Sweetest sleepy baby boy. His parents already have their pictures but I just had to post some of him. His huge smile melts my heart. His dad has a small obsession with shoes/watches, so it was really fun to incorporate that into his baby boys pictures. This couple was so fun to work with.

His dad bought him this watch to give him when he graduates. How sweet is that?

Excuse me.

Sorry about the unexpected shut down of the blog, I hope you are all okay……I was laughing so hard at all the mayday emails coming in from so many people! It makes me so happy that you missed it while it was down! There’s work still going on but it will be done soon and I am so excited. So please excuse any unfinished business, and somehow I will catch up on all the posts I need to do. We are in St. George for the holiday weekend and Mandy is smack dab in the middle of moving to a new province (she lives in Canada if you didn’t know) so we are both taking a break from emails until Tuesday morning. Well she’s kind of crazy so she’ll probably find a way to answer them, she can’t stand a full inbox. She’s hilarious and all organized and stuff.

Anyways. Saylor. She’s a little bit cute. If you didn’t know.

FAVORITE headband from Whippy Cake. It’s the sunset soiree on the 2.5″ cream lace. FAVORITE I tell ya.

Tomorrow!

I have so much to post but I’m so tired that I’m dropping everything to hit the sack. I just wanted to remind you all of the BIG HUGE Matilda Jane Party, here at my house….Wednesday from noon-3pm!! Go to THIS LINK and make your wishlist and send it to ashleea@matildajaneclothing.com to make sure you get everything you want. You can fine tune it at the party. I’m so excited! I’ll post more on Tuesday night.

This is from last season’s Hammond Bay, but still. How cute! More of these DARLING five year old twins to come…..

Alexa, Blake, Mallory & Britton

I am posting FAR too many pictures but it was impossible to just pick a few. These GORGEOUS kids from California were just too fun and too cute. They were so easy to take pictures of, and I know I say that a lot but these kids were BEYOND photogenic, if that’s possible. Their mom Allison came with schloads of Matilda Jane Clothes, I was screaming inside as she pulled out outfit after outfit PLUS she MADE the cutest accessories that matched perfectly. Talk about being prepared! But all her hard work getting her kids ready for pictures was well worth it…look at the result!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Are you dying yet? You should be dead from this cuteness.

Kittens!

Okay so I was going to keep them all. We have a HUGE yard and lots of mice, so I figured I could just keep all five kitties. I don’t want to give them away, I am a huge animal lover and the thought of someone not taking care of an animal just really makes me so sad but mostly MAD. Anyways, they are hiding under our cars in the garage and I am terrified that they are going to get run over or something, there’s so many to keep track of. Plus six cats eat a lot of food, so we’ve decided to keep two of the kittens and give the other three away. So if you’d like to take one of these sweet kitties and give them lots of love and a good home, you can pry it from my fingers and have one.

PS I have brought them into my studio COUNTLESS times to get smiles and cooperation out of little ones. And you’ll be seeing some pictures of kids holding them, since I usually have to make a deal with them!

This little black one has white tipped fur, she is the CUTEST! Her name is TIPSY.

Tipsy, Sil, Vester, Dora the Explorer and Salty Peppa/Smokey………names that occur when kids are in charge.

They are mostly outdoor cats, but they are litter trained and my kids bring them in the house and play with them all the time. I usually have at least one on my lap while I edit. They are just so cuddly and warm. They are all female. My kids have decided to keep the gray one and the little black one. Anyways, if you are interested, just send me an email!

Addison, Carter & Kendal

I have been taking pictures of these three since Addison was a newborn. They moved to Seattle for a while but they still came back for pictures…they don’t have to do that anymore since they live here now! I just love their mom, she is so easy going and tells me to do whatever with them. That makes it fun and easy for me!

Ellie, Ben & Luke

Wow I can’t believe how much I’m getting done with the kids in school, Saylor down for one of her long 5 hour naps and Maguire playing with a friend. Looks like I can finally start editing from noon-3 pm instead of midnight-3 am! You don’t know how excited I am about that! Anyways, just getting caught up on posting, so here’s another beautiful family! Three beautiful, cooperative kids, you just never know what you’re going to get with a 3 year old, 21 month old and a two week old. They all had these beautiful long eyelashes, lucky kids!

Jenevi

skye johansen — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:03:08 +0000

Little Jenevi was a little over three weeks old and did what a baby that age normally does…..just hangs out looking around! It took quite a while for her to finally fall asleep, but she did pretty good once she did! She was so darn cute awake though!

Alexandria

skye johansen — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:46:00 +0000

Alex looks exactly like a little doll. She didn’t really smile for me, but she is just so cute she didn’t need to. She look EXACTLY like her daddy but has her momma’s lips. What a perfect combination!

Cameron & first day of school!

This tiny little guy was so good for me. He slept all the way through his session, only opening his eyes for a picture with his sweet mommy. It took his parents a long time to have him, I could see how loved and special this little boy is.

I have more pictures ready to post, but it was an exhausting day getting these kidlets off to school for their first day. Jace described it as, “the worst day of my life” Apparently the school has some construction going on so they put the 1st graders into a temporary room that only had a fan and no air conditioning, so the kids were pretty hot. I’m kind of mad that Jace was just sitting there sweating all day! I wouldn’t have put him in all his new duds and sent him in a swimsuit instead.

All ready to go! 15 minutes to spare. I am awesome. Yes green was apparently the color of the day.

My first and second graders!

Oh great, who’s going to break it to Saylor that she isn’t going to school this year. She put food in her lunch box and everything.

At school, so much going on!

Dang it. The moment Saylor realized that Gracie and her aren’t actual twins.
