Rainy day fun!

Today I finally got to do a session that has been planned for months! Too bad it was a very rainy day! L is almost 2.5 years old and SO smart. He is able to use long sentences, sing his ABCs and so much more. We had so much fun playing this morning. I was glad to see him throw one fit though...my son isn't the only one! We started the session playing in L's room. It is so precious with the light lime green walls and blue accents! He has the same sweet soft pillow as my Dawson has. We got them off of http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=36371. If you haven't shopped on www.etsy.com we both suggest you do! I have gotten many of Dawson's cute t-shirts off of there...his I'm 2 shirt is from there! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=90329 Sorry, I got off an tangent. After playing in his room we went out to his play space in the garage to color, ride in his car and etc. This is great idea for extra space. L's mom had it set up with a cute ABC rug which L LOVES! While we were outside L played with his stuffed animal, ate a lollipop and cleaned up by playing in the rain. What a fun rainy day we had! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Oh, the links didn't work and I am no computer wiz so you will have to copy and paste! Sorry!

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. :-)

Savannah Sneak

All the way from Savannah the M family was a joy to photograph! Mr. N and Mr. V were such awesome models. The boys are so adorable! N was ham for the camera until he got sleepy but that was perfect too! The weather started warming up for us but the wind was whipping around so it was still chilly. We took a golf cart ride down to the lake but the lake has disappeared somewhat. We still got some great shots there too. Then we hung out at the cottage for a bit while N slept and V read a book with grandma. It was a wonderful session. Thank you so much for traveling to see me! Here is your sneak peek!

It's almost here...

My little guy is turning 2 in about a month. I just can't believe it. Time has flown by. I feel like he should be Reagan's age. For the parents to be or new parents out there...enjoy every minute. Each one disappears so quickly. Enough mushiness though!We had a shoot on Wednesday for a picture to go on his invitation. Here are a few that we got!

I just can't stop...

please forgive me! We made the trip to visit Reagan again. She was 3.5 weeks old in these pictures. This were very rushed since we needed to get ready for Aunt Tara's surprise 30th birthday party. We also had a few people scared by putting sweet Reagan on the barstool...sorry about that. I promise that mommy's hands were right there!

Get your session booked!

The year has started off great! I have enjoyed wonderful sessions so far. February is currently booked but there are March appointments available. Those dates that are open are March 1st, 15th, and 22nd. The dates available in April are the 19th or
26th.

If you have a newborn (0-2 weeks) please contact me as soon as possible...even before the birth to set up your appointment. We will capture great shots during those first two weeks since the baby will be sleeping most of the time. Even if I am booked please contact me and I may be able to fit you in.

I have a very fun session set up in April for a sweet little boy. We are going to do a "favorite things" session. He is going to paint a canvas, play with his toys, ride his bike and play in his room. I will follow behind to capture all of his moments. Sessions like these are available anytime. I can become a fly on the wall and just capture daily life. These are truly the moments we will remember forever.

Maternity sessions should be booked around 32-36 weeks. This timing will capture your beautiful belly just before you get too busy or uncomfortable for pictures. However, if you prefer to have your session done earlier that is up to you. We can also capture your pregnancy throughout the 9 months. Contact for pricing.
