52 Week Project – Week 3

Posted on January 24, 2011

Week 3 of the 52 week project and I am really enjoying documenting our family life. I look forward to have a record of everything we did together in 2011! I am excited just thinking about it all!

We started our week with one more day at the beach. We visited our favorite museum to visit as a family the Naval Aviation Museum. I plan to share more pictures and do a little review for you this week so I will only show a few pictures from our trip.

We stopped at the Lighthouse for the first time and ran around checking it out!

And home we went to get back on a schedule. One of the funniest things Sarah is doing right now is demanding to eat whole apples. She will refuse it if it is cut in anyway. She will walk around eating this HUGE apple for 30 mins until she is done.

We made brownies… shhh… I let them lick the bowl just a little.

 

My dad visited from Georgia. We had a great few days just being together. It is nice to have a low key family visit. I LOVE the pictures of him reading to E.

 

And my E asked me to take his eyelash picture this week. If I say anything else I will embarrass him when he is a teenager.

 

The biggest thing about our week is Sarah getting her own room. We live in a small house  and also work out of our home. My S has been sleeping in a crib in our room and our extra room has been our office. We decided last week that we are going to decrease our office and move it to our bedroom, that means Miss S has her own room. I am not usually the type of mom that gets sad to see my kids growing up. I am usually happy to see them grow a little and do more for themselves. I wasn’t expecting for my baby girl in one week… give up her paci, move to her own room, and out of a crib and into a toddler bed. She took it all in stride. I was a little shocked how well she took it. It has been bittersweet. She seems to have morphed into big girl overnight.

 

Thanks for sharing in our little world. Tell me what you think… Have a fabulous week!

In Home 9 month old session! – Vestavia Hills Alabama Baby Photographer

Posted on January 19, 2011

I met this family last spring when baby brother was still in mom’s belly. I was so excited to see him again at 9 months old. He is such a sweet addition to this family and you can tell that big brother and big sister adore him. They were so good about bringing toys and making funny faces behind me to get him to smile. I am always a little nervous when someone requests an in home session. I love sessions in YOUR home but I am not able to go into the session with a “plan”. It is very exciting in some ways. I walk in and ask you to show me around. I go into every room and look for the perfect spots. You never know what I am going to use!!  Every home is beautiful and there are places in your home that will make incredible portraits. I think it makes the portraits even more special because this is your part of the world and you now have wonderful pictures to remember it by.

So I am probably sharing too many from this session but I just can’t help myself… he is adorable! And when mom mentioned the kids changing into Indian dress, I was a little giddy. I love the colors! So what do you think?

Tea Party for Three Princesses – Birmingham Portrait Photographer

Posted on January 17, 2011

 I was looking back on the sessions I blogged last year and I can not believe I never shared this session with our blog readers. These sweet girls are some of my favorite girls to photograph. They are always so sweet, funny, and as you can tell they are absolutely beautiful. I talked to mom and grandmom about our next sessions being a tea party set up. My dream in my head of this sessions would work perfectly with three adorable and very different little girls. I love how three sisters from the same family look so different. God is so creative. : ) The girls had fun at our tea party and I did too. It was wonderful to watch the girls play and my “job” was to capture how precious they are at this age.

Something else that is special about this session is using my Nana’s silver. My Nana’s was the hostess with the mostest. In the 50′s she was a member several civic groups that would host parties using the finest china and silver. I am blessed to say she left it all to me. I remember playing with this silver tea set as a child and now I am seeing the next generation doing the same. My heart smiles real big…

I will be offering a day of Tea Party sessions in the early spring. Please send me an email or leave a comment if you are interested in knowing when I release all the details. I expect the Tea Party Mini sessions to go REALLY fast!

Leave me some blog love if you like what you see… don’t be shy. I don’t want to beg… I know you are reading.
