In November of 2009 – I think – Aszur contacted me through FACEBOOK! I had taken pictures at Mandy & Jason’s wedding and she was good friends with Mandy. Aszur was trying to start a photography business and was interested in learning more of how I got to where I was. I found out that she was a fellow lover of Jesus and we had the same type of personality – we hit it right off! I asked her to shadow me at a wedding in December of 2009 and we have been great friends ever since! She came along as a second photographer or as an assistant for the majority of the summer last year! Now her photography business has taken off!

Aszur found out she was pregnant with their third baby soon after we found out about Fitzy – it has been exciting going through it together! When I mentioned birth photography and the desire to have Bridget photograph ours – Aszur knew it was something she wanted too! I told her that I would totally be that person if she wanted! I was on call for the birth and waited impatiently for that text!

We were having dinner with Matt & Johna when I got the text to head to Sayre – ASAP! I already packed everything for the baby earlier that day just in case! We ran home and packed a bag for my parents overnight – drove to their house – dropped the baby off with mom while Jared slept and I headed to the hospital! I got there at about 11.45 PM – wishing that it was daylight for beautiful light flowing in the windows – but Jamison was ready to come out NOW!

As soon as I got there Aszur got her epidural and laid down to relax a little before the excitement really began! Once she knew it was time to push – it wasn’t long before he made his appearance. She got him out in 3 really good pushes when it was all said and done! It was beautiful! I cried. I laughed. I felt so honored to be a part of such a beautiful miracle!

I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!

Right after the epidural!

The calm …

and the storm …

Aszur was a ROCK STAR!

AHH! THE MOMENT!

Aszur & Dave – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to be a part of Jamison’s birthday! I love you guys!!

I’ve taken pictures of *S* since she was in her momma’s belly! She will be a year old in August – hard to believe!

He momma dropped us off some spanish rice a few weeks ago and we took *S* out in the back yard for a few shots!

I cannot wait to do her one year session! Thanks again for the meal Rachel – it was so good!

Arica and I were friends on FACEBOOK and she contacted me about the BABIES package for the first year! You will be seeing lots more of their beautiful faces on this blog!

I LOVE that photo!

MY FAVORITE SHOTS!

Their little boy is already destined to LOVE trucks!

BOY OH BOY!

I LOVE those shots too!

I was so excited when she said they were bringing their puppy! She did GREAT and is gonna love her baby brother!

Arica & Nathan – I CANNOT WAIT to photograph your miracle TODAY! Thank you so much for trusting me with this AMAZING time in your lives!!

I took photos of Amanda’s wedding in August of 2009 – and now their maternity photos! Since I am a little behind on blog posts – their baby girl beat me to it! She arrived in late June – be on the lookout for her newborn session soon!

The shot with the magazine was totally Amanda’s idea! LOVE IT!

I had to add a shot of their sweet pup!

Isn’t she GORGEOUS!!

Thank you so much for asking me to capture this miraculous time in your lives!

Bridget – the photographer who took our AMAZING birth photos and newborn shots of Fitzy – asked me to do a family session for her a few weekends ago!

Her little guys are so cute and that teeny baby girl is the sweetest!

LOOK at those faces!!!

Bridget – I am so happy that we became friends and am looking forward to MANY more sessions together!!

Fitzy is growing like CRAZY – and is as cute as ever!!

I just kiss those cheeks ALL day!

He is sweeter than I ever though he could be!

We went up to Matt & Johna’s a few weekends ago! Fitzy was not hurting for affection – that’s for sure!

I just can’t get enough of him!

The many faces of a sweetness!

Look at the smile on little *B* and that dimple on my Fitzy!

I love this series! It’s like *B* is telling him how she got her bandage and he does NOT believe her!

Auntie Johna!

Thanks so much for being great friends!!

We went to my parents for Memorial Day and spent it with our family – and all the babies that were born recently!

Grandma Trout LOVES pinching baby cheeks!

Jared hates the baby legwarmers. I LOVE them!

Blayze is on the bottom in the green – he will be 2 in July! Fitzy is up top with Rowyn next to him! Sayge is on the bottom in the red – she was born on May 17th! Darrell is the only great-grandchild on my mom’s side of the family that’s missing from the picture!

Rowyn will mess you up if you try anything with her baby cousin!

My Uncle Bob meeting Fitzy for the first time!

It was HOT in here! This is the life – huh!

Our friends had a baby exactly a week after we had Fitzy! We haven’t seen them in 4 years and they stopped by on Memorial Day to introduce us to their little guy!

We are LOVING this baby boy! He is so perfect and such a blessing!

Here are some photos during his 3rd week with us!

OH MY HEART!

He LOVES his play mat!

He also LOVES his moose!

Such a cutie!

Yesterday our baby boy was two weeks old! I’ve been very blessed with GREAT photographer friends who wanted to photograph his cuteness! You can see all the different photos on my FACEBOOK!

I have been so tired and so focused on spoiling this little guy with love that I kept putting off his newborn photos – horrible right!

When Nicole from Yafeh Photography came to photograph our little guy – I took a few shots – at 12 days old!

PRECIOUS!!

I cannot get over the fact that this little guy is ours!!

Yesterday I took some shots of our teeny baby at 2 weeks old!

I don’t normally include outtakes but this one was too cute!

We are having such a great time loving on our little miracle!
