Family Fun, Down Town Stuart <3

This family was so fun! The boys were two years apart, just like my boys! I got a little peak into my very own future. Boys are a handful but I'm so excited to experience the craziness they will bring to our lives. 

Anyways, what a fun session near down town Stuart, Florida. It was warm and so so sunny. Much sunnier than I expected. But it was a beautiful day. Everyone just glowed. 

I love that the boys looked different in every single shot. They were constantly changing expressions and being goofy. It was so fun!

Nature Inspires.

One thing that I love taking photos of is the outdoors. But it's been difficult lately because we don't have much in the way of scenery around here and when I do go someplace, it's a park or other venue made for my boys. Which is so great. But I love pictures in the middle of nowhere, when I can find odd trees and amazing wild life. I had a chance not too long ago to be outdoors in a beautiful spot and I took advantage of it. 

Being able to see so far into the trees is beautiful. Stunning, really. So much depth and detail. 

And I always try to remember to look UP!

And down. 

Get outside this week and explore the world around you. It's exciting to see what surrounds you daily. Sometimes it's a lot more than we realize. 

Family Fun Time

My cousin, his girlfriend, and their baby came to visit my parents and grandmother not long ago and I was able to make the trip down! Baby J was just 10 weeks old during the trip but was already so popular! 

St. Patrick's Day

It isn't about being Irish or getting drunk. No, for the Barfield's, St. Patrick's Day is a day for some of our favorite foods and delicious beer.

Every year that we've been married, I make large portions of both Corned Beed and Cabbage and Cottage Pie (which is Shepherds Pie with ground beef instead of lamb.) Though neither of these foods is traditionally Irish, we don't really care. We have talked about switching to traditional Irish foods instead, but then when would I make these delicious meals that we love? PROBABLY NEVER. And that just can't happen. 

This year I decided to document the process which started at 10a and ended with food on the table around 8p. 

It was a good day and I ate too much.

Yum. 

Baby V Sixth Month Session

Baby Vi is six months old! Oh my goodness. 

I had the pleasure of taking her photos in the most beautiful weather at an amazing park in downtown Orlando. 

Seriously, she gets it from her mamma. 

Mamma love

I love this for the sheer simplicity of it. And the wind.

Cutie with a booty

I mean, come on. 

This is my favorite.
