Baby ‘B’ {newborn}

Usually the ideal time to photograph a newborn is within the first 2 weeks.  When Baby B’s mom called at 6 weeks she was worried that she had missed the window.  Posing with his dad’s duck calls, Baby B made his parents proud.  This little guy didn’t make a peep, already the signs of a good duck hunter;)   basin6

Meet Vanessa

Let me start with a quick intro:

In the summer of 2013, I moved to a city I wasn’t too fond of for schooling and decided in order to pass my time I needed a hobby. Instead of choosing something healthy like jogging or something productive like learning to cook, I chose photography.  It’s better than gambling I figured, so one point for Vanessa.  After taking photos with my iPhone for the mens fashion blog ‘We, the Timeless’ I decided to step up my game and make a SLR purchase.  Yolo.   

I’ve always admired my older sisters.  I mean, who wouldn’t.  They’re gorgeous, amazing women and of course their photography is always spot on.  I have always been the lil tag along sister, so once again I’m going to tag along and show you ‘what makes me click’.

Love is all you need

Okay…I know I said I was taking a break but since Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite days of the year…I had to pop in and do one quick post of my sweet boys and their V-day cards.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

And of course…what would a photo shoot with kids be without some serious bloopers!

Baby Reed

Mmmm…that new baby smell!  Ahhh…those chubby legs!  Grrr…those interrupted nights!  Welcome little baby Reed!

We are so happy to have a beautiful little son to add to our family.  He is such a happy & content little guy…which makes me sooo happy and content!  When I pick him up in the mornings and he gives me that huge smile…that’s a feeling that no amount of caffeine can give me!  His looks are changing everyday…so for now it’s hard to say who he looks like.  But in my eyes…he is the cutest baby around!

I had forgotten all those new baby things…like holding in a cough or sneeze so you don’t wake the baby…praying that you hit every green light so the car doesn’t stop and the baby stays sleeping….pretending that spit up and saliva on my shirt is a new fashion accessory…and staring in amazement that something soooo beautiful can be trusted in my arms.

I was nervous of how Dre was going to react…but its been incredible to watch this sweet bond form between the two of them.  Reed always has a huge smile for Dre and loves to sit and watch him play cars.   Dre always makes a beeline for Reed as soon as he hears a squeak and loves ‘helping’ burp him or push him in the swing.

I love my 2 sons and right now they require my full attention.  So I’ve decided to take a bit of a break from the blog. We started the blog as a fun way to share our life and photos…and right now I’m just finding it to be another thing on my list of things to do. So…for now I will be an ‘editor at large’.  However…we DO have something planned to fill my place…so keep checking back!

Juliana {Sutter Union High School}

I didn’t get a chance to meet Juliana until the day of her shoot, but I soon found out what a sweet and friendly girl she is.  It was a gorgeous winter day to be outside and before we knew it 2 hours had passed!  Thank you for trusting me to photograph your beauty Juliana!
