Back to Work

I went back to teaching this week, and I'm somehow trying to figure out how to fit photography into an already busy day. Please remember to allow me 24 hours to reply to your email, but I'm trying to reply as quickly as possible. Everyone has been really patient and supportive, so thank you soooo much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, and it is actually going very smoothly. I am really thankful for my sweet boys for being so cooperative and for having the most fabulous babysitters! I am a little behind on packaging orders, so if you are waiting for an order and haven't heard from me, please go ahead and check with me. It is highly likely that I have it ready, and if I don't I may just need a little reminder!

I'm in the process of editing some of my most recent sessions, but in the meantime, here are some sweet pictures of Lawson and me that my friend Andrea took:

(My friend Katie from Stitches and Giggles made his adorable outfit. Check out her cute stuff!)

Maybree

My friend Andrea and I took our little ones for a playdate on a nice warm day this week. Here are some of my favorite pics that I took of Maybree and mommy. Andrea also took some of Lawson and me that I love. I'll be posting them soon, hopefully!

Nygren Newborn Session: Part 2

A few days after our baby session, I joined this family at their home to get some family pictures. It was warm and beautiful, so we spent most of our time outside.

Nygren Newborn Session: Part 1

This is my newest "First Moments" baby, and he is so precious! I can't wait to see him grow in the next year. We had to break this session into 2 days, and I've only had a chance to go through our first part, which is only baby. So I figured mom would be happy to see some sneaks.

I feel like I've been doing lots of birthday sessions, so I was so excited to have a newborn again! This is a first of many newborns that are coming up, and I can't wait! I bought lots of new newborn props in January, and I've been dying to finally try them out. Enjoy this bundle of cuteness!

This was my DREAM newborn prop, and I love it!

I was feeling like I had lots of girly stuff, so this is one of my new boy wraps.

The Jackson Brothers

These little guys make me think what my life will be like in a couple of years. They are almost the same age difference as my boys, and they are so, so sweet! I just loved how little brother hung onto big brother and how sweet big brother was to little brother. So cute!

My very favorite shot of the day!

The Murrell's Maternity Session

My very favorite part of photography is going through all of my photos from a session and editing them. Sometimes I sneak it in during nap times, but normally, I wait until the kids and the husband have gone to bed. I've become quite a night owl, really enjoying my quiet editing time when the family is sleeping. I love all of my sessions, but every now and then, I have a session that I am dying to go through. So I rush everyone to bed just so I can start editing. This is one of them :)

This awesome couple drove 3 hours from Arkansas, just for a maternity session with me. Out of the thousands of photographers around, they somehow found me and chose me to photograph them at such an awesome time in their lives. So I really wanted to make sure these photos were worth the drive! I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I enjoyed editing them, and I can't wait to photograph little man when he arrives!

Update: Spring and Summer Sessions

I am so overwhelmed with all of the kind words and support as I've started my photography business. I've had gotten to meet amazing people and have had such awesome clients!

With such great support, my calendar has filled up much quicker than I ever expected. I am currently booked on weekends through mid-July, and I only have a few openings for July left. I still have Tuesday and Thursday openings for both months. So if you are interested in a session, please go ahead and contact me to schedule your session. It is so hard for me to tell someone that I can't schedule a session, so I am doing everything I can to fit everyone in. However, I only have so much time left :) I do have a waiting list for each month in case I have cancellations. So if there is a specific month that you need pictures, let me know and I can add you to my waiting list.

Also, I will be returning to teaching next week, so I will not be as available through email as I have been. I will try to respond as quickly as I can, but please allow 24 hours for me to reply which will most likely be in the evening.

Again, thanks for your understanding and patience as I try to balance photography, teaching, and being a mommy!
