Will You Be MY VALENTINE???

This is Caleb's Valentine's Day shoot. We did it last week but it has taken me a while to get them up here. Thanks to the blizzard here in MO I now have plenty of time! I am just in love with this little guy!

Everyday he is getting bigger but I just cannot get over how tiny his little feet still are.

Momma is still working on the whole "tying a tie" thing...you would think with a college degree I could figure it out :)

Photobucket

Oh, this is cheesy but true - this little man holds the key to my heart...

Photobucket

The many faces of my boy. He was soooo good while I was taking pictures.

Photobucket

I love to sit back and just watch him discover things/put things in his mouth. Everyday it is something new for him!

He is such a precious boy. So sweet and chill. Just like his Daddy. I love my BOYS!

We tried taking some photos with those traditional little heart candies but all Caleb wanted to do was eat them and since I did not have my assistant (John) to help me I resolved that those pictures will just have to wait till he is older.

Christian: Senior Portraits

This past Saturday I enjoyed a chilly afternoon taking some senior portraits with Christian. We started downtown and ended up on the courts. Basketball is Christian's passion and he was working it hard as I tried out some sports photography. For legal reasons I can only show certain photos - but enjoy the creativity in them. It was definitely hard to pick a favorite...he was such a great model! Wish you guys could see all of them!

What is keeping me busy these days...

Eight months...

Photobucket

here is my view for most of the days/weeks of army crawling...

comforting little man teething...see the two bottom teeth!

and I would not trade it for anything!!!

Being a parent is much different than I thought it would be. Easier in lots of aspects, harder in some, and completely surprising in others. Life is good.

Quinn Evelyn

Introducing BABY QUINN!

Photobucket

Today I had the privilege of doing a newborn shoot for the Morrison Family. This is blessing #6 for the Morrison Family! Not sure how Mama Morrison handles life with such poise with having six around - however I must say the Morrison children are always on their best behavior and every time we are around them we always have a blast. Thanks for letting me take Quinn's newborn photos, and WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY QUINN!! (possibly future Mrs. Washburn) :)

Learning to Read

We are starting early on the whole reading thing..and really right now he just wants to EAT the books.

Photobucket

the Holiday Season came and went....

Can't believe how fast Christmas came and went. It seems like a blur!

Photobucket

yes...yes..yes.. I know it is a crime I am a photographer and I did not take a single picture on Christmas! Nope, not a single one. Got wrapped up in the day and completely forgot. Enjoyed the moment. So I will have to do some staged ones I guess.
