Happy 4th From the Lewis’!/Asheville Family Photographer

What a great 4th of July we had!  4th of July in N.C. is so much different than it was in New York!  In New York, it required a lot of preplanning, walking, tantrums (if you have a toddler-lol), but also the best fireworks anyone could ever imagine!  Here in Asheville, the fireworks require you to drive your car to the spot where you want to sit.  You get out with your chairs and blankets, ball, bubbles,….and you hang out in a big grassy area until the fireworks start.  The fireworks are a lot less dramatic, but the experience is so much less stressful!  So I have to say, I enjoyed being in Asheville this year for another holiday!  Hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing day with some fabulous friends and fireworks!

Thought I would include a family photo so that future clients will know who to look for.  😉  The dark hair is gone and so is the baby bump!

Innocence/Asheville Child Photographer

Remember when you were a child and you thought that if you swung high enough, you could fly up to the tops of the trees?  Mya wanted me to push her that high today and she had the biggest, happiest smile I’ve ever seen on her face.  She’s the cutest little thing!  (Please ignore her “I just woke up from my nap” hairdo!)

And where was little River? Right beside his sister, cheering her on all the way.  Okay, or sleeping.  😉

I just love his little hands.  Not sure if you can tell, but I love my babies.  😉

Too Easy/Asheville Child Photographer

Here is my contest winner!  Congratulations to Molly for winning the contest that I posted a while back for a free session!  I was so, so excited to do pictures for her.  She is one of the moms from my playgroup and I LOVE her and her children!  She is so much fun and her kids are just precious.  They seriously are some of the most beautiful kids I’ve ever seen.  I’m just a tad bit jealous of her daughter’s hair.  Maybe Mya will have hair like that someday.  😉  This morning was just way too easy.  Her daughter would just pose and smile for me.  AWESOME!  This little girl has been the one to get Mya to be totally potty trained as well as want to start writing her name.  Maybe she can get her to smile for the camera next!  I had a great time with you guys this morning!  Happy 3rd birthday sweet little girl!  We can’t wait to celebrate at your party tomorrow!

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.  🙂
