And I did this.
Don't worry, this is REALLY what AJ did, no diving...
If anyone is wondering, I got Maya's outfit from Gymboree. Gotta love the Panda in the pocket.
Then all hell broke loose...
This was taken just before my poor little girl took a header off the chair. My mom was just to the left of the flowers but didn't catch her in time. My tough little lady came back after tending to a swollen cheek and eyebrow....
Then as I'm holding Maya and a bunny in front of me for a photo of everyone together- AJ points out that the bunny is nibbling on Maya's finger. Her jaw was dropped in full out "bawl mode" and it took her several seconds before she could even make a sound to go along with her cry.
This series of photos followed the animal attack. AJ is so protective of Maya and you can see by his expressions that he was quite displeased with the situation as well.
After all the insane facial expressions, not looking at the camera, wardrobe malfunctions, and injuries, all it takes is just one good shot to make the day worth while.
These are the best smiles I've ever seen out of AJ for the camera.

Little Miss Megan was so cute- lookin' for bunnies. We got lots of great actions shots today :)
That crazy fluffy bunny crawled right over Ashley's back- as if HE were the star! Ha.
Gotta love the bunny pillow!
The reception was held at the lovely Harmony Hall in Middletown.
Ah, the perfect dip!
They sure did enjoy all the kissy shots I had them do, and some I didn't have them do ;)
Mike looked so handsome and Julie looked so happy to be with him. He tried so hard all day long to keep her dress clean and out from under her feet. You could see true dedication on his face, and not just to the dress.
I haven't used a texture layer in quite some time, thought I'd whip out the old trick.
What an awesome day.
Thank you two so much for having me there to capture all the happiness that April 12th brought to you and your families. Congratulations Julie and Mike!
Joanne let me know when she met with me about her wedding that she also wanted some straight forward shots of her and her hubby to be. I met them over my lunch break and took some fun shots of them together- did some poses that you can't do in a dress without messing it.
Somehow, this photo shoot only took us 15 minutes. Amazing.
Ben did a great job picking out a beautiful engagement ring. I'll be getting detailed shots of that in November at the wedding :)
Crossing these rocks was quite a task until Joanne took her heels off! Ben helped her the whole way.
Hitting a tree with a stick, or two.Look Mom.
See how hard I can throw? Andrew starts t-ball tomorrow- I hope to take photos of that one of these upcoming weeks to post those on the blog.
Digging...
for some...
Ants...
"YOU GET OUT OF THERE ANTS!!!!!"
"Pose for one photo with your sister or we'll have to leave right now."
People there must have thought I was crazy lugging around my big camera, taking photos of random stuff- like this.
This past weekend I moved my studio equiptment to Hershey where my parents live to take pictures for a family. My parents are saints- seriously. They would do anything for me- they helped me transport all my stuff, set it up, then break it back down. I don't think the bunnies like my parents' golden retriever though. Mmmm, bunnies. I will be moving my studio back to Hershey on the 19th of April if anyone wants to make an appointment from out that way!
After she gave the bunny some love, she proceded to pick him up by his back and toss him off her lap a good two feet away from her. It was a true love-hate-stayawayfromme relationship.
Kieran and Riley - probably didn't spell either of their names correctly- sorry mom- correct me in a comment and I'll edit the entry ;)
I absolutely loved their matching Easter outfits with the pale orange accent. Riley had the cutest little girl voice as she would shout out that "the bunny is getting away!!!" Kieran was so cute with his sister and wonderfully "lovey" with her. It put a smile on my face. Reminds me why I love what I do.
