I had a session today with almost-14-month-old Reily and what a doll she is! She has the biggest blue eyes. I had such a great time watching her explore today and being such a trooper while we got her all dressed up. As promised, here’s a little sneak peek for you- the color and black/white version of one of the “princess” shots!![]()
I had the honor of having two photo sessions with two AWESOME families today! This morning I met with my friend Mandy and her ADORABLE almost-9-month-old Gracie. We had a blast chasing them around and taking pictures despite the messy rain outside.
This afternoon I ventured out into the rain once again to meet the Johnson family at the gardens to do their family pictures. Despite the fact that it looked like there was no end in sight for the rain…. it cleared up just in time for us to do pictures! How lucky were we??? And I’m so glad it did…. these guys are the cutest! They were such troopers letting me pose them and give them silly ideas to do.
Thanks guys! I had a blast!
Here are a couple of sneak peeks for you….
Love it!
Wow!! I am so so so excited!! You are so good at capturing her little expressions!!! How do you do it?!!! It looks like I could just reach out and kiss her– LOL!! I am soooo impressed, and can’t wait to see the rest!!!
Today was the big day. Hannah’s very first haircut! We took her to Angel Hair in Hoover and they were just so nice and the lady that did her hair was so good with Hannah. And I must say- I’m very proud of Hannah, too! She sat down in her “Jeep” and didn’t really make a peep the entire time other than saying “Hey!” and waving to people as the passed. What a big girl!
Afterwards, we went to dinner with dad and then on to a shopping spree at Toys-r-Us! Well, kinda anyway. She got a new Dora chair (at first I thought I was going to have to carry her out still sitting in it! She would not get out of it, silly girl!) and a book and also some new bibs and a snack trap. Woo hoo!
Here are a few pictures from today….
We kept a small locket of her hair as well to keep in her baby book![]()
Hannah looks so sweet in these pics. Too bad Daddy didn’t get a haircut too!
Hannah loooves to play with the refrigerator magnets now (well, when she’s not throwing them in the trash can which is her OTHER favorite thing to do!) I had to catch her “in action” as she played and admired her magnet artwork. She’s just so funny! Here are a few I snapped today….
Let me step back to admire my work for a moment….
CatCat tries to watch from a safe distance… notice Hannah standing up in the background with her sippy still attached to her mouth! Silly girl!![]()

Those are the cutest pictures of that baby. “Uh-Oh” is my favorite!
Hannah and I spent the weekend in Enterprise. I broke down and bought her a “Dora” umbrella Friday night while she and I were at Target but of course- I did have two motives. One being that perhaps it would cause it to actually rain since we have had ZERO rain and obviously my rain dances have not been working. Second motive is that our photo board weekly challenge is Umbrella! I couldn’t miss the umbrella- what can I say? The girl has an eye for Dora! All throughout the store she’d point and say “Doh-uh! Doh-uh!” hence the reason we ended up with the umbrella. I would have completely missed it if it wasn’t for the Dora radar that has been implanted into Hannah.
Megan helped me make a couple of tutus and she decided that SHE wanted to have funky tutu pictures so we packed up and went out today before we came back to B’ham. Here’s a few of our “funky” shots. She’s such a ham.![]()
And here is Hannah sportin’ the Dora umbrella
Ok, it’s too heavy- you carry it Grandma Barbara!
