Please excuse my lack of wittiness in this blog post.  A crazier weekend with an even busier week ahead has resulted in an extreme need for some ibuprofen.

Once again, life has gotten away from me.  Swim lessons 5 nights a week, demanding times at work, soccer, personal stresses, lots of photo sessions!, and an insurance legal battle have left me running on fumes (not to mention in pain – insurance has stopped paying for my neck/back therapy).

So I am going to stop promising that I won’t do this, and once again, crush everyone’s hopes and dreams of a blog post all to themselves :(  I promise that I will make an attempt to try harder!  But until something gives, I must get my beauty sleep or I am pretty sure I will grow horns.  Red ones.  With glitter…

Here are a few of my favorites from the past few sessions :)

Meet Jordan.  He is going to be spending alot of time with us starting tomorrow!

Please excuse my watermark on this pic – I just can’t control the darn thing!

This is Bekah, and her beautiful family.  She is amazing with kids, and we are so lucky that we found her.

Does this cutie look familiar?  She should :)

I got both of the dogs to look at the camera at the same time.  I gave myself a pat on the back.

It is hard to believe that Grey is 6 months old!

And Tate is already 3 months!  These babies are growing way too fast :(

It is hard for me to look at him and not call him Cooper!  He is his big brother’s mini-me!

And a few maternity pictures for good measure!  Little Amos Jr. is now 1 month old, they live in Louisville, but I can’t wait to meet him.

Goodnight friends!

Can 2 get any cuter?

I don’t think so!

Libbie was such a joy to play with!  Another great client, another great location!  2010 has been AMAZING so far :)

I met Lori and her beautiful family in October at my mini shoot marathon!  Grey was only a few weeks old, and of course it had to be the coldest day of the year thus far!  When she contacted me to shoot Grey’s 3 month photos she suggested an amazing location last minute – The Blue Manatee in Hyde Park.  What is that, you ask?  An AMAZING children’s bookstore!  I had never been there before.  It is cute, colorful, and full of amazing children’s books, and attached to a little cafe.  Not to mention next to the Spotted Goose, and adorable children’s boutique!

What a PERFECT way to kick of 2010 @ My Bluegrass Baby Photo!

Thank you Lori, for introducing me to such a wonderful Cincinnati treasure.  BB will love it when we get the chance to make it back up there!  I can’t wait to see your family (and the dogs!) again in April!

Show business!

I have a feeling you will see this little guy on a stage someday!  He is such a ham!  I have never shot a child so young that was so willing to pose!  His sister was another story, she ran from the big black scary monster as fast as she could :)  But I still caught a few frames of adorableness :)

Oh those eyes!

My new FAVORITE!

Thank you Amber for contacting me!  It was so great to see you again and meet your children.  They are beautiful!

When I talk to other photographers, most of them tell me that their least favorite photography subjects are children.  They don’t sit still, they can’t pose them, ect.  That is the reason I LOVE photographing kids.  They don’t put on fake smiles, they don’t pose like statues.  They are just living with what they are given, and that pureness makes the best photos :)

Meet Ryan…

…he is going to be a ladykiller one day with those blue eyes…

…his parents adore him…

…he adores his parents…

…and a second after this frame was shot, I let him fall face first into the mulch :(

…he wasn’t too mad at me….

…I love photographing children :)

Happy 1st Birthday Ryan!
