Baby showers and Birthday parties!

Just wanted to catch you all up on what I have been up to lately. These are not actual sessions, but I of course had to have the camera out!

I had my friend "J" a baby shower one rainy Sat afternoon. We had a good time just hanging around with girls (and Braxton :), opening gifts, and eating!

"W" is going to be a rock star!

I have not made any post in a while, so I wanted to post something! So here is my latest favorite thing!

One of my greatest friends, Jenn, has also started her own little business! I get so excited when people have great ideas for a little side job!

This is a glass that she made for a friend of mine who turned 30 on St Patrick's Day! Such a cute idea! Click on http://www.jrgifts.blogspot.com or on the picture to check out her site!

A Miracle Baby!

Baby "K" entered the World Tuesday morning at a whopping 7lbs 6ozs. That is whopping compared to what the doctors were saying (a little over 5 lbs). He is happy and healthy! I name this blog the miracle baby, because Mommy and Daddy were told they would never have a baby! Truly an amazing story of how they were so close to giving up, and decided to get a second opinion, and the only thing the new doctor did was give them hope again. I am so happy that you guys made the decision to get a second opinion because he is so perfect! Congrats to the new mommy and daddy! What a wonderful adventure you guys finally get to experience!

Here are a few photos I took while visiting the family in the hospital! A newborn shoot will be posted very soon, but I could not help but showing you his face!








On another note, I am leaving in the morning for Vegas for a Wedding Photographer's convention with my friend Joy! I can't wait to update you all on my little adventure! See you soon!

Another glowing mommy to be!

Here is J...one of my BFF's! She is going to be a first time mommy in May! I am wondering if God is having a little humor with me right now considering I am just unsure if I want anymore children. So is he deciding to throw a bunch of beautiful pregnant woman at me to make me see how beautiful it all is, or for me to see just how uncomfortable they are? I am, for the time being, going to go with the latter, and I will just continue to picture them instead of trying to picture myself having anymore!

Anyway, we thought we would take advantage of the oh so beautiful weekend to create some oh so beautiful pictures! Thanks J for letting me take some photos of you today! Can't wait to meet the little man (and get a hold of him for some more oh so beautiful pictures)!

Glowing!!!

WOW! That is all I have to say about how beautiful "E" is as a pregnant woman! I had SO much fun doing this shoot with "E" & "K". I know you guys are going to be such wonderful parents (starting next week)! Can't wait to meet baby "k"!

I think his little foot is sticking out in this one :)
