Newborn Sweetheart!
I must start off by being grateful to Josh for supporting me SO much in the photography business. I honestly do not know how one can do it without this kind of support! In this case, Josh did not only hold up backdrops and bear with me in the insanely hot room that kept Carter cozy, he actually helped in the posing! I am so glad he had been there to make this session a blast! And Carter, you are the sweetest baby!
Mom and dad wanted to keep his “battle scar”! I think it adds character!
It’s Resolution Time – Hello 2012!!!
How many of you like to sit down at the end of a year and try to reflect on some resolutions for the next year to come? I know I like to at least change a few things I do and try to make life a bit more organized than in the previous year. It’s almost like spring cleaning in my desk area and in my digital filing system. As I have been storing digital files of weddings, family & senior sessions, and even personal photos I meant to blog about; I realized that MANY sessions ended up in the I’ll-blog-about-them-tomorrow pile, and that that pile became ever so high! The main reason I justify this lack of blogging is probably best illustrated by this Mercedes Benz ad, perfectly illustrated by Gil Aviyam and Lena Guberman 
Lets’ just erase most items on the left side (especially anything that has to do with writing) and that might as well be my brain! But since I know that many love to see updated blogs (myself ironically included), I decided that one of my resolutions of 2012 is to keep my blog updated. I may need your help by commenting on some of my posts and ask me questions like “where did she get that dress?” or “I need one of those dreadlock hats!”. Or you can just flat out tell me that should have had my husband edit my Puerto-Rican spiced blog post so everyone can read what I am saying without all the extra fluff! 
Anyway, in honor of my new year resolution, I will not consider myself as seriously keeping my blog if I still have that mile high pile of unwritten blog posts, so I am going to sum up some of our 2011 experiences here on the eve of my resolution. They are not in any specific order but I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
On a personal note, another New Year resolution I made is to eat at least 3 salads a week… and I’m not counting green Jell-O!!! What are some new year resolutions you made?
The Delivery Room- Birth Photography Lawrence KS
These hospital pictures will always amaze me because of the moments just before becoming a mommy are usually the most painful, before the epidural of course! Pregnancy and delivery is probably the most sacrificial moments a mother can give to her child. You’ve heard them all, from 2-72 hours of labor (one of my sisters included), moms share their pain to their children to remind them that they went through a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to bring them into the world. This to me is pure love. And having photos like these are small reminders of such moments to share with generations to come.
Maternity & Newborn sessions- music video included
When I was pregnant with my son, I felt like I was the most beautiful woman in the world. I really can’t identify with the sentiment that the extra weight and bloating makes you feel unattractive. For me it was an enhancement, not a hindrance, to my self-image. The last maternity session I shot really took me back to that time.
The mother was positively radiant. I met her and her husband when I took their wedding pictures last year. I loved taking their pictures then, and loved taking their pictures now. They are such a fun, down-to-earth and beautiful couple! And now, they have their little one in their arms, the now have the added glow I notice on new parents. Who, in spite of the reduced hours of sleep, just beam of excitement to have their family grow with love.
Couldn’t get enough of the cuteness? Watch their video. Now the lyrics may not match this couple much ut the rhythm of the music was just perfect.
A Pearl of Great Price – Newborn Photography Olathe KS
Recently, I went to Olathe KS to take pictures of this little pearl. She was wide awake and showing off her beautiful newborn eyes for most of the shoot. And when she did sleep, she took that priceless look even further. What a beauty!
