TWINS

Welcome to the world little ones! Daddy here has been deployed for most of Mommies pregnancy. He got home just in the nick of time because they came into this world the day after he came home. They are 10 days old now and Dad will be off again in just a few short days. I'm so happy that I was able to capture some precious pictures before he goes.

...it will live forever!

This reminded me why I do what I do and how important it really is. I'm truely humbled to be able to capture moments in time and memories that will live forever in our hearts. Thank you to all my clients and friends who have entrusted me with this responsibility.

FRESH...

They don't get any fresher than this! Our dear friends Jake and Sarah had their new little baby girl on Thursday night. I had the awesome responsibility of taking pictures of her just after her birth. She came into this world a little different than her Mommy was expecting, by c-section. Alan and I got to the hospital just in time to catch all the first moments. I felt a little like I was invading a private moment just a tiny bit because we were there before any family. When I was able to lift the camera to my eye and capture the moment their two little girls met their baby sister I didn't care one bit, I'm so humbled that I was able to document these moments for them.
I have had 4 c-sections myself and I missed all of these moments with my own children. I didn't get to be a part of the first bath, the footprint, etc. I was always way to drugged up to remember much. I made Alan snap a few pictures but I don't have many. So this was the first time I have been able to stand in the background and witness the joy of new life, it was remarkable.
My baby sister is having her second baby and I begged her to let me be there this time. She thankfully obliged me and I can't wait! When I gave birth to my little Tallula I was laying in the hospital feeling a sense of lose. I had never gotten to see the birth of a baby any other way than laying on a cold operating table. That's when I decided my sister was just going to have to let me be apart of her next birth. I didn't have to wait long, in a little over a month I will get to share the joy of new life once again. I could really get used to this!

Urban Location

Photobucket
My sweet hubby had the day off today and spent it driving me around looking for a new urban location. I was getting pretty bummed because we weren't finding anything. Just when we were about to head home I saw an alley way that we decided to go down. Check out the glorious goodness that we found! I made Alan hop out of the car and model for me, this spot is just begging for someone to take pictures of it.
If your looking for a fresh new spin on your yearly family picture or an awesome spot for senior pictures I have the place.

One Year...

It goes by way to fast doesn't it!!! This little man came into this world just a few short months before my own little one joined this world. Taking his 1 year pictures was absolutely a blast. One of the cutest thing about him is that he has his own little language. He just talks away as though he's in constant conversation with you. Unfortunately I couldn't understand what he was telling me, the job of interpreting would have to be left up to his sister.
