Baby Jackson

The number one rule for newborn photography is: PATIENCE. And yes - it totally paid off. Take a look at this handsome little guy!

The Harris Family

It was a little chilly to do photos yesterday but we made it through. Who would have known since earlier this week it was in the 80s. Oh well we survived. Enjoy pictures of the Harris family, and handsome little Payden!

On the Farm

John and I got to take a trip up to the Farm this weekend to visit the Morrison Family and take a few pictures. It has been such a treat getting to know the Morrisons over these last few years, and I always enjoy taking pictures of their kids. This time was a special treat because we did something a little different: a giant pillow fight! Yes, at the end of our session we let the kids have a giant pillow fight so I could take some candid photos. I must say these photos are absolutely priceless, and I am so glad we did this! Thanks guys for bringing the mattress out into the field. We had such a great time on Saturday - a break very much needed!

The Whole Family: The Whitt Family!

Here is a quick sneak peek of the Whitt Family. Aren't these kids just the cutest? Enjoy the pics!

Shalene & Kayla: Best Friends Forever

So this past weekend I finished up my sessions with Shalene and Kayla. We had a great time driving down to Crocker, MO for the first part of our session and finishing the rest up here in downtown Springfield. Oh someday I can't wait to have teenage girls :) They are so much fun! Especially this pair! Enjoy!

5 Reasons I KNOW for sure I am PREGNANT!!!

Note#1: Despite all of these crazy reasons John and I are absolutely thrilled, ecstatic, and overjoyed to be welcoming Baby Washburn #2. No we will not be announcing the name until baby arrives, and yes we have decided we are going to find out the sex of the baby due to our possible major life change, moving to Peru, next Fall.

Note #2: I do not feel like I am showing earlier than last time, but if I relax it looks like I am 5 months along - of course this is due to Baby Washburn #1, Caleb. Totally worth every stretched out ab muscle.

Okay now for these reasons....

Reason #1 Well the Pregnancy test told me so - that one is obvious I suppose :) Caleb tells me everyday as well by pointing to my belly and saying baby, but with a Spanish accent -- priceless.

Reason #2 I am sick all of the time - yes morning, afternoon, night time, even when I wake up to go to the bathroom a million times in the night...which leads me to number 3...

Reason #3 The bathroom and I have become best friends.

Reason #4 I am loosing my memory, and quite frankly I think my mind. Yes it's true I made a pizza with hash browns instead of cheese. No it was not on purpose, and yes it was truly disgusting. I am also talking to inanimate objects like they are children?? Oh, and I forget things like giving my 16 month old a bowl of yogurt is a bad idea...because he does not know how to use a spoon yet...as shown below. Not sure what I was thinking or if I was even thinking. He was being so quiet and content I was just letting him be. Then I glanced over at him and thought to myself, "I think it is bath time".



Reason #5 I have gone through I think 5 or 6 bags of apples already. Yes, I know a strange craving but it happened with Caleb as well. Unfortunately it seems as though my favorite brand of apple, pink lady apples, is out of season...strange. Also unfortunately, I do not really like any other food right now...as a result no weight gain. Totally typical for me though so no worries.

16 months!!!

Our little man is 16 months. Umm...time flies. It is harder to do picture taking with him these days. He is such a little discoverer. We tried :( Next time I will bring John with me!
