Stella's 1st birthday!

Ok, I'm convinced that I can't shoot my own parties while hosting...it just doesn't work! I tried to capture the moments and am at least happy with the cake shots...but I didn't do the cake or the decor justice! I have lots of photos of Stelly's friends too, I just couldn't get everything posted in time for Thanksgiving. Anyway, here are a few of them that I took...and thankfully, I had a friend taking photos as well, so someday I'll get to those and post some of them too!

A few fall favorites...

squeaky clean!

Stelly taking a bird bath in the kitchen sink. She had every rubber ducky from her party in there with her :)

Halloween...

Ok, a little behind on these, but today, I thought I had accidentally erased this card without uploading them. Once I found them, it inspired and motivated me to post at least one of each!




I think these are also the LAST shots taken with my fuji...

Be careful what you say!

Me: Eva, get your pink hightops out of your closet so we can leave.
Eva: What are hightops?
Me: They are shoes that go up high.
Eva: (Looking in her closet) Which ones?
Me: (Pointing) Right there.
Eva: Oh, ok (followed by her throwing them up in the air) Oh, right, they do go up high.

:)

Halloween goodies...

Just a few things that were on our night before Halloween dinner menu...I just love Halloween ;)

Buddies

The boy

Latest furniture ad

After all the shots they take, I always wonder which one will be chosen...

Some updates...

This photo is from labor day weekend. We went blueberry picking somewhere in western NC. Stella and I were taking a little break in the car when I took this. I just love her expression! Oh, and I don't do any post processing on those gorgeous blues...


I dug this photo up last night. She is probably about 6 months old here...

She's so silly

Eva just walked into my office to tell me she has the hippycups. I assume she means, wait it is now confirmed, the hiccups :)

Jellybeans - yum!

Eva and I have a homework assignment...to put together a collage of some of her favorite things. Well, I rarely have any pictures of this little one so we decided that we are going to do it from scratch. She told me yesterday that jellybeans need to be on there, so here it is - taken yesterday:

My new goal...

My goal is to have this by the time I shoot my December 20th Wedding...Merry Christmas to me! It's only 3k!

pretty handsome, eh?
