Happy 2nd Birthday River!/Asheville Child Photographer

I can’t believe that my baby bear is turning 2 this week.  I feel like I just did his one year pictures.  Time went by way too quickly.  I love this little man more than I ever could have imagined.  I still can’t believe that I was so scared and worried about having a boy.  I love having a boy.  I love how he loves trains and dump trucks, and bull dozers.  I love watching him climb and jump and rough house.  And as much of a boy as he is, he is still the sweetest, most cuddly child on the planet.  I’ve never met a sweeter child, ever.  I love you so very much my little boy.  I sure hope that the next year goes a little more slowly.  🙁

I almost had to postpone these pictures.  Being the mom of the year that I am, I forgot to put sunscreen on him yesterday while we were out in the sun for the whole morning.  I guess spring is here and I need to start remembering.  On top of that, the balloons that I wanted to get from the party store couldn’t be gotten today.  The party store isn’t open on Sundays.  Boo!  But the weather was so perfect today, finally warm, so we had to take advantage of it!  I decided to do his pictures on the same bridge where I did his one year pictures.  I may do this every year, just for fun.  🙂

The Perfect Day/Asheville Child Photographer

This past weekend I turned another year older.  Sigh.  This is the first year that I’ve actually felt kinda old.  Being this close to 40 scares me!  😉  But it was the most perfect day.  It was sunny for once and nearly 60 degrees out.  I wanted to spend the whole day outside.  We ended up getting annual passes to the Biltmore House and going and spending the day in their gardens.  Wow!  What a place.  I hadn’t been there in a really long time so I forgot how beautiful it is.  I just kept thinking to myself, “Oh my gosh, I HAVE to do a session here!”  It’s the perfect place for photos.  So I’ve decided that I will be back there to do Mya’s 5 year pictures, no doubt about it!  The kids got these lollipops at the candy shop there and they looked so cute that I had to get a picture.  So cheers to what will hopefully be a really great year!

Valentines Babies/Asheville Baby and Child Photographer

I did Valentines photos for some of the girls in my playgroup, http://www.meetup.com/Asheville-Stay-At-Home-Moms-Playgroup/.  I love these moms.  Not sure what I would do without them!  I still don’t know how stay at home moms did it back in the day before the internet.  Talk about some lonely ladies, I’m sure!  But the moms in my group have the cutest children and I love doing mini-sessions for them.  I was very excited to do Valentines pictures too because I’m kind of a girly girl and love all things pink, especially on little girls.  🙂  I had a different set-up in mind and it didn’t work out like I was hoping.  Hate when that happens, but this set-up was cute too.  We had a great time yesterday.  Thank you ladies for coming over and playing dress up!  😉 Thank you also to my amazingly talented and creative friend, Charity, for making the kissing booth.  She made it for her daughter but was kind enough to let me use it with Mya and River too.

Slow Season

Ahhh, that lull after the holidays are over….gets me every year.  It’s that time of year when everyone has already taken their family photos in order to get their holiday cards out on time and the weather is cold.  Nobody is thinking about doing a photo session, unless of course it’s a baby session in the studio.  🙂  This time of year I start going stir crazy, ready to do some sessions again.  And that’s where my kids come in the picture.  I haven’t taken my camera out much lately at home, ever since I discovered Instagram.  So this morning, I got it out and said, “Who wants their picture taken?”  Both kids started jumping up and down saying, “Me, me, me!!”  Wow.  What did I ever do to deserve kids that love to have their picture taken?  😉  By the way, I am booking sessions for 2013, up until mid April and spots are starting to really fill in because spring is when the lull is over and everyone is ready to get outside and have family photos done again.  I look forward to those days!  🙂

This picture reminds me so much of this, when my girl was so tiny!
