Hudson and Co.

Those of you who follow my blog closely (aka my mom) might recognize this family. I had an impromptu shoot with them this spring just after Hudson was born. I got a chance to photograph them again last week when Yalena decided she wanted some pictures on our snow day.

My favorite shot of the day:

Then again, this one is pretty darn cute. I <3>

All the boys

Thanks for letting me photograph your family!

Barbee Family

I'm going to let the pictures do the talking on this post. They are too cute, words would just get in the way. :)

This is my favorite photo. How can you not smile after seeing this?

Kellen is a miracle baby. He came late February, but wasn't expected until the first of April.

Aren't they an adorable family?

We were trying to re-create one of Braden's baby photos. We did get a re-created shot, but this one makes me smile.

Happy Birthday Henry and Meekin!

I'm way behind on my blogging, so I'll let the pictures do the talking....or is it typing?

Happy birthday, boys!

Baby Love

Oh Blog, how I have neglected thee.

I have so many gigs that need to be blogged, but unfortunately I have let my blogging get behind, so I am just going to post a few quick favs from some recent baby sessions.

P.S. We're back to smaller images on the blog because my mom can view them better at work, so blame her if you preferred it the other way. :)

Reagan

The other day I was browsing Twitter and read a tweet that said “If you get too busy, you’ll drop relationships because relationships are never efficient. They can’t be.” It made me think about how easily I let my friendships evaporate like a puddle on a steamy summer day. It seems like one day they are there and thriving, then the next thing I know it feels awkward for me to call the person to hang out. Luckily, most friendships go into the water cycle and turn into clouds, which then rain down to turn into a puddles again. (Okay, maybe I’m taking the puddle analogy too far.)

Yesterday I spent the morning/afternoon (what would you call the time from 11 o’clock to 2?) with my friend Danielle and her two babies, Eion (the Irish spelling of Owen) and Reagan. It had been far too long since I’d seen or talked to Dani, because as I stated earlier, I let my friendships evaporate. But we were able to catch up with each other today. Not only did we get to chat and have fun, I also captured some incredible images of her kids. After months of trying to conceive, God has blessed Dani with 2 babies in 2 years. Her house is a busy one full of love, laughter and hints of Ireland - did I mention that her husband, Anthony, is Irish? I could listen to him talk all day. :)

Little Miss Reagan was the main focus today. She is officially 1 month and 9 days old. She still has the new baby smell and the cashmere baby skin. I could hold her all day, while listening to Anthony talk.....we’ll plan a day of that, okay, Dani?

This is my favorite shot of the day. Eoin has plans to toughen Reagan up once Mom turns her back. :)

Thanks for letting me get a glimpse of your life!

Family

At the beginning of April my friend Yalena had Hudson. We've been meaning to get pictures of him and finally got around to doing it last Sunday after church. It was kind of a last minute photo shoot at my house, but I love the images we got.

Everybody Dance Now

Anyone that knows me knows that I love to dance. If a song comes on the radio and has any type of beat, I can’t help but “Bust a Move” as my friend Young MC says. I swear my little cousin got her love for dance from me. She is the exact same way. If she hears a dancy song she gets her groove on....come to think of it, Eva doesn’t even need music. Eva became a dancing star in her recital last week. She got to wear 2 adorable costumes and even had a hip hop solo. We couldn’t let the costumes be put away without a good photo shoot. She was more concerned about dancing than smiling, but I kind of like it that way.

Elijah

Elijah is 4. This is not his first appearance on the blog, and I doubt it will be his last. We had a lot of fun wandering the park and capturing some images. There was a miracle moment during our photo shoot. I was able to get him into a tree and stay there by himself. The pics didn’t come out quite like I imagined since you could kind of see the fear in his eyes, but none the less, he climbed a tree which is quite the accomplishment.

Peace Out!

Michaela

Talk about adorable, this little cutie is getting ready to turn 6. We had a fun and relaxed session at my house, doing some photos in the studio, and a few outside. She enjoyed getting her pics taken, but in the end she was anxious to play with my old doll house.

I think this one is my favorite of the day.

She has such a pretty smile!

I have total curl envy. No matter how hard I try, my hair just won't ever have perfect ringlets naturally.

Baylee Bush

My friend Savannah let me take her daughter's 3 month pictures today. We had quite the challenge of keeping big-brother Braden occupied and Baylee happy for the shoot. These two are so adorable though, it wasn't tough getting some good shots.

Big brother, Braden, wanted to get in on the action.

Gotta love a baby with a fuzzy bow on her head.

I had so much fun photographing her -- she is a doll!
