Last Saturday Terhune Orchards held their annual Blueberry Bash. Anthony and I ventured over there to visit the orchard, get some pictures and fresh produce. We ended up not picking any blueberries, but I did get some phenomenal empire apples in their store (which empire is my favorite apple) as well as green beans, zucchini and more.

Clockwise: Raspberry, blueberries, blueberry trees, unripped blackberries, and some apples.

I felt like these needed a vintage processing.

LOVE their husband & wife scarecrows.

While visiting Oklahoma last week, Anthony and I finally met our newest nephew Rylan. He was born in January, right after the holidays. Here are a few photos from my mom’s (aka Sassy) birthday shindig at their home.

Introducing Rylan James, 5 months

Randon Mark, 2 1/2 years old

I love his expression. He loves this bouncing tigger and the joy in his face when he made tigger bounce was electric. He also helped ice Sassy’s birthday cake.

Grandpa and Rylan

Proud Grandpa (also love the look Rylan is giving Randon!)

Playing with the waterhose. Randon is obsessed with this, fortunately he isn’t strong enough to actually hold down the button so we didn’t all get wet. You can also see my parents beautiful backyard. My mom has worked hard to get it looking gorgeous.

I met up with Miss Peyton while in Oklahoma on Friday. She was born early and is doing phenomenally well at 9 weeks. She’s got beautiful big blue eyes and the sweetest temperament.

Wednesday evening I met up with the sweetest and most beautiful sisters in my hometown of Shawnee.

Madison, 10 years old

Laynie, 7 years old

Rylee, 16 months

Only because I couldn’t resist sharing a little more of Poppy.

Anthony & I are on our way back to the great state of Oklahoma today. We are both ready to see family, as its been since Christmas. Looks like its going to be HOT in the 90s the entire time.

Just wanted to share a few more images from my session with Anna & Margaret last weekend. Anna on the left, Margaret on the right.

Introducing Miss Poppy. This is her second photoshoot, the first in womb and now at 12 days old. I loved how alert she was, even got a little eye contact out of her. She’s a laid back baby and allowed us to do just about anything with her. And check out her nursery! Beautiful!!

I am currently in Nashville for the weekend visiting friends and taking these sweet girls 2 year pictures. You’ve seen them on this blog a few times since I started my business here, One Year Session, and here. We got up early this morning and headed to the Nashville Zoo. There’s an older part with a home, barn, garden and more. It was the perfect location to allow two very active 2 year olds to run around. I convinced my mom to make a few pettiskirts for this session specifically and the girls had a good time in them. I made a detour to Hobby Lobby yesterday and found parasols that were perfect. The girls loved them!

Anna is on the left, Margaret on the left in both photos.

Memorial Day, Anthony and I decided to head to Doylestown, PA to visit the Mercer Museum. This was an item on our Schmidt’s Adventure.

Henry Mercer gathered everyday life items from the 18th and 19th centuries and completed a 6 story stone castle to house the collection. The objects document the lives and tasks of early America, before the Industrial Revolution. Mercer had quite the organizational skills, placing like items in their own alcoves, i.e. file making, printing, tinsmithing, wallpaper, harvesting, etc. He also placed the items in importance to the individuals. The first few floors are items that were essential and then the higher floors were for luxury and items for fun.

With Rollo, Mercer’s dog.

This exhibit really caught my eye, wallpaper and textile making.

When you first walk into the museum, you see the central court with a whale boat and more. I didn’t realize Anthony was in the shoot, but I love that he is looking up in amazement. There is so much stuff crammed into this castle its amazing. There are even baskets and cradles on the ceiling.

Outside of the museum/castle.

I’m working on something special for my clients and I enlisted the help of Amy, another PTS spouse and book club friend, and her daughter Abby. Abby loves to find dandelions in fields, and many made appearances in the photos. I love that it kept her busy enough to allow me to grab some photos of her. Clients, be on the lookout for something fun coming your way!

Stunning blue eyes!
