A few as of late...

I have had the opportunity to spend time with so many great

families,

newborns,

lovebirds,

and teenagers lately.

I really wish I had more time to blog all of the shoots I've been doing,

but...

I just can't with my sweet kiddos, my awesome husband, and attempting to keep up with my sleep and exercise.

So I just want to say thank you to all of my clients that have kept me super busy this Fall and continue to do so. I love my job, I love the people I meet and the new friends I make daily.

One day.

One day.

I might be able to share more of my life and work with everyone. But as of now I'm just spending my time shooting and being a mom and wife and an every once in a while blogger!

Thanks and here's a few from a few different shoots.

Not many.

But, hey

it's somethin'!

Jane

This is Jane.

She was actually awake

for a lot of the shoot.

Once she was asleep

we took as many as we could.

She did great!

Isn't she adorable!

This purple blanket her aunt made for her. So cute for her nursery! We had to try some with Daddy's guitar.

Dax - newborn

This is my adorable new nephew, Dax.  He is going to be about 5 months older than my baby.  Yep, you heard that right I am pregnant again and due at the end of March.  Pretty exciting but that's one of the reasons my blog posts are few and far between.  I have been so exhausted this pregnancy, it's been very different.  We're super excited to add another one to our bunch.  

Dax sure has made me excited to have another newborn around.  I am ready to hold another little one in my arms.  

I went to Denver a couple of weeks ago and still need to post some of the shoots I did while I was there.  Hopefully I'll get around to it sooner than later.  It was a fun trip visiting an old friend and meeting a bunch of new families that I was lucky to photograph.  

Today is a little different day being that it's the 5th anniversary of my sweet angel boy that returned to his Heavenly Father 5 years ago today.  It's been a little emotional but I have been able to spend the day loving my two that I have here with me and being able to look back on the memories that we were privileged to create with Payton during his short earth life.  We visited Payton's grave tonight with the kids and they love to give his picture kisses on his headstone.  I love that my kids know who he is and that he will always be part of our family. 

Thanks to all of my friends and family that have given me calls or texts to tell me they are thinking of us on this day!

I love when newborns open their eyes and stare right at me!


This was near the end of the session and he was starving.  He found his thumb and sucked on it for a few minutes... pretty dang cute! 

Trying to play catch up... Ty - newborn

I cannot believe how behind I am on blogging.  It seems to be the story of my life right now.  My family blog has kinda been forgotten and I don't know if I will ever post on it again.  (hopefully that's not the case.)  And, well, this blog I am seriously going to try and play catch up.  

I love this family.  I have done pictures for them for the past few years, family and newborn.  Ty, the newborn, is actually 2 months old now.  How embarrassing that I am just now posting these.  Sometimes when it's been that long I just let it go and don't post them but these boys are too cute to not share.  Don't worry they had their pictures a long time ago I just never got around to posting them.  

He was an average size baby but in Daddy's hands he looks tiny!

Chayce

Cute newborn, cute kid, cute family calls for a cute announcement.  I have been loving blue and orange together lately sot this is what I came up with.  These kids were super easy to shoot and reminded me why I love shooting newborns.  Lindsay thanks for being patient in my weeks of craziness.  I really am hoping to get caught up on my posts...   hopefully sooner than later.

Walter

This little guy was definitely long awaited. He belongs to a good friend of mine. He was a little fussy throughout the shoot but in the end we got some keepers.




Daddy races sport bikes, so here is in his motorcyle "leathers." It's always fun when people bring in something that personalizes the shoot to them. It's nice to switch things up a bit.

Morgan

This is my new niece! The first one on my side of the family. (Since I have like 28 nieces and nephews on Jeremy's side) She belongs to my brother and she looks a lot like him. There are a ton of pictures here because she did awesome for me. She slept and slept and slept. She let me try a lot of new things that I've been wanting to try for a while now but just haven't. She went through a lot to get here, being that she was 9lbs. 3 oz. at birth and made here mama give us all a scare. Holy cow, I have no clue how my little sister in law accomplished that.

Anyway she's here, happy, healthy and is now a month old and already sleeping through the night. Lucky parents.

Gordon

This little guy slept so good! It was probably one of my easier newborn sessions. He slept and we moved him around a ton. I love his hair, his face, his lips, his eyes, really he made me really baby hungry all around. Yep, I just said that! He was so stinkin' adorable, I think I'm "almost" ready for another.


I love when I'm able to capture one of their "I'm almost in a deep sleep" smiles!


I love profile shots, it shows their tiny little features so well.
