Thanks to those of you who commented on my pencil picture last Misc. Monday… By  posting that picture I was inspired to bring out the pencil’s and shoot again! This time I feel like I got a shot I like better. I really don’t have the correct lens to get the shot I really wanted, (Oh Santa….!) but I do like what I got. Here are a couple of different ones:

There you go! I have no plans for these pictures, just like to take cool pictures of ordinary things….

My cousin Ginny and her baby Jax came over one day this week and I snapped these few of Jax and Kennedy together…

Kennedy is ‘kissing’ Jax below!

I think she is going to make a great big sister!

Hope you all have a fantastic Monday!

I have to admit that I loved doing this shoot.  Sailer is just adorable and her Mom dressed her in the cutest stuff! This was right up my alley!

I don’t think I could pick a favorite… but there is something about this one (below) that I just love!

I took Kennedy along for this shoot. I do not ever do this, but Aja, being the sweetheart that she is,  insisted that she did not mind. However, Kennedy felt like she needed to get in the pictures too!  These are a couple of shots a captured of her and Sailer….

Ah, It’s Monday again! I have to admit… I am looking forward to the week. I want to get all kinds of stuff done and have already made myself a list titled “Personal Goals this week”. Yes, I know, I am a nerd. But I love list’s! I feel better when I have a list, like I am more organized and it helps me actually get the stuff done! This list only includes personal stuff I want to get done or do. Personal projects or other things, such as yoga! Anyway, I am looking forward to checking off that list….

I warned you all when I started posting “Miscellaneous Monday’s” that it might be random, and this post is definitely random. I am rambling! So feel free to click off and check back later this week for some photo shoots if you are bored out of your mind!

Another little random something; I also love quotes and sayings. I came across one while in the mountains this past week that really cracked me up so I am going to share it with you…

“What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it’s all about?”

Haha! I found myself laughing out loud at that one! (I am also the girl on the card aisle laughing out loud at cards by herself!)

Okay, now for a miscellaneous/random picture… I came across this one recently, I had taken it awhile back and it didn’t turn out anything like I wanted or expected.  I had wanted to take a cool picture of colored pencil’s and got only a couple of shots before I  had to stop for some reason or another and have not given it another thought, till I came across this picture. So, maybe by posting this one it will inspire me to give it another try and get the shot I really wanted!

Brittany and Kate are two gorgeous sisters who asked me to take some pictures for their Mom’s birthday… I am pretty sure their Mom will love this gift!

I also want to mention their clothes…. I have a lot of people ask me what to wear (I love it when people ask me that, because I feel that by wearing the ‘right’ thing it makes for much better pictures!) Here are my thoughts on clothes: First, COLOR is good! If you don’t have something colorful, black is always a good option. Don’t be matchy-matchy, but coordinate. Layers are good, such as a scarf, a belt, vest, sweater, etc. But most importantly, be comfortable. Those are the main things to remember. If you have a shoot with me and have questions, just ask, I’ll be happy to help!  Oh yeah, I started out talking about Brittany and Kate! These two dressed perfect.  Take a look:

Love these next three!

You may remember my cousin’s baby Jax from a couple of weeks ago… I did a few more pictures of him last week. He is such a cutie!

Yes, I know I have posted 3 pictures of his little feet… But, I could not choose!

Today’s Miscellaneous Monday is about Halloween… and a few pictures of my ladybug who didn’t like being a ladybug at all! I put her costume on and she fussed and cried and tried to pull it off!  Here are a couple of shots I grabbed - they are by no means ‘good’ images but you’ll get the idea!

She would NOT keep the hat on, so here is a shot from behind so you can see it…

So, there was my un-happy ladybug!

On another note… as you read this I am in the mountains with my hubby and little girl… (a big Thank You to my in-laws for giving us this trip! We love you!) But, don’t worry, I worked hard before I left and will have a couple more blog posts coming to you this week!

Hope you are all having a fantastic Monday! XoXo

Gillian’s Mom booked me before Gillian was even born, talk about organized! I was impressed! Gillian is simply adorable, here are a few of the shots we captured of her.

Mike and Aja and their kids met me at the pumpkin patch for some candid family shots… and these are a few of my favorites!

Mike, Aja, Austin, Reece and Sailer – as always, Thanks for a good time! XoXo!

In an effort to post more often, I have decided to try posting every Monday, and if I don’t have a shoot ready to share it will be “Miscellaneous Monday”. I will post about miscellaneous things and/or miscellaneous pictures… More than likely there will always be a picture, I am not so good at just writing… I get to distracted and feel to rushed when I post!  But, you may see me posting about random things that are going on in my life, something I currently like (that changes a lot since I am expecting right now!) or just whatever!

Anyway, this week I’ll share a couple pictures of Kennedy with you (I may be sharing a lot of Kennedy on the Misc. Monday’s - Sorry!) These are from her Week 52 shoot… and I just love them!

And a little something that I love right now: The children’s book “Someday” by Alison McGhee and Peter H. Reynolds. I bought this book for Kennedy for her 1st Birthday and I love it SO much!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Meet baby Dash, he is an adorable little 8 week old!

I have to admit, I love this feet shoot!

But I also liked this one..

By the time we took him inside to do a few he was over getting his picture made; he did SO good the whole time though, and I like this one even though he was starting to cry…
