River is 3 Months!/Asheville Baby Photographer

My baby boy turned 3 months this past week!  He is the absolutely sweetest little thing I have ever known.  I love how easy-going he is, how he smiles at us constantly, even in the middle of the night.  I love his wide, open mouth little face.  He is just so happy!  Taking his pictures today was so much fun because he was just throwing out the smiles left and right, until the end when he started getting tired.  Yes, tired.  Me too little buddy.  He has been keeping us up so much at night.   zzzzz  We are seriously about to die.  Some days I don’t even feel safe driving.  I feel like I’m on Mars!  I’m not sure what to do about it or why it has gotten worse but man, he’s killing us!  Thank goodness he is so sweet and adorable.  It makes up for it….a little.  😉  We love you little man!

Lately every time I do baby photos for someone else, I think, “Awe, why didn’t I do that with River?”  So I recreate it for him.  I wanted to use the lanterns once again before taking them down.  🙂

Playing Footsie/Asheville Baby Photographer

I’ve been wanting to do this photo since River was born and for some reason we just haven’t gotten around to it until today.  It’s so hard to believe that those little, sweet, precious feet are going to be the feet of a grown man some day!  I’ll kiss them now all that I can!  Happy 2 months sweet little man!

Summer is Upon Us!/Asheville Child Photographer

Looks like summer is just around the corner and we can’t wait!  It was a loooong, cold winter, partly spent in NY and some spent up on this treacherous mountain that we live on.  😉  Some days were spent stuck inside because I just couldn’t bring myself to risk getting down the driveway after not having driven in 8 months!  (We didn’t have cars in the city so driving made me feel like I was 16 all over again!)  So bring on the sun, the long days, the evenings spent having drinks by the pool, and the bikinis!  Okay maybe not the bikini this year since this momma just had a baby.  haha!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Mya!/Asheville Child Photographer

Wow!  I can’t believe my baby is  turning 3!  In some ways I feel like she was just born, but at the same time, I feel like she’s been with us forever!  I was very excited to do her pictures and have been thinking for a while what I wanted to do.  I loved her pictures from last year.  See here.  But, it was not fun trying to get her to smile for me then.  I had to trick her into taking her pictures.  No, no, I’m not taking pictures of you!  I’m taking pictures of the bluebonnets!  From the time she was about a year old, I could not take her pictures without her screaming and crying!  Since I was in the process of wanting to learn all that I could about photography, this was a huge disappointment to me!  She was my main subject!  Well, lately, all of that has changed and she has loved having her pictures taken!  Yay!  UNTIL yesterday!  Yesterday was the day that we planned on doing her pictures.  It was also the day that we went to the most insane Easter egg hunt in the world.  And it was also the day that we decided that she didn’t need a nap because she woke up so late in the morning.  BAD idea!  She did not want her pictures taken and refused to cooperate.  On top of that, there were only about a million gnats swarming all around us the entire time that I was trying to take her pictures.  I was so ready to lose my mind!  I really don’t know how I got any decent pictures, but somehow I did and I just love them!  Next year, I told Ryder that we are taking her to a portrait studio!  I kid, I kid.  😉  Maybe she will be back to her model loving self by then.  I can only hope!
