Aiden

Aiden has seriously got to be one of the easiest newborns I have ever photographed! He was the best sleeper and loved to be all curled up!

Grant & Sophie

My favorite family is back for more pictures. I haven't seen them in a couple months and I was seriously going thru withdrawals. These two are the sweetest, funniest kids ever and have amazing parents. Sophie usually greets me at the door with a big jump into my arms. I always enjoy my times with them and am so glad that their mom is a photo fanatic like me. :-)

23 Weeks

Well, 23 weeks down, 17 more to go! I cannot believe it. I also cannot believe how big my belly has gotten in just the last month. At least I don't have stretch marks (fingers crossed)!!

So new news is that we are finished with the nursery!! Big props go out to my husband. He has never hung chair rail and I must say, for a first timer...he did a fabulous job! Although, he has said that if I ever mention hanging chair rail again, he will file for divorce. :-) It was a pain to get done, but it was worth it. I cannot wait to get the crib and dresser assembled. I'm giving him a break from honeydo projects for now.

Other than my growing belly, no new and exciting news to report. We've been busy with baby stuff and I'm booking appointments like crazy! I am gearing up for my tulip mini this weekend. It feels good to get back outside and shoot. There has been a wave of newborns lately. Apparently, there really IS something in the water.

Before

After! The room is so much brighter!!

22 Weeks

22 weeks has come and I'm extremely late in posting this picture since 23 weeks is on Sunday! Oops! Things have been great. She is still a kicking machine and has even managed to literally take my breath away. Talk about the most bizarre feeling!

We have our next doctors appointment in 11 days! It's another huge milestone! She will reach the age of viability. It will be a huge relief to know that "if" anything happened, she would have a good chance at surviving outside the womb.

So here's my big belly! It seems to grow overnight. I'm a little nervous about what the scale will say next week. Eek!! It's a good thing I am still running and working out!!

Happy 1st Birthday Noah!

I can't believe this little cutie is 1 year old! They came all the way from Tyler to have pictures done and I was super excited to see how big he was. He's a full fledged walker...well, runner! :) Hope mom and dad enjoy their pictures.

21 Weeks

I'm seriously late in posting the 21 weeks photo considering that it's already time to do the 22 week photo, but better late than never. If you follow me on Facebook, then you already got a sneak peek. :)

This past weekend we started working on the nursery. My in laws came and helped us paint. We decided to do a chocolate brown on the bottom with a creamy beige on the top and a chair rail. Well, let's just say that we may have possibly bit off a little more than we could chew. My husband did a fantastic job at getting all the miter cuts perfectly cut, but our problem came in nailing them to the wall. Our hammer and nails weren't cutting it, so we're hoping to enlist a friend's help to finish it.

So I will leave you with a pic of my ever growing belly! :)

S~Family

This sweet family came to visit me on the most beautiful and perfect day! We had been having some cruddy weather and right before their session, the sun came out and made for a beautiful session. I can't wait to see this location when it's all green.

I had such a great time with Miss Audrey & Miss Caroline. They are both little sweeties!!

Georgous Family!

Only 4 more spaces available! First come, first serve!!

Brynn

Sweet little Brynn was such a delight to photograph. Her mom had some beautiful props for me to use and I am so happy at how everything came together.

This is not my hat, but I have a feeling that I'm going to need to purchase it since it will probably get requested. :)

Henry & Kate

I shot these photos a while back and forgot to blog them! I can't believe how big they have gotten since I saw them in November. Time flies!



Seriously, they couldn't get any cuter! Miss Kate is now 6 months old!

20 Weeks

I can't believe we are at the half way point! My husband and I are so excited about being so much closer to meeting our little one. I will say that I think she takes after her daddy. She is a kicking machine!! I feel her ALL THE TIME! Our dreams of her becoming a track star might actually come true. :-) Here's my belly this week. I am sporting my first pair of maternity jeans and my first maternity shirt. I have to say that both are equally comfortable!



We have started the nursery projects. Here's my husband painting some swatches. I knew what I wanted, it was just a matter of seeing it on the wall. We will be installing chair rail between the colors as well.



We already decided that we loved the lighter color, but the brown was a harder decision. I love the darker color! The official painting project begins this weekend, so stay tuned for photos!!

19 Weeks

So here she is! Our sweet 9 oz little nugget is as healthy as can be! It was such an amazing doctors visit. We got to see all her internal organs and watch her heart beat. I couldn't have been happier. Some more exciting news is that she has start to kick! The first time I felt her kick was February 13th, but that was only from the inside. Today I felt her kick on the outside. It was amazing!





So here's my weekly belly photo. I have finally gained weight! I know, I can't believe I'm actually saying that. I now weigh the same as I did when I got pregnant.

18 Weeks

18 weeks down already? This pregnancy seems to have flown by so quickly already and I'm sure it will only go faster. I have to say that this baby girl has been very good to me so far and am hoping this is a growing trend as she continues to grow and eventually be born. I still haven't had morning sickness (which I realize is a huge blessing). The bump is continuing to expand little by little and I'm hoping that I can stay in my regular clothes for just a little bit longer.

I still haven't felt her move yet, but any day now!

17 Weeks

I'm a little behind in posting the 17 week photo. It's been a crazy week!

Our little nugget is doing wonderfully. We saw a specialist in December to determine if there were any abnormalities...this is also the same doctor that at 12 weeks, told us we were having a girl! We received the final set of results this week and our sweet baby girl is completely healthy!! What a relief! I wasn't worried about anything happening to her, but it is nice to have a definite answer.

I have noticed that this week, my bump is poking out a little more. She's making a move upward, which poses a problem with clothes! I can still wear all my clothes, but my shirts seem shorter. LOL

Happy 1st Birthday Sophia!

Isn't she the cutest little thing? I had so much fun shooting this session! Mom always has the most adorable smocked dresses for her and now that it's public that I'm having a girl, I get to chat girl talk! It makes me even more excited about girls!!!

Seriously...I could just eat her up!

Dylan~9 Months

Poor little buddy was sick, so this is the ONLY usable picture I got...which is still pretty cute! Be sure to check back soon when I post pictures from his next session.



Couldn't resist the B&W!

16 Weeks

We found out what our precious bundle was back in December, but my husband and I decided to savor the news all to ourselves for just a little bit. Well, the time has come to finally announce that the newest member of our family is a......




GIRL!!!!



Here's my 16 week photo...we slacked and forgot to do a 15 weeker.

Summer~Maternity

Isn't she stunning? She's only 2 months away from having a precious baby boy!

Avery & Camille~1 Year

Another baby planner graduates...or two I should say! I have enjoyed seeing these two girlies grow up and become adorable little girls.

Camille~

She has always been the shy, slow to smile one, but the last two sessions have have been amazing! She has really blossomed into such a sweetheart.






Avery~

Always such a ham for the camera! Her smiles do not disappoint!
