As I was wrapping up my work for tonight I just checked my site and saw that my new website has been launched! I'm really excited to have this new, fresh start for Babysnap Photography, I needed the makeover! There's still a little tweaking to do, but check it out! www.babysnapportraits.com
This gorgeous mama-to-be was so fun and adventurous! I love working with loving couples like this one! Hope you guys had fun today N & J, here's a sneak peek to hold you over!
I got to do a mini-session with this little guy today- he's approaching his first birthday! He was very busy and not sure why I was following him, but still gave me some sweet little looks! Thanks for playing with me R!
This baby boy is due in September, the first of my maternity clients this year having a fall baby! The big-brother-to-be was a tad camera shy today, but was bribe-able! :o) It was great to finally meet you "M", you look great! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and I'll see you in Sept!
I'll be out of town with my oldest daughter, at college orientation (yikes!) until Thursday afternoon (just in case anyone wonders why I'm not responding to calls/emails). No computer for 48 hours, ack! All proofs/orders will still be on time! :o)
I have her 9 month pictures that I need to go through but for some reason I love these. I snuck in when it was time for her to wake up and I love her sleepy face and tossled hair!
She loves to have her blankie wrapped around her hand and thumb in her mouth so I had to get a shot of that!
I've been waiting to meet this sweet little girl since her mama's maternity session. She's only 7 days old and already not wanting to miss a thing so she was awake and alert most of the session! Thanks M and E! Hope you napped when she did today!
I was lucky enough to spend my Sunday morning with this beautiful family. Little Mr. R was adorable and such a sweet guy. Being 3 years old, and like all 3 year olds, he had his mind on something and we weren't going to distract him. He wanted ALL of his pictures taken with his blue tie and cowboy hat. He seriously wanted them so genuinely bad that it was hard to not give in! We managed to distract him here and there, but he never forgot, and it still makes me chuckle right now. Thanks for being SO patient N and R, you're amazing parents! Here's a few to hold you over!
So Friday night, as I organized my maternity clothes to sell at our semi-annual community yard sale, I felt mixed emotions. Excited in a way, because we are on the road to a different phase. Goodbye to the sleepless nights, hello to family game nights, big-kid activities, to me getting more "me time", to read a book, expand my business, find myself.
However, I'm also sad, because all I ever wanted was to be a mom, and although I'll always be a mom now, it's the end of my "child-bearing" years and that's bittersweet. I love being pregnant, love meeting that new person for the first time, wondering what she will look like, how he will fit in to our family, smelling that perfect smell... what an amazing journey it has been!
I hope my maternity clothes (I LOVED my summer stuff lol!) are worn with the same excitement, joy, and anticipation that I wore them with!
Every quarter another local photographer, Willow (who is an AMAZING high school senior photographer btw! Check her out!) hosts a get-together for area photographers. She finds somewhere for us to shoot and then provides an incredible dinner! This time it was a hawaiian plate lunch, soooooo goood! Oh yeah, and the session locations were amazing too! ;-) Here's a few of our models who baked in the heat for our benefit!
And my own Ally, photographer in the making?!
I spent my morning with the "K" family, newly a family of 3! There's just something magical about witnessing the amazing love that new parents have for their baby; I love being a part of that! This little guy was just (yes I have to use the infamous word for irresitible babes) so smushy! I enjoyed all of the awake moments too! Thanks for having me over S & J!
So I was going to wait to unveil the logo with the new website, but I haven't been able to even touch the new site lately so it may be a while! So without further ado... the new BabySnap logo (& new colors), created by my dear friend (and talented designer of many things) Rebekah! Thanks R!
These 2 little girls were so sweet, with big gorgeous brown eyes! Thanks for hanging out with me today C & B!
This little guy was amazingly laid back for a one month old! He didn't even give me a hard time with much stretching or fussing and was easily wooed into doing what we asked. Congrats L & B, on the birth of your handsome little guy!
(well an adult without a baby!) Last week I went to a conference given by Sandy Puc and got to spend some quality time with some other local (and not so local) photographers. I learned alot, from the seminar and the other photographers, and had a fun time just hanging out too. We were early and had to kill some time so of course we found an old house falling apart to photograph but had no subjects... hence WE became the subjects! Here's one of gorgeous Beth, thanks for letting me post it! ;-)
