Two of a kind in a Full House

My latest session was very special considering I had such an amazing maternity session with their momma. There is so much love in this family that it would take an author a thousand years to even comprehend how to put it on paper. It’s indescribable, really.

I’m an auntie to two very unique and rambunctious twin boys, and I was pleased to learn that these baby girls’ mom goes to great lengths to see that they are treated as individuals rather than a unit. They entered this world early 6 months ago and against great odds, and I know that their parents will strive to treat them just as special and courageous as they have already shown themselves to be.

Senior 2009

This beautiful young woman and her mom braved some very cold weather with me a few weeks ago to have her senior pictures done. Her mom said that she wanted some pictures in a hay field, and I was beyond excited. Little did she know that we would be running around from abandoned house to a small barn and finally downtown Meeker (which is funny enough to say because there is barely enough in Meeker to even call it a town).

I know she’s excited to get to see these, so I’m going to stop running my mouth and let her see!

Lollipops and Lovies

One of my favorite little girls was back for a Christmas session last month, and I couldn’t believe how big she’s grown! She was running all over the place, so we definitely got a workout keeping up with her. I had just finished some fake lollipops, so she was the first to get to try them out. Not bad, huh?

Walk About

My mom always like to go on “walk abouts” around the two acres where I grew up. She would check on the tree saplings and her horses, possibly even stopping to chat with a neighbor. It reminds me of a time when we weren’t too busy to observe our surroundings, take it all in and really enjoy it.

This little boy takes me back to times like that. He was absolutely enthralled with the world around him. I could barely keep up! Right in the middle of my session, we happened upon a woman feeding the park squirrels. I think that every squirrel in the park and their cousins from another nearby park were all there. It seemed like hundreds. And this little guy couldn’t wait to check them out.

Hey Little Mama

This maternity session was so much fun. I learned something from it, though. I’ll never tell someone that I can get a maternity session done in two hours. All of them have been four hours long!

This new mama-to-be had such great clothing choices, we had to try all of them. Just check out that Marylin Monroe dress. Beautiful! There’s even a pair of old cowboy boots in the outdoor photos. I just loved it.

I wish you both the best for a safe and quick delivery of your new baby girl!

Paybacks

My brother and his family are up next. My nephew turned 3 months old last month, and we snapped a few Christmas photos at their house as well.

This one reminds me so much of us growing up in North Dakota. My brother and I would race down the sharp incline on our driveway…and sled down it when it was piled deep with snow. Both my brother and I have kids that look so much like us as kids, it should be a crime.

I really liked this next one, and it will probably embarrass my brother and his wife, but we’ve been doing that for years. Why stop now?

The gummy grins get me every time.

Well, every shot can’t be perfect.

Catching up

Well, I’ve finished my last holiday session edits, so I finally have some time to update my blog. Prepare for update overload! I have a picture of this beautiful family on my last post, but I wanted to share some more of their darling little girl. She was chubby in all the right places. I just loved it.

Her daddy is a Tulsa firefighter, and I love that he had his helmet in the car, so we could snap a few pics. I swear, I want to cry every time I see this pictures. A little girl’s daddy is always her hero, but her daddy is everybody’s hero.

When I was setting up this next basket shot, we had a visitor trying to crash our shoot. Rather than shoo him away, I let him stay. They were enamored with each other. It was probably one of the funniest things that’s happened to me on a job.

Tag, you’re it!

Tagged!! …….
OK, so I was tagged by fellow photographer and blogger, Melissa Mullinax.

“7 Things About Me” … i.e. blogging about 7 things you may not know about me.

The rules:
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.

Whoo boy, random is good. I’m feeling a little random today.

1. I’ve met 5 people in real life that I knew only on the Internet because of my baby blog.
2. When my husband’s immediate family gets together, there are 17 of us, with one baby on the way. Christmas is a whole lot of crazy fun, let me tell you.
3. I have sweet spot in my heart for rescue animals.
4. In college, I was on the crew (rowing) team for Oklahoma State University my freshman year.
5. When I was little, I purposefully crossed my eyes during an eye examination so I could get glasses like my friend. I got them, but it was awful to wear them.
6. I hate to run. Okay, I hate most exercise in general, but I’m actually really enjoying the water and step aerobics classes I’ve been taking at the Y these past few months. I’ve even lost 10 lbs! Yay!
7. I’m considering getting some sheep and chickens because we have a lot of grass to mow and who can resist some fresh eggs? I know there are coyotes out here at night, so that worries me a lot. Maybe one day.

Let’s see, I’ll tag Sheila, Kelly, Tracy, Teddy, Lauren, April, and Monique
