You can be looking forward to us sharing some of our recent work, along with some of the work from this past year for you to see!  For now, I thought I would share a pic of our family (thank you Mae & Michael).

Many of you have been waiting to see pictures for a long time and we are so excited to finally have a chance to breathe and show off our little angels!

Probably my fave shot of the two of them.

Another cuddly shot.. You know it’s kind of funny. When we look at them now we can see all their little differences.  However when we were at the hospital, we could barely tell them apart!  We had to get pink & blue blankets so that we knew who was who!   There were several times where we thought we had one baby and come to find out it was the other one!  Now they look completely different!!  I can’t figure out how they could grow inside me for 9 months and come out looking the same but then change so drastically in just a few short weeks! … or we can simply blame it on complete sleep deprivation!!!

Oops.. too bad our logo goes right through her face on this one!

Well, we hope you have been enjoying that we have been blogging  a bunch again!  The pregnancy was really hard on me and our blog kind of went by the wayside.  However, we have so much to show you!!!!  Keep checking in!

Funny story behind this shot.  We were on a somewhat major street and had pulled aside to get shots in the yellow flowers/weeds.  Donny wasn’t really liking the shirt I was wearing and suggested I take it off…. I kinda laugh now, because I normally am pretty conservative on these matters, but… when it comes to cool pictures… the picture wins, right?  — Cars definitely started slowing down!!  LOL…   So moral of the story is that I know we ask a lot of our clients to do funny things and ask that they trust us — we even have to take our own advise sometimes! (Disclaimer:  We generally do not ask clients to take their clothes off )

We can’t wait to share more with all of you as our family grows!  Thanks for being a part of our lives!

Anyway, our little one was so excited to see her brand new cousin.  I can’t even explain the look of complete adoration that she had in her eyes for Hadyn.  She held her so well and would pat her kindly.  Her first comment was “cute mouth!”  What made her think that, I have no idea.  Then she would move the baby’s face by pushing her cheek softly and turning it toward her saying, “Wook (look) at me.”  

Her sweet smile is precious!

Let me just throw out some information — traveling by plane with a toddler — by yourself — is a task for only those who are a bit looney.  Seriously, what was I thinking?  Since I am planning on doing a photo shoot of my new niece, I had one shoulder bag on one shoulder full of camera gear, another bag on the other shoulder for my laptop and assorted diaper bag items mixed in (both really heavy bags).  On my hip I had our daughter who just “couldn’t” go without her “green blankie”.  Add to that a huge bag containing our little one’s car seat which I basically DRUG (literally) throughout the airport because I had no other way of carrying it.  All of those items I had to carry on.  Then I had a suitcase full of our things and a backdrop which I was able to check.  I know I must have been quite a sight!  Quite surprisingly almost no-one offered to help!!!  I was kind of surprised!  It was a fun trip… so glad Grandma will be flying back with us on the way home!

Donny took a few pics for us to laugh about before I left.  These are taken from the little point and shoot…  Honestly the picture doesn’t do it justice compared to the sight it was trying to see me carry all this stuff.  I literally had our daughter dangling in my arms!

And one of our Little Monkey with her monkey on her first plane ride!

Since we are traveling so much this month, please be patient with us if we are unable to respond to phone calls or emails immediately.

We were hoping to be able to blog some of the AWESOME shots we got while we were up here, but it looks like that won’t be able to happen for a few days.  This has rendered us unable to answer email as well, so please be patient and we will get back to everyone on Monday.  

Enjoy the weekend!  

Actually, the only real thing I have wanted is what I call a “baby camera.”  No, it’s not for a baby.  It’s just a small, non professional camera — you know, the one most families have!  Although I don’t want to use it all that often because it doesn’t feel right not having all the options and quality that our pro cameras have, it does come in handy when we don’t want to be carrying our huge cameras and lenses.  … Donny has never really appreciated my desire for one of these little cameras.  He finds it humorous that we are awaiting a few 5D Mark IIs and yet I still want something cute and little!  Nonetheless, a pretty package came in the mail yesterday!  Thank you honey!
