Maggie: Kid Shoot

November 24, 2009 – 1:55 am

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!!!

We have been slammed and I hate to admit it…but our blog is suffering for it! :( wah wah. BUT, we’re back and have lots more coming to you in the next few weeks! And now on to the goods…Lil Miss Maggie!

I have known this sweet baby’s parents since…well…since forever! I met her dad, Derek, when I was just 19 (a whopping 8 years ago!!!) when I worked at a local music store in college. I then met her mama, Holly, when she stole Derek’s heart. We shot their wedding…we shot Maggie when she was born and still in the hospital…and now this sweet little miss is almost a year and I cant believe how fast this time has gone by. Holly and Derek and expecting again this spring and we cant wait to be there for that as well. I thank God all the time for this family being a part of our lives. I am so excited to see what the NEXT 8 years hold for all of us! So, with no further ado…here is sweet Maggie. (Oh…and YES…she DOES look just like her daddy!)

I had to include these two as well. Anthony and Riley tagged along with me for this one and we just HAD to get these two little friends together. :) heheeeh Boys… :)

Alrighty…now Im off to celebrate the holiday & my birthday and spend some good time with my friends and family! Im so thankful for all of our faithful blog readers…for all of my wonderful clients….for my friends who I love very much…and for my family who I could not live without. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Lindsey & Andrew: Engaged!!!

November 12, 2009 – 3:42 am

Hi everyone! Meet Lindsey & Andrew. These two are so much fun and have such a great story. They have known each other forever…since high school and one day it finally clicked that they should be together (and we are so excited that they are!). They are a rarity in that they will be sharing their big day with lots of family and both high school AND college friends…lots of love and fun will be had by all at this shindig! We cant wait!

We had such a great time in downtown Roswell and then at the old mill. It got crazy cold and windy but it did not stop these two from snuggling and smoochin’ the whole time. :) Andrew has the best smile! Its borderline contagious and I love how isn’t afraid to be sweet to Lindsey in public. These two are going to have a wonderful marriage and we cant wait for their day to get here already!!! Okay okay…on to the goods…

okay…and as we were leaving the Mill..we spotted another lovely engaged couple coming down with their photographer to take some pictures. They were standing in the ever so popular “We’re at prom…but your hands are wrapped around my stomach so it kind of looks like were having a baby” pose. As we are walking Lindseys says, “Ha! So glad we didnt do the typical shots. I thought you would have us all laying in that big pile of tires or something!”…oh but little did she know that the big pile of tires was their last stop. I love it! :)

Our little chubs is 6 months old!!!

November 5, 2009 – 8:57 pm

Hey everyone!!!

I cant believe that our sweet little baby boy is 6 months old already! I feel like I have Vaseline on my shoes and Im walking on banana peels right now because he’s growing up so fast and no matter how hard I try to stop it from happening, time just slips out from under me. Dont get me wrong..Im ready for him to walk…and ready for him to make me homemade birthday cards…and for him to say “I love you mommy”…and ready for him to give me slobbery maple syrup kisses after breakfast… BUT, Im not ready for him to change. If he could just be a more independent super genius 6 month old that could speak and manage a crayon in his hand that would be awesome. :)

We took our annual family trip (with our friends Jill and Eric too!) up to Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in October and of course we had to take some pictures of our sweet little guy. Sooo…for all intents and purposes, these will serve as his 6 month pictures. :) Here ya go!

He would NOT look at the camera for a minute..silly little guy. But we got him!

(oh…above. Thats his granny bird! :) )

And lastly…no trip to Burts Farm would be complete without a hayride to visit Autumn and Gordy…he love’d them!
