Gregory Lawrence

This family is absolutely amazing!

Kelly has known my family since when she was in first grade, making me still a few years away from the days of going to school. Throughout the years I have many memories of her, but getting to do her family photos of her brand new baby boy (3 months, but still pretty darn new compared to you and me!) is definitely at the top of the charts.

As she's now living out in Texas arranging this shoot was more difficult than we would have liked, but as we were both really determined to find time to do these photos we made it work (I got up before 8am on a weekend!!). And I'm so glad we did.

I also got to use my owl hat, really meant for a 1 year old, but it was perfect for them as Gregory's nursery is all done up with owls.

Enjoy!!











Gregory is absolutely blessed to be raised by these two as his parents. Their love for him is already so very evident!!!

Mini Preview of Baby G

There is so much I wanna say, but since this is just a mini post I'll just leave you with this:

Kelly and Jesse are very blessed parents.





This next one I love. Absolutely love love. I can totally tell he's smiling (G loves naked time!) but others might not be able to tell, so just so you know. This is not a scream of unhappiness but of pure giddiness!



And I am a blessed photographer =)

Ashlyn and Family

Sooo, I'm a great Aunt, and have been for just over a month. As you can imagine I already have oh.... 2,000 pictures of the little doll. However I have been quite remiss in not posting any here!!

So here is a look at Ashlyn, delivery (well, the parts where I wasn't passing out) to the first photo shoot and beyond. Well, there isn't much beyond yet, but there will be!!











First time holding his daughter


Three generations, each looking down at their baby girl


Great Grandma getting to be with her family










LOVE the baby fingers!


And especially the toes!! Look at those tiny feet!






Photoshoot with the Grandmas and daddy


Don't these grandmas look great?!?


Baby girl loves her daddy




And that's when he first smelled that something was wrong....


Apparently her diaper wasn't very secure...


And he was NOT a happy daddy!!


Daddy and baby girl are having a stern face contest... I think she won.


There will be many more coming, this is just a teaser!!

Ashlyn has arrived!

Baby Ashlyn has finally made her appearance! And we were hoping she'd come early... shows what we know.

She was born at 8:15 pm, 7lbs 15oz, 20 inches. And absolutely gorgeous.

Photos of her will be coming soon, but until then here are some photos of her cute room that's been waiting for her.

This is what's written on the wall outside her room:


Look at that crib! The gauze covering was her aunts and has now been passed down.




Look at all that pink!




Mini Ugg Boots!



Ashlyn's got some cute clothes and binkies, that's for sure.

Baby Nephew

This is my nephew Avery - so adorable, and quite honestly the happiest baby you'll ever see. Taking pictures of him was a breeze - the easiest photo shoot ever, which is great since it was impromptu.



This is my niece Delaney, holding Avery. She was quite enamored with him, and it seemed mutual.



I haven't actually gotten to spend much time with this little guy (now about 15 months) but I'm certainly going to have to start spending more itme around him. His happiness is contagious.






Soon my other niece is due and I can't wait to take pictures of her little baby girl. I took some maternity pictures the other weekend and will hopefully post those soon.
