gorgeous frames

These are my favorite frames.  And I am carrying them now .. YEAH!!!!     I love them and so excited to be able to offer them to my clients.    They are handmade by a company called Obrien Schridde and are just gorgeous.  I love that they go with both the vintage shabby sheek look and also the black frames look great with a more modern style.  All of the options are just perfect for any nursery.    They have so many different styles and colors.    I have  recently bought eight of them for my own house and they look fabulous.     Check out the Obrien Schridde  site and you can see colors, sizes and frame options.    Email me at abirdwell@mac.com or Kurstin at kdalton@me.com for pricing and other info.     

 

 

Brekka

This sweet little girl is daughter of my friends J & V.   She could not be any sweeter and was so fun to photograph.   She has two older brothers and an older sister so i am excited to photograph the whole crew sometime soon.   And her adorable Susie Knits hat is just tooooo cute!  Here is your sneak peek.  

 

and baby makes five ... the schmidt family

I was a pleasure to meet and photograph this amazing family.    First of all both big brothers were full of smiles and so cooperative with everything we did.   And their sweet little brother just slept through the entire session.   He finally opened his eyes when we were about to finish up so we did get some with the adorable eyes open.    I had a hard time narrowing down my sneak  peek so here is a bunch ...  








 

its been a while

since I have posted and I am sooo sooo very far behind.    Wow!   I had a incredible vacation although I have to say that although I am a bit refreshed from time away, sun and beach ...   the time change has left me much more tired that I imagined.  
This is the other reason I can not keep up ... but what a sweet little reason huh? 
  
This was taken on our garage floor.   Not a planned photoshoot... he was lying on a blanket while I was helping jayden with her bike.  He looked so cute in his little sweater and his big blues.   The light in my garage is amazing so I grabbed the camera.    So sweet!    

Loving the spring weather and that spring sessions are just around the corner.   Back to work in the morning .. see you then! 

on vacation

I am on vacation until Friday in the amazing and beautiful Hawaiian islands.   we arrived in Maui on Friday.  We are here for our friend Neil's wedding.   So excited to hang out with friends, lay in the sun, read and relax.  I have already finished a book and starting the twilight series today.    Kids are having a wonderful time with my parents ... sooooooo thankful for their help.    I am photographing the wedding on Monday so Ill have lots of fun photos to post when I return.  Lots of sweet little newborns to post too when I get home.

Saturday was such a beautiful day.   I had to run down to the studio so took j & J with me and we took a few shots in a few new fun urban spots I found.    We pretend it is an adventure and they love being downtown by " all the tall buildings" !!   Yes ... it did require a bribe ...  hot chocolate and cookies at the amazing Corner Coffee Shop by the studio.
