Can I just say how happy I am to see the sun shining again??  I know, spring has been in full swing for some time now, but I think I am still shaking my post winter blues.  I am SOOO happy for the pretty days we have been getting.

Meet this cute family of four!  Mom is Kara, Dad is Ryan, and then we have Conner and Preston.  :)  We had an absolutely beautiful evening!

I’ll give you one guess as to who takes center stage in this family?  That would be 3 yr. old Preston!

These guys are such cuties.

What a doll!!

We had fun watching the boys play….

Tickle fest!

And then JUMP!

A moment for just Mom and Dad.  (It lasted about 3.2 seconds…)

This photo is actually upside down from how I shot it.  I said, “Preston!” and he looked back at me.

:) Mr. Silly in action.  (These kind of shots are always my favorite.)

Just Dad and his boys.

LOVE this shot.

Mom and her boys!

Kara and Ryan, thank you for coming out to do a session with us!  :)  We enjoyed running around and hanging out with you all!

This may very well be the most RANDOM post I have ever done, so please do your best to follow along.  :)  Let’s just say I gain my inspiration from my pal Betsy, who can pull off a random blog post like an eloquent diary entry…..

First up, did you see the Grey’s Anatomy Finale last night?  To be honest I don’t watch the show (withhold stone throwing please), but I hear that one of my favorite singer’s {Greg Laswell} wrote a new single for the show, and it debuted last night!  Did you hear it??

By the way, we have been asked about the music on our new Senior site (shown below), and Greg is who sings the first song.

So, go GREG!  Can’t wait to hear the new stuff, and see you in Columbus in July!

Next up…I have had some inquiries about Spring sessions, and frankly WE BE BOOKED.  If you are thinking you want a summer session or early Fall, let us know ASAP!!  We are filling up quickly.  We are full through the summer, with a few days left in August, so GET A MOVE ON!!  I always have this extreme guilt when I can’t finagle people into the schedule, so please LET US KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SCHEDULE A SESSION!  Please, and thanks.  :)

Now personal randomness!  (I warned you about this post…..)

We went in April to Kings Island Amusement Park for Brett’s company picnic.  We LOVE doing this and were so looking forward to it this year, but it turned out to be a cold and rainy day. BOO.

We tried to stay on the bright side (free Starbucks, Ice Cream, and various other junk helped).

The look of sheer joy was continuous on my face.

RAIN!  FUN!

Here’s Brett and Priya on some lame ride….P has a weird fear of anything outside of kiddie land.

Adin on the other hand is NOT afraid.  This photo made me laugh, so I decide do crop in so you could see Brett and Adin’s faces!!  :)

Later in April we went to see Ray Lamontagne in concert.  Another singer who I ADORE.  His music and voice are beyond goodness.  So yeah, I bought tickets for Brett’s birthday to go….wasn’t that so sweet of me?  :)  Haaaa.  ;-)  Anything for my Brett.

We sat pretty far back and it was completely dark except for the stage….our Canon 5D Mark II (with 85 1.8) did a fab job.  Brett took these full raw size because he knew I would be cropping in, and WOW.  That camera amazes me to no end.

Wonderful show….I have a new theory that he is the only person I have heard live that is actually BETTER than recorded.  His raw, soulful sound is just a little lost in production.  Just a little.

Another day recently my friend Renee stopped by to show us her new bike.  Adin decided to go for a ride.

Gabe fell asleep in the car one day which he NEVER does, so I took a photo of all my babies together.  :)  It has been a while since I had a shot of the 4 of them.

Check out those adorable bubbly lips!

And this week….

Kids have been sick, and Gabe is in the midst of the bad stuff as I type.  I took these yesterday and he just sat perfectly still, and stared.  He feels horrible.  :(

(But he is still precious.)

I said, “Are you tired baby?”  And he laid down.

So there is a little catch up on the randomness of our life.  We are scheduled to have our “Mother’s Day” with my family this weekend because we had to cancel last weekend due to illness.  We are hoping everyone feels better soon.  *hoping*

Hope you all have a great weekend!
