Voting is OPEN....For the Cutest Tiny Human Contest

Entries are in, and these are all some seriously adorable tiny humans. Below is all the tiny humans in the Cutest Tiny Humans Contest! You may vote for whomever you think is the most adorable! 

Everyone may vote twice. 
Once by commenting on this post with the Name of the child you are voting for! 
And once on facebook by commenting on the picture you think is the cutest! 



Annabelle


Annabelle is now 5 1/2 months old!

She's recently started rolling around; her dad and I left her for 30 seconds on a sheet on our living room floor to check on something in our garage. We heard a muffled cry coming from her general vicinity; we ran back to check on her, thinking she'd gotten herself wedged up against the couch and couldn't roll away from it. We found her wrapped up in the sheet like a little baby burrito underneath the coffee table! No more leaving this wild child unattended :). I wish I'd gotten a picture of it, but I was so afraid she'd suffocate in there that I couldn't leave her long enough to snap one.

We've spent hundreds of dollars on baby toys and distractions but as of right now, her favorite toys consist of 1) her dad's glasses, and 2) her sister Dallas' (our English Shepherd) favorite tennis ball (probably because when she finally gets ahold of it it's pre-moistened for her)


Dawson


Dawson is now 5 months old!

He currently loves to blow raspberries!



Naura


Naura is 3 1/2 years old.

Naura has tons of personality, and loves her baby brother and all things purple.

She is going to grow up to be like mommy, she told me that she wants to go to work to make money. I ask her if she would like to make cakes? (Her mom works at a bakery) She replay with "No, I am going to make money."



Kendra


Kendra is 4 years old.

Kendra's favorite thing: Her Blanket

This is how I know that Kendra is my{mom} BEST friend. Every night before bed, we take turns rubbing each other's back :-) 



Mackenzie


Mackenzie is 2 years old.

Mackenzie a big sister now!



 Kayleigh



Kayleigh is 4 months old.

Kayleigh loves to giggle!



Alyssa


Alyssa is 3 years old.

She loves playing with her baby dolls being their little mommy.


Destiny


Destiny calls herself a tomboy, but this is the pose that she did when she put this dess on. Doesn't seem so tomboy to me {her mom}. 

Her favorite thing is to play basketball and swim.

LANDON
 
Landon is mommy's little man!!

Relay for Life of Oakwood -Volunteer Photographer

I was able to be the volunteer photographer for Relay for Life of Oakwood tonight and I cannot tell you enough how awesome of a time I had out there with everyone. I have a known many people in my life to have battled with cancer, and sadly not everyone has won that war. Which is why every dollar raised at fundraisers like Relay for Life is so very important. 

It is very late so I only have a few to post tonight but I promise to get the rest up tomorrow after the closing ceremony. 

(As a thank you to all those involved in Oakwood's Relay for Life please email me at 
courtney@cmaries-photography.com 
and I will be happy to send you a disc of all the images from this years amazing relay at no cost to you.)




Singing of The National Anthem started our opening ceremony. And she did a wonderful job!




Survivors Lab! 
This was one of my favorite parts of the night! It really does show that we are getting closer to a cure! It also reminded me that no matter your age, weight, gender, social status, wealth, or knowledge cancer can happen to anyone and it does. It can happen to the ones you love the most or even yourself and those who took the track during this lab are truly some of the strongest people in our community for what they have overcome, and we are all so blessed to have them here today!




Team Holy Angels! - Won my heart over with their Chick-fil-a sandwiches! :-)


This was for my Uncle Don, he past away due to cancer just last month. One of his favorite hobbies was photography, so I couldn't help think of him as I was photographing my first Relay for Life. 


There were over 250 paper lanterns lining the track all in honor or memory of those that have battled cancer. It is really something to see them all like that, it reminds you just how many people lives are effected by cancer.




To see more pictures in the next day or two follow my facebook page at www.facebook.com/cmariesphoto
