Wyatt Matthew 8.30.08

Check out this laugh. He just cracks up all of the time lately. Such a happy boy. I love it.

Another goofy little smile...

Now does this face mean we're done??

Well, as I posted already, Wyatt is getting so big! I just can't believe all of the changes he's made. He's been rolling over for about a month now and he's really good at it. He's also been teething, which is just no fun at all. (as you can see the teething is causing lots of cool drooling. lol) Also, this week he started getting up on his hands and knees so it looks like he will be crawling in no time. He's actually already trying to get the hang of moving his knees and hands in coordination. Anyway, here are a couple of cute shots from yesterday. Obviously, no time for a wardrobe change. I was just lucky to get him into the studio at all. I hope to get some more creative shots in the very near future.

Landon

This little guy came in to the studio today with the sweetest little face. Here's a cute shot of him with his daddy. Can you believe that he slept almost the whole time!?! This session just reminded me how big Wyatt is getting. Almost four months already, can you believe it? So I made Matt bring him down to the studio for a few pictures. Can you believe this is actually he first time he's been in the studio since he was 6 weeks? I told everyone that this was my greatest fear and it's definitely coming true. While I am super busy with all of your children, my little one is getting nothing but snapshots (with my phone, no less..ewww) I am such a bad momma. lol. So, here's one from today-inspired by sweet little Landon...
more to come, I promise.

New try at video slideshows

Okay, here is my try at slideshows using a new program that I actually purchased awhile ago, but I FINALLY (with a little help from fellow NoBSer and Utah Photographer Tina Miera) was able to post it here. This is the rest of the images from the Swanson session with little Ian that you see below. Let me know what you think...

Why I love my job...

Okay, so I had this family come to the studio the other day from Rochester, MI and it was one of my most favorite sessions EVER! (is that even proper grammar? oh well, who cares?) One reason is because their son is only a couple of days younger than my little Wyatt and just as cute, but also, because his parents were so cool. Ultimately though, it's because of the BEAUTIFUL images I will be able to present to them during their ordering session. I want to show you all of them, but for now, this is my favorite so far. I know you will enjoy it as much as I do. There's just something about the sweet innocence of a newborn against the contrast of the awesome tattoos on dad. (just wait til you see them in color!).

Free Designer Photo Cosmetic Bag!

Okay, I am so excited! I just received a shipping confirmation for my GA Designer handbag. It should be here on Friday and I CANNOT wait to show it off! For those of you who have seen the cosmetic bag that I have, you'll be excited about the July handbag special:
Now through July 25th receive a free matching cosmetic bag with your purchase of a qualifying handbag, including the Fairfax Handbag (shown). This is a great summer special if you've been waiting to order a bag for yourself or as a gift for someone. Think about it...one for you, and one for a friend. lol. Great justification for gifting yourself!

Six Weeks and counting

Wow! who knew that babies could grow sooo quickly? Wyatt is doing quite well and he is growing like a weed. He's six weeks old today and we took a few pictures just for kicks. I love this outfit and can't wait until it actually fits him. (he's swimming in it for now) Anyway, I thought these would be cute for a newspaper announcement (no, we still haven't done one yet-don't get me started...I am still working on creating a formal birth announcement to send out. Then again, maybe I should just start working on 1st bday invites. lol.) but grandma still likes the original announcement photo, so we'll see...

Get Back to work Lady!!

okay, okay. Having a new baby is hard work but due to popular demand I had to get back to work, so with some help from family members, (especially my sister) I was able to return to a very busy week. Clients came in from Ortonville, Oxford, Ferndale, Clarkston and Lake Orion. Here is a review from some of those sessions...
