What little boys are made of...

MUD.
Lots and lots of MUD.
THAT is what little boys are made of! :)

Well...at least THIS boy is! His favorite thing to do is to dig in the dirt, and it is even better when he gets to add some water to it! So, doing a little Mud Mini Session for this little man's third birthday was the perfect thing. This little man is AMAZING..and I just can't believe he is THREE!
I LOVE these images of him. I feel as if I could just reach into them and squeeze his cute little face!! He had a GREAT time! :)

All American Minis

WOW! I mean really....just wow!

It should not surprise me how obsessed I am with these images since the All American Mini Sessions are my most FAVORITE of the year. Don't worry, they will quickly become your favorite also. This year they were so popular that I opened up a second day! It was fun to see how excited everyone was to come out and celebrate American!

They are not only fun for me, but the kids have a BLAST! How could they not have fun? They get to jump around in the back of an old Chevy truck, wave flags, drink some soda pop and eat some juicy watermelon!! WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE?! 

But enough of me talking.....time for you to enjoy some seriously cute kids ready to celebrate the 4th of July!

Christmas Tree Mini Sessions

It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
These are some of my FAVORITE mini sessions to do (my MOST favorite are the ALL AMERICAN MINIS...those are coming up in May, so mark your calendars). It is always a fun time having so many wonderful families come out dressed in their cute Christmas clothes and run around in the trees. :)
This year was FREEZING! O.K...well it was freezing for us weak Southern California folk!! I mean goodness it was in the 40's and the wind was blowing!! We call that freezing here :)

Anyways....despite the frigid temperatures we had a great time and got so many cute pictures! The wonderful props were made by the amazing Marigold Events. She really is wonderful. If you ever need an event to look amazing, just hire her :) Not only does she do amazing work, but she is super fun too. So feel free to invite her to the party too! So ahead and go over to her Facebook Page and 'Like' her. I can wait here for you while you go do that.....

....welcome back!! You better 'Like' me too, or else how will you find out about all these cute Mini Sessions?! I am guessing you already have since you are here on my Blog, but just incase, here you go ----> STRAWN PHOTOGRAPHY.

Now that you have done your work, here are a few a TON of pictures from the super fun CHRISTMAS TREE MINI SESSIONS. I am so lucky to get to photograph such beautiful families!!
