Ok, I'm officially envious of a 3 year old. I have serious eyelash envy when I look at these photos! Maddox has the most beautiful eyelashes. Seriously, the long thick lashes that women glue to their eyelids, Maddox has them naturally! And he also knows how and when to bat them to make the ladies swoon!
See what I mean about the lashes?!?
I am still catching up on blogging pictures from before Christmas. These are a few from my session with the Jester girls back in December.
Are you impressed, internet? This makes my second blog of the day! It's amazing what I can accomplish when I don't have my son asking to play hide-n-seek, for Kool-Aid, and all the other necessities of a 4 year old boy.
Heath, Chrissy, their kiddos, and I had a quick session back in November. I'm still on November sessions, folks! And when I say quick...I mean it. The whole session was maybe 10 minutes at the most. It helps when your clients live right next door, we call each other and say "You ready?", and walk across the street into Chrissy's mom's yard! So here are some of the photos from our speedy session.
I'm still catching up on blogging sessions from the holidays. Since the rain today has cancelled a session I had scheduled for this afternoon, I thought I would use the opportunity to blog a little. These are a couple from my family session with the Weatherford's. We headed out in the country to take the photos, and we were blessed with a beautiful day and yummy lighting.
These little darlings are near and dear to my heart! I've known Avery and Ashlynn since they were new to the world, and I've known their parents since they were young-uns themselves. Their whole family mean the world to me and my family, and I am so thankful to have great friends like them in our lives. I have to remind Carson that they are not related to us on a regular basis. On numerous occasions, he has asked me "Are Avery and Ashlynn my cousins?" Carson adores them all, and I think he may even have a little crush on Shawna. He loves it when she watches his class in the nursery at church. Every Sunday, he runs to the door of his class to see if she is there. When she is, you hear Carson's excited cry of "SHAWNAAAAAA".
We took some shots of the girls, in their cute little Christmas outfits, for their Christmas cards a couple of months back. Yes, I said months...I'm still waaaay behind on blogging all of my sessions from Oct-Dec. The girls really hammed it up for me, and they loved it when Shawna told them to make silly faces for some of the photos.
This session had almost all of my favorite things in it, and some of the things I just could not live without....my family, a beautiful location, best friends, adorable giggly kiddos, and laughing until you cry...it couldn't have been more perfect. Well, if we could have included chocolate in there somehow, that would have made it Perfect!
Misty and Keela are some of my oldest friends. They are old...I'm not! (I am so going to get an angry phone call over that last comment, but oh well.) We have been friends since big hair and tight rolled jeans. What did I tell ya?....old! But even though they are ancient, I couldn't live without them. They are my best friends...the ones I turn to when I need to talk, the ones I run to when I need to laugh, the ones I lean on when I need help, the ones I call when I need advice. They are my cheerleaders that tell me I can when I think I can't. When I am overwhelmed, they tell me that everything will be ok. They are honest, and will correct me when I'm wrong. Which never happens, because I am never wrong. I'm just saying if I ever happened to be wrong, they would tell me. They are kind of like my own little safety net. I know they will be there for me and whatever life throws at me, and I am a stronger person because of them. They take me as I am, and I am eternally grateful that they are a part of my and my family's lives.
We are a little silly when the three of us are together. If you asked my husband, he would say we were a little obnoxious. What can I say? We have fun together. We get each other. They are the type of friends, where you just know what the other is thinking. The kind of friends where when something happens that you probably shouldn't laugh at, you cannot look them in the eye because you know that will cause you all to fall out in the floor laughing. We laugh a lot! So, when the three of us get together with our families, it is an event. Even something as simple as us all going out to eat, is an event. The three of us laughing, our husbands rolling their eyes at our old stories we supposedly tell over and over, and our kids being kids. We are a little loud, but it is always fun. Our dining experiences usually end with Misty apologizing to all the diners who were unfortunate enough to be seated next to us.
So, needless to say our session was an event. Luckily, we were out in the country so we could be as silly and loud as we wanted. That day will always have a special place in my heart. Our kids were running wild, husbands were again rolling their eyes, and the three of us were laughing until we cried. It was perfect! We even managed to get all five of our little darlings together for a photo. Hence, the Herding Cats title. With my son, being the wildest cat of them all. Seriously, I took over 20 shots to finally wind up with one photo where they are all looking at me and smiling at the same time. It was worth it ,though. I love that one picture. It makes me smile and gives me the warm and fuzzies. It reminds me of my family, my friends, giggly kiddos, and laughing until I cry. It will always remind me of that day, and the people that I can't live without!
Test...test....is this thing on? It's been a while, yes a loooong while, since I last blogged a session, but my calendar and camera lens were so filled with smiling faces the past couple of months that something had to give. And unfortunately, it was my blog. I know this is kind of a backwards post...pictures then blogging...but my blog has been very temperamental lately! I can't tell you how many times I have tried to blog Millie and Jayson's family session only to have my computer crash. I am proud to say that I resisted the urge to throw my laptop across the room and was patient like the typepad help center told me to be. So, if this post is a little backwards, that is fine with me. I am just thankful I can start blogging my sessions from November and December.
We had Millie and Jayson's session on a cold and windy day. Seriously, internet, it was COLD.....and WINDY! It was so chilly, that Millie and the kiddos would snuggle under a quilt until it was their turn in front of my camera! But they were troopers and looked remarkably warm in their photos. I was very impressed!
