One Year!/Asheville Child and Family Photographer

Yesterday I did a one year session for a family that I did maternity pictures for. It’s so cool to me to meet a family while they are expecting their baby and then see them a year later with this really beautiful baby girl who is walking and has so much personality.  She was so full of smiles and was ready to be on the move.  Poor girl had a cold and at the end was ready to be done and all snuggled up in her car seat with her lovie.  Congratulations you guys on your amazing family!  I’m sure I’ll have more to share as I start editing so check back for more!

Witchy Woman/Asheville Child and Baby Photographer

This evening I got the kids together for a Halloween picture.  I had the idea to make Piper a witch after finding this adorable witch hat.  Mya decided she wanted to be Piper the witch’s cat and of course River wanted to be whatever Mya was.  😉  But finding a boy cat costume was impossible!  So I tried to make one for him and well, I’m not exactly crafty in that way!  I’m not too fond of how it turned out but he loved it and was so excited to wear it.  He didn’t want to paint his face today but maybe for Halloween.  Check out Piper’s tutu.  One of my previous students from TX made that for her!  So adorable!  We are so excited for Halloween to get here!!

Small Town Session/Asheville Family Photographer

This evening I did a session that I’ve really been looking forward to.  Some clients that I had done photos for in NY came to Asheville for a session!  I felt very honored that they chose me to do a session for them again and it was so wonderful to see them!  I hadn’t seen them since right before we moved away from NYC and it was so surreal to be hanging out with them here.  I first did pictures of their son when he was only 3 months old and now he’s almost 3 1/2!  It was so cool seeing him as a little boy.  He was such a sweet kid and I had so much fun goofing around with him.  Sometimes I think I click more with kids than I do adults.  lol  Thank you guys times a million for coming to Asheville! I hope you have a great trip back home and please stay in touch!

Here are their pictures from NY!  http://brandylewisphotography.com/2010/11/14/my-how-youve-grown-little-man/ and http://brandylewisphotography.com/2010/07/31/sweet-babymanhattan-baby-photographer/

5 Months Old/Asheville Baby Photographer

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you the happiest, sweetest baby in the world:  Piper!  🙂  Piper turned 5 months old last week so I thought I would get a few cute pictures of her playing with her feet like she always does.  She didn’t feel like it on this day, but we still got some cute pictures.  I love this girl so very much and the thought of her growing up kills me.  I’m happy that she is so small. It makes it feel like she’s not growing up quite so fast!  By the way, if you’re tired of seeing my children, have no fear, this is my last week of maternity leave.  Starting next week, it’s back to work I go!  I’ve got my first session with some of my favorite clients from NYC!  They are going to be in TN and are traveling over to Asheville for a session. I’m very excited to see them!  It has been a long time!

My hubby got a picture of me and Piper together. The last one we took was right after she was born, so it was time.  If my kids don’t remember anything from their childhood, the one thing that I do want them to remember is how much I loved them everyday!

Kindergarten!/Asheville Child Photographer

Mya started kindergarten recently!  I will be the first to admit that it broke my heart.  I finally had to stop being the one to take her because I teared up every time!  I’m kind of glad that the school won’t let us walk in anymore because now I don’t have to walk down those long halls and pretend like I don’t see the people I’m passing so that they can’t see the tears in my eyes. 😉  As a teacher, I never used to understand parents like me!  Now I totally get it!  I just can’t stop thinking about how she and I were buddies for 3 years before River was born. We learned how to meet friends together for playdates. We navigated our way around Manhattan together.  I learned how to be a parent with her.  We did everything together and we used to always tell each other that we were best friends!  So now I don’t have my buddy with me each day and it’s hard, for me and River. Poor thing, he just doesn’t know how to play without her. I feel so bad for him. But he is loving all of the attention that he gets from me.  We spend our mornings at home while Piper takes her morning nap learning letters, numbers, reading, doing puzzles and crafts.  He loves it and so do I.  But come 2:30, I’m very excited to see my other buddy!  I know this is going to be a great year for Mya.  We absolutely are thrilled with her teacher!  So my big girl, I miss you more than ever but am so happy to see you turn into your own little person!
