizes already. I got home and he says to me in a whisper while covering his mouth so no one else can hear him... 'MOMMY! Zeke has a special surprize for you! A Happy day cake!' gotta love 'em.

I wanted to get a picture of the cake, but when I got it home, realized that Zeke had dropped his basket ball on the top while in his car seat, and most of the top peeled off with the tinfoil :) Zeke was happy to clean off the frosting coated tinfoil, while I eat the chocolate cake :) Fair enough. Here is a corner that was less affected by the ball tragedy.

Keegan : Miracle

Little Keegan was 6 days old for his session and he was a great little sleeper! Baby sessions typically take a couple hours and I had most of what I wanted to get for him in the first 25 minutes :) Here are couple teasers! Enjoy sweet baby Keegan Paul.

Big Brother Kai, just over 2 years old :)

David : 1 YEAR

Little David Rozema isn't so little anymore! I've had the privilege of photographing him as a newborn and at 6 months old. He is such a happy baby and we had a lot of fun seeing the whole Rozema family again... At the end we were able to get a photo of the 3 boys because as Jen said, 'never pass up the opportunity to photograph all 3 when no one has any stitches, cuts or bruises on their face!'

Thanks to a pose I was inspired to try from Tracy Raver's photography, this came out so cute!

Macy : Puppy Love

Puppies are the cutest things! Little Macy is 9 weeks old and was soooo much fun! She's a 3 lb. little mix between a Maltese, Pomeranian, chihuahua. She came to our studio and in about 45 minutes we were done with everything we could think of and Macy was fast asleep on the floor :) Enjoy the cuteness!
