It's Been too Long!

Well sorry for the long absence on the blog, I have had a lot going on. I actually have not been very busy with photography lately because I took a little break after I found out that I was pregnant.......I got pretty sick and was quite miserable for several months. Most of my blog readers already know that I am pregnant, so it's not news, but for those of you that don't...I am 24 weeks pregnant. I have been feeling pretty good for awhile now but about 4 weeks ago we recieved some devastating news. The sweet little boy that I am carrying has a condition called Trisomy 18. This is a chromosomal defect that means he has one too many chromosomes in the 18th spot and it basically affects his whole body. We have been told that I will not likely make it to full term and that if I do, there is a very big chance that he will be born still. If by some miracle he does make it full term and is born alive, he will probably not survive more than a few days. My husband and I have been struggling with the news, but know that this sweet baby boy must be a very special spirit indeed as his main purpose must be to get a body and return to his father in heaven. We are still taking things a day at a time and can only hope that we get to spend a little bit of time with our baby boy, but trust that our Heavenly Father knows best and we will understand in due time why he won't be able to stay with us. I thought I would just explain to everyone out there, that didn't know, what was going on in my life.

I have been avoiding life and work for awhile now, but realize that I need to stay busy and happy. So now I am back to work and wanting to have lots of photography sessions, because next to family, photography just makes me happy :) So for any of you that are out there that are wanting a photography session shoot me an email as I would love to capture some wonderful memories for you.

Like I said I haven't been very busy over these last few months, but wanted to share a few of the sessions I did do. Enjoy and have a happy weekend!!

They just don't come any cuter than this :)

My beautiful sweet friend Brianne had her baby and I had the pleasure of taking a few shots of the little man. Just one for now though :)

Mckay

How can such a tiny thing bring so much joy to so many people?! This is the newest addition to our family.......my brother and sis-in-law adopted this sweet little man and they just couldn't be happier! I am so in love with this little guy! He is so sweet and so adorable and makes a perfect little brother for Miss Morgan!! I got to take some pics of him which will come later because I have so many other pictures to edit, but I did promise somebody one. So for now feast your eyes on this gorgeous baby. We all just love him to pieces!! Congrats Jared and Rachel he is such a joy!

Alright just one more!!

Sweet Success :)

Oh the joy of a sleeping newborn!! The second time around was a complete success! We got some really cute ones. Hope this will suffice you Momma until I get back :) Have a Happy weekend everyone!!

Tiny but tough......

This sweet little man came a little too early and had a little bit of a rough start to life and ended up in the hospital the first week of his life. But he came home and I was so excited to come over and play with him. I had a lot of fun taking his pictures since I hadn't had my hands on a newborn in a while. I am so happy for this wonderful family and their adorable little bundle of joy!

A Sleeping Beauty......

Okay, so maybe the first time around she wasn't too sleepy. But she is still a beauty. We will be trying again in a few days to get some shots of this sweet little girl. Until then, here is one shot we did get.

Sweet little Ethan

Seriously, how insanely adorable is this little guy?! I was a little rusty with my newborn skills since it has been awhile since I have done a newborn session. All I have to say is Ethan was a champ and handled the situation very well :) I love his little mohawk in this pic and I just wanted to share one image for his Momma. Thanks for letting me take some pics of your little man!!

Levi

Well, what can I say about this little nugget except that I love him to pieces :)! This is one of my closest friends little man......isn't he ADORABLE!! I had the privilege to drive to Hollister to go take pictures of this sweet baby, and I had so much fun! I'm just sad that now that his momma isn't working and has a lot more time on her hands, she is 2 hours away :(! On a good note, it is a very easy drive which I plan on making on a fairly regular basis. That is, if they will take me :)!!

Sweet Ayden

I am trying desperately to catch up on my editing and post the sessions I have done over the past several weeks. This sweet little guy was one of the three newborn shots I have done recently. Isn't he adorable!! He has one really big dimple that was shown off in his preview shots if you scroll down and see the shot of the newborn smiling really big. I had so much fun taking these and he was so good for me, especially since I think he was about 5 or 6 weeks old when I took these!! AWESOMENESS!

These next two pictures crack me up! He really was sleeping like a champ, I think he was trying to tell me to stop moving his so much so he could rest peacefully!

Levi....a.k.a little bean

I couldn't decide if I should post it in color or black and white so I did both :). More of this sweet little man to come later!

Just a few......

So today I had the pleasure of going to take some pictures of one ADORABLE newborn. These photos are actually from our first attempt of getting some sleepy shots. We realized after awhile that we had scheduled his shoot during his awake time and thought we better just try again another day, as the light was quickly slipping away and we wouldn't be able to wait for little Ayden to fall asleep. So today I went back and boy oh boy did we get some cute ones. But for now I will leave you with some cute smiley pictures I got from the first time around. More to come later :)!!



This one cracks me up because it totally looks like he is throwing his head back laughing at a joke! Doesn't it??!! Oh and, did you see the dimple? SOOO CUTE!!

Because I promised his mom I would........

This adorable little guy is Logan. He is the SWEETEST little baby and has the most awesome/impressive head of hair I have seen in a long time! I had so much fun taking pictures of this little man. It made me a little baby hungry to be honest, but I don't know if I'm ready to add a fourth to my madness :)! I guess that means I just need to book more newborn sessions to satiate my craving until I am ready. I'm not done editing this session, but I promised Logan's mom I would post some to satisfy her craving until she gets the rest...........so here you go Kim, I hope you like them as much as I do!
