This is Me

This afternoon my best friend who is visiting took pictures for our family.  At first I just wanted her to take a few for me for my “About Me” section on my site, and then I thought that maybe I should get some of  me and River and that led to, “We really need a family picture!”  So we decided at the last minute to try and throw together some outfits and get everyone together for some pictures.  It was actually way less stressful than any other family photos we’ve had taken!  Yay!  We started off with the day being just a tad too bright, but what can you do when you’ve got a baby that goes to bed by 6:30?!  😉 And he’s up by 6, so WHAT am I doing up so late?!   Thank you so much Melissa from MAH Photos for doing these for us!  I had such a great time with you!  Okay, maybe not so much fun being in front of the camera, but fun hanging out with you!  lol  (She doesn’t have a site yet, but I’m on her about it, so she will soon!)  Love you lady!

Heavenly Light/Asheville Teen Photographer

My best friend, Melissa, is in town visiting from Florida.  She is also a photographer and so all we have talked about is, “We need to do pictures of this and that, oh and don’t forget this!”  😉  It’s fun having someone around who is also so much into gorgeous light and sees cool props and locations everywhere she looks!  This afternoon we got back from dinner and I was heading in to put River to bed when Melissa said she was going to take some pictures of her daughter really quick.  I looked and all of a sudden became so jealous!  The light was just gorgeous!!  So I ran up and put River to bed, ran back down and said, “Get outside and hurry before the sun is gone!”  Tomorrow it’s my turn to be on the other side of the camera….eek!  But it’s time to update my site with a new picture.  So more to come later this weekend!

 

Just Plain Gorgeous!/Asheville Maternity Photographer

Every time I see a pregnant lady here lately, I get that feeling like, “Hmm…maybe one more baby?”  😉  Tonight I got that feeling seeing just how beautiful a pregnant woman can really be.  Although I felt more like a cow than a beautiful lady while pregnant.  This momma is just plain stunning!  This was one of those sessions where I raced home because I couldn’t wait to get home to work on the photos because I knew they were going to be gorgeousl!  It was easy to pick some to share.  So here are a few of my favorites!  Thank you guys for being so easy to work with!  That baby girl is going to be perfect!

Rain, Rain, Go Away/Asheville Baby and Child Photographer

My session that I was so looking forward to got rained out today and has to be rescheduled.  Boo!  Since it wasn’t raining here, I decided that I just couldn’t let these strawberries and lemons go to waste.  I’m not sure why I love to torture myself with trying to get Mya to cooperate for pictures.  She was kind of okay about it but then had a few tantrums before we even left the house because she had decided that she didn’t want to go anymore.  I finally just said, “Forget this!”  Then there was another tantrum because she had decided that she did want to go.  Geez Louise!  The girl is killing me!  Somehow we made it to the spot that I have been wanting to go to for a while and it ended up being okay.  River was very happy to be there and then so was Mya after she realized she got to eat a jar of strawberries!

Gone Too Far?/Asheville Family Photographer

I just recently ordered a ton of prints for our house because we didn’t have one single picture up of River and we had only about a million up of Mya.  😉  So now the problem is, where do I put all of these pictures??  I can’t just choose one or two because I love them all!  River is only 4 months old.  I still have a lifetime of pictures to put up.  I have pictures in their room, over their beds, on shelves, in the playroom, in the hall, a canvas in the bathroom.  So I guess this is just a problem that a lot of photographers have, too many pictures of their babies!  This is my dilemma of the moment!  (I have a session coming up next weekend that I am so beyond excited about!!  So be sure to check back!)  **By the way, I still have one spot left in the 1/2 off photo session deal!  That would be $60 for your session fee!  See the post below for more info.!**

 

 

 


I had all of these pictures sitting on our kitchen counter for a couple of weeks.  They were driving my very organized, super neat self crazy!  But I just didn’t have time to do anything about it.  But on this day Mya was with her Mimi, and little man just hung out while I hung all of these.  Thank Heavens for an easy baby!
