summer splashes {july 2016}

every once in a while, i spend my day off hauling the kiddos around town with me trying out new locations for photo sessions with clients.  i have been looking for a nice little sandy spot to explore that wouldn't be overrun with other people - and my kids were thrilled to oblige with rock throwing, sand drawing, and the occasional hug-pose.  it's a hard life to be a photographer's kid, but mine seem to handle the pressure mostly well.....

easter (2016)

our easter holiday was spent at my parent's house in grinnell and was full of treats and fantastic company!

it was a tad bit chilly, but the kids didn't let that stop them from having a blast finding eggs in the yard!

blaire took her new roller skates for a spin!

hendrix was the bubble master.....

and both my kids enjoyed some bonding time with their 3 month old cousin, miss cailyn cora!

but, of course, no holiday would be complete without a family selfie!!
