Tara and her adorable belly was blogged about a few weeks ago - and now, here is adorable little Dylan. And, he is absolutely precious. Before we know it, we will be doing 1, 2, and 3 year pictures of this little guy! But for now, we can be in awe of his tiny perfection.
How was your weekend?
Here are a few quick pics of the family from the 4th of July!
How was your 4th? :)
The first birthday is always very special. 
My nephew, Nolan, had his first birthday on Friday, July 6th. He is such a little peanut! Absolutely Adorable!! His little personality is starting to come out. He is mommy's little boy and following in his sisters feisty, little footsteps.
Nolan is already experiencing many firsts, and there will be many many more over the course of the next year. We are so blessed to have this little guy in all of our lives!
I have been lucky enough to capture some of his pictures along the way. He is featured in multiple categories in the gallery and on my buisness cards. Look for 1 year Birthday pictures coming very soon!!
I don't get that saying... Cat's out of the bag?? If a cat were in a bag, I am pretty sure we would know it... Anyway, onto the important stuff... and by important I mean the adorable session I am now allowed to share.
The folks that know me, know that I can't do surprises! I get so excited, that I ruin it - they get gifts early or I go on and on about the fabulous gift they are going to get... and then I talk myself into telling them what it is. HOWEVER, this surprise I was keeping, kinda... I got to share it with people I work with and my family, but they were NOT allowed to breathe a word about the top secret Father's Day Photo Sessions. But, I received a text yesterday that said, it was no longer a surprise - She had to share the beautiful pictures with her husband. Phewww.... NOW I can share! Thanks Nicole! I was having a hard time containing myself!! ;)
Justin - Happy Father's Day, early! ;)
I shop online a lot... too much (my family thinks I have a problem). I purchased a few items from a gentleman that lived near by. I mentioned that I was going to paint this fabric chair I bought from him :) (Can't wait to try it.... I will let you know how it goes)! And then, I would use it for my photography sessions. So, a few weeks later he contacted me about doing something for his Wife's birthday. They have a new baby and a little guy and he thought it would be special to have a photo session of just Mom and her boys.
They turned out so lovely... It melts my heart. There is a special bond between a Mama and her boys; it is near and dear to my heart for sure!
Have I said lately that I love this photography business? I do!
And, it's because of the clients. I get to meet beautiful, wonderful people, like the Strait family. They have 2 children, and they are as adorable as they are sweet! Lilly, who is turning 3 this weekend was an angel. She sat and smiled and was the most cooperative 3 year old I have ever photographed - And her pictures are beautiful. And Walter, he had me cracking up with all of his silly poses - I could have hung out with them all day!
Without further ado, The Strait Family!
I am never able to look at bugs the same way. My Mom and nephew Benson love them... seriously, they LOVE bugs. Mom loves spiders and Benson loves scorpions. Actually, Benson loves all cool looking creatures. But, bugs are his favorite. He may be on a path to be an Entomologist. He knows the names of them all, before too long he will be spouting out scientific names to us. He LOVES Bug Wars - or Monster Bug Wars.... the show where they teach who is the coolest bug is and why. If his Mom and Dad would let him, he would keep every cool creatures he finds. He always has a new one to educate us about - I love the information he gives and he does it with such enthusiasm - real true excitement. I love that about him.
Benson is also very mild natured. Calm, polite, and very sensitive to others feelings. And, would ya look at those eyes!
She is absolutely precious, both by her beauty and her good nature. She was very cooperative and took lovely photos.
Keep scrolling to see more pictures of her! She will also join the other adorable little ones in the Tiny Smiles section of the Gallery.

This is Macey Moo.
She is my beautiful niece.
She LOVED her toads that were found in the flower bed at Grandma's house on Mother's Day. This also happened to be two days before she turned 4. These were the last days she would still be considered a 'toddler'. As of yesterday, she is 4. Next year at this time we will be talking to her about Kindergarten.
Where does time go? It seems like yesterday she was still in her Mama's belly. But, here she is - not yet school age, but no longer a toddler. I miss that - her toddler days. I know they aren't gone but slowly everyday she will get a little older. And, all that will be left will be memories of our 'use to be toddler'.
There are a few characteristics that really stand out about Macey. First is the obvious, she is adorable. Second, her completely stubborn nature. Our family jokes and teasers her - we egg her on to see her "as a matter of fact" attitude. Her Aunt Zie nicknamed her the "Brut". And, it fits. :) She is so head strong. She does everything on her terms.
But, her stubbornness is completely out weighed by her love and innocence. She has a smile that lights up a room. And a hug that warms your heart.
I was going to wait and post these tomorrow.... but, in typical Megan fashion, I am too excited not to share :) I had a perfect weekend of pictures - We had to delay a bit to wait for the dark clouds to pass but, I am so glad we did. I got two fantastic sessions in... and, they turned out just lovely. Check out Courtney's Senior Smiles Session and below ... I can hardly find words to describe the UNBELIEVABLE cuteness you are about to experience... There are no words. With every image - I shook my head and smiled. THOSE EYES!! Seriously? - every image.
The funny part - The little adorable sweetie has been known to be difficult to get her picture taken... You would never know - she did just beautifully!
And the little fella - Well, I could have edited for days - every image was adorable. You will see what I mean... scroll and ENJOY! ;)

Where does the time go? Just shy of 2 months ago - I photographed this little darling:
NOW she is laughing and making noises and is just as happy as she could be. You have to see all of her beautiful smiles in the Gallery. Her Nana was there to to encourage laughing and playing (so Mom and Dad could get some rest)! We had a great time and got some beautiful smiles to show off her 3 month self!

This is LB's Easter / Spring 2012 Pictures. As I was going through doing the editing and I couldn't help but fall in love with every single one. Maybe it is just the little man in them, but each one is seriously adorable!! He is my heart.
Check out more pictures of LB in the Gallery under Holidays and Minis.
