A friend of mine who happens to take gorgeous pictures had been trying to get together with our family for the past month or so it seems to take some photos. But Kaelyn kept having different ideas….. like sliding down the steps on her belly and getting rug burn under her lip and then crashing off the porch at my parents causing her lip to swell to about quadruple it’s normal size. And then finally both of my girls looked like their normal selves and Laura was free! On Memorial Day of all days, hehe. And so I wanted to share some of the beautiful pictures she took for us…

When we first pulled into the parking lot and I saw the willow tree I was so excited…. because now as everyone knows Baby Girl’s name is Willow Jean!![]()
I can’t believe in roughly 10 weeks we will be a family of 5!

So obviously you can’t tell, but in the above picture the girls were checking out the cutest baby duck! I love baby ducks…. geese, not so much, hehe.

And oh my gosh how darling is this? I must have it framed!

Kaelyn sticking her hand in daddy’s shorts – priceless.

Playing under the willow tree…. soon there will be 3 lil girls running around together! How precious will that be???

And my lil diva – gosh I love her to pieces.
Kaelyn is not the kinda kid that likes to smile for posed pictures at all and so I was really impressed that Laura was able to get as many great shots as she did. And well as ya can see Alleigh is quite the opposite, hehe. If you live in the Canton, Ohio area I suggest checking out her facebook fan page and maybe setting up an appointment too! Perhaps leave her a comment about what an awesome job she did too, because she totally deserves it.
Thanks so much Laura Shankel Photography.

I LOVE those! They turned out great!
These pics are too cute!! Where were they taken at? I don’t recongize the park…
They were taken at Price Park – right across from where Dustin & I had our wedding reception!
Oh my goodness I love them all!! My husband HATES pictures so we still don’t have any real family photos
The one of you and the *three* girls is my favorite!
My hubby also hates pictures, but sometimes he just doesn’t get a choice in the matter, hehe!!
These pictures turned out beautiful. The lighting is fantastic. I have always loved willow trees! My favorite. It’s almost as if Willow is already in the family pics. =)
Mimi, you took the words right out of my mouth. That is exactly how I felt when we pulled in and I saw the willow trees and they just seem to come alive in the pictures.
So precious!
Love the pictures. She did an awsome job.
Thank you Danielle for writing this blog post! You and you’re family are so sweet, I hope I get the chance to photograph you again. Thank you everyone for the sweet comments
