We got these Jones Sodas for the kids’ birthdays. They thought it was so cool that it had their very own picture on the front. They begged to drink their special pop on the new patio.
For those of you who participated in our Summer Mini Sessions ~ If you receive the Master Blaster Package, you will get a free 6 pack of Jones Soda with your image on the front! A personal message can be placed on the bottle like you see above. Be thinking of what message you would like on yours. 
At the beginning of the summer, I had asked Tater to help fix our deck. With 3 little kids at home, I knew I probably wouldn’t be getting out much, so I wanted a little area that I could take the kids out to play. Our old deck was a splintery mess, so we really never used it. The front yard was also a problem. I would get the kids all situated with their toys… before I knew it, I had to run in quick for a kleenex, run in to help somebody go potty, run in to grab a burp rag, run in to… you get the picture. Well, when I needed one little thing, we ALL would come in (so no one would wonder off or go in the street). As you can imagine, we were in and out a lot.
Well, our summer project is now complete! What you see below is the finished product of our new outdoor space. I love it! Tater not only built me a new deck (splinter free!), but we also added on a patio by Concrete Evolutions and window well screens (so the kids don’t fall in) with a stone wall. We also decided at the end to add a bamboo fence for privacy and wind control.
The kids are enjoying our new outdoor living space too. We put up baby gates on the deck for the times that I do need to go in and out, in and out, and in and out… But this time I don’t have to take everyone in and out with me - AAH! 
The party lights that hang above add a special mood to our area in the evenings. We are so thankful, and truly have been enjoying these beautiful summer nights. God is so good!
In fact, we aren’t the only ones enjoying this new space… We got some little feathered friends who are also taking advantage of it. Notice our new little friend “Mr. Owl” (whom I’m bound to get rid of one of these days). He is out there to scare the birds away.

We had to post a bit more from this session. She is so energetic and fun… it was so uplifting and great to be around. In fact, if we had her energy, the landscaping and deck we are currently working on would be completed within one day!
Love her. Can you say ADORABLE!?!
Thank you to all who took part in our urban mini sessions. We had so much fun. Part of the proceeds went to benefit the Midwest Food Bank. We hope to do another mini session when things slow down a bit. Not sure when that will be. ;) We thank you for your participation! ♥

We were so excited when this family booked for the mini session… because they are family. We can’t get enough of our niece and nephews. They are so fun, so sweet, and we love them so much!

These two were an absolute joy to work with. Their kind and sweet demeanor was so great to be around. Their inner beauty definitely matches these great images of them.

Here are some stylin’ brothers that we got to photograph during the urban sessions. Lovin’ the ties and the hair.

Our urban mini sessions took place last Saturday. We woke up to the sound of rain and thunder. Thankfully the sun did come out. In our next few posts we will feature some of our favorites.
This little girl was a blast to photograph. Her spunkiness, bright and shining personality, and beautiful grin just lit up our cameras.
