On love, marriage, and babies…

Monday, October 10th, 2011

It is quite obvious how much weddings, love, and babies mean to me!  After all, I built my business on photographing these things…these special connections that we share with those who mean the most to us.

Well, today (10-10-11) is so very special to me because it marks the day that I said “I DO” to the most amazing man in my life.  It has been two years since our wedding day, but everyday I fall deeper and deeper in love with my husband.  As I have mentioned on my blog before, I guess that is just one of the reasons that I love photographing weddings so much… It reminds me of my own special day. I also love seeing a bride and groom as happy as I remember being on our wedding day.

Choosing to spend your life with someone is a big step and I am so glad I took that leap with my husband!  And just when I think things couldn’t get any better… they do. :)  We are expanding our family and our precious little girl will be here next month.  We are so excited to finally meet this little person that I have been growing for the past eight and a half months.  (I sure hope she likes the camera, haha!)  I am also excited to see my wonderful husband as the amazing dad I know he will be!

Anyhow, no post is complete with out a photo, so here are two.

The first is from our 10-10-09 wedding, taken by Daniel Taylor Photography.
The second is from our recent maternity session, taken by Amanda Dyer Photography.

A belly, 2 pups, and a nursery

Monday, September 5th, 2011

So, it has been a long while since I made any type of personal post, so I guess one was way over due!!!

 

This is how we wake up at our house…. a yawn and  a long stretch in the comfy bed, and then a peek through the doors while mommy gets ready.

This one has made herself comfy on our bed with her toy (instead of laying on the floor)

I started out this pregnancy with the best of intentions on documenting my baby/belly’s growth, but I admit that I have been a little slack at doing so consistently.  Tonight my sweet husband took me out for a pre-birthday date night dinner, and since I already had the camera out from taking photos of the fur-babies earlier I decided to take a quick snap of me at 30 weeks.  (Not too much longer left). Our little girl is growing so much and her little kicks and rolls are getting so much stronger everyday!  I can’t wait to meet this little person growing inside of me!

Here is a sneak peek of one of the elements in her nursery….

(Photos of the entire room to come once we completely finish it!)

After I finished getting ready, I found the fur-babies taking a nap. :)

I know this photo is out of focus, but it was too funny not to share.
I think I startled her during her nap, and I got this crazy look!!!!

Tulips in the Garden

Friday, May 6th, 2011

One day after finishing up a portrait session at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens, I decided to just walk around and take in the beauty that was blooming all around me.  The colors were so vibrant and the blossoms were so fragrant.  It was truly a wonderful sight!

Since I had my camera on my, I snapped a few photos to share the beauty with you.
