Beautiful...

Okay, here are a few more! Just have to say that this pregnant momma is beautiful...absolutely glowing! Enjoy! :)











Such a cute family! Have a great week!

Sneak Peek for the D Family

Today was another Maternity session. M was one of my free sessions so I could get experience with Maternity shots. She is beautiful, sweet and I am so happy and honored that I was able to shoot her and her family today. They were a fabulous family! So flexible, easy going...I had my pick of where ever in the house, outside, backdrops, moved furniture (sorry I forgot to put it back!!!!)...you name it, they would do it! Thank you D family! There were several that popped out at me, but I am falling in L-O-V-E LOVE with the ones of M's little girl kissing her belly. Miss S was adorable, fun and was so excited to see the pictures on my camera...I loved it! She reminded me very much of my little N, which added more to her cuteness for me!! What a sweetie! Baby B is going to have a great big sister! Truly can't say how much I enjoyed today. One more thanks to M again for volunteering, especially being on modified bedrest! Total trooper!!! Thanks! So, I will post a few tonight, and hopefully have a few more to post tomorrow!

Here are the kissing Baby pics...I can't decide whether to use the one with S looking down or looking up at her Mom for my website...and then it is deciding between black and white...decisions, decisions! Any suggestions?!?!? :)

I am liking how this one turned out with everyone's hands giving Baby B a hug! :)

And this one melts my heart...too sweet for words...

Thanks again D family! Have a great night, and enjoy tomorrow's glorious day!

One More Today...

and done for the day! Going for a bike ride...in short sleeves...Yea! Here is a collage that S is using in her baby's room. We are anxiously awaiting this little lady!!! S picked the pictures that she wanted in the collage and this is what came of it! Enjoy your weekend!

Try This Again...

I was trying to upload a few more shots last night, from my session on Wednesday, but for some reason or another, blogger wasn't having it!! So, trying this again...

I love how this one turned out...

Isn't this little lady so darn pretty?

Little bitty hands...

And of course, back to her pretty eyelashes...

Have a great Friday! Maternity session tomorrow...very excited to get more practice in this area!!!! Sneak peeks from that session to come sometime this weekend!

Miss Sweetie Pie Sneak Peak

Oh my goodness! The eyelashes on this little 8 month old girl are to die for!!!! She is as cute as pie, has a sweet little temperament, and I had a wonderful time with this session today. The nursery was as beautiful as ever also. M is going to have to come redecorate mine someday...she did a fabulous job...so pretty and perfect for a little girl to grow into! So, here are a few quick ones that jumped out at me...enjoy the sneak peek!

I am in love with these eyelashes...pass them over please!

In her crib...super adorable expression.

Her eyes are so pretty...and yes, on her right eye, you can see just how long those lashes really are...they touch her eyebrows!!!!! Jealous!

Cool furniture too...I so wanted to steal a chair from this room, but I refrained! I figured that would be bad for business! ;)

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek. I may be posting more...but now, I need to make some dinner! Have a good one!

Tomorrow...

Hoping for beautiful weather! Session with a beautiful 6 month old little lady! Check back to see sneak peeks tomorrow evening (or Thursday...things don't always go as planned around here!!!!).
Enjoy the sunshine!

A Few More...

From yesterday's session...

Love this one...

Piggies...my weakness...



The eyes...



These are too sweet also...

Back to my show...commercial break is almost over! Hope you enjoy these!

Sneak Peeks for the "E" Family

Sorry, if you have been waiting for these...here are a few that I wanted to post for now! :) I had a great time with this session! Four year old N was an absolute HOOT! He was in total control...inside, outside, over here...picking poses...smiling..and of course funny faces!!!! I had to post a pose that he made up from in his bedroom. Only a boy, I think! I love the personality of this little guy! Hope you enjoy!!!!

This one I had to giggle. I was crouched down, and he had been standing up. I said "looked down here at me" and before I knew it, he crouched down. Turned out so precious!

The bedroom pose. He was full of great ones!!! I would have to say that this captures his personality!




What a beautiful family! One of the few with everyone looking!!!!

Keep Your Fingers Crossed...

That tomorrow's weather isn't too dark and dreary to prevent a much anticipated session with a great friend's little boy and her family! Crossing hard...

Did I miss LOST this week?

I had a nice evening at a friend's party, came home so my husband could go meet his friend, who just came in from CA, and was geeked that I was going to be able to sit and relax and watch LOST! Girls even went to bed like champs, and those who have heard me complain before, that was quite a feat! 8:58...come down, plop on couch...NO LOST!?!?!? Or did I miss it...was it on last night??? There aren't too many shows that I like to watch, especially now since everything is delayed from the writer's strike, but I really was looking forward to brainless entertainment!!!

