Like a Weed

Kids grow like weeds. I always tell mine to stop. Recently it has rained here like crazy, so much so that the side of my house, which is mostly dirt has turned into a swampy mess filled with huge weeds. Its so soggy out there and its rained so much it never gets the chance to dry enough for us to get back there and clean it up.Good thing its hidden from the front view of the house.

You should have seen her face when I asked her to stand in the mud and weeds. Her feet were sinking the entire time, we had to pull out the hose for our feet when we were done.

Oh, the things we do for a good picture.





*This picture was taken when she was laughing about a huge frog we saw in our swamp. She thought it was funny until he jumped too close. Then our session was over.

A Little Business

Now that I'm all caught up on editing for once (well, almost) I have a little business to attend to.

First, I just wanted to add a link to my facebook fan site on here. So, if you check my blog and have facebook...come visit!

Second, school starting today is a reminder to me that fall is on its way. Fall is the perfect time for pictures, couples, families, kiddos, you name it. Its a great time to capture your Christmas card pictures, and even create memories for Christmas gifts. I've already got some sessions on the books in the coming weeks and months, and I'm booking now through November - so book early so you can be sure to get in.

Can't wait to hear from you!

Oh Boy!

While getting ready for this shoot I realized that most of my shoots have been with little girls. I love little girls, but today I was excited to get to be with 3 adventurous, fun little boys. I had the best time...especially on the bear hunt after our pictures.

To Mommy: Could you make them any cuter? Seriously, I had the hardest time choosing a preview for you. They were all so cute, and so sweet.



This is "M". While taking his picture I told him he was so cute. He quickly corrected me by saying, "I'm not cute. I'm cool." Yes, you are.



This is "J". He didn't warm up to me so quickly. He was unsure about my big camera is his space. So to try to make friends I asked if he had a girlfriend (is it okay to ask a 2.5 year old that?) to which he replied shyly, "Yes." I asked him who it was and his reply melted my heart, he said, "My girlfriend is my Mommy." I think hers melted too.



This is "H". While taking his picture he stood up completely on his own. (Don't worry mom, I got that picture too.) I am not sure if he'd done that before or not, but his mom and I were pretty excited.



Taking pictures of these 3 brothers made me think of my own 4 brothers. I thought of how my brothers, now all grown men with families, are close friends. I am willing to bet these 3 will be too.



After a morning of playing for my camera their feet were a little dirty. (I bet this isn't the first time their mommy has seen 3 pairs of dirty feet.)

Timeless

I've been editing tonight. I am still working on the wedding. Hopefully no one is tired of seeing pictures of this wedding. I just have one more I want to share, and then we'll move on to other projects. I am personally having so much fun working on this wedding, but I want to get them done so the bride and groom (and their families) can enjoy them as much as I have been. (Soon, guys, soon!)

This image is a little different than others I have posted. I edited it into a vintage look, and it seemed so appropriate for a bride and groom just starting their life together. A vintage photo to me is a timeless memory, just as I believe a marriage is timeless.

I love this image. I love it in the vintage look. It reminds me of a saying I have heard,
"Take my hand and walk with me. The best is yet to be."
