Beckett Christopher

My beautiful friends keep having beautiful babies, and I love getting to take pictures of them. I love the feel of a house when there's a new baby... It feels sleepy and tucked away from the world, in its own time zone. Christy and Jared had their first son, Gaines, almost two years ago, and last week they welcomed Beckett Christopher into the world! 

Christy and Jared, I love you guys, and I'm so thankful I got to visit and meet your new little man!

 

 
 
 
 

Georgia takes campus

Remember Georgia? The sweet little nugget I took newborn photos for?* She's two years old today! I can't believe it. And in celebration of her 2nd birthday, I thought I'd post some of the photos I took of the whole family a couple weeks ago. Because sadly, these dear friends and neighbors moved to Pittsburg last week. So our game nights and movie nights are temporarily on hold until we're back in the same city. But before they left, they wanted some photos on the UT campus, where they have studied and worked so hard for the last few years. And I also snapped a few photos at their house, to remember the home where Georgia spent her first two years. 

Katie and Thomas, we love you guys and we are SO thankful for the last few years with you so close by! Can't wait for you to show us around Pittsburg :) And happy graduation, Dr. Deetjen! 

*WELL I was going to post a link to her newborn photos, but I can't because I never posted them. Crap. I'll work on that.

Merlin felt left out of the photoshoot, so he posed for us.

Jordan & Christine + 2

I have had the blessing of photographing Jordan and Christine at their engagement, as a married couple, when they were expecting their first child, and now-- with their son, Jude and soon-to-arrive daughter! I'm so thankful for their friendship which has spanned a decade of my life. I love getting to be a small part of their growing family!

Baby Oliver

I took these pictures almost a year ago, and sadly never blogged them! So now, to celebrate his first birthday, here's adorable baby Ollie!

Gaines Douglas

One of my dearest friends had a baby several months ago, and I juuuust happened to have my camera with me when I went to visit her at home. :) He's actually four months old now, and getting more adorable by the day. But from day one-- look at those cheeks!

Becky & Jon

This session was totally worth the thousands of sticker-burrs stuck all over me afterward. 

Ellis May

This little beauty joined us in the world last week, and she's perfect! 

 
 

Welcome!

Once again, with my stomach in my throat, I venture into the blog world.  It's been 2 years since my last blog post on typepad, and it was time for a revamp. Stay tuned for photos of new families, new travels, and a new venture into the land of professional doodling.
