Aloha from Aspen.

We had so much fun visiting our old friends from Hawaii, the Naivalu's, at their new home in Aspen. They have 3 boys too, so we were a very energetic bunch!!

Here are the older boys. . . betcha can't guess which ones belong to me. . . hardie har har!

Cousin Love.

It was such a blast to shoot this fun mini-session of Richie's cousin Shelly and her darling little family! Check out their teaser (from FOREVER ago) here. Love you Shelly!!

Aunty D.

Every child deserves another adult, beyond mom and dad, to show a keen interest in them. For Cardon and Lincoln that's Aunty D. The most amazing part is that she doesn't reserve said affection for my children alone. . . Aunty D loves ALL children EVERYWHERE. She helps them feel safe, loved and secure, always, and in everything. Today, let's all be a little more like Aunty D, and reach out in love to the children around us.

Happy Birthday Raleigh!

Happy Birthday to you my Raleigh boy.
You have brought your daddy and I so much joy!
I love you so much and in every way.
Happy, happy day to you.

xoxo,

Mom

Cardie Boy.

Ignore that pole growing out of his head and just enjoy my beautiful little Cardon's smile! Gosh I love this kid! What a great way to start the week!

I Love Jenny.

Let me tell you a little bit about my sister Jennifer. She is the best aunt ever. And today, is her birthday. We love you so much Aunt Jenny! Happy happy birthday to you!

May Day Lei.

We gave Raleigh a trophy and a lei to celebrate his May Day performance and he wanted to go put them on Unkie Gavin's grave.

Craft Time at the County Fair.

Well no, not literally at the County Fair. Do they even really have those? Mystery.

Shadow.

Look who shadowed me at Nate and Sam's reception Sat. . . Oh and just FYI. . . Nate and Sam are friends of ours, Raleigh was INVITED to the wedding.

To all my brides and grooms to be,
I will not bring my 4 year old along to shoot with me at your wedding.
Just FYI.

My Cardon.

I love this little man so much. It's not my favorite thing that he yells everything he says at the top of his lungs... but ringing ears is a small price to pay for all the wonderous wonderousness he brings into our home! I love you Cardon!

My Lovely Yesterday: Part II.

My Lovely Yesterday: Part I.

Life's Good.

Daddy's Boys.

My hubby really is quite the photographer. Which makes me really excited, because I secretly envy all my photog friends with their hubby/wife photography teams. I'm totally going to buy that boy a camera and drag him along. I love having such a talented man as my best friend.

Coleman Lavin.

This is my little nephew Coleman Lavin. I got to visit him last month when I was in town for WPPI. He is perfect. Completely. I love you Cole!

Up and Coming.

Be sure and check out Raleigh Norton's new photography blog. I'm so excited to see more work from this up and coming artist!!

Mom. . . er Natalie
