::love is in the air::

S and J are full of love, life and just plain awesome individuals.  What makes them extra-special though, is how they are when they’re together.  Tender, loving, hilarious, fun…   During our shoot today, I loved how every once in a while hubby would step back and really admire his wife.  He’d tell her she was doing [...]

…announce it…

 
One thing I really looked forward to with both of my kiddos was sending out a birth announcement.   Why, you ask??? 
Because I loved:
*choosing the image and card that complimented that image the best
*sending something in the MAIL (gasp!) because life is so digital these days
*sharing our new little love with everyone 
 
When my pal, L, asked me about announcements [...]

Soooo much

Today was a whirlwind.  I have learned so much my noggin is spinning. 
Jess and I have just chatted for four hours straight (and that’s after a two hour dinner with photographers)…yipes.  Another super busy day tomorrow learning about photoshop. Yes!  Once I learn the BIG SECRETS, I’ll photoshop a couple images and post!  Get ready for [...]

Mr. Fabulous + his main squeeze

Aren’t they adorable?  That look on him is just SO cute!   She looks SO genuinely happy.  LOVE it!

These two are in need of some pics of them together (sadly, T is soon leaving us for a tour in Iraq), so we went out a couple times today to do a photo shoot.  
Today was the first time that [...]

Still up…

Was planning on posting some images I edited earlier today, but I’m in Fella’s room (and he’s deciding to not fall asleep).  It’s only…oh…1:30am.  Ugh.    
It was awesome to see my photographer pals today.  I picked them up at separate airports (who knew Mesa had a dinky airport with direct flights to Bellingham, WA?) and then [...]

^ ahhh…finally got those fingers in there! 
It’s been incredible watching this baby’s momma’s belly grow over the last 9/10 [...]

-comfort zone-

Let’s be honest here… “posing” for pics, or being one of the subjects in a photo shoot, isn’t the most comfortable activity.  Believe me, I know how hard it is to move out of your comfort zone when a camera is in front of you for an hour.  It does, however, get easier.  And more [...]

::that newborn pull::

After giving birth (both times!), it was always impossible for me to stop looking at my new baby.  With my eyes and ears, I would record every squeak, gurgle, nook, cranny, cry, twitch –  I was just amazed this little person was inside ME.   My little one was finally in the breathing world – so helpless, tiny, beautiful, perfect. 
This pic, [...]

On the Go!

 

I had a great time with the J family this afternoon.  It was toddler exploring at its best (and fastest) as we followed around little T.  She was energetic, sweet, and even a bit cautious. 
She’s right at that stage where she wants to break free (and does!), but still needs mom and dad around.   I [...]
