My neighbor asked me to take pregnancy photos of her but the difference with this pregnancy shoot and the other ones I’ve done is that I usually get asked this for baby number one… this is baby five for K! And boy do they make cute kids! Here are a few of my favorites from the session – 

I loved to see the Love between these two…


We are excited to meet you Baby Boy!!

My daughter took my phone the other day and started taking some photos with the Hipstamatic App that I have on my iPhone. I had to share a couple with you -

Cool, no?

My sister said that about farting once…”Ah man, it’s never not funny!” And I thought that was funny! You see, she used a double negative! And she’s a comedian so the way she said it… And it’s about FARTING!….Oh, never mind….
Anyway, I think laughter is really important. The man I married made me laugh and thankfully still makes me laugh. I know he will continue to make me laugh.
I think that is why this image is one of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken.

I was hired to photograph their anniversary party given to them by their children. I hope that someone catches a shot like this of me and my husband at our 58th Wedding Anniversary Party.
Hopefully it isn’t because one of us farted.
(Note: that isn’t why they are laughing in this photo, btw… They are super classy and would never have hired me had they known I giggle like a Jr Higher when anyone passes gas in my vicinity.)

We had our home group over for dinner this weekend again. It really is one of my favorite things to do. We had such a great time that the neighbors up and down the block commented on it the following day. Now that is a party! My cheeks still hurt from laughing. We had a tacofest. Here are some photos from the night -

Ben has been working hard to get our wall of windows and doors finished for the party. I love how it turned out!

I made Whoopie Pies for dessert! I’ve never made them before and will definitely be making them again. The ones with Oatmeal have a Bacon-Maple filling. Yum! I’m not kidding! You can find the recipe here. 
But the yummiest dish of the night…these cheeks here -
Doesn’t the wall look so pretty?!
My friend Dawn grabbed my little camera and took some great shots of the night. I made a collage of them -
Oh! They are going to kill me for posting that! So long world!

When you start a shoot, everyone is a little stiff and unsure with frozen smiles and a fear of getting their clothes dirty. But once the kids realize that I’m just there to play, they often have a lot of fun. “Hey, take a picture of this!” “Hey, watch me do this!” Here’s what the boys wanted me to take a photo of in the last shoot “Hey, my brother wants you to take a picture of him jumping over me and then crop me out.”
I think I like it better with the brother in, don’t you?
