The Brodster

Yup I am sticking with that nickname. Here are just a few more from his 7 month shoot.




These two pictures just cracked me up when I took them. He has a "Hungry Eyes" look going on here.



But then he is all, "Girl you know I am just playin', get over here"

Six Months Sneek Peak

My nephew Brody is six months already (ok he is really seven months but let's keep that between us) I cannot get over how fast babies grow up, it's in a blink.

He is so good for the camera too, lets hope he doesn't grow out of that as fast as he is growing up. I need a willing model in my family cause my boys are so over it.

I promised his mom a sneak peek tonight and I literally had time to edit one. Expect to see more tomorrow...if I can narrow them down. There were way to many cute ones!


I was so happy to be able to take these using God's light too, sometimes setting up the lights can be such a pain.



Does it count as two sneak peeks if I add the b/w conversion?? ;)

Drive-by Disney and a random fish..

I feel like I have to put my Disney pictures up and out of the way so I can post the sneak peek pictures of my nephew tomorrow. So even though I think they are not very good here they are, just snapped as we were walking through the parade. We didn't really have time to stop and watch it all but Keaton loved seeing the characters.









And a few snaps of Blaze at the convention, I honestly think this might be the first time I have ever used this camera's on board flash.







And this is a completely random picture but I just found it. This was taken on Easter at James sisters house. All the boys were riding their bikes and Blaze thought he wasn't as good of a rider as everyone else (just needs to practice more). He was sitting on the slide, how sad does he look?


At least the picture cracked him up :)

Vacation all I ever wanted..

Ok not really a vacation, more like a weekend getaway. I just really like this song.
We went to Orlando because James and Blaze really wanted to meet Leonard Nimoy (Spock for the non-nerd crowd) while they still could. Which they did and Blaze informed him, "You're my biggest fan" to which he laughed and replied he was.

I have come to realize though that when it comes to family/personal stuff I am a very lazy photographer. I would much rather enjoy than capture. It was a pretty busy weekend but we managed to go to Disney and surprise the kids...and I literally took 5 pictures. Seriously that's it. And they were literally just snaps as we were walking through the parade, not even of my kids.

I think it was too much of a pain to get my big camera out and then keep putting it back cause I didn't know if there was water on rides. It was taking away from my fun so I just put it away. I just need a nice p&s...Mother's Day hint!!

Anyway I will show my Disney/Convention snaps on my next blog but for now here are some random pictures of the kids in the hotel room.





Blaze requested I take a picture of his Sonic:


And then a picture of him with his Sonic:

2nd Times a Charm

No drama from his mama at Keaton's 2nd haircut. I didn't shed a tear, in fact I think my Keats looks insanely adorably. Lol, I meant adorable but I really like the way adorably looks so I am keeping it. Mmmhmm.

Taken a couple of weeks ago to show how shaggy the hair had gotten:


And a random snapshot from a couple of weeks ago. I just imagine him going. "Awww shucks here" Yes I narrate my children for fun.


And my cleaned up Keats:






I really liked this picture but unfortunately he slipped into the shadows, argh!


But he is still adorably, I am copyrighting that word ;)

Make it Work

Timm Gunn...Project Runway anyone?? I love that show. The amount of reality shows I watch it redunkulous, I blame DVR.

Anyways...I am sure a lot of you remember my nephew Brody (how could you forget this adorableness. Just in case you did though:


He is six months old now! I have not got to do the official 6 month pictures yet but they are coming soon.

I did do a semi-impromptu "shoot" though because they needed a recent picture for church. This is what I like to call ghetto fab. I only had my flash and no backdrops. So we grabbed this blanket and have I mentioned how much I love photoshop. The clone tool was great for taking wrinkles out.



And because I know how much his momma loves his eyes, the color version (though I am partial to b/w):


What can I say even my 15 minute snapshots look better than Wally Worlds ;)

I can't wait to do the real six month pictures with the full setup, six months is such a great age.

Keaton Withdrawal

It's a real thing. Several hours away from the kiddo I miss him like crazy. His kisses, the goofy way he dances, even the way he screams "Nooo!" and runs crying out of a room when he doesn't get what he wants. Something only a mother could love (and secretly ...ok not so secretly...laugh at)

It looks like it's about time for a haircut again, I wonder if I will cry uncontrollably again lol.
