Miss Sophie Turns One

What a special day for a very special little girl. Miss Sophie turned one yesterday and celebrated in pink and green style with her family and friends. At first she was a little timid to dig into her cake but as soon as everyone turned their attention away from her, she dug right in. After she had enough of the cake she started sharing with her grandpas and anyone else that would let her. My favorite part, her parents asked for toy donations for Toys for Tots instead of birthday gifts. She may not understand it now but she just made Christmas for a number of kiddos. Happy First Birthday Sweetie. It has been a joy watching you grow over the last year and I can't wait for you and the boys to become even better buds. Love you.

A Brave Family

OBP has been on vacation for the past two weeks-that thing called my real-job-the-one-that-helps-pay-the-bills had me super busy and lucky for me this family was willing to wait until today for their shoot. A colleague had her family in from out of town (Nebraska and Western Kansas) and they were ready to put me to the test. It was cold. Check that, it was freezing and we had four kids under 4. Like I said, this family was brave and deserve a huge kuddos for sticking it out! Here is a sneak peek-the rest will be up a little later.
