So I know natural birth isn’t for everyone and people have their views, but we are choosing to go natural for many reasons. We are doing the Bradley Method and I think it will be really good for us. I wanted to share the link to the Bradley instructor whos classes we are in the middle of doing. If you are at all interested, check out Educate Your Birth and contact Kyla and Joel for class information. Even if you think you HAVE to go medicated at the hospital because you don’t handle pain well, just give it a shot and read their birth stories on the blog. They will answer any questions you have, and also you can go to a sneak peak type of class which I did and loved it.
Ok I’ll get off my soap box but I’ve told so many of you about the classes I figured I would share the link!

My mother in law got us our BOB jogging stroller for the baby.  I put it together and absolutely LOVE it! Granted I can’t use it until the baby is here but I have some questions for those of you who have one…

-Do you use a secondary stroller?

-Does this stroller work as your every day stroller? Just get a car seat adapter and use that when you are out?

We also got a little Evenflow travel system with car seat and whatnot but it’s definitely not as cool as this one… I’m thinking maybe I don’t need the travel system with this?  Maybe I can get one of those cheapie car seat frame strollers for when I need to run to the store or bank or something then use this for the bigger trips?  hmm…. decisions decisions!

Suggestions are VERY much appreciated!

The intimate sessions went FANTASTIC! I can’t wait to post some pictures but I have to get the ladies authorization first Anyway here is a tiny sneak peak… they are so beautiful I wish I could show everyone but I give my ladies the right to have me keep them private
Expect a little more in a week or so!
AND if you are interested in doing them in January for the Valentines special, please let me know! I already have an interest list forming!

Here we go! Baby Joshua (the baby from the sofa) is now 8 months and his session went very well. 8 months is a PERFECT age to photograph I love it… they can’t run around yet, but they can sit up and focus…

Just a quick reminder–time is running out for holiday sessions! I am shooting until October 11th for holiday orders. If you need your family sessions, newborns, seniors etc without the rush for the holidays then I will be shooting again around mid November.
I am fully booked during a few upcoming weekends so don’t miss out! Give us a call to schedule your session and place your holiday card orders!

These are PERFECT for baby sessions, kid sessions and family sessions. They are 12×12 but we can do them larger. What a super awesome deal… 15 of your images (I can adjust like I did here) with a box of text–how adorable! Ask about one at your next ordering session!

My good friend from high school Brooke is having baby #2 in September (he better be early so she can make it to my shower!) and she had her baby shower for baby Hudson this weekend. Of course I can’t leave the house without my camera so I snapped some quick shots.
Everything was just beautiful… Hudson is coming into one of the best families ever

My friend Sarah (who’s maternity pictures I did) had her baby a tiny bit early and I was so excited to go see them in the hospital today… less then 24 hours old! She’s in the nicu because of her being early but she’s doing great and should go home soon! Itty bitty tinie tiny baby Elizabeth is 4lbs 5 oz 16″… I hope to do their newborn family session once they go home! I wasn’t able to hold her because she was getting ready for a test but I was able to snap a few shots… most of which she was being shy covering her face… stinker! Enjoy this precious one….
No worries Elizabeth–baby Lilly will be here soon for you to play with!

My Aunt wanted a photo session of her grandkids so of course I was there to take pictures My older cousins have gotten so big I can’t even believe they are teenagers now…I feel old! Anyway… we had a ton of fun at the park and I think this will be a yearly treat
