Baby Liam: 18 days old

Posted

Oh my goodness, what a cutie-pie to christen my new blog! I spent a sunny Sunday afternoon with Liam and his parents, a cool mountain breeze blowing in through the screen door, a new baby in his first home, and a mommy and daddy completely in love with their little family.

It’s safe to say that Liam has some photo-worthy hair…a little “rocker ‘do.”

See, he already rocks!

Some babies are delivered by the stork; Liam arrived via FedEx…

OK, I will give credit where credit is due! My photographer friend Tim Brown suggested a similar shot, and I jumped on it because Liam’s dad works at FedEx…PERFECT! (Thanks Tim!)

I love to show Liam’s size in relation to his parents’ size. Over the years, this is a photo we can re-create to show how much he’s grown.

In their “Coming Soon…Liam” post, I mentioned that Kristen and Mitchell have quite the love story. This is a picture of them when they began dating…when they were 13 years old! Loooove it!

Don’t forget to “show me (and Liam!) some love!” I love to know you’ve been here looking and to hear your thoughts. And how about finally having humongous photos on the blog?? Wooohoo! 😉

Little Miss Ella Jane

Posted

Just 13 days after Ella Jane’s Birthday, I visited with her, Robyn, and Burton for Ella Jane’s newborn portraits. She is such a sweet baby, and she has the cutest spikey hair. (Of course I’m not biased, considering Ella Jane’s mommy is one of my closest friends…)

Ella Jane has quite the collection of hairbows! Good thing she’s got the ‘do to pull them off.

Consider yourself warned: extreme pouty-face ahead.

A Clemson Tiger-in-Training, with Burton’s class ring.

And of course the little feeties with the wedding rings. (Happy 1st Anniversary, Robyn and Burton! 11/3/07)

It’s Ella Jane’s world now!

Robyn would say, “nude-y booty.”

As Ella Jane’s birth announcements say, “All of God’s grace in one sweet little face.”


Robyn, Burton, and Ella Jane–I love you guys! Thank you for always trusting your most precious moments to me and my camera, and thanks for being a crazy-good PR team for me. 😉

Gavin and Gabe: leave your own trail…

Things you need on a rainy day:

Giant furry dinosaur? Check.
Puzzle? Check.
Funny faces? Check.
New baby brother? Check.

Gavin, 3 1/2, is super-smart, really cute, and a very cool little dude. (He’s a Jack Johnson fan!) Gabe, 3 weeks, is an adorable little chunk of sweetness.

The sweet Big Brother…

Uh-oh, here it comes!

While mom Lindsay was taking care of Gabe, I got some fun pictures of Gavin!

Love his tongue out…it helps the concentration, you know!

The many faces of Gavin…

OK, content again!

Chunky feet! 🙂

I love this sweet picture of Mommy and Gabe…

Gabe’s middle name is McNair, named after his dad’s childhood friend McNair Bostick. From everything I ‘ve heard and read, McNair was an amazing man who loved life, loved his family, and loved the world around him. He was killed in a tragic bicycle accident in 2006 at the age of 34.

May Gabe and Gavin carry on McNair’s legacy: “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” –Ralph Waldo Emerson


(Thanks to the family for sharing this awesome photo of McNair at Mt. Fiji.)

David and Maria–Worth the Wait!

Posted

My sweet clients Leith and Bryant couldn’t wait to start a family when they got married several years ago. They both have a zillion nieces and nephews, and they were ready to add to the crew! As we all know, however, our time isn’t always God’s time. After quite a few tears, many prayers, but never giving up hope, God brought Leith and Bryant to Guatemala this summer, where they met their precious babies David and Maria. David is SO snuggly and out-going, wide-eyed and curious. Maria is a Mama’s Girl, with adorable dimples and the most squish-able cheeks ever. No doubt, these babies were worth the wait!

Hello cuteness!

Miss Maria…

Giggle-time with Mommy…

Leith, happy to have her hands full!

The sweet family…I keep saying that, but these really are the sweetest people! I’ve loved getting to know them over the years….engagement, bridal, wedding, extended family pics…and now the baby pics!

Checking out the “bow-wow” in the yard…

Squishy face on the glass as I was leaving…

Maria’s blankie says it all.

I think they already have…

Ella Jane’s Birthday!

Posted

5 years of dating, a 7-month engagement, less than 2 months of “trying,” 1 pregnancy test, 9 months of anticipation, 1 week past her due date, 1 day before being induced…..today my close friends Robyn and Burton became parents….it is Ella Jane’s birth-day!

Welcome to the world, sweet girl!

Ella Jane’s proud Poppa…prepare to be spoiled! 🙂

Robyn’s sister and brother-in-law…

Aunt RaRa and Catherine Grace

All the cousins! Zach was one of my very first subjects when I started photography. 🙂

Robyn’s nieces were so excited to meet their baby cousin Ella Jane.

Congratulations Robyn and Burton! I’m so happy for you!

By the way, while we’re talking numbers, mine and Robyn’s friendship is 40+ years in the making: not only did she and I graduate from high school together, but our mothers also graduated from high school together!
