INSPIRE by Cassandra Dieterle Photography

I can't believe how fast time is going by! Part of me feels like Grace has always been with us (because I don't remember what it was like without her), but the other part of me feels like she just got here!
She is rolling over, trying to sit up, and she LOVES to have a conversation with you, her toys or even herself!
Brooklyn is growing too. She just graduated and will be going to a new school soon-photos coming soon!
We all want to grow up so fast as a kid, but then once you do grow up, get out of college, make a career for yourself and settle down-when you want time to slow down- it really flies by!
We always say if only there were only more time in a day, since I've had kids I've often wished for more time in a min!!


this is her typical face if she's not smiling or crying...it's the "thinking face"

smiling at my friend

Brooklyn LOVES her baby sister...she was so excited to take pictures with her. typically she wants nothing of studio type shots- but this time she couldn't get enough!

what a ham!

Daddy's home!!! Something you may hear on a daily basis, but for this family and many many more, it's not heard often and we were lucky enough to capture that moment for one special family! Happy Days to come for sure!

Baby Dakota...at 1 week old! So Cute!


I love this photo of the boys with Dakota... they can't hardly walk by her without kissing her! The younger of the two is so cute, he calls her "baby whirl" because he can't say girl!

OpLOVE

David and I have been doing military appreciation days for about 5 years now; once a year with several families and we love being able to give back to those who sacrifice so much for all of us and our freedoms! So when we were invited to become a part of Operation Love Reunited we jumped at the opportunity! OpLove is a non profit organization that is made up of photographers around the country who give their time to our service members and their families who are deployed, being deployed or returning from deployment. Each service member is given up to a total of 2 sessions (one before, one when they return for example).

the "Y" family below you will notice is without daddy right now, lets all pray that he comes home safe...soon! Until then his little princess and boxer to be will have these photos (and more) sent to their daddy overseas so he can share these moments.

this is my favorite shot from the day...I love her princess slippers with daddy's boots
He looks like he's boxing, but he's actually learning to clap...he just hasn't figured out how to open his hand yet!


little girls just LOVE lipstick!
