Reese 8 Months

I finally took some time to take pictures of our sweet little Reese. I got home from a session and I was on a role! I haven't found time to go to my studio with all of my backgrounds and props but time was ticking and I needed some photos of this sweetheart! So I threw a blanket over the back of my couch and created an in-house studio. It actually worked out great and I love how they turned out. Enjoy!

Bear Lake Sink Bath

I happened upon a picture folder on my computer today and found these beauties of my baby. They are pictures of her first bath in the Bear Lake sink back in the first week of August. I couldn't resist taking some time and editing them. Where has my baby gone? Look at this sweet thing! I can't believe how much she has changed. It makes me sad. I love this princess and want her to stay this small!!!

ps. this blog is becoming a photo blog, not a story of our life blog. Sorry.

I think this one is my favorite... Baby and daddy...

All this cleaning wears her out. Can you blame her? It's tough sitting in a tub of warm water getting rubbed down. 

Blessed

We blessed our little sweetheart in September and it was a beautiful day. The weather, the company, this girl. She was so good and Steve gave her a sweet blessing. I'm so grateful to have her in our family and so grateful to have so many loved ones out to support us. Aren't we lucky? I couldn't feel more blessed.

2012 Family Pictures

My good friend Emily is a photographer and like me we both drag our feet when it comes to getting our own families pictures taken. I can only speak for myself here, but there is a reason I am behind the camera. I have no idea why Em doesn't jump at the chance. She is beautiful! Anyway, we got to talking and she had the brilliant idea of going away for a weekend and swapping picture taking.

I think the weekend part was what convinced me. I mean, hello? I just had a baby 3 months ago. In what world would I want to take a picture of myself in that state? Well, I caved and decided it was more important to have pictures of my family no matter what I looked like.

When all is said and done I am so glad we did it. The weekend was a hit, I love spending time with Emily's sweet family, and now I have pictures of my cute family at this crazy stage in our lives. Somehow Emily got everyone smiling and looking good. Thank you Em! You're the best!
