Christmas

I know I've been MIA for a while. It has been a busy month! Between Christmas parties, shopping, baking, annual card updates, editing, and visiting family, I haven't had any time to keep my blog updated. Sorry, for those of you that continue to visit my site only to see the same thing everytime.

I had the opportunity to shoot a Christmas Tea this year honoring single mothers. My church, along with an organization called James Research Network helped to put on the event. It was a wonderful night of great food, fun with friends and sweet single moms that were truly blessed.

My parents came in town for the holidays. The kids were so excited to see their Nannaw and Papaw for a whole week. Plus, Sissy (my sister) was here too! We played lots of games, did lots of fun shopping, and ate way too much food! It was a fantastic Christmas!

Here is a pic of our tree and all the presents early Christmas morning. That same room was trashed just a few hours later! So much fun!
Last but not least, I had to post this pic of the ornament my cousin gave me for this year. My favorite leading man, Gerard Butler and me! Photoshop is an awesome thing. Thanks, CACI!!! I love it!

A STAR is born!

Look at this sweet baby boy! This is the baby from my very first maternity shoot. It was so neat to meet him in person and play with him during this session. The parents are having so much fun loving on him!

{ The T Family }

This sweet family, I'm especially fond of, not only because they are beautiful but because they are MY family! It is so nice to have even a little bit of family close by when you feel as if you live forever away from all the rest! I love my brother and his wife so much. And, well....those boys are the BEST!

I had a great time at our little shoot this morning. I tried to get your sneak peek up as quick as I could. Hope you like some of my faves!

{ The C Family }

Wow! What a weekend! After finding out that my pregnant sister-n-law was going to be induced on friday while on my way to The New Kids on the Block concert (yeah, you heard me right) with my cousin/BFF, we had to make some adjustments to our weekend schedule. Jimmy spent saturday contemplating his quick trip to Little Rock, AR and trying to book a flight. I spent most of the day organizing and getting ready for my afternoon shoot. He finally booked the flight and decided to leave right as I was having to walk out the door. This left us in a bind with, what to do with the kids! Ahhhh! Luckily, my brother and sister-n-law decided to watch them for us. Thanks guys!

The shoot went great! I loved this family, they were a blast to work with! What beautiful girls they have!
I always rush home to see what shots I got during the shoot. This day was no different, except I had to wait until all the kids were fed, bathed and sleeping before I could push that "upload" button. I'm not very patient.
Sunday morning presented its own set of challenges since I had to get all the kids to church on time and later try to find out what to do with the kids again while I attended a baby shower and bookclub! Turns out, I had to take my kids with me to both. They were pretty good, but I was definitely ready to dump them in bed by sunday night!

{ The L Family }

I had a wonderful time yesterday meeting and taking pictures of the "L" family. What a sweet family! We had a few obstacles with the weather and trying to keep that sweet little girl warm, but I think we managed to get some good shots. Just look at those blue eyes!

I hope you enjoy your little sneak peak. I have tons more to edit and look through. Gotta get back to work! Thanks again!

Family is forever

I spent sunday afternoon with such a fun family. They are close friends of mine and it is always fun to hang out with them. We went to a gorgeous open space with lots of picture taking spots. I took tons of pics, but I always try to narrow my favorites down for my sneak peek reveal. Here they are! Thanks again, F family for such a great shoot! Love you all!

Mama shoot

So, I had the pleasure to shoot another maternity shoot yesterday. One of my really close friends is expecting her third baby! She is such a beautiful mom! I tried out a few new ideas I had rolling around in my head. How cute is big brother playing cars with his little brother (wink, wink) on mom's belly. That "3" was a doozie to get to say on because little one kept kicking it off! So sweet! I love how some of them turned out. Here are my favorites.
