I’ve been soooo busy lately that I almost forgot that it was time to pull the camera out to take pictures of my own sweet baby.
I’m so glad that she’s still so good at modeling for me. I hope she stays that way forever! of course, it helps to have two silly brothers to help her smile and giggle.
Btw… do you see those cute little teeth of hers. She’s got one more on top and another on the way. Poor baby!
LOVE her….

This week’s theme was vintage or old. If you could see my prop closet (okay so they’re all over my houe and garage) you would know that finding something vintage is not a problem around here. I actually considered taking a self portrait as I’m having lots of days where these 5 kids of mine definitely make me feel old, but this guy was much cuter! I couldn’t resist! And stay tuned, as I’ll be sharing lots more of him later. His whole gallery of photos is amazing!!!
Carver… hangin’ out in my vintage pram….

What a sweet little guy he was. And he brought his whole family with him, including grandma and grandpa. This little guy is definitely LOVED!!!
I’m pretty sure his older sisters and his big brother are over the moon….

My sweet little girl going cross-eyed with my glasses on.
I love her!

You heard that right! I’ve had so many emails and inquiries about whether I offer workshops or mentorings and I really haven’t been able to do any of that with a new baby and 5th child. BUT…. when I was asked to come teach at a workshop I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let someone else do all the setting up and organizing and I just get to come and share!!
AND… the workshop will consist of one other teacher, Neil van Niekerk, who just happens to be an AMAZING lighting expert!
This workshop will be limited to only 30 attendees, with only 15 in each class at a time, so spots will fill FAST!

I can’t wait to meet you all!!!

Families like these are a HUGE reason of why I love what I do! I am so blessed that people like them find me and I get to spend just a few hours with them and their sweet new babies. You all should be jealous, because I truly have the best job in the world!
Tony and Leslie, thank you so much for such a fabulous session! It was such an honour to get to snuggle sweet little Nick!

She’s at that fun stage where it seems like she does something new everyday. The kids work with her every day trying to get her to do a real crawl. She’ll go an inch and then pretty much scoots backwards. This girl is going to be all over the place before I know it….. I’m not ready!

So this year I am really hoping to take more photos of my kids… and not just Layla . A few of my photographer friends are starting and joing different photography challenge groups for the year. Some involve a picture a day, others a picture a week and some are trying to commit to just once a month. I’m feeling a little ambitious wanting to commit to the once a week challenges but I’m going to try! The group I’ve joined is putting out weekly themes for inspiration… you can take them any way you want…
So this weeks theme was light…
Just trying to get a picture of cute little Carson on his new bike with a little evening flare.

Her mom called me the day before her due date to schedule maternity and newborn photos. It was a good thing she called when she did because we got her in for pregnancy photos the next day and she went into labor that night! Perfect timing!!
This sweet little girl was a joy to photograph. She slept like a champ and was the perfect little model.
