This was quite the photo shoot...the first picture explains it all! Barret just turned two years old and could not be a cuter little man. Despite the few moments of tears and the few moments of avoiding eye contact with me, this was a great shoot! No really, for a two year old Barret was an awesome model. He seriously gave me some amazing shots! It helps that he is so stinking cute, who wouldn't be able to get a good picture of this kid?!!
Bella was 9 days old at her photo shoot, and I can't believe how well she slept. Honestly, I was super nervous that at 9 days she would be wide awake...but mom did a great job of feeding her at just the right time and she slept like an angel. I had never met this cute family before, and I am sooo glad that I did! They were such perfect brand-new parents. Josh was snapping pictures on his cell phone of his beautiful wife and baby while I was taking a few of the shots! And, they are now my very favorite people because they got me the first picture...it is TO DIE FOR! (I couldn't decide on color or black and white, so it is actually the first two pictures!)
Jane Adele is here, and I can't believe how perfect she is! She came out a chubby 8 lbs. 4 ounces, and that was 2.5 weeks early. She has a totally cute dimple in her right cheek that her mommy can't get enough of! I can't get enough of her either, I am constantly running down to their house to hold and squeeze her...and to see her mom, too! I am so excited to be able to watch sweet Jane grow up.
Below is a three generation picture...with hands. It is so beautiful, Good job Grandma Eileen!
Where to begin? Teddy is my "O-man-how-did-I-live-without-you" friend. Ha!! Seriously, her and I clicked from the moment we met. She has to be the single most amazing person, and soon to be mom, ever. Sweet Jane is going to be here in less than 2 weeks and I can't wait to meet her. I wish she knew how much she is going to be loved, Teddy and Scott are going to be phenomenal parents. Teddy looks so beautiful pregnant, don't you agree?!
O man...I just love newborns. Eli is my good friend Jaime's sweet new baby. He was just 7 days old when we took these pictures, and, of course, alert as ever! It is funny how parents always tell me that they babies sleep constantly, then I get the camera in their face and they are wide awake! We had to do a little coaxing, but Eli finally fell asleep and was so photogenic. Thanks for trusting me with your little one, Jaime!
Britt is such a fun girl, and I couldn't believe how photogenic she was! I barely ever had to position her, she knew just what to do...such a great pose-striker! We had a really fun time running around in the almost-ghetto of Omaha. She is headed into her senior year of high school and I am sure that she is gonna have a blast this year!
I LOVE FALL! Can you believe the leaves in these pictures?! This family was so, so much fun to take pictures of, and good thing they were in good spirits because it was pouring rain the ENTIRE shoot! I couldn't believe our horrible luck. The pictures ended up WAY better than I expected, I could barely choose which ones to post. I think my favorite one is the side profile of Kaisley, she was dressed so, so adorable. Thanks Minerts!
