TWINS!

This was my very first set of newborn twins!  I’ve done newborns, and I’ve done twins, but not BOTH! :)  Mom and Dad were so relaxed – it was amazing.  I always think of when I first became a mom - and I was anything but relaxed!  We had a great time and these two little boys were a dream.  They pretty much slept the whole time – with one meal break.

I can’t wait to watch them grow up!  I’ll be doing two more sessions with them during their first year.

Proud parents…. :)

wonderful session, and a little rain

I had such a great morning with this family on Sunday.  It’s a good thing none of us checked the forecast before we met or we might have cancelled.  But – we got all the pictures done before it really started raining – then we stood around talking in the rain when we were done.  I know I’ve said this before – but I have to say it again – the best part about my job is the people that I meet.  Every time I have a session, I feel like I’ve made some new friends!   Little Miss “R” just turned two and was so sweet and full of smiles.  Mom and Dad were very relaxed and laid back – which makes my job so much easier.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me  – I hope you enjoy these preview pictures until the rest of yours are ready!

These are the infamous “purple crocs” that Mom said she wears 24/7 LITERALLY!  She even takes a bath and goes to bed in them!  Of course, they sneak in and take them off after she falls asleep.  Kids are so funny!

Just look at those eyes!

This was so cute – she ran up REALLY CLOSE to let my camera smell the flower. :)

Our very own little “diva”

my heart is so heavy

Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always thought the most important thing in the world is people.  Without people – what do you have?  Being from a small family with no siblings, I have been so lucky in my life to have many “surrogate” families that I feel very much a part of.   This family is one of them.  A group of people that are so loving, generous, kind and fun.  My dear friend and old roommate, Noel, lost her father yesterday.  I feel helpless being so far away – they are in California and I in Atlanta.  I wanted to honor his memory with some pictures I took at Noel’s wedding in November last year.  It was beautiful and her father was so happy and proud, even though he just received the news that he would soon be fighting a battle with cancer.   

So, here are some pictures –  in loving memory and my most humble tribute to a beautiful man and his wonderful family.  I love you guys.

Expecting little sis

I had such a wonderful session today.  This family of three is soon to be four.  Little sis will arrive in September and big sis is soooo excited.  Mom said she really wanted these pictures to be about little miss “E” and the new baby.   We had so much fun and miss “E” was EXTREMELY cooperative and sweet the whole time – it was amazing.  We got so many wonderful shots – I don’t even know how I will narrow it down!

Here’s a few for you all to enjoy.  This first one is definitely one of my FAVORITES! 

 

 

 

 This one (below) is also one of my very favorites.  I know everyone wants the smiles, but sometimes these tender moments speak so much louder.

 And the star of the show with her PRIZE for being such a great model!!!! :)

Can’t wait to meet the littlest miss “E” in September!

What Daddy’s teach their children….

I often smile to myself when I watch the things that Daddy teaches Kylie (sometimes on purpose and sometimes not).  Since he doesn’t spend quite as many hours with her as I do, he isn’t trained to think – “should I REALLY show her this trick?”.  For instance, if I forget something upstairs I might call up to Jeff and say – “Hey, can you grab my crocs?” – at which time he will come to the catwalk and proceed to toss them down to me…… hmmmmmm….. what do you think happens next in the story?????

Well – this trick is pretty funny and every kid should learn it.  Good job Daddy – for making life so fun(ny)!!!!!

** Okay, I haven’t figured out how to post the video INTO the blog yet – so if you are interested in a laugh – click the link below and it will play the video on your computer **
