and above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

More of this little guy to come....
Carter charmed me from the get go (here and here) with his tiny, yet oh-so expressive face. It's incredible to see how much he has grown in just 6 months, but thankfully those precious eyes are still the same... holding wonder, happiness, and even somewhat of a pondering look at times. And I love, love, love how the expressions of little Carter's eyes are so purely reflected in the delight of his parent's faces.
every last one of these are A+! he is full of presiousness...

(10.07.09 @ 09:59 PM)I did have my own moment of, oh-my-goodness-I-can't-believe-she-is-already-ONE, when I had a session with little Adelaide. We've done a few sessions with her since she was born, but this was wild because she seems so much like a little girl and some of her spunky personality that we saw, even when she was a tiny baby, is coming to life even more! This girl wants to run, explore, and play. So that is what we did, and I treasured the time with her and her all-star parents.
those are adorable! good outfit choices emily!! i love the one of you and ben looking at adelaide. great job, amy!

Hello to the Summers family. 2 grandparents. 3 sons. 2 daughter-in-laws. 5 grandkids. Whew!
I will go ahead and confess that there is a certain level of craziness when trying to contain and photograph this many people, but it doesn't bother me because there is a beauty in the chaos of a family being together and interacting... loving each other. And yes, we captured all the various family groupings, but the images that I love most are those moments in-between.... the moments when they are just being themselves. The giggles, hugs, talking, snuggling, playing, and running. These are the moments I believe that we should cling to in the midst of the "busy-ness" of life, and I always feels a distinct sense of privilege when I'm welcomed to capture those moments. Those moments are the ones that I want to fill my camera and cover the walls of my home.
The Summers family is special because I have known them for years, and grown up alongside their youngest son, Daniel. They have loved on me, welcomed me into their home, and prayed for me through all kinds of phases and stages of my life. I'm so thankful for the friendship that I've enjoyed, and the best part is that I know that it will continue through many more phases and stages of life. There's nothing quite like a beautifully aged friendship.
Wow... These pictures came out awesome!
