Nicole has become such a good friend in the 2 years I’ve known her as a client! 2 years – CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!
I very rarely get smiling pictures of *E* – so I LOVE these ones!
Those might be my FAVORITE shots EVER of *E*!
Dustin & Nicole – we love you guys SO much!
I cannot believe that little *L* is 9 months old already!
ISN’T HE A TOTAL CUTIE! Oh my word!
Lauren – I am SO thankful that we met and you asked me to photograph your little guy!
Fitzy is AMAZING! He is so smart and joyful! He isn’t walking by himself yet – and I tend to compare to everyone else and wonder why he is so far behind – but crawling gets him there faster!
He knows where is nose and his ears and belly button are – and LOVES looking for YOUR belly button too!
He says ball and dada and mama and book and baba and a few more! He loves to shake his head no and wave his arms when he means yes! He LOVES to be in the water and looks forward to his morning bath in the sink!
He LOVES to look through all his books before we get out of bed in the morning!
He has two more teeth coming in on top!
I LOVE THAT FACE!
LOOK AT THOSE TEETH! My mom has a picture of me like this – we look SO much alike!
The past month has been so busy – crazy with weddings and photography and conferences and plans and just life in general!
I’ve been having migraines (which I was pretty much over) about every week or so the last month and I told Jared – after the 4th one in 3 weeks – that I must be pregnant.
When I was pregnant the first time in 2009 – I didn’t have any symptoms. When I was pregnant with Fitzy – I had migraines and morning sickness and was SO tired. When I was pregnant this January – I didn’t have any symptoms – which is how I knew that we would be miscarrying.
Well – I took a test and had an appointment this morning – and the results are in!
We are pregnant!
I’m excited and scared. Mostly scared. This is our 4th pregnancy with 2 out of 3 ending in miscarriage. If we have another miscarriage – we are done. It’s too hurtful and emotionally taxing. I’ve been a little crampy and then remembered that I was with Fitzy in the early early weeks.
This baby would be due March 19th. Our first miscarriage was March 17th. So – I’m praying that this baby is intended for our arms and will complete our little family!
We are sharing so early because we covet your prayers! Pray that this little baby is healthy and comfy in my belly. Pray that we could be excited and not spend our days in worry.
And pray that those women and men out there crying out for babies of their own have their miracles!
I met with *A* and her sweet momma on a beautiful morning in June! I couldn’t have asked for better weather!
I LOVE THAT SHOT!
Nicci – thank you SO much for asking me to come out and photograph *A* – I hope you love the photos!
I know Courtney through Jared – they went to high school together!
When her little guys was born – two years ago – I gave her a gift certificate – and we JUST got it scheduled – oops!
OH MY HEART!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that last one! Makes me tear up thinking that in one SHORT year my little guy will be right there!
Thank you guys so much for coming over and hanging out! We love you!
I met Laura through my FACEBOOK contest earlier this year!
Her little girl wasn’t too sure of me at first – but she warmed up!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
Laura – thank you so much for asking me to photograph your family! I hope to see you again soon!
13 months – well now 14 since I’m so behind! Fitzy has been with us for more than a year – it’s unbelievable!
Here are some pictures throughout the month of May!
He is the happiest baby!
He loves getting into the kitchen cupboards!
He loves his momma – and I love him!
That picture on the left is the last one I took before my stupid 40D bit the dust.
HELLO HANDSOME!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS! His hair looks so red in the sun!
He loves his dada too!
Fitzgerald – you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! We love you!
Fitzy’s birthday fell on a Saturday this year – so we had a party!
I am not a huge birthday or party person. I HATE my birthday – since 1997 – it’s been awful – something always happens and it’s not good. Most of the time it’s several somethings happening.
ANYWAY – it was his first birthday and while he won’t remember it – there were lots of people that love him that wanted to remember it! My in-laws hosted for us and we had such a good time!
Before his party I took him outside for a few birthday shots!
Of course he fell asleep RIGHT before his party started!
Samm and I made the GIANT cupcake!
*J* was SO excited about his cupcake!
I think *J* liked hers too!
We let all the other kiddos “help” Fitzy open his gifts! They LOVED it!!
I LOVE THAT FAT LITTLE FINGER!!
*A* had such a good time playing with all the little presents too!
I LOVE THAT BOY!
We put him right in the tub – which he loves!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that celebrated with us! We love you all and love you so much for loving our little guy!
Aunt L – thank YOU for letting me enjoy the day and taking most of these pictures! I love YOU!
Hannah contacted me around Christmas about a gift certificate for her dear friend Miranda – for a bridal session – which are MY FAVORITE sessions to shoot!
AMAZING! Isn’t she gorgeous!
BEAUTIFUL!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!
I also LOVE LOVE LOVE birdcage veils!!!
MY FAVORITE SHOTS OF THE DAY! I love love LOVE those shots! I will totally be getting prints for the next bridal expo!!
Hannah – thank you SO much for gifting Miranda with this session! I had such a great time with you both!
Miranda – I can’t wait to see your wedding photos! I’m so excited that I can FINALLY post these!!
*V* is my cousin. In my mind she is still 8 and a flower girl in my wedding. She will be 16 this year and it makes me shudder. She is beautiful and wonderful!
SERIOUSLY!
MY FAVORITES!!!
She brought her prom dress and we spent some time in our backyard shooting!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
MY FAVORITES!!!
Oh – those ones too!
*V* – guard your heart and be yourself! WE LOVE YOU!
