clean ~ simple ~ fresh...

playing in the rain...

Cole in all his glory :-)  Nothing like going out in all your rain gear to get some fresh air.  Had to cancel a shoot today due to the rain but that didn't stop us from doing a few pictures tonight at the House of Jones :-)...

beautiful inside and out...

I met this young lady at the Kittery Outlets about a week or so ago to do a little photo shoot.  I was not going to post pictures till mom found out about the surprise.  Mom knows now so I think it is safe to show you too :-)...  I had such a good time and she was a dream to photograph.  Such a natural beauty, she is an amazing singer  but I couldn't get a song out of her - just some amazing humming (someday I'll hear those pipes)...  until then...meet K...

eight is great...

After 4 long years of watching Cole's games and practices...  Landon finally gets to play TBall.  He has only had practice so far but is so excited to be part of a team.  He loves his coaches!  Thinks they are "GREAT."  He actually asked his mom to take pictures of him today in his new team shirt - well..  it took me about 2 seconds to throw on my slippers and head outside :-)  Here is Mr Jones in all his glory - he will be the first to tell you "EIGHT IS GREAT!!!!!!!"  I agree...

His team is the FREDSOX...  Cute or what?!!!

cousins...friends

I went to NH on Friday night to capture these two.  I have known J's mom since we were in H.S. and was at his baby shower about 10 years ago.  He is getting so big.  FOURTH GRADE and excited that school vacation is next week :-)  Little Miss M is his new cousin (soon to be one) that adores him.  She lights up with everything he does.  Here are a couple from our session...

a couple more of sweet little baby C...

and this was Landon putting on his big brother's hat today.  He is insisting he is wearing to to all of his soccer games this year...  he is starting T-ball :-)  Starts tomorrow and should be about the cutest thing in the world to watch...my little man...

Have a great night guys ~ Tra

sand in our toes... FINALLY :-)...

Those who know me know I am a total beach bum.  The boys and I spend many days and nights there in the summer.  The only thing that would make this night perfect is if we had Bennett's Subs - YUMMY!!!  Best subs in the universe!

This was an exciting night - many firsts...  it was our first time to the beach this year, Hunny's first time to the beach ever...  and Little Mr. C's very first time to the beach as well.  You also know by now I had my camera on standby waiting to capture this fun night!

Here are a couple of the boys and Hunny - I hope she figures out that you aren't suppose to EAT the sand :-)...

It was a great first beach day!

NOW...  Here is Mr.C checking out the beach for the first time ever... and we were there to share the excitement!  ...  I LOVED this outfit!!!!  Little alligators on the shirt and the matching hat - can it get any cuter than this???

Thank you so much D&M for the sweet treats!  The boys had such a good time!  I'll be thinking of you while I'm at the gym...  he he he!  Have a great night ~ Tra

finger paint fun in the sun...

YEAH!!!!  Today when we came home it was so warm outside - FINALLY!!!  The shirts came off and the paints came out.  What a blast!  Check out who else also got into the fun :-)  Hunny...she also spent her afternoon laying on the only mound of snow left in the yard.  I can not wait till it melts and the grass turns green...

enjoy the sunshine and have a great night...  tra

relaxing in sunny North Carolina...

What an amazing weekend...  staying up till all hours with my aunt and cousin and sleeping in with no alarm clock in sight  :-)  It was warm and sunny and I didn't have a care in the world.  I was the only one that got a sunburn on Saturday...  what is up with that???  I have not had a burn in forever!  I don't recommend it! 

It was a blast showing up and surprising my aunt at work.  My flight was canceled and I didn't tell her I was able to get another flight.  My cousin picked me up and we headed to her work to surprise her.  It was quite the surprise.  I recommend everyone trying it at least once.   It was fun :-)  I showed up carrying a vase of flowers and hid behind them till I got to her desk.  I have never seen anyone jump out of their chair so fast in my life... 

Here are a couple pics of my cutie pie cousins I took while there...  I can't wait to get back in Sept/Oct to capture their twin sisters/brothers :-)  Fun, fun...

Studly Mr G...  check out those dimples...

check out the super cool pirate tattoo...

this was taken at the airport as I was waiting to see if I was going to get a seat...  thanks for being such a good sport buddy - you were awesome!  see you soon, take care of those cool boots!...

The sun was out and spring was in the air...  I snapped these today while we were playing in the yard...
