She's 4!

I can't believe it! My little Natalie is 4 years old!

I still remember being pregnant and people stopping me and telling me to enjoy every minute with her because time will fly by..and yep, it sure has!

Natalie is such a blessing! I can't picture life without her, she has changed our lives and made it worth living for.

God gave us a special gift when he put her in our lives. She is very entertaining, such a girly girl and of course she thinks she is a princess. If it was up to her she would be in a princess dress from sunrise to sunset!

We had a little impromtu photo session after her preschool class a few days before her birthday. She did good and smiled for me and all I had to do was promise her a handful of gummy bears once we got home! lol..I let her do her thing and be her.

Happy 4th Birthday sweet girl! I love you!

My little Snow White

Finally a day she can be Snow White all day long...

Every single day she wakes me up and asks if she can where a princess dress.
Even at her preschool they have a dress up area and every time she goes she is princess Barbie.

She is just a typical little girl...dreams of being a princess.

She always tells me.."Mama, you're the Queen and I'm the Princess" ..at least she has that right! lol..

So this year was fun taking her around town dressed up. She got smiles from everyone we passed.
First at storytime at the library, the Farmer's Market and then the grocery store. She was the center of attention..and she loved it.

We pass by these fruit trees almost everyday so I wanted to have a little spur of the moment photo session with little Miss Snow White.

It was perfect and she did good (mostly because she got to suck on that lollipop!).

When we were at the grocery store a little old lady stopped us and was commenting on how cute Natalie looked, then she went on to tell me about how when she was a kid she watched Snow White when it first came out in theaters in the 1930's. She said her parents would just drop off their children so they could go run errands and she would be there for hours watching it 2 or 3 times and would know all the songs and dances by the time their parents came to pick them up.

 

 

Happy Harvest!

Day of the Dead style photo session

My little sister and her boyfriend are so fun. 

They asked if I would take photos of them and of course I said yes!

And then they said they wanted the photos to be Day of the Dead style...

I thought this would be interesing. I don't know a whole lot about Day of the Dead but with the these two I knew it would be a little adventure.

And it was.

They are super cute and in love..and a little mushy. :)

The photos came out great, their makeup came out so cool (by the way.. I did my sissy's makeup...my rhinestone collection came in handy! lol).

It actually started to drizzle a little bit, in some of the pics you can see some of the rain drops which looks cool with the whole theme. Luckily it didn't pour down..that would have been bad with all that makeup! lol

Ok here's just a few of my favorites, it was hard to pick..

Family Photos with the Garcia Family

My lovely sister in law is expecting baby #3. She's never gotten maternity photos taken, so I told her I HAD to do them for her. :)

Her girls are so sweet.

We had a blast spending time in this big grassy field as the sun was setting.

I can't wait to meet this little one!
