It’s been quiet around here!

I’ve been working on various things, and have been remiss in updating the website!  Will have to fix that.

I’ve also been traveling and have more traveling to do – a lot more.  In fact, I need to go pack right now so I can get up in the middle of the night to go catch a flight, and I just came from the airport early this morning.  I had one of those nice west coast to east coast over night flights.  I’m going to be feeling soooo good tomorrow.

I was sight-seeing in Seattle, but I also took a newborn photography workshop with Jaiden Photography.  She has this amazing way with newborns… just picks them up and puts them back down again, ready to go.  Simple as that.  Pretty much.

I’m looking forward to going back through everything from that day!  But for now, here’s just a quick peek at one shot.  This is a 4-day-old little boy, posed by Jaiden Photography, photographed and edited by me.

For now, I’m off to a hot and humid destination.  I miss you already, sunny Seattle weekend!!

Sara + Bryan

So happy for this couple.  They came all the way from Oregon to Atlanta for their wedding, and I’m so glad they did.  Because I got to be there!  And because it was good to see this girl home again.  You see, she grew up just down the street from me, and was a frequent playment of my little brother’s when they were children.  (And, may I say, the sweetest of the little street gang.)  In fact, I used to babysit for some of the younger members of her family.  So seeing them all together again…  I was having so much fun I felt like just another guest at the wedding.

Thanks for letting us be there for your day, Sara and Bryan!
Here’s a look back at some of the highlights of the time at Chastain Horse Park:

looking back on Mother’s Day…

Wishing all you moms out there a beautiful day today!

I’m lucky enough to get to spend mother’s day with my own mom; the best mom in the world.   I’m also thinking about both my Grandmothers today, and missing them.  Grandmothers, my aunts, my mom – even a few other moms who have helped me along the way – sending thanks to them all.  I have strong, smart, devoted and loving mothers in my family.  Wouldn’t trade any of them for the world.

Instead of a recent photo, I’m going to post one of my favorites of my mom with each of her children – me, my sister, and my brother.  The look of these old photos takes me back to the feel of childhood.  Thank you, Mom, for never letting us doubt we were loved.
(Even if you had to dress Brock in the words. 🙂 )

I am just seeing this, Jenn. This is lovely…thank you so much. I had a wonderful Mother’s Day this year. The best part was spending time with all my girls. I am happy we got to extend our celebration into the week. Thank you for posting these photos. They are some of my favorites, too. And thank you for not using more current photos of me.

party in pink

A first birthday party for sweet A!   To celebrate, A was surrounded by loving family and friends, and baby girl pink.   And like a true lady, she only nibbled at her cake before turning her nose up at it, and scooting away in her tutu to play with some cars.  (I was there for her brother’s first birthday almost 2 years ago, and he had the opposite reaction to his first cake.  The boy attacked that thing with a perseverance and patient determination rarely seen before.  Further proof on how different siblings can be!)

Thanks for letting me share your birthdays!  It was another great one.
Here’s a preview of the party:

[…] these guys since older brother’s first birthday.  And you may remember little sister’s first birthday here.  She wasn’t feeling as well this day!  But she was well enough to greet the family dog […]

Wanted: All Cowgirls and Cowboys!

When sisters are born 5 years and 2 days apart, you know what that means…   a joint birthday party!

I’ll admit, as a near 7-year-old, Sara Beth wasn’t initially thrilled by the idea of sharing her birthday party with her 2-year-old sister, but she got past it quickly and very graciously shared all the attention.  The theme was “cowgirls and cowboys”, so I had to take a lot of pictures to capture all this – sorry for the long post that is about to follow, but these girls are also my nieces, so that’s what happens when I’m around them.  Lots of pictures.

Had to get the decorations that my sister set up, and got a few of western-styled Sara Beth while Lilly napped, and then the chaos and ponies began.

This is what the day looked like:  Some old family friends, some cousins, ponies, boots, freckles & pigtails, hay, necklace-making, water-pistols, cake, a pinata, cowgirls with dirty knees, and some lovely end-of -afternoon lighting.
