I know you all may find this hard to believe; but Kennedy does not like my camera! (this drives me nuts of course!) I have not done a ‘real’ photo shoot with her in months, and decided that I would do a quick one for Valentines day… lets just say it was not a success!  I had big plans for a gorgeous chair and cut out hearts outside, but instead wound up with these:

Oh well… maybe she will grow out of it!

Happy Monday!

Here is a little sneak peek of a valentine shoot that I did for Baby Sol…. I’ll share more with you all later! 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

It’s all about Kennedy today… (as most Miscellaneous Monday’s are!)

These are just a few shots I got of her last week that I love…. first, here she is reading one of her books…

then she takes a phone call…

Then she blows me kisses after getting in her ‘car’…

As always, Happy Monday!

My youngest sister, Tressa Ann, asked me to take her pictures in a junk yard recently and I was thrilled with the idea! I used to take her picture all the time,  in fact I took a picture of her when she was about 2 years old (I guess I was 9 at the time… yikes!) and my Dad still carries it in his truck tucked in his sun visor to this day! She was always told she had a ‘million dollar smile’ and as I went through the pictures we took at the junk yard I remembered that same smile in that picture I had taken so long ago, so I borrowed it from my Dad and scanned it so I could include it in this post. 

(note: if you see any items in these pictures you might like, you can contact Mike at The Red Cross Store in Oakboro… phone number: 704.425.8597)

Enjoy!

And now here she is today… all grown up!

I could not decide which of these next 3 I liked best… smile or no smile? color or sephia? So I just posted some of each!

I couldn’t decide on these next two either… so I posted both!

TC-

Thank you for being one of my biggest cheerleaders… love you!

Okay, the weather here in NC is a bit …. ‘back and forth’ might be the right way to say it? This is why I say this… Only about 2 weeks ago we had 60 degree weather and gorgeous sunshine, which is when I snapped these two pictures:

Then this weekend, what do we get? Snow and 20 degree weather! Here are a couple of pictures I snapped of Kennedy playing in the snow:

I have to admit I am not a huge fan of snow… unless it is on the ski slopes! But, I was happy to get that cute picture of Kennedy and the snowman!

Happy Monday to you all, whether you have snow or sunshine, I hope it is fabulous!

I recently did Brooklyn’s 6 month pictures and this little girl has the best personality! She just laughs and smiles at everything! We basically just plopped her down and let her do her thing while I captured her different expressions. Here are some of my favorites…..

This next one cracks me up! I love her expression!!

Thank again Courtney for asking me to do these for you…

Cabin fever. That is what I have. Because I have been stuck in the house pretty much all weekend due to Kennedy being  sick    But, hopefully she will be well soon, I think she is getting better already! There is just something about having a sick baby, I never really understood why my Dad would always come home and kiss us and tell us “you know I would take it from you if I could….” when we were sick. Well, now I understand! I would take it from her if I could!  (for those of you who are curious, she has RSV, which has consisted of a runny nose, coughing and fever)

Onto other things, I am actually going to post a few pictures of myself! I don’t often get in front of the camera, so when I do I like to post the pictures just so you all remember what I look like and I am not just a faceless blogger! I definitely am not as comfy in front of the camera as I am behind it (truth be told I feel like a dork in front of the camera!)… but I like to try and jump in front every once in a while just so I’ll have a few pictures. My hubby Stuart snapped these first two one day when we were heading out….

This next one I snapped while outside one day… it was not planned, I just looked at my shadow and snapped the picture, but I like the way it turned out! Kind of artsy….

For those of you who do not know me, and since I don’t often talk about myself on the blog, I’ll give you a few little facts about myself real quick… As you can see I am expecting, this is baby #2 for us. We have a little girl named Kennedy right now. We do not know if this is a boy or a girl and I am due on March 17th! Okay, there you go… Now onto more pictures, these are of Kennedy eating breakfast one morning, I just thought they were cute and since this is Miscellaneous Monday I decided to post them!

Happy Monday to you all!  Have a fantastic week!

Meet baby Tylan… he is absolutely adorable in every way!

He was making sure we didn’t take that paci in this next one!

If you keep up with my blog at all you will recognize this little cutie… Sailor. She is adorable and I always love shooting her. Her Mom always dresses her up in the cutest stuff and is always open for any and everything I suggest, gotta love that! Sailor turned one year old back in December so we got together for a photo shoot of eating birthday cake on the floor while dressed up in a tutu! (like I said, her Mom is cool!) Here are some of my favorites…

I have no idea why she laid down and cried here in this next one, but I LOVE it! I love capturing the ‘real’ moments. And it reminds me of the song “It’s my birthday and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want too…. ”

We went outside for some in her Christmas outfit… but it was damp and cold so that did not last long! We did get a couple though…

Remember my Flip video camera I mentioned last week? Well, here is a little clip from it…. This is my daughter Kennedy and her buddy Holdyn playing, and Kennedy has got the giggles! It is too cute and is sure to make you smile!  Happy Monday to all!
