mothers day at the campground

for this past mothers day i wanted to do a photo session with brady as a surprise for his mom kristin. we ended up spending the whole day at the magill family campsite up in foster, so i took plenty of pictures of brady and jim's niece and nephew - riley and samantha. the kids had so much fun running around and it was cute to see riley and brady interacting with each other. here are some of the pictures from that day...

there's more where that came from...

ok i have a lot of catching up to do with proofing and posting on here. i am finally finished with my summer class, now i just have to finish my 15 page paper! i am still doing my internship at the children's museum 12 hours a week on top of working full time, so unfortunately i have a limited amount of time to work on my photography. here is a list of all the pictures you have to look forward to within the coming weeks:

dave & steph's wedding (finished proofing, just need to post!)
corey's graduation & party
ryan's graduation & party
father's day/june birthday cookout
photo session of jim at goddard park (yes he got sucked in to doing that again!)
my neighbor's new puppy
mothers day pictures of brady, samantha, and riley
brady's birthday party
michelle's visit to ri
and a bunch of miscellaneous pictures along the way

i have way too much to keep me busy. that doesn't even count all of the pictures i will take between now and the time i get around to proofing all of these. so keep checking back and i will post on my myspace page when the blog is updated!

thanks for looking :)
