the big girl bed
The crib is gone, no more baby bed. It’s one of those mommy moments that makes me tear up and smile, all at the same time. I miss my little baby, but my big girl is so much fun! She LOVES her new big girl bed and did great the first two nights. She cannot stand the fact that she now has a gate in her door at night now though. She starts sceaming as soon as she sees it, which makes for a pretty rude awakening for us first thing in the morning! Other than that, she loves it, seems like she’s always dragging at least one of us into her room to see it! Jason finished putting it […]
Courtney
Meet Courtney – isn’t she gorgeous?! Pretty and the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. My portfolio is seriously lacking teenagers so I was thrilled when I got the call to photograph Courtney. It was truly an honor, as her parents are also in the photography business in Georgia. I am loving this location too…..I used it once before with little Ethan and it’s just perfect for teens. This time I shot at dusk so everything had a pretty golden glow to it, the weather was perfect! It’s a gold mine, Tulane University, Loyola and the gorgeous church are right next door with Audubon Park and Zoo right across the street. And of course St. Charles Avenue is filled with photo […]
my first macro shots
I took my new macro lens for a test drive yesterday. Little T and I dropped in to my mom’s house, she’s got a beautiful well kep yard and lots of pretty flowers. What I learned on Day 1…..I should have taken my tripod with me, I need to buy a remote for my camera and the wind is not my friend. Ok, but the sun is slightly more my friend with macro photography than portraits, so that’s good. I am a little embarrassed to post these, because well, I know they aren’t that good. But, everyone has to start somewhere and this will be a good point of reference to come back and look at as I grow and […]
insanity
I’ve posted this picture of Ty before but today, it just fits. You know your family is nuts when you husband has to call in to work and his excuse for being late is that his family is completely and totally insane. Seriously, that’s what he said! LOL!! First, let me start with last night. Ty decided to play a pracctical joke on us. He left for date night with my mom and Jase and I took little T out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse (she thought all the stuffed deer on the walls were doggies – that oughta put her in therapy!). We got home and were stuffed so Jase went to put on some sleeping pants. He walked […]
I’ve been on a black and white kick lately…
We know that cloning is illegal, sure hope you guys don’t turn us in!! I’m always wishing I could get great bath time shots with Taryn, but with an unfinished bathroom, it just never works. Exposed sheetrock isn’t pretty. I finally got a couple I like though… And finally, the bubble man. I broke down and bought the big bottle and that sucker is heavy. Blowing bubbles are our house is now a pretty decent arm workout =) Our arms get tired before we run out of hot air! Which is saying a lot around here!!! LOL I haven’t touched my camera in almost a week. I have over 800 personal pics to proof. I’ve never been that far behind! […]
