“”It’s double the giggles and double the grins…And double the trouble if you’re blessed with twins.”"

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Being the mother of twin boys, I KNOW that quote is very, very true! Mine are so sweet, but very rotten, too. Yesterday, I finally got my wish to work with newborn twins. These little fellas are not quite newborns as they are almost 3 weeks old. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as challenging as I thought it would be. I was very blessed that they cooperated wonderfully. I was also blessed that I had help. Thank you to my BFF, Heather, and thank you to a great friend, Heather M., for sending the little ones my way!

Anyone who knows me knows that my absolute favorite sessions are the newborns. Are they easy??? NO! lol! But, they are so worth it. I love the challenge of soothing them when they are fussy and getting swoon worthy images for their parents. Very rarely have I had one sleep the entire time. On the contrary, they tend to wake very often and easy. Usually, the sessions last 2-3 hours. Yes, I did say 2-3 HOURS. You have to allow time for feeding, rocking, soothing, and diaper changing.
Today, Miss Lucy was my most challenging subject to date. She did very little sleeping. But, omgoodness, she was so sweet and beautiful!!! Mom, Dad, and Aunt were very doting and helpful. For first time parents, they were extremely calm and knew just what little Lucy needed. Thank you for inviting me into your home to share in this joyous time!

I LOVED this image to show how tiny she is.

Sweet, handsome, little Cullen is turning one. If you have followed my blog, then you have seen this adorable fella starring numerous times. I happen to think his Mom is an absolute doll. (Ok, Dad is alright, too:) So, we get together every chance we can. Cullen’s big day isn’t until next month, but his party theme is “Down on the Farm.” Well, you know that means that we have to take some country pics! Here ya go!!!

{ Sweet Baby Deacon }

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Today has been a wonderful day so far! This morning, I got to meet and cuddle little Deacon. If you follow me on Facebook, you would know that I photographed Nellie and her boys for the much anticipated homecoming for Daddy. Well, that night, they welcomed baby Deacon. Yes, he waited for Daddy to get here and then decided it was his turn to make his appearance.

My best friend, Heather, was my wonderful assistant once again. It is such a blessing to have a helping hand with the newborns. We had fun, too! I hope you all enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

{ Welcome baby Wyatt }

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Yesterday, I went and visited with sweet, baby Wyatt, his adorable, big sister, and beautiful Mommy. Oh, he was so precious! The images we were after are very special. You see, this was another of my OpLove sessions. Daddy didn’t get to come home for the birth of his baby boy. So, it was my job to get some photographs of his wonderful family to surprise him. I think he will love them.

Little Miss G was such a treat this morning. Everything was a new discovery. It was the first time for shells, the beach, and sand between her toes. She was a pure delight to photograph as she explored her surroundings. Yes, Mom, you were very blessed to have such a sweet-natured child first. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, which isn’t very small because they all turned out so well that it was hard to pick just a couple.

{ i ♥ faces } weekly challenge- all about babies

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Well, this image was one of my very first newborn pics ever, but it’s still one of my favorites. Mom is a good friend of mine. So, she just let me borrow him for a couple of hours. (I am a mom of 5 myself. He was in good hands:) I remember looking down at him and thinking… ok, what am I going to do?!? Right about then is when he decided to give me this BIG grin. Over a year later and he is still just as cute!

{ Happy, Happy Birthday to Kayden! }

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Mr. Kayden last year. He has grown soooo much since then, but is still such a cutie! Right now, Kayden and his family are having a HUGE 1st birthday celebration. This morning, we dodged the yellow flies, rode the John Deere tractor, the golf cart, and smashed a cake. Here is just a small preview of what’s to come.

LOVED this little crab crawl, but it looks like a football stance in the pics. I would say we have a future Bulldawg here, except for the fact that his family would kill me. They just happen to be the biggest Florida Gator fans ever!

Isn’t this a gorgeous cake??? Kayden didn’t seem to know what to think about it.
