Another Baby.....

...only this time I wasn't the photographer. However... I did have a little something to do with the picture. And hopefully this picture will help to explain my lack of blogging lately.....

Yup, That baby is mine! On friday I went into the OB/GYN and this sonogram showed that I was 8 weeks along - official due date - December 21, 2007. Merry Christmas, eh?
So yeah, I haven't been feeling my greatest. Mostly gaggy and tired.... okay, EXHAUSTED. And the wierdest thing..... Blogging makes me ill. Yup.. infact, just about anything that has to do with photography makes me wanna puke. I don't know what the deal is, but I hope I get over it soon. I have a senior shoot on Thursday and i'm dreading it. :P
With my last pregnancy it was any music by Jack Johnson.... yuckyuckyuck... and I loved his music. But it was MONTHS before I could listen to it without my stomach turning. And NOW... photography. I don't know what I'm gonna do but if anyone has any suggestions, I'll take em.
So... Thats our big news. We're so excited for #4 to join our family. Cliff's positive that I only wanted to do this so i could get myself a newborn model to work with. haha.. Well...lucky me anyway! :)

Another Baby "T"

...only this time it was a sweet baby boy. And when I say sweet.... I mean sooooooooo SWEET! I have a TON more to proof of this little guy, but this one stood out to me right away. This was actually an "Accidental" shot that I took inbetween poses. Mom was shifting the baby from one pose to the next and I snapped this one. I wish i had set it up a little more so that I could of gotten his cute feet and right hand in focus..... but..... the more i look at it, the more it becomes one of my favorites! I'll have more to share later, but for now... meet sweet baby "T"...

Baby "T"

...which could represent any of this baby girl's cousins since they ALL start with the letter T. But she is the newest addition to their family and she is such a sweetheart. I had visions and dreams of those beautifully posed sleeping newborn shots but she had other plans. I guess it just doesn't work that way when the newborn is 6 weeks old. :) I think i caught her sleeping in 2 or 3 of the shots, but she wasn't too fond of my shutter noise. And I was lucky to capture a few without her hand infront of her face. Can you believe those big beautiful eyes of hers?!? Just gorgeous!



she loved her daddy....



and Wish me luck... I have another newborn in the morning and a family session tomorrow night. What have I gotten myself into????
:)

Just playling...

...cuz I had to find out just what this lens could do. And all 3 of the kids were home, so they all had to play. Poor kids....
This one will probably get blown up and hung in the girls room




and i told you all 3 had to play...Well this is the look I get from Jack any time that he sees the camera..

oh yeah... and part of the bribing... was tatoos :)



My cool little dude..

10 YEARS!!!!!

10 Wonderful Years... with the best husband ever! So for our anniversary he brought me home some flowers..

...and instead of diamonds... he got me a piece of glass...

Lets just say, that i wasn't dissappointed! :) :) :) ( that's the 70-200L incase you couldn't tell ;) )
And I had to try it out real quick even though Bella was scruffy without her hair done.. And Hey - after seeing me taking pictures of flowers, she must've been a little jealous cuz she actually asked me to take these... ?!?!


So... Happy Anniversary to me! :)

Simply Bella.....

For the last 2 weeks it seems that i've done nothing but preschool and soccer team shoots. Being so busy with all that has really drained me from wanting to take out my camera and just play with it. Even though I had 2 more soccer teams to get through this week, I decided that I'd pull my toy out and try to have some fun. go figure that Bella was my poor model again....



...she had to throw in a bit of a fake smile for ya!

and a NO smile

and just in case the upside down was too much for ya... we'll flip it around...

And on this one... I totally missed the focus, but THIS is BELLA...so I had to share..

It feels like WINTER!

...and in hopes of the cold weather leaving soon, I pulled out the winter hats for what is hopefully the last time for a while. I wished that i hadn't been lazy with these and pulled my reflector out, but.... oh well..




and how about this one in black and white?

and this one in color?...no?
