My wild girls are back!  Yeaaa!  We have photographed Laurel and Heather several times a year for the past three years and it never ceases to amuse me.  These little ladies are as wild as their red hair and they come up with some of the funniest things you have ever heard!  Once you throw Mattie in the mix, its like one wild tornado– and I love it.  I look forward to all of their visits and their wild, contagious silliness!

I am always shocked when babies finish their Watch Me Grow plans.  A year can pass sop quickly!  For Ellena and her family its a bit different.  I can’t believe I have only known them a year!  It feels like I have been photographing them forever!    Hopefully I will get to continue photographing their wild and crazy antics as Ellena and big brother Ky get big!

This week marked the end of the Watch Me Grow plan with the Miller family and I just want to cry!  Camden is a perpetual cutie with those giant blue eyes and he always gives me the best smiles.  I am so excited for him to become a big brother and to be able to keep up with this awesome family in the years to come!

How fun was the Pellino family!?  They came into the studio this week for a family portrait and I have to admit, little Mr. R kept me moving!  He is one little ball of energy!  Its definitely a great thing that his dad is the same way! Now, if mom can just get them to wear each other out, she would be golden! 

YEA!  Anna Grace turned 1!  We celebrated the big birthday with a portrait session at Maclay Gardens, but really, it was just a chance for Anna Grace to flirt with Olyn.    The funniest part is that she is a pretty darn good flirt, too!  With a bat of those long lashes and a flip of her adorable red curls, I swear she could move mountains!

I learned this week that a pair of curly pigtails can absolutely melt your heart.  Miss Avery is adorable beyond words and she is another one of our Watch Me Grow graduates!  How she turned a year old without me realizing, I will never know!

I swear Miss M is a true Southern Belle.  She has is a total daddy’s girl, a shameless flirt, she wears her peal necklace and bracelet and even though she doesn’t have words yet, she babbles at 100 miles per hour!  She goes on just like she is telling you all the juicy gossip about everyone in town!  In other words, she is the best kind of girl you could ever know!

It’s always sad to come to the end of a Watch Me Grow plan, but when it also means that the family is moving away, it’s just heart breaking.  For the Welch’s final portrait in Tallahassee, we went to probably the most photographed Tallahassee landmark– Maclay Gardens.  I loved getting to photograph the entire bunch this last time before they leave and I wish them lots of love and luck as they move home to Alabama!
