A quick teaser! They had barely even left my house before I started editing this one. I’m pretty excited I got this pose.
Check out this amazing coffee mug my friend just sent me for my birthday. It combines some of my favorite things: camera lenses and coffee! (please excuse the poor quality of picture, it’s from the iPad). Oh and what’s that behind my new mug? Oh that’s my Keurig Vue (from my amazing husband). Making coffee drinking THAT much better. It makes lattes too.
Too bad I need to stay decaffeinated for about 6 or so more months (until I stop breast feeding my little guy). I’m waiting for the Vue to come out with as many non-caffeine options as the k-cups (because we couldn’t make a new system that would work with the old cups… that’s just silly). I’m in desperate need of the cider and 3 kinds of hot cocoa. My next vue cup purchase is the Sleepytime Tea because the sample the machine came with was delicious. OK it’s a tie between that and the Chai latte.
Hey! Fun Fact. I was just looking up the caffeine amount in chai since it’s black tea and I learned that not only does it only have 40mg compared to the 120mg in coffee, but it has a calming effect that allows the caffeine to be absorbed slowly to avoid the “shock” that coffee gives you. Awesome. I knew I loved Chai for so many reasons…
On the photography front, I have the Digital Files of my first two newborns ready to go!
I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. I get so excited everytime I think about booking a new session, helping someone design a wall display of prints or making lables for my Digital Copies. It just makes me glow thinking that I can do this and that it is actually happening! It’s like I had a crush on this profession for so long, and it’s finally asking me out. Hah! (I love metaphors, you’ll find that I use them a lot).
I’ve got another newborn session coming up, but for now, I’ll show off just a few more of Grayson!
I LOVE these lips.
I have a new play list I’ve been playing non-stop recently. I call it Jesse’s Dance Mix. It’s basically the latest hits like Payphone by Maroon 5 and Fine By Me by Andy Grammer. Blown Away by Carrie Underwood is one of my new favorites too.
Well Jesse is trying to type for me so I’d better wrap this up!
Leave Some Love,
The newest addition to our family, my nephew Grayson! I had the pleasure of spending a lot of extra time with him on our short trip up to Maryland. We found out that he didn’t really care to be naked. We also found out that it’s dryer to keep his diaper on. (I got a few pee spots on me throughout the day). I also couldn’t help having a few fun pictures of him and Jesse together at the end of the session.
Daddy’s Tattoo made for such a beautiful photo:
And Mommy’s a bookworm, so we made her proud with this sweet pose:
And here’s a fun one I took after my earlier photo shoot with Jeni.
Now it’s off to bed. I can’t wait to keep editing these in the morning.
Editing Tunes: I have a spotify playlist for when Jesse is napping or in bed and I need to keep it quiet. It’s called Nap Time. Similar to my Colbie pandora, but this also has some Toby Lightman added to the mix, along with Colbie, Michael Buble, Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson.
