Meet Levi and Naomi … a new baby sister, only a couple of weeks old at the time these pictures were taken, and a proud big brother:

Ah… sweet! And it only lasted about a minute, then two-year-old Levi had bigger better things to do. Like climb all over his tractors (one of his favorite things in the world right now!) And he was not too sure about my camera…

But we managed to get some adorable shots anyway!

Love this one of him rubbing his eye, it feels like I captured some of that sweet-little-boy-innocence that seems to pass by all too quickly in our babies!

Speaking of sweet and innocent… isn’t she precious?!

 Cassie, thanks so much for asking me to capture these for you!

I am ready for spring. Yep, I know we are right smack in the middle of winter, but this is when I crave spring the most it seems. I am ready for little bare feet running outside in warm sunshine, shorts and no jackets… Ahhhhh, soon!

Going through my folders I found these pictures that I took earlier this month on a day that was warm enough to go without jackets… Kennedy and Tori driving around in Tori’s jeep:

In other random news this weekend, I tried to be crafty by doing this little project.  Lets just say I am not that great at being patient and crafty. This project is time-consuming! (Notice I said “is” not “was”? Uh, yeah… I didn’t exactly finish yet!)

Happy Monday

I hope your weekend is full of it

And yes, I am posting another ‘quickie’ instead of a shoot, but I will post more shoots next week! Till then, have yourself a great one!

I was lucky enough to have two shoots back to back with families that both had adorable/handsome boys. I say adorable for the younger boy in this shoot, and handsome for his older brother. Because I am pretty sure he does not want to be called adorable!

Meet Jacque, Andy, Drew and Luke:

See what I mean? This kid is handsome!

And this one… he is adorable!

Love this one:

Andy, Jacque, Drew and Luke- Thanks for asking me to take your family pictures… I had so much fun! And I am glad we were able to include your 4-legged family member and manage to schedule so that the boys could still make it to the football game, score! 

Wow. Where do I start? (talking about the Giveaway here)… I started out thinking wouldn’t it be awesome to get 50 comments?  While that would be awesome, I just hoped I got at least 10 or 20!  But One Hundred and one?! Seriously ya’ll, THANK YOU!

I saw the comments coming in via email, but I didn’t actually go to the blog and keep up with the total number, till last night. And seeing the number, well, I was blown away. And excited. And humbled. Let me say it again, Thank you all!

I know it is going to sound cliché, but I am going to say it anyway, I wish I could give each and every person that commented on my Giveaway post a free photoshoot. And if I had to choose a winner myself, it would have been tough. Very tough. That is where random.org helped me out. I simply put in the number of comments and let it pick the winner.

Thank you for not only participating, but for also sharing your stories as some of you did. I loved reading each and every comment.    And can I just say that you guys sure know how to make a girl with her camera feel good?! Thanks for that too

So, on to the winner now…. (drum-roll please!)

Lisa said: I would love to win a free photoshoot to get some family portraits made! Pick me!

Congrats! You will be getting an email from me shortly!

And that is it for today’s post… I am not posting pictures or anything else because I am trying to get this up as quickly as I can.

Happy Monday

This family loves the great outdoors and just being active. When Jennifer emailed me about doing a shoot she said “we have two crazy little blond-haired boys” and I replied with a Bring it on! Tyler and Carter are adorable and full of energy, and I loved it!

Meet Darrick, Jennifer, Tyler and Carter:

I loved both of the next two so decided to post them both

In the middle of snapping this picture of Carter, Tyler suddenly pops up from behind and gets in his face… they had me laughing the whole time!

Tyler and Carter displaying some of their craziness!

But we did manage to get a serious (adorable) picture too:

This picture was not planned…  I had somehow gotten behind while walking through the woods and I snapped this as I caught up with them. It turned out to be a favorite of mine, I love how Carter is looking up at his Mom…

And lastly, more captures of the boys just being boys! I love it!

 Thank you guys for asking me to shoot these for you… I had a great time!

Meet Chris and Jennifer and their adorable son Logan…

We got together in the fall for a family shoot and these are a few of my favorites

Love this one!

I personally think Jennifer looks gorgeous in this shot:

Isn’t he precious?!

This is a favorite for sure:

I’ll end with this little series because I think it is just so cute!

Chris and Jennifer- thank you guys for asking me to capture these for you! I had a great time

***And before I go…. if you haven’t already done so, check out the Giveaway below!!***

That’s right, I am doing a Giveaway, and I am pretty excited about it!

So, here we go.

What am I giving away? A Photoshoot with me! (includes session fee and disc of images)

I have been wanting to do this for awhile, as in, for a long time! I think about it, I plan to do it, and now I am doing it. And I am excited!

Here is the deal, leave a comment on this post and you are in the drawing. It is just that easy!

This shoot is for, pretty much, anyone. It can be a family shoot, a couples shoot, a friends shoot, a kids shoot, a newborn shoot, an engagement shoot, a Day After shoot, a bridal shoot, etc.  BUT, not a wedding. Sorry folks

As for the number of people this shoot includes, that depends. I’ll try to make it as clear as possible, but if you have any questions or if this just doesn’t make sense, shoot me an email.

• For a family shoot I will do however many people you have in your immediate family. Basically this covers a Mom, Dad, and kids.
• If you want to do just the kids, that will be the same as above. If they are all in the same immediate family there is not a limit.
• For a friends shoot this will be for up to 4 people. This can be anyone, as long as you are friends and want some great pictures!
• As for any other shoot I think it would be just one or two. That would cover any kind of couples shoot, or just a fun single person shoot. (everyone needs pictures, so if you just need some of yourself, by yourself, go for it!)

Now for the fine print:

• Like I said, anyone can enter, but the shoot must be local to Monroe, NC.
• No weddings.
• Shoot must be done before April 1, 2011. Offer expires after April 1, 2011.
• Comment here to enter. One comment per person, multiple comments will only be counted once.
• Contest ends Sunday, January 16th, 2011 at Midnight.
• The winner will be announced here on the blog.

Okay, now I want to ask you to help out. Please spread the word about this! Facebook, Twitter, blog, email and just talk about it. Tell anyone and everyone you know I do not have a Facebook “like” page for Bobbie Brown Photography (maybe I’ll get on that next….who knows!) so I cannot ask you to “like” the page or tag me there for extra entries in the drawing…but I’d be thrilled if you’d spread the word just the same!

And now I am going to start blogging all the shoots I did before Christmas (and a few since Christmas) so come back for some pretty pictures of someone other than my girls…starting tomorrow! (I just looked back and while I realized I had not blogged a shoot lately, I don’t think I realized how long it has been! Wow! Alright, starting tomorrow, Let the blogging shoots begin!)

Now… let the comments begin!

Edited to Add:  I will choose the winner by using Random.org  Thanks for the comments and keep them coming! This is exciting!

Kennedy has a camera of her own, but I think she has a little bit to learn when it comes to taking pictures… such as, which way to turn the camera!

As I have mentioned before, I keep a personal blog for both my girls. Last week in a blog post for them I listed a few things that I am currently loving, here is what I said:

For Kennedy:
