From Our Family to Yours

With all the sickness I was a little later with my Christmas cards this year also. I like to have the pictures done by Thanksgiving and the cards shortly there after. Things just didn't work out that way this year. They still got out a week or so before Christmas so hopefully they all arrived on time. I decided to do more than just one picture this year and did a 5x7 folded card. I love how it turned out! I used a digital kit by Kristin Cronin Barrow and designed it myself. Here's our card for this year. The one of both kids is the front; the red is the inside spread, and the kissing shot is the back.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

We were a little later this year but we finally got all the decorations up and going. I had a bad sinus infection at the beginning of Dec. and then Rylie got the stomach virus last weekend so I was lagging in getting some pictures done. I want to take another one of the tree but I'll try that tonight so there's not light coming in from around the window. Here are a couple of the kiddos from yesterday morning.

A little redo

I wasn't able to get a good shot of my daughter by herself last night on Halloween, so I did a quick reshoot with her this afternoon. Here's my pretty princess.

A princess and a frog

Yesterday was the big trick-or-treat day. The little one kept his costume on better than I had imagined. We did get rid of the frog feet before actually going out and he didn't like putting the hood on, but once it was on he didn't mind. He was definitely more interested in eating crackers than taking photos though. Gotta love 17 month olds!

Little Man

I took this little guy's 6 month photos Sunday afternoon. It's such an easy age to photograph. Much easier than my 17 month old! He looked so cute and I couldn't wait to start editing them. He's just a little sneak peak for mom.

Twin Girls

I had the privilege of shooting twin girls yesterday. They were the sweetest and were up to anything I suggested. Rylie was with me so they got to play a little bit too. I've just started editing them but here are a few from the session.

More 1 year photos

I had plans this weekend to take Will to the Ole Miss campus on Saturday to get some outdoor shots. We were in town for my niece's housewarming party. Unfortunately we ran out of time and couldn't get by the campus. I did manage to get a few at mom and dad's house though. I can't believe how big my boy's getting!

Happy Birthday Baby Boy

I finally got around to taking Will's birthday pics today. He went into this cake better than he did at his birthday party, but still didn't make too much of a mess. I'm still working on editing them, but here's a few to start with.

My Girl

It's June and hot!! Summer is definitely here. At least it was a beautiful day; a great day for photos. Here are a couple I snapped of Rylie this evening.

Collage

I decided to try a college for Beth's photos of Ben. I knew she wanted several framed together. I saw this template at ILP and decided to try it with Ben's photos. I used the blue and dark brown colors from his bedding. I love the way it turned out! Such a sweet little guy!

Sweet Baby Ben

Last week I had the privilege of photographing my good friend Beth's new baby boy. He was so good and was a lot of fun to shoot. Here are a couple of my favorites.

An Iris and A Girl

It was an absolute beautiful day here today. When we got home this afternoon we enjoyed the outside for a while. It won't be long before it's too hot and steamy so I want to enjoy these nice days while I can.

On a different note, I ordered myself my Mother's Day gift today. :) I'm so excited! I got a backdrop stand and a few rolls of seamless paper. I can't wait to use them on Will's birthday photos!

My Little Guy

I snapped a couple quick ones of the little guy tonight between feeding and bottle time. He wasn't too happy about the wait as you can see. I haven't played around with black and white in a while so I thought I would tonight.

Birthday Party

The party is two weeks from today. Wow! I finally got the invitations made and ordered so they can go out first of next week. Cake is ordered and so are decorations. Now to just get the presents and we'll be all set! Here's what I designed for the invitations.

Easter 2009

My two babies last Sunday. Nothing sweeter. :)
