August Children's Mini Sessions Part I {Sneak Peek}

Saturday morning, Rachel helped me get ready for my first Children's mini sessions of the year.  We had fun putting the set together outside and anxiously waiting for our young clients to arrive.  Zeke's four beautiful children arrived ready to play in our tent, have a little pretend tea, and devour some cupcakes.  Here are just a few photos from their session:

And then it was time for these two little sisters.  They weren't quite sure about taking pictures at first....

 But, then we started playing and they forgot all about the camera:

 And even gave me a smile or two that just melted my heart:

 And who can resist a precious one and her blankie?  Oh, so sweet!   Please, don't be in a hurry to grow up too fast!  And always hold on to your blankie.

I'll tell you a little secret.  We have two very special blankies that belonged to two very special girls who are growing much too quickly tucked away in a special place at our house. They were once dearly loved blankies too.

That's all for now. I'll try to post more soon...but I have to get ready for my first day of the 2011-2012 school year.  And my baby starts high school tomorrow!  And then there is that thing I don't like to talk  about called we are taking our Rachel to college on Tuesday.  {Sob!}  There will be lots of joy mixed with tears as we watch our daughter unfold a new and exciting chapter in her precious life.
