Sorry for the delay in the Then & Now postings gang, things got a little backed up for a while there but we seem to be back on track now and I have some very important little Big Book of Babies stars to showcase in the coming weeks! This week I’d like to introduce little Miss Lauren to you. 
She first stole my heart more than two years ago now during a beach session that to this day showcases some of my favorite sunset images of all time. Since then I’ve had the joy of watching her blossom into this adorable spunky little preschooler with a heart of gold.
Here is Lauren {then} as published in The Big Book of Babies:
and here she is {now}:
We asked Lauren’s Mom to answer a few questions for the blog, here’s what she had to say:
What is your favorite children’s boutique?
Photographs are important to me because…
“I enjoy seeing all the changes the kids go thru. It also brings back wonderful memories of a particular time in my life and their life.”
One thing I hope to always remember…
“The way it felt to see and hold my children for the first time.”
A night out with the children? It can be done! What is your favorite child-friendly restaurant?
“Bayfront in Venetian Village, out on the patio.The kids love to look over the railing and watch for dolphins.
Mom’s need TLC too, where do you go to be pampered?
“Spa Blue, Naples”
An awesome, child-friendly place that theres may not have heard of is…
“Sun -n- Fun Lagoon (Naples) and My Gym (Naples)”
What do you love about lifeXpressions? { Hey, you know you would ask too! }.
“Working with you! You NEVER hurry the session which is so important when dealing with children. You are always available for questions on ordering, wardrobe, etc. And of course, LOVE the photos and slideshows!!”
Note from Terrilyn: Thank you Mom! I have to say you have been a complete JOY to work with too! I’m looking forward to seeing you all very soon and meeting the newest member of the family!!

Wow! She certainly is a beautiful child and you’ve managed to capture the sparkle in her eyes Terrilyn! Your work is outstanding, as always!
First, see how important it is to continue documentation through the lens?! Did not even recognize her. So sweet!

Oh I remember her! I actually remember her beach session with you as I remember thinking what a great job Mom did picking out her colorful dress. She’s positively adorable with those blue eyes, dimples and curls. Beautifully captured!

You captured her so well!
I can see the joy in her eyes.You brought out their true little girl in these portraits. I can tell that your photosession was alot of fun from just viewing these images!
What a treasure for this little girls family to have you document her changing life stages as she grows up. She will cherish these when she her self is a grown up and look back upon her childhood and remember the joy.
