project 52/20 {patterns}

All of creation is filled with pattern, order, and design.

My backyard is no exception.

We planted new knock out rose bushes a couple of weeks ago.

This is the first bloom.

It's going to be a good summer.

hannah, part two.

We took round one of Hannah's senior pictures in the fall.

And then we ran out of light, with a promise to meet again in the spring.
Hannah brought along her friends Nicki and Sara for a few quick shots in Uptown Normal.

I've been Hannah's mentor this year as she wrote her senior paper

which she defended before peers, faculty and administration.

It's been a blessing to chat with her over morning coffee to share ideas and dreams.

(once we were both late for school because we lost track of time!) 

Anyhow...

she is so lovely

and wise

and compassionate.

I'll be watching her.

She'll make a difference wherever she goes.

one day old.

The eggs have hatched.

Baby robins are kinda weird looking.

Just sayin.

catch me if you can.

 I caught him eventually.

But Colin wanted to run!

He has the brightest eyes and cutest little smile!

Hmmm...this is how he looks when he is thinking...

 smooches for mommy...

 and a quiet moment near the end of our session...

project 52/19 {from trees}

 We discovered a little nesting going on in one of our lilac bushes this week.

Mama let me have a few minutes to do a quick photo shoot with her eggs.

Of course, she kept watch while I worked.

I'll be ready for the newborn session when the birdies hatch.

But until then...I'm going to give this little family some privacy.

 

shannen.

We absolutely had a blast taking Shannen's senior pictures.

She brought her mom and friend Alyssa along.

There was never a dull moment, trust me.
Shannen is lovely and was a dream to photograph.

Here's a peek at her session...

So pretty...I love the light on her gorgeous hair.

Awesome shoes.

It makes me happy.
