Polarn O. Pyret Trunk Show at Love Life Images

Polarn O. Pyret Swedish clothing line is coming to Maryland/DC
May 27, 2010  6:30 - 9:30, Love Life Images Studio

You do not want to miss this.  Polarn O. Pyret clothes are bold and fun.  Think fun stripes, designs and bright colors with practical fabrics & prices.  They offer a clothing line from Mamas to Tweens and everything in between.  They are offering all Trunk Show guests 20% off with free shipping!

I found out about them through a Trunk Show earlier this year from the fabulous Jessica McFadden of A Parent in Silver Spring blog. I just had to share PO.P with all my friends.

I love their clothes so much that I had to do my own little personal fashion shoot with my eight year-old daughter, Anael, and the most adorable little toddler, Liam.  I had a ball and so did they.

Here's the information for the trunk show. Just click on the image to take you to the live link.  Hope you can come and bring your friends!  Please rsvp to mary@lovelifeimages.com.

A Family Portrait Session with Ethan & Luke.

Have I ever told you that I love, love, love, love documenting the Life Stages Sessions we offer.  I can't tell you enough how amazing it is to see these precious little people (that's what I like to call them) grow before my eyes. 

I've been documenting Ethan since he was in his mom's belly.  See the first sessions here and here.  He's about five monthes old now and just last week I did the final session.  I was blown away at how big Ethan grew.  He's got so much personality.  He loves to smile and eat his toes. He's mad for his older brother, Luke, too.

Let's meet everyone, again.

Here's Ethan.

This is Luke with his dad.

Luke in his favorite frog boots.

Linda lovin' on Ethan.

An amazing smile.

Must eat him up now.

Linda & Ethan.

A little story time for Ethan.

Reaching the breaking point.

Even the dog loves Ethan.

And vise versa.

A nice family portrait.

Liz & Heath. A Portrait Session in Georgetown, DC.

Liz & Heath are leaving DC for a new adventure and chapter in their lives. They are headed to NYC for new careers.  Before they leave, and gradute from Georgetown University, they wanted images in and around their old stomping grounds.  So, that's what we did. Found little hints of the areas they frequented as students and as a couple.

Thanks Liz & Heath.  I wish you lots of happiness with many new endeavors.

More Mom & Me Portrait Sessions.

I've had a lot of fun helping Moms celebrate being Moms.  It's a tough job, but it's worth it in every possible way.  A big thank you to all of you who have braved middle of the night feedings, snotty noses, constant chaos and clutter,  a little attitude, and endless entertaining. But, then they smile at you or give you a big hug or snuggle in bed with you in the morning.  Then, all is right in the world.  You suddenly know your place and smile.  I know I do.

Happy Mother's Day.

Jack and His Family. Life Stages Portrait Session.

I have a big history with this family.  First it was Charlie and now Jack, and most importantly, Stella (their human dog).  I'm not kidding.  She might as well be human.  She has all the mama instincts with incredible patience to boot! 

This was Jack as a newborn and this is him now.

See what I mean?  Life flies right on by and before we know it we're paying for college. I'm so glad I can document such important stages in a baby's growth.  It's so incredible and lovely.

Charlie towers over Jack.

This is what I mean about Stella.  Eternal patience.

Weeeee!

Mom & dad with the little guy.

Love the details of little people.

Such personality!

The whole family.
