Baby Boy in Blue

Always such a wonder to get acquainted with a new baby.
Meeting this little one and taking photographs for his sweet family was a joy.
He slept through the entire session and let us “ohh and ahh” to our heart’s content.

Daddy serves in the Air Force & Mama made this beautiful blanket.

I couldn’t help but treasure even the sweet little cry of this perfect babe.

You can see why it was a pure joy to photograph them. ♥

Hi there, I was doing some wedding photography research and came across your website. Lovely images!!! And a very nice website too

April

Spring has drowsily awakened.
Pallid and shy, flashing only glimpses of its potential.

We wait.

In between poetic musings & pulling weeds,
we’ve had our share of little incidents.
Lately it seems to be second nature to pack an overnight bag and stay with a sister.
Whether it’s because of a raccoon{s?} in our attic or a mischievous two year old putting a magic eraser in our {one} toilet.
Thankfully we have a very kind family that holds us up, supports us,
and patiently help us get back on our feet… and back in our home.

I’m trying to skip to the part where it’s all kind of a funny story. ♥

Pictures are from a few weeks ago.
Damian wouldn’t keep his shoes on while he ran around the yard.
Finally I gave up chiding him and photographed him as he is.

{funny socks, considering our week}

Waking up with the “Shine”

This spring break Damian has been complaining that the “Shine” is waking him up, {usually we’re up before sunrise so this is new to him}. It’s become a funny little tradition to see his grumpy face tell me it’s too bright & cover his little eyes in defiance at the light.

This morning, after his usual complaints, he continued on about something else.
After listening for a moment, we could distinguish that he was confused by the morning sky.
He wondered why it wasn’t pink and blue like last night’s colorful sunset.
The evening before, in a mad frenzy of excitement, I snatched him up and opened the window.
Holding him up between curtains unveiled a spectacularly painted exhibition over our ancient trees.
Admittedly, as the spell of twilight wore off, I felt a little silly to be standing on my tippi toes
and holding my toddler in an accidental Lion King fashion.
I often wonder what they make of their eccentric mother.

I try to inspire them and keep a positive outlook.
Yet there are times when I know if I hear one more little person yell, “MOM!!!” I will run away & hide.
They know my weaknesses.

Realizing that he wakes up remembering our moments gives me hope that they will both take something good from me.

Truly, my brightest sunshine. ♥

Somewhere Over the {Rumor} Rainbow

My iPhone 4 has become my favorite {portable} digital camera. I empty it about once every two weeks and have countless little treasures tucked away from our little moments. It has replaced the other cameras I used to have ready, and now I will only take a few frames with my larger cameras here & there. I’ve become accustomed to lightly traveling with my phone and I love it!

Even though I change my mind often, I have adored this Jenny Vorwaller painted case for over a year.
Apparently it might not be my case for much longer. After dropping it for the 30th+ time, my screen finally cracked.

I know being beautiful & sleek is a high risk when it comes to how we cover our phones.
Thinking it’s a good time to switch to a gorgeous {coming soon} Rifle Paper Co. case, rumored to protect our phones a little better.
Also trying to see how long I can hold out for a possible new iPhone 5S release? Maybe? Hopefully it will be soon?

Dreaming of {speculated} thirteen megapixels on a phone makes this photographer mama smile.
All the while, knowing full well, that anything over the five I do have will be cherished.

It’s so very pretty. Might need to DIY something with it so I can still see it everyday.

We visited my parents & siblings for Easter and I intentionally did not bring anything to shoot but my phone.
It’s fun to grab someone else’s camera and do let them do the sharing.
It allows me to join in the fun and be present, something I’m working on.
Everything was wonderful and it was a much needed break for me.

Now that we are home, we are trying to get our stride back from unpacking & unplanned doctor visits.
Kevin caught strep throat this week {his spring break} and it looks like he might have to have his tonsils removed.
Had a good laugh in the office today when he confused ”ENT” with “TNT” and
worried that the nice doctor was sending him to get blown up.
Too much Minecraft?
He’ll be back to t-ball tomorrow and I’ll be there with my glove just as excited as he is to get back on the field.
Especially a warmer field than we’ve had lately.

Happy Weekend! ♥
