A New Living room!!!

I just wanted to post the rearrangement my husband and I did (with the help of my parents) this past weekend! 

We needed our living room arranged differently with our baby on the way.  We needed it more opened and baby equipment friendly.  This is the last our house will be baby item free.  The swing is already out and everything else is put away just waiting for the arrival of our little one.  And I was so happy that I accidentally got a picture with ALL my animal children!! I didn't even bother trying to get them out of the room because they like to be where all the excitement is.  

I'm excited to have a new work station too! While I'm on my maternity leave, I'll be doing as many personal projects as possible to keep you guys interested!! Please stay tuned and when I have my own little one to have as a guinea pig, I will definitely be posting a LOT of photos of her!!

Enjoy!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the FredWes Mom's

My pastor asked me to bring my camera to church on Mother's Day to take pictures of all the mom's with their kids and grandkids.  I happily obliged!

These moms are some of the most amazing people I've met and I love them all dearly.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy 1st Birthday Clive!!!

I am about to post 19 gazillion photos from my nephew's 1st birthday party!! It was so much fun, but I am such a bias Aunt, there's going to be WAY more than I would normally post. 

I can't believe that a year ago, this little boy was born.  He's a miracle baby, that's for sure. My sister did a dinosaur theme since when you say "RAWR" to him, he laughs really hard.  Sometimes, it's the only thing that will make him happy!

 He's so proud that he can do this now (walk behind his dinosaur).  Only a couple weeks ago, he couldn't

Exciting Family News Revealed!

I went to go visit my brother and his wife Amy back in March to do what I could to help them move into their new home in North Carolina and they had WONDERFUL news!! They are expecting baby #2 this October!! As I believe that all children are precious gifts from God and each are a miracle, this is amazing news! I'm excited to become an Aunt for a third time right after I become a mom for the first time! Below are their pregnancy announcements and their fun gender reveal!! Congrats Steve, Amy and Oliver!

The Clarks

Another year, another photo shoot for The Clark Family!

This is my second time photographing this beautiful family.  I've known them for about 2 years now and I have seen this family do so much for those around them.  I'm proud to be called their friend.  I look up to them and hope that one day my husband and I can do for others as they do. I have the honor and pleasure of teaching Kaityn the guitar once a week and it has been so much fun to be at their house every week and getting to know them even more!

This was my first photo shoot only using my 50mm lens. It was different for me since I have basically only used my 18-105mm for photo shoots. So it was a learning experience for me to center my beautiful subjects with this lens instead of my wider lens.  I'll definitely be using it again for my next shoot,

Mom! Please let me go swing!
