Ashtyn & Nolyn

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.  Proverbs 22:6

I had the pleasure of hanging out with these two little guys for the day on Wednesday.  Their momma needed a daycare substitute and I needed more models for my big baskets.  It all worked out perfect... well, almost perfect... it did start raining right after I carried all the photography stuff outside!  Luckily we have a nice, big deck to hide under with plenty of plush grass and enough lighting to get a few good shots in anyway. :)  When I said "big baskets" I wasn't kidding... Ashtyn is 4 1/2 and Nolyn is about 1... plenty of room in there for the 2 of them!  Thanks for all the smiles boys, it was a pleasure photographing you... even with the rain! :)

Timothy Titus

For this child I prayed ; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: 1 Samuel 1:27

 Timothy Titus, 5 months

My sweet little pudgy baby boy...  I love you TimmyT!!!!  Thanks for all the snuggles and spit bubbles my darling.  You are adorable!  It's been so hot out, it's not unusual for Timmy to just sport one of his snazzy cloth diapers.  This cute little star one goes with his eyes, wouldn't ya say!? :)  Hint: the spit bubbles are at the end...

Michael & Shawntel

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails...  1 Corinthians 13:4-8

About a month ago I was so blessed to be chosen to photograph a dear friend's wedding.  Have you ever seen a bride & groom look so happy? :)  I don't plan on backtracking with this blog (too many other things to keep up with!), but since I'm still working on their Storybook Album (that'll be another post!) I decided it's okay this time.  Also, I want to give a shout out to my good friend Amy Johnson, thanks for helping me get these gems edited!  Here are a few of my favorite shots...

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.  Matthew 18:2-5 

Brylle Danial, 3 weeks

What a wonderful day!  I got to photograph a precious little baby boy.  And it was a surprise...  My mom knows me well enough to be confident that I'll drop just about anything to snuggle a newborn.  A friend of hers was over with Brylle & even though they couldn't get ahold of me (I'm terrible about keeping track of my phone!) they drove up for an impromptu photo shoot.  I hereby declare that it is always okay to stop by with babies, I just LOVE sweet little newborns!  And what a great gift idea for a new mom... go ahead and bring your friends over with their new babies too! :)

His birth announcement.

 So HAPPY! :)

 Awe...

 Big yawn!

 I just love babies in baskets!

 I'm not offended when babies stick out their tongue at me.

 Gotta love the toes...

...and the fingers! :)
