Yep, I didn’t want to stress over these. I still had a million ideas of my own but didn’t get to all of them and some of them he was just too big…isn’t that sad because he still so tiny.

My friend Skye took these for me and I want to thank her a million times for relieving me from my stress levels going way up and not mention I LOVE them!

He seriously was so good for the photos and I worried the whole morning that he would be a pill but not so. He was PERFECT!

Isn’t this hat the cutest ever! And it fits so perfectly.

And here are some that I was able to get.

3 days old

He had his blood drawn a lot because his Billi count was too high and was on the lights (or tanning bed) for 2 days.

5 days old here

Individual sibling shots but haven’t got the girls yet.

WOW! is all I can say.

We welcomed this little baby boy of ours on August 1st, 3 weeks ago, and we call him Beckam he was 8lbs 19.5 inches…the labor was 3 hrs and 20 mins and everyone in the room (it wasn’t like I was having a party it was just the Doc, nurse, Greg and Angie…photos!) said “I made the delivery look easy” and its only because I had an epidural of course.

We just can’t get enough of this little one…especially at night! I feel that I have completely forgotten how to do all of this. It’s like its my first baby. I am a little crazed right now trying to figure all of this out but at the same time enjoying so much of him and my family.

Here are some photos to share with you.

Angie took the delivery ones…thanks again I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

This girl is BEAUTIFUL inside and out she was my senior rep last year. Here was her first session we did.

I loved doing this session.

This little doll face was visiting Grandma & Grandpa when they squeezed in some time for photos…and they really squeezed it in their busy schedule. I have loved photographing and meeting all of these people from out of state it really has been an honor.
This one was fun it was all about little “L” and she has the biggest smile its all she would do except for at the end she was ready for bed but she she was a big trooper to get the shot with the Pram. Dad use to have something like this when he was younger. I’m glad we did the shots they are super cute.

Look at this smile it really feels like she is laughing hysterically…maybe at me for trying to bend over 9 months pregnant.

She was smiling so much that she kicked herself backwards and fell off and cried.

Then daddy consoling her…LOVE this shot!

Here is Cami she is a 2011 Senior in Texas she was out here visiting family and last minute decided to do her Senior photos.

Enjoy them…she’s a beautiful one!

That’s where this family came from and I had the pleasure of photographing them and this sweet 2 year…a little work…as they are at that age but see how cute she is and the boys were wonderful to work with.

Because it’s me in front of the camera. It was a little…well, I just didn’t like it very much. I have a complex about seeing myself on film but I do it so that my children can remember me at anytime not just in high school or when I got married…all the after I’ve had children and even the pregnant times. I do have to say it was hard and I really feel for my clients.

I love the photos THANK YOU so much Stephanie for taking them for me. Just gotta swallow my pride and get past the issues and know that my kids will love seeing me…at least I think they will.

FYI: I am due August 7th and I plan, though the doctor doesn’t know this yet, on being induced a week early. I will not be taking any more sessions until October maybe longer I just don’t know how this having 5 children will be for me (just know I will be taking care of those that are scheduled don’t worry about that). So, if your wanting the fall family sessions contact me to get scheduled or if I fill up I will give you some referrals.

Peace Out!!!!

Gotta write it down while the frustration is FRESH in my mind. But also know that I am really writing this with a smile…cuz it is kinda funny!

So 3 years ago we buy a house to remodel thinking this will be FUN!!!! And it is - when you see the progress. But in those 3 years you don’t plan on the economy taking a dive and then property value goes down and the best part is the husband has been out of work for a year (as in steady income)…as of 2 days ago he now has a steady income that I can be happy with.
At this point we have come along way on the remodel mostly focusing on the inside and I am loving how it has turned out. But while we are REPLACING we also FIXING and by now it’s getting OLD and I’m a little tired.
Today I am walking into my kitchen and I see that the floor is wet in the basement and so I decide to take a better look at it and come to find out it’s flooding…I want to SCREAM and then CRY I can’t keep up…then the smile appears on my face, thinking back to a few days ago when I told my kids that our house could burn down and I would be fine with it (they were appalled that I would say such a thing) but just as long as my family and my photos could get out safely.
So, I sit here typing while I have 3 rooms in my basement completely wet and I really don’t care. I think it would be awesome if the flood technician says that the carpet is no good and you should replace it…wouldn’t that be COOL!
At this point I pretty much think this house is not worth the fight. It’s dying as fast as we are fixing it.
But HEY give me a few days and I will be right back into what else can I do to make it better.

Here is a look at the house. The curb appeal is gone but it has potential - right! That’s what we thought buying it few years ago.
It could use a new exterior, & windows, I wanted to add some posts to the exterior. Then the landscape now that’s another friggin’ story…is there anyone who wants to do trade?!? If I could get rid of those darn weeds…they haunt me everyday. Here is some advice to any out there buying a home - flower beds are not cool they are too much work so don’t have them - it will save time weeding.

I’d like to say they came all the way out here from Ohio to have ME photograph them but it’s not true she was visiting her friend and thought she would get some photos. How fun it was for me to chase this little one…8 months pregnant. I was sweating and I’m sure mom was too. I ‘m so happy to see all these cute shots of the fun we went thru to get them. Seriously love my job!

This is one of my seniors 2008 and now she is engaged and getting married in August. How cute are they?

Enjoy!!!!
