A Day at the Farm

Saturday was a beautiful warm day for a photo session. I had the opportunity to photograph 2 absolutely adorable brothers, O and D. I actually went to high school with both mom and dad! They drove out to my mom and step-dads house which is kind of a farm. They raise cows. We didn't get to see any though. They were out on a piece of land far away. At least we did get to hear loud mooos! O is the best big brother but doesn't like to hold D too much because as he says "Mom, he's heavy"! This made getting a picture of the two a little difficult! We got at least one though...see below. D is the happiest baby on the block! He gave us tons of smiles and laughs. Thank you for letting me take pictures of your guys (again...I took O's pictures last year when I was first starting out. If I remember correctly he was my first paid session!) Enjoy your sneak peek!

Happy Birthday to our big boy.

Today is Dawson's 2nd birthday. I can hardly believe it. The past two years have absolutely flown by. I am so glad I have pictures and video to help me remember how tiny he was. Having a child makes you all emotional so fogive me. I remember two years ago having the doctor tell me to head to the hospital to have our baby. I was 37 weeks pregnant but my blood pressure was too high and I was pre-eclamptic. So much for the Olive Garden lunch I was planning to have with my mom! My mom was at the appointment with me...DH (dear husband to all of you non-online chatters) was at work. We went straight to the hospital and I got all settled around 1:00 or so and the pitocin was started that afternoon. Dawson was born at 10:19 on March 24th. He was so beautiful. He had a full head of black hair and olive skin. He looked just like me when I was a baby. Now everyone says he looks just like DH...I guess that is good since he is a boy! Those first couple of months felt like they were creeping by since we were constantly tired but little did I know...they were gone in an instant.

Life is so precious. Children are truly a gift from God. I see Him in Dawson's sweet little innocent eyes everyday. Happy birthday little man. We love you so much.




Here are a few snapshots from his party on Saturday!!

Stormy scheduling...sweet session

The storms rolled in on Saturday so we rescheduled our session to Sunday. We are so fortunate that we made the decision to reschedule! There were tornados, hail and terrible storms on Saturady. The B family unfortunately was hit by the bad hail and now all of their cars have many dents all over them. Thank goodness for insurance! We had a wonderful morning together. The B family is absolutely precious! They are having a sweet baby girl in just a few weeks. She is 35 weeks along and gorgeous! We had so much fun in my "studio"...lol...and down at the canal. Beautiful weather outside made for a perfect session! Thank you both for allowing me to photography this special time in your life. I had a blast! Enjoy you sneak peek.

Sneak Peek for B family!

What a fun Sunday evening! The session started out at my home for some studio type pictures and then we headed out to Savannah Rapids for some beautiful shots. The grass is starting to turn green and there are flowers here and there. Spring is coming! This is the B family and they are expecting a new member in April...it's a girl! N is so excited about being a big brother but honestly wanted nothing to do with the photo shoot. He and his daddy would have been perfectly happy throwing rocks and pine cones into the canal...lol. We had a good time and then finished off our evening at the mexican restaurant down the road. Perfect ending to a great shoot. Enjoy your sneak peek!

My soon to be birthday boy

March is here and my baby boy will be turning 2 at the end of the month. I can NOT believe it. I remember that July day when I found out I was pregnant like it was yesterday. Time truly flies by in a blink of an eye. Photographs are my tangible memories to the past. I am so glad that I have each and every one of them. Here are some of my guy playing outside the other day. I am trying to capture each moment...like that will help him slow down or something. :-)
