snowfall in march {crazy}

The weather people kept telling us that we were going to get snow on Sunday but I didn't really believe them... Boy did we get snow! We still have snow on the ground three days later. And they are still predicting that it will be 70 degrees on Saturday -- which I hope for because I'm ATTENDING a wedding and I want to wear fun, spring clothes!

We ventured out to Jerry's farm to take some pictures; Henry wasn't too big on all of the clothes he had to wear, so this get-up didn't last very long...

Just long enough for Jeremy to take a picture of us and to the car we went so that we could strip down (just a little bit) and nurse for a minute.

This is the new get-up - the maya wrap - under my coat with a hat. He liked that a whole lot better!!



Everyone knows I must take a picture of my feet wherever I go...

The local Christmas tree farm



Our house!! So crazy, the amount of snow!

Cooper {one year session}

I had the best time chasing Cooper around the other night! We met at the coffee shop and ended up at Hartwell Elementary School. I lucked out with the weather; it was overcast and warm!

Isn't he cute? I got about one minute of Cooper standing still to snap a few and then he was off!



This one makes me laugh -- Trent wanted Cooper to run to him so he could 'catch' him, but Cooper wasn't having any of that!








Julie, Trent, thanks so much for your cooperation!! I hope you guys had a good time!

Landon {Birthday}

Landon is FIVE!!! So I just have to say that it is absolutely unbelievable that Landon is 5. Landon's mom, Jennifer, called me when she was pregnant to see if I did maternity photos. Before Landon was even born, we had 2 or 3 maternity session with and without Landon's dad, Shannon, and I was at their home a couple days after Landon was born to shoot Landon's newborn images. I would love to post some of those old images, but a lot of it was shot on film, and I don't have them scanned in... However, I've taken pics of Landon everywhere you can think of and for every holiday and birthday.

I find it incredible how fast things change and how the same things stay. Jennifer and I still can't decide where to take pictures, Landon still makes the same silly face when we ask him to smile, and we still buy proofs to put in the albums that we've been ordering for years. Yet, Landon is FIVE; he has conversations with me, and thinks I'm cool when I let him do things that might get him dirty! He's no longer the tiny, squishy baby that I started with; how does this happen so fast? I don't know. I'm sure I'll be wondering the same thing when Landon turns 10 (and Henry turns 5!)

Here are my favorite images from Landon's 5 year session.

Jackson & Family {Christening}

I had the pleasure of photographing Jackson's christening ceremony and reception last Sunday at the First United Methodist Church. I photographed Renee and John's wedding 4 years or so ago and it was so fun to see them and to document this special time for them.

While I was at their new home for the reception, we snuck in a few family portraits!
