stuff accomplished

My child napped from 10-2:30 today this = lots of stuff accomplished!

Belly Bands & Baby Bands

Instead of buying props I got creative in trying to keep down the costs of my photography by making my own belly bands and head bands. Check them out! Now all I need is some little girls to model them for me! Right now all of my upcoming newborns are boys. I find that it kind of goes in trends - all boys for a few months - then all girls. Girls where are you!?!

Oh the World Seems so Simple...

On our way home today...

Wooden Thread Spools

I was at Joanns the other day buying some thread for my up and coming craft projects. I bought one spool for like a $1.50 and that is the cheap stuff - when I got home I was digging through my craft supplies and found these. Some of these had a price tag on them for $0.30! Boy has that changed! I got these from a garage sale about 12 years ago when I got my first sewing machine. The thread colors are gorgeous but I don't use them because I like the look of the old spools.

New Floor: Photo Prop Floors are AWESOME!

I am branching out with Newborn Photography this year! Soo..I went ahead and bought some more floors/backdrops. I am super excited for this new season in my photography. I just got another floor from Photo Prop Floors and I must say I am always happy with their work. They come highly recommended from me! I just had to take some pics of Caleb on it before it gets worn in by all these little babies :) Can't wait for my newborn shoot in March!

Check them out!

Orchids {My Favorite Flower}

John got me these for Valentine's Day. I have not had a chance to get a picture until now. I just love these flowers. Hopefully this time I can keep them alive for longer than 2 months!



Thanks for the mini shoot!

9 months and counting...

He is growing up! Caleb and I went to the park last week when it was 70 degrees out - weather has changed now - back to the 30s and 40s. We had a great time in the warm weather, and Caleb had an awesome time with his cheerios. Everyday I watch him grow I am amazed at just how smart he really is. He is such a good baby - or shall I say boy! :) I am enjoying every bit of my winter down season for photography. Now I get to take all the pictures I want of him - and he helps me keep up on my photography technique. Ahh... I cherish this time.

P.S. I am working on color blocks if you can't tell :)

















Look at the little remnants of cheerios all around his mouth. So cute!



"Mom, can I please have some more cardboard?" - "No, son, we are trying to increase your fiber intake but that is not the what we were talking about."
