I’m not a maternity photographer. Really, I’m not. But when a couple comes along like David and Melissa, I suddenly become one with a smile and a nod. They had this wonderful spot all picked out for me, the morning was clear with the fog just untangling itself from the valleys, so out we headed the day before Thanksgiving with a pocketful of dreams.
Thank you, you two, for letting me into your lives and sharing with me. I pray this next month is amazing for you, and all that you need it to be.
And this last one is just because . . .
I’ve been blessed by little ones this past week! Meet Fynn, one of the sweetest, most alert babies I’ve ever seen, lol. I think he’s afraid to miss out on anything, even at ten days old. Kate and Garret, you two are wonderful parents – I can see that already. What a blessed boy you have!
And one of him finally sleeping. . . ahhhh. SO worth it.
I hope you all got some much needed rest this weekend!
Oh my, what a sweet little bundle I got to play with this weekend! This little fellow was exactly two weeks old, and a charmer through and through. His mommy and daddy are parents for the first time, and I totally loved watching them dote on him and thoroughly love him and loving the fact that they’re parents. There’s a magic there as a family expands for the first time.
Thank you, Caleb and Amanda, for letting me come to your sweet, cozy home and rearrange all your furniture! lol I had a ball.
Have you ever met someone who just oozes coolness? If you haven’t, let me introduce you to Kayla. She’s happy, confident, and totally in love with tacos. (heehee, right girl?) She and I got to spend a little time together a few weekends back, and despite the rain and the gloom we had a ball.
Thanks, Kayla! You rock!
Oh gosh, last weekend. Gorgeous park, fun couple, pouring rain, lol. Yeah, that last part could have stayed away, but still we had a great time. Every now and again you come across a couple who has been married for a time but is still madly in love and acting like newlyweds. I love that in people. I love seeing that look in the eye that they give to just each other. I love hearing the banter and knowing they do it because they’re safe and secure in each other, not because they’re seeking reassurance.
Brent and Jennifer, thanks for the time you gave me. And thanks for being willing to huddle under the reflector in the downpour, too! The leaves were perfect, just as you both were.
And then this last one – what a story!
I’m hoping to have some leaf fight pictures up soon, too! (And see, Brent? I told you I wouldn’t post the one of you gobbling so expertly! Now the leaf-kicking ninja one, on the other hand, just might show up. . . )
Do you ever have those times when you just feel wrapped in love? I had one of those moments this afternoon, happy with the children on a field trip exploring the wetlands, amazed at the wisdom of God in how He put this world all together. Nature is awesome, and watching the children discover it is pretty cool, too.
On the way back, we saw this.
I have a few more shoots to share this weekend – this week has been a dash of doing, so this weekend will be a little slower. I’m catching up though, and it’s a good feeling. So many things in store for the new year, I can hardly wait! Stay tuned!
What a country we live in. What a privilege we hold to be able to choose our leaders. I don’t know about you, but we’ll be up late tonight watching the election returns. If you haven’t voted yet, GO!