So, instead, I came down to the computer. One of my favorite spots! I went through some pictures from the weekend and of this week. Here are a few of the girls to enjoy. Also am throwing one in of my niece. They were in town from Dayton, visiting my mom since she had surgery last week. And, if you have talked to me lately, you have also heard about the flood in my parents basement. I am putting a picture up of the heap of garbage that everyone (but me, since I was in sessions, and came at a point where I was useless) worked so hard on getting out of the basement. I DID get to help load it into the dumpster though! :) By the way, the flooding was a total blessing in disguise. It was in need of an overhaul, and it sure is hard to save anything when it is soaked!!!

The Garbage!

Can you tell my kids are used to their mom constantly having a camera in their face?

My niece H...doesn't she look so much like my M??? Cousins for sure!

Dancing with her shadow...again, loving having her picture taken...especially when having the ability to use her free will to do what she wants in the "shoot".

Okay...I am liking this next one. It is a little bit different, but I love that the focus is on her feet. She was working so hard at making herself swing, and kicking her feet out so hard...it was too cute!

M climbing up the ladder to the slide...like a big girl! Can we say "Yea!", Mom doesn't have to place her at the top 500 times in a row this year!!!!



Loves swinging...especially at her BF/Cousin's house!

Her eyes are so darn pretty...

Total G face here...

All in all, the past two weeks have been crazy...scary...lonely...busy...fun...exciting...

Hubby was out of town for a week...leaving me feeling crazy and lonely, but with everything going on, the time went fast and he is home safe...God seems to have things under control with the best timing.

My mom's surgery went sour with a nicked artery...very scary, but God kept her safe and now is doing well. Thank you, Lord.

Parent's flooded basement...adding to the craziness...again, a blessing in disguise!

My brother Noah landed a fabulous job...during normal people hours, making great money...
Lucas got the part in Spring Awakening...read previous blogs for catch ups...
Tyler (lead of Grease this year...also see previous blogs) won Bedford Idol and a $500 scholarship and went on to win the Monroe County Idol competition and a $1000 scholarship and also getting to record a single with Hunter Brucks...
EXCITING, FUN, BLESSED!

So some pretty cool things kept me going through a pretty rough week!

Well, I would like to say now, that this will probably be the longest post that I ever write here!!!! My goodness!!!! Hope you weren't too bored! Time for BED!!!!

Update...

My brother, Lucas, whom I took head shots for a couple weeks ago, has landed an ENORMOUS part in the Broadway show, Spring Awakening!!!!! He made the FIRST National Tour...major thing to accomplish! Way to go Lucas! You can read all about his major role on his blog, and follow him as he goes through this tremendous experience. He is an understudy to both leads, and will be playing a lead for one of the shows every weekend...he is living his dream, and we are so proud of him! That is all of my bragging right now...

Hope you had a wonderful day!

Had to post this...

I am up WAY TOO LATE! Just processed this picture...I can't believe how strikingly blue Miss R's eyes are...they melt my heart!
Okay, back to work...perhaps bed...?

More of Miss "E" From Saturday...

Said there would be more...here are a few...is this not the future Gerber baby? I couldn't get over her cuteness!!!

My favorite...for right now!

I think baby "E" was starting to get sleepy...she was a total trooper for an hour and a half PLUS!
Thanks for the great day "H" family!

Sneak Peek - Miss R and Mr C

Oh my goodness...these two gave me my workout yesterday! They were so full of spunk, excitement and constant busyness! The session was for 1 year old "R", but I wanted to get "C" in a couple with her. Ended up taking many of BOTH sweeties, and got a few together. The best opportunity to get them together was when the cake was pulled out...who wouldn't want to dig in with HANDS into YUMMY frosting?!?!?!? A kids dream...especially for "C" being that it was "R"'s cake! Fun, fun, fun session yesterday! Thanks to both families for a great day!!!!!

Color or B/W...couldn't decide...had to put both up!

Mmmmmm...cake!!!! (Better yet...FROSTING!)


Yes...he is licking her hand...how adorable!!!!


C's expression...too sweet. R's eyes...too beautiful!

Hope you enjoyed a little "taste" of yesterday's sessions!

Sneak Peek for the "H" Family

This was such a fun session. It was mainly of 6 month old "E", but also got a few of big brother and big sister in the mix too. I had to post a sneak peek of the three together...there will be more to come, but I thought this one showed the personality pretty well! Stay tuned...

Randoms...

N got a new bike for her birthday, and of course with that came the cool new helmet...she is getting pretty good at riding her bike. It is so much fun to watch her grow...ahhhh.


This is just a random of M today. All of her faces, and all of her talkative-ness (is that a word?!?!?) have made all of us laugh right out loud lately. She is a little doll, with a little bit of Diva!



Two fun sessions tomorrow! Can't WAIT! Looks as though it is supposed to be nice outside...perhaps we can even get some outside shots!!!! Wouldn't that be a change of pace from the gloominess we have had today. Can't complain though, yesterday was beautiful (a little chilly) and we were able to play outside!

Sneak peeks of sessions to come this weekend...or early next week!

Collage

Just another sample collage...so many other things I should be doing...but how I LOVE to work with images!
