Oh my gosh! Carter is too freaking cute for words… like really, could your eyes get any bluer son?!  And it’s always fun to see Krystle… I absolutely adore seeing her!  She is one of my most favorite people in the entire world…she’s just so wonderful.  And it’s fun that she had a baby so I go see her more often now that I get to take Carter’s pictures…he was just too much fun!

Um, yeah.  So, October has completely gotten away from me.  Volleyball has been kicking my butt this year!   Whenever I get bogged down with blogging, I can never tell if that is a good thing because I am so busy, or if its better to show how busy I am by blogging.  Maybe I just think too much…get ready for a months worth of blog posts in one day!!!

Anywho, poor Vanessa…this sweet lady had to reschedule her shoot 3 different times (i think…I lost count actually!)  There was a last minute trip out of town, the RAIN…remember the crazy rain from like a month ago?!  But we finally got together last week and its a good thing too because Julia made her debut yesterday!!  Can’t wait for the newborn session…

Ahhhhh, little Ariana!  This sweet diva LOVES arms!!!  She was PERFECT when we were holding her…sleepy and quiet and calm.  The second we would lay her down to pose she knew she was not being held and let us know asap.  Kimberly and I pulled out every trick we knew…bouncy swaying, nice warm room, full tummy, lights out, singing…nope.  Only wanted arms.  In fact, this was the first newborn shoot on record that I had to shoot in two separate sessions because after 3 hours and only 10 shots we weren’t getting very far.  Poor Denise and Aaron!  I know how exhausted it is to be a new mommy and felt so bad for asking them to come back.  But in the end we got some beautiful shots…lots of pink lately!  All these newborn girls, I’m telling you…something is in the water.  One of my favorites is the one below with the lasso from Aaron and Denise’s wedding…the lasso is one of my favorites parts of the wedding ceremony so I thought it was sweet to see a representation of what the symbolism of the lasso means.  Just beautiful.denise01denise07denise03denise04denise05denise02denise06
