Saturday I got to spend some quality time with each of the kids individually. Nick in the morning and Sarah in the afternoon. Nick and I volunteered at our local Autism walk....he begged me not to take pictures of him, but of course I snapped a few....My job was to walk around with my camera and snap photos of kids and their families as well as teams of people that raised money for the cause....so you know I was loving every minute of that. When we got home, there were over 200 pictures to be processed, so I am still working on them and hope that in the next day or two, I will be able to post a few of my favs and finally get some pictures of Nick up on the blog!!
That afternoon, Nick went to a friends house to play, so Sarah and I went to the park. When I pulled in I was so excited to see that the Bluebells were finally starting to bloom.....there is a gigantic field and they are sprouting up everywhere!! Sarah took off as soon as she saw them and began picking flowers.
This set of pics might be my all time favorite. Sorry there are so many...I couldn't choose, so I am posting them all.....she was full of expression Saturday afternoon!!

He loves me, He loves me not.....
I have a secret....
Angel eyes!
Angel eyes!
I missed my family while I was gone and am so happy to be back home. We had such a nice, simple weekend hanging out together.....It was just what I needed after a long week away!! We spent a majority of our weekend outdoors and even fired up the grill for the first time this season.
It is safe to say that Spring has finally arrived....everything is in bloom and the temperature is climbing....Summer is just around the corner and I CANNOT wait!!
Hope you all had a Happy Monday!
Hope you all had a Happy Monday!

These are probably my fav. pics of Sarah, too. The lighting is perfect! What an angel she is. Great job on these images. PRINT THEM OFF : ) Ha ha!
Sounds like your weekend was just what the doctor ordered!!! You must have had a great time snapping away to your heart's content! How nice you volunteered your time...Autism is such a worthwhile cause...well done!!!
Oh, these photas are beyond gorgeous. (I'm a painter and I actually felt an ache with the close-up, the last one, and the third.) They are truly exceptional pictures. Congratulations.
Cheers,

I am with everyone else -- these might be my favorite pictures of Sarah yet. Everything is picture perfect -- her dress, the flowers and the hairband! She is beyond adorable!
Hope you have a great week!

Oh my gosh! These pics are GORGEOUS! The one of Sarah in the field is breathtaking!
These are absolutely beautiful! A perfect setting for a pretty girl - you are fortunate to have a field of bluebells nearby!
That's great that you and Nick volunteered at the Autism clinic!
I love the pictures. The field of bluebells is quite a stunning background! So jelous, our grass is not even green yet!
Oh, I love these. So cute on so many levels!
Sarah looks like the perfect model.
I'm super jealous of the flowers and all the color you get.
Sue : )
Love all the wonderful bright colors ~ what a fun weekend of relaxing and enjoying your family.

What great pictures, I couldn't have picked either. She is so darn cute, I dont know how you ever pick!
I hope one day to be able to take pictures half as good as you.
What a gorgeous location for a photo shoot. Sarah looks adorable. She has the cutest little pout.
And what a great way to lend your talents to the Autism walk. I'm sure you got some great shots.
Lisa,
Those are just beautiful pictures - the lighting is perfect and the flowers make a gorgeous backdrop. Sarah is such a great little model for you - she looks adorable.
As you know, my family has been affected by autism, so kudos to you for volunteering!
Have a great week!

What a wonderful way to spend the day with Nick. Your pictures just make me feel like I'm sitting in a field of bluebells! Beautiful!
Your photos are beautiful! I love the colors. Sarah looks lovely!
These are just beautiful! These look like Texas bluebonnets.....she is just beautiful among them.
LOVE the bluebell shots!! Sarah is just beautiful!
We went to an East Meets West Conference this weekend, it was fantastic! They are hopful that for us new folks getting logged in, our wait time will decrease....but we will see....
Have a great week!
Just beautiful. My favorite one is the 3rd one down...Sarah with a field of flowers. Man are you good!
You said you used photoshop and lightbox? What to you think of powerpoint(I have that)? Or which of the first two do you like best? They are expensive. You could go into business taking photos!
Those photo's are GORGEOUS!! WOW! I'm so impressed! You are so lucky to have spring. Our snow is melting rapidly and it will be 80 on Thursday, so our Spring is on the way.
Lisa, I can honestly say these are YOUR BEST EVER!!!! They are AWESOME! Fabulous work. What a beautiful setting you had to photograph Sarah in! I love that big flower in her hair. She is such a cutie. :)
Did you use Lightroom for these, or PS?
Just lovely.
How could you possible choose a picture to frame. So many great shots!!!!
OK I just did some catch-up reading... the neighbors with the Christmas decorations... OH MY WORD. Cracking up. :) Did they take them down yet??
I am swooning over every last one of these images!!!!!!
Hope all is well with you my far away friend and life is finding you smiling!
Lovin the bluebells.

Hi Lisa, Shawn and I went to visit the Bluebells here in England too tody!! And they were magical!!
I LOVE your photos and envy your growing photoshop knowledge as your photos look stunning!!
Lots of Love
Jules

Carrie
Beautiful pictures!!!!! I can't wait for the warmer weather! It's finally getting nice out and I love being outside.
Love the flower headband in Sarah's hair! I am going to definitely make some flowers headbands and clips especially since the MJ clothes have arrived. I need to dress Katie up after the philly workshop so I can practice my photo skills!
Jen
Beautiful!!!!!! Love all the pictures.
I did get your email. We can catch up next week...have a fun time this weekend. Looking forward to talking to you.
What beautiful pictures of a beautiful girl!
OH my Gosh! A field of bluebells! These pics of Mini are my favorite of all time....so far ;O)
LISA!!! Wow. No wonder you could not choose. this is why I love mom photography. You have an eye for your daughter's moods and beauty that a stranger may not catch and hold as well as you have.
Lisa...
These pictures are positively stunning...some of your best ever. Who am I kidding...ALL of your pictures are the best ever!
Sarah is just gorgeous!
How stunning!!!!
what peace you must have enjoyed together, just resting in the woods

i'm sure your precious family is glad to have mommy home.
the bluebell images are incredible. i think they are my most fave too
you have such a great eye
xo
Lisa,
The pictures are beautiful. They keep getting better and better.
Laura
Oh Lisa these pictures are absolutely gorgeous!!!
Love, Kristy
So glad I ran across your blog today. I have a feeling your going to be one of my favorite reads. Your children and photography are so BEAUTIFUL.
GORGEOUS!
These are my favorite too! I immediately thought bluebonnets-I wonder if they are the same. It's the state flower of Texas. People will risk their lives pulling onto the side of the road to take pictures in the bluebonnets. I have my picture in them from every year when I was little, unfortunately we don't them here so no bluebonnet pictures for Landree. Sarah's expressions are perfect and I love her headband and outfit! SO CUTE!
Holy canoli those pics are amazing! The funny thing is that I HATE the bluebells in my yard. As far as I am concerned they are awful weeds. But in a field, for pics... I'm all over that!
I am loving all those blue bells... wish they had those here in Florida...
Sorry it has been a while since visiting... life has been super crazy...
Of course photography is taking over too... hahaha
Oh my goodness! I would love to come to a workshop. I live in Souderton, in Montgomery county. Is that close to you?
I love your pictures. They are always so magical and perfect.
That little girl of yours is just edible! What nice background with the flowers. Glad you got to spend a nice quiet weekend after being away. I can't wait for summer either!
