How much longer can I put Fitzy under the BABES category? Forever – right?
I feel like overnight he’s become a toddler. He is stubborn and independent. He says – I do it. He’s become a little boy.
I had my camera out for a session and he said – CHEESE MOM-MA. I love how he says MOM-MA. Melts my heart.
Fitzy – you are loved. Always!
I’m quite a holiday grinch – by most people’s standards – I’ll write more about that later.
While my mother-in-law doesn’t go over the top for holidays – by any means – she does have her traditions she would like to continue with Fitzy – just like my parents!
Fitzy did LOVE his first Easter egg hunt!
I found myself tearing up as I edited these pictures. I don’t usually do that with pictures of Fitzy. But the emotion overwhelmed me. The smile on his little face. How much he adores his grandparents. How blessed we are to have him.
Thank you Grandma Barden for carrying on your traditions with Fitzy! The love you have for him blesses us so much!
Happy Easter dear baby! I can’t wait to share in years to come what we will do to celebrate Easter – new life in Jesus!
I love photographing families while they grow! I met Lauren & Dan when *L* was still in her belly and now he’s 18 months old!
*L* – these are the best smiles you have EVER given me!
Lauren – thank so much for asking me to get a few shots in his Easter best! Can’t wait to see you this fall!
I can’t believe that little *G* is one month old already – I SHOULD believe it – it’s the way it always goes!
Hello sweet boy!
SO HANDSOME!
That might be the BEST smile that *E* has ever given me!
Nicole – I can’t wait to see you next month and see how much your little man has grown!
In March – Fitzy turned TWENTY THREE months old!
We happened to be at my parents for the 28th so we got some pictures with Fitzy’s favorite farm animals!
I love that my parents (and Jared’s parents) have such a great relationship with Fitzy. He absolutely adores them!
That’s Blue – Fitzy’s horse – or so he thinks!
Fitzy – you are such a joy in our lives! I’m savoring every day with you as a 1 year old! I cannot believe that you will be TWO in no time at all! WE LOVE YOU!
Seriously – LOOK AT THAT FACE!
I cannot believe that little *S* is SIX MONTHS OLD ALREADY!
TOO MUCH!
I could not have asked for a more PERFECT model!
OH MY HEART!
Taylor – thanks for having me capture your little guy’s first year of life! Oh – and for the extra snuggles!
See you for his YEAR session!
He loves to talk and tell stories. He loves to go for walks. He ADORES his grandparents. He can say pineapple – cucumber – kiwi – caterpillar – bouillon – pepper. We pray at every meal and thank Jesus for lots of things. Mommy – daddy – fitzy – plates – spoons – bowls – chairs – healing. He loves to pray for people. He loves to have the Bible read to him. He LOVES to dance and listen to worship music. His favorite movie is BRAVE. He loves little blonde girls.
He is amazing. And almost TWO years old.
OH LITTLE BABY – you are my dearest!
CHEESE!
We spend a lot of time in our jammies!
Fitzy – we love you SO much! I pray that you would experience kindness and joy every single day of your life. I pray that you will love Jesus and follow His example.
I pray for you to love. To live. To the fullest.
Mindi is my cousin – we used to spend summers together when we were little! Field and dirt and hay and cows – those were the days!
Mindi is now a momma to two little sweeties!
SHE IS SO SWEET!
Mindi – it was GREAT to see you! I’ll let you know when we are home over the summer and we’ll get all the babies together!
I’ve been taking photos for Nicole & Dustin for almost THREE years!
Dustin is overseas defending our freedoms – so capturing the birth of this little guy was VERY VERY important. And I got sick. Sick enough that I couldn’t risk exposing a new momma and baby to the germs. I was SO SO SO upset. I knew that if I couldn’t be there with these dear friends (I love clients that turn into GOOD friends) that someone would have to be. Who better than the girl who photographed Fitzy’s birth?
Bridget Reed did a beautiful job with his birth! THANK YOU SO MUCH for stepping in for me!
Thankfully – I got over my nasty cold just in time to photograph him while I was in town!
I’ve been disappointed with my newborn results lately. I am trying to be someone I’m not – as far as the style goes. With *G* I just put aside all the expectations in my own head and photographed him. I LOVE they way they turned out. It’s exactly the style I want to represent. I can’t wait to try out some more ideas next time!
LOVE!
You’ll be getting lots of little looks at *G* this year! While his daddy is fighting for us – I’ll take pictures of him every month!
Taylor is one of my favorite people to photograph! I love being able to capture each step in her life – especially with Tom and little *S*.
SERIOUSLY – GORGEOUS!
Don’t worry – little *S* had his socks RIGHT back on after this shot!
I love when ideas in my head come out PERFECTLY!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
This little guy gets his 6 month session next week – but I HAD to get a recreation of his newborn photo!
Thank you for asking me to capture this moment for you!
