{My little guy turned "5"}

My little man turned 5 this week and we had a lot of fun leading up to his party!  He is the youngest of my three and definitely has a little personality. We have a daughter who is 14 and son who is 10.  We thought we had one of each sex and had the perfect family.  As our 10 year old was approaching Kindergarten we realized we were not quite done :-)  Chase has been such a fun child on so many levels.  Being older and more comfortable in our parenting has made it so much easier to parent him. He has brought so much laughter and joy to our family.  As my grandmother always tells me "He is the best gift we could have given our family" and it is such the truth!  My middle son had a tournament last weekend up in Blissfield,Michigan and I took the opportunity to do a photo shoot with my little guy for his 5th birthday photos.  He was a trooper and we had fun exploring the area.  A really cool little town. We had his first friend party this year and he loved it!  I might have spent a little to much time on pinterest in preparation for his party.  That darn pinterest, who came up with it!!! I have enjoyed every minute of being Chase Andrew's mommy!!! 

Awesome Used Book Store right around the corner!

I have been wanting to stop by this used book store for quite some time since my friend had told me about it.  It is so unique and had so much to offer.  Their selection of books is HUGE!  Not only were there a ton of books to look through, the prices are phenomenal.  They have plenty of sitting areas and even a coffee set up.  If you have children their kid area was a lot of fun to be in and had a train table and tunnel to go through.  If you have been looking for a little something to do, I recommend this great spot! On a photography note, I think it would be a lot of fun to do a photo session here!!  A ton of natural light coming in!

They are located on 830 N Westwood Ave  Toledo, OH 43607

Brynn!!! Baby Girl!

I had the opportunity to photograph this little cutie pie!  This was my first time photographing a 3 month old and she was so easy to photograph!  I loved all the cute outfits Mama brought and especially the little bows. So many more cute girl items since my little girl (who is 14) was a baby! Her eyes were just stunning and sparkled in my camera!
