Snowed In

The following are a few photos of my kiddos that I got one day while we were just hanging around the house. They were being so funny at lunchtime and then, as we made our way upstairs for naps, the 2 of them were having so much fun together that I just had to capture it. These kids are the reason I get to laugh every single day and I just couldn't love 'em any more than I do!! :)

Giving Thanks...

2010 has been soooo good to me and I feel so fortunate to be able to say that I have experienced more highs than lows in the past year. But of all the good things that have happened, I have to say that my very favorite one was welcoming our beautiful baby boy to our family. For me, the best part about this life is being a mom and a wife, so to have been blessed with another little person to love and to call me "mommy,"  just makes me happy beyond words! Corbin is an absloute joy and has brought so much love and laughter to our lives that I can't even remember what life was like before he came along. He's such an extraordinary little soul and I thank God every day for bringing him to us.

Also, 2010 was when I (with the support from family, friends, and my amazing husband) decided to take the plunge, put myself out there, and take my hobby one step further and I have been so pleasantly surprised since. Every time someone has approached me it has helped me to count my blessings even more than I did before! It has truly been a joy to be invited into homes and lives to take the photos I have and I want to thank those people from the bottom of my very grateful heart for giving me the chance to do so. It has meant more than I can say :) I look forward to all that lies ahead and hope that 2011 brings you and yours all that you hope and pray for! Happy Holidays :)

Much love, ~Molly~

Mommy & Me

After meeting this peanut, I just fell in love with her! For such a little person, she's so full of personality and I had such a blast hanging out with her and her lovely mother, Christin. Little Miss Leah is the center of her mom's world and they make such a gorgeous pair. Christin, I enjoyed myself so much as we took these and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your warmth and patience! Your daughter is a direct reflection of your love and care and you have much to be proud of :)



Little Women

I've known Lisha and her husband, Will, since before they were Mr. & Mrs. College was where I first met this perfect pair and I'm thrilled that we've been able to reconnect since our college days. I've also had the privilege of spending a little time with their 2 delightful daughters, and was happy to be introduced to their newest addition, little Hannah. This family is not only strong in their love, but in their faith as well, which became evident when they decided to make their dream a reality and opened The Jaffrey Bible House, which is where I met up with them to take these photos. What a lovely store and I encourage anyone looking for religious inspiration or just a desire to explore their faith to pay them a visit. Will & Lish, I wish you all the best and I thank you for allowing me to take these photos for you :)

Just Down The Road

From the moment I walked through the door, this family made me feel at home. Carrie and Aaron and their 2 amazing children were so relaxed and I loved watching how easy it was for them to be themselves. These kiddos just adore their parents and it seemed pretty obvious to me that this is a family who truly enjoys one another... and so did I. I can't thank you enough for allowing me into your cozy home and for making me feel so welcome. I had such a great time with you and I hope these photos bring you smiles :)

2 Boys and a Lilly

This wonderful family welcomed me into their home and the only thing more lovely than the home itself was the family in it. The youngest didn't take long to fall in love with the camera and his sister followed right behind him, posing and asking that I take another picture of her. The eldest, however, was more playful and tried his best to avoid me. They made me laugh the whole time I was with them and I had such a great time. Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your family and I really hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed you all! Happy Holidays :)

 

 

[Love] To Daddy

Sara is a busy mother of 4 and the beloved wife to her army husband. This beautiful family had to say good-bye to their father in September, knowing he'd be gone for the next year as he was being deployed to Kuwait. Their love for one another is apparent and their strength is admirable. These photos were taken at their home as a surprise Christmas present for their loving Daddy so he could see his family waiting for him back home, counting down the "kisses" until they can be together again. You're an extraordinary woman and mother, Sara! And we are all grateful to you, Ryan, for your selflessness and sacrifice in serving our splendid country! Thank you and may God Bless you <3
