Poor Kid

Bennett has the pleasure of spending the day with his coo-coo mother who really has nothing to do today, at least nothing she really wants to do (wow I really hope Chad doesn't read this on a regular basis).  So what does that mean?  We broke out the camera…DUH!  He is starting to bless us with some killer smiles these days and it's pretty awesome.  I haven't mastered catching them on camera to their fullest extent yet, but I'm getting close.  It's hard without an assistant…might need to rope Nolan into helping me next time.

Nichols Family

For this photo session we decided to take a little journey up to the family farm.  I figured this is going to be a special place for the two young men in these pictures in the coming years, so why not document them in their element.  With the farm as a setting I was inspired by a more rustic feel for my pictures, thanks to the Nichols family for humoring me.  Tractors and all.

And a few outtakes just for fun….

 

Violet 11 Weeks

Well for those of you that know Violet you know that she is well over 11 weeks now, apparently I am super duper behind on posting pictures these days.  I hate to blame this beautiful baby boy that is sitting right next to me, but I'm going to go ahead and do it.  Yep, I'm playing the "busy mom" card.  Anyway, just wanted to share a few pictures of Violet that I took a while back.  I won't lie, she was not in the mood for picture taking on this fine day.  But I'm used to that, I've been dealing with Nolan for 3 years now and I think in 3 years he has enjoyed getting his picture taken once.  I've already contacted Violet's agent and we are going to have a re-do very shortly, so be looking for those pictures coming soon.

Even when she doesn't want a camera in her face she's still precious….

Woldanski Family

Meet the Woldanski Family.  They too are a family of three that will soon be expanding to a family of four!  Noah is going to have a little sister soon and I think he will do excellent in his new role.  He is a very energetic little boy who likes all the typical boy things: dirt, sticks, farting noises, spitting…the whole shebang.  So as long as I could conjure up some funny noises every once in a while we were good to go for this photo session!

Enjoy…can't wait to meet Baby G at our next session!

Darnell Family

This past weekend I got to spend a little time with the Darnell family.  They wanted to capture a few pictures of their family of three, before they become a family of four in November.  I have to say that I give them all sorts of credit for being patient enough to not find out what they are having.  Crazy right?  I mean people still do that?  Both times I was pregnant I tried really hard to not find out, and ALMOST did it, but when that moment comes and they say "do you want to know"….I cave.  I had a friend tell me once that finding out what you are having is like finding out your presents before Christmas morning and ruining the surprise.  I think they might be partially right, I just figure I like to have my surprises a little early.  The Darnells are going to have one great surprise in November and I can't wait to hear what it is!
