the B family

What a dreamy location!  I only just discovered Clarksburg since the B family moved here recently.  Their beautiful new/old home is nestled in among the vineyards, only an hour away! The girls entertained themselves (and us!) by sneaking the unripe grapes, only to pucker up soon after.  Caught in the act!

The L family

I had so much fun planning this session with mom L.  She even managed to find a stylin’ beach cruiser!  So jealous…I keep waiting for my husband to come home and surprise me with one!  

After the rain ruined our plans a few weekends in a row, we finally got out one gorgeous evening and played!

Baby Z

Boy oh boys!  This poor mama is outnumbered yet again.  Introducing handsome Baby Z.  This little guy can sleep through anything…having two older brothers I suppose you’d have to!  No complaining here, definitely made my job easier!   

Thanks Poots Little Creations for the sweet dino beanie!

ASYCC 2nd Annual Prom Expo and Fashion Show

Jenn’s not the only one who got backstage to a fashion show this February!  Allyn Scott Youth and Community Center held their 2nd Annual Prom Expo and Fashion Show on the 25th.  Students from 7 local high schools braved the runway to raise money for ASYCC programs.  Don’t you love when fashion and goodwill team up?   

A HUGE thanks to these businesses…

Makeup: Sara Nichols and Sheri Braun, Arbonne Consultants

Hair: Monica Burch of Bliss Salon

Dresses: David’s Bridal and JCPenney

My hardworking pal Esperanza Arellano, President of the Allyn Scott Youth & Community Center Board of Directors and I, enjoying ourselves a little too much!

For some of the girls who finished up quickly from hair and makeup, we went outside for a few shots.  Time only allowed for 3 of the girls but I’m so glad we did!  I’ll have to admit this was one of my favorite moments of the night.
