So when Jesse walked into her life she knew that at this point in time she was successful at her career, her life, and now it was time to be successful at love. Over the past few years Crystal has not only succeed at her career, but also in loving Jesse and beginning their life together.

He is the world to them, and they are so excited to have Noah take part in their wedding day. In just two short weeks, Jesse and Crystal will feel success once again!

"I Have The Best Life"

Hi my name is Emerson and I am 3 years old. My life is the best and makes me so happy. I want to show you why I am so excited for this year of my life. See, here I am...aren't I the cutest little girl ever?

I am so excited for this year because I have the best mommy and daddy who love each other very much. They love each other so much that they are giving me a baby brother! Isn't that the best thing ever?

This is a picture of the 3 of us. My new baby brother is still inside mommies tummy, although I am not too sure how he is going to get out of there when he is done cooking!

My mom told me that my baby brother has to cook for 9 1/2 months. That is almost one whole year. Did I tell you I am 3 years old? I get to meet my brother in 1 more month!

I am so excited to finally give him real kisses. I talk to him through mommies tummy and send him air kisses when I kiss her belly, and sometimes he even gives me a little kiss back. I know this because mommies belly will move...which is so cool to watch!

Isn't my mommy so beautiful?

My family has so much fun together. We always make each other laugh, and my dad gives me the best rides on his shoulders when he plays with me.

I just realized I never introduced you to my baby brother. His name is Jax! I love it because it is super easy for me to say and I can even spell it on my own now.

I love doing art things, like painting. My mom is the coolest because she actually let me finger paint on her tummy. I had so much fun doing this. I sure don't know many mommies that are this cool!

All done, here is my beautiful picture. What do you think? Do you think Jax will like seeing my first picture I painted for him?

Well, I better go now. Mommy and Daddy want to play with me again and I will never pass that up! It was nice meeting you all!

Side note: Congrats to Erica, Grant, and Emerson on their new baby boy Jax. I am so sorry I am just now getting around to posting your session, but I figured better late than never. I wish you guys all the best with your new little one. He is absolutely adorable!

"I Will Do Anything Just To Make You Smile"

I believe it has been a year since I last saw Miles and I can't believe how much he has grown up. He has turned into quite a good looking little man. He loves the outdoors and all the freedom that comes with exploring this large world. I tried so many things during our time together to make him smile for me, but he was just too interested in all that nature has to offer to even pay the slightest bit of attention to me. I fell in love with his seriousness and eagerness to pretend I was not there. He loved making me work for those priceless smiles he so rarely gave during our time together. But when the smile did come I felt like dropping my camera and jumping for joy. His smile is one that makes your heart melt, and a feeling of complete happiness overflow you. I found myself a number of times dropping my camera and just observing him, trying to figure out what he was thinking about. He is such a complex little guy and so young to have such a mysteriousness to him. I could literally sit at the park and watch him for hours. I think at one point I spent a good 15 minutes straight just watching him as he realized that he could go up and down the play equipment stairs with no hands. You could actually see the accomplishment he felt overcoming this minor obstacle in his life. I think he felt superior knowing it was scaring his parents that he refused to use the bar for safety. My time with Miles really made me realize how I so easily let life's distractions become so overpowering in my life, and at times I really just need to ignore all the extra noise and focus on what gives me the biggest sense of fullfillment regardless of what everyone else wants me to be doing. Thank you Miles for teaching me it is ok to tune everything out around me for a time being and focus on me. I never knew a two year old could have such wisdom for me. I wish you the best 2nd birthday ever and may your two's be filled with more wisdom and knowledge! Happy Birthday Miles!

Kynadee is turning two!

To say Kynadee isn't afraid of anything would be a complete understatement. She isn't even two years old and is a complete daredevil. During our session she would disappear for a minute and would reappear on the top of whatever was the highest thing she could possibly climb at that moment. Lacey definitely has her hands full with this adorable little girl. You would never know how fearless she was by the looks of her. She is about the cutest little priss I have ever seen, but looks can be very deceiving. If I went solely off of what she looked like when she arrived to her session I would have thought we picked the wrong location for this little girl, we should have gone to a clothing boutique where she could be all dolled up, but no this location couldn't have been more perfect. I have thoroughly enjoyed every time I have gotten the chance to capture moments with her, but by far this was my favorite time. She had so much personality and just loved all the exploring she was able to do. She has grown up so much just since the last time I saw her a few months ago. She is one of the smartest bravest two year olds I have ever met. Happy Birthday Miss Kyna, you are growing into such a beautiful little girl!
