I Love Blind Photographs!

I love blind photographs!  You know the type of pictures I am taking about...where you hold the camera out and without looking through a view finder or LCD screen you snap away.  I love the photo's that usually come out of those and there is always some really good ones to laugh about!  Luke woke up from a nap the other day and came down stairs and snuggled up to me. My camera happened to be in arms length and I held it out and snap..snap...snap.  I just love how they came out.  The first one is my favorite!  I really like the look on his face it is so peaceful and calm, the exact opposite of his normal behavior when he is up...boys!  The second one he figured out I was taking a picture and he just loves to smile at the camera.  I hardly ever tell him to.  The third one Luke wanted to get mommy in the picture but my 50mm lens was on so I couldn't get any farther out.  I liked the way it turned out:)

First Things First...Engagement Session

Meet the adorable couple Andrea and Jacob!  We shot a super quick mini engagement session one week before their wedding.  When I say quick I mean like 20 minutes...I usually like an hour to two hours to do a session and we were racing against the sun setting. They had a beautiful wedding that I can't wait to share soon. So logically the first thing first to blog before I share their fabulous wedding photos and more details of this adorable couple is a few shots from their engagement session. 

I love these ones in the rose garden, so romantic.

  
 
 
 
  

Selah's First Photo Shoot

Hello Selah!  She is just a week old in these pictures.  Isn't she so beautiful...now I am be a little biased but hey I am allowed.  She is going to be a photo taking pro with a mom who loves taking pictures. I wanted some ones of her in this adorable beanie Camille gave her and some fall ones since she is a fall baby. The beanie is big but my plan is to take a picture in it once a month to show how she is growing. I didn't move her around to much so most of these are close ups to show her precious face.  Luke was around so I through him in for a quick few as well.  What a proud big brother!

 
 

Another cute hat....I love her coming down on her neck.

 
 

Welcome To The World!!!

Welcome the the world Selah Jean!

 

About 1:30 in the morning on Thursday October 22nd I awoke up with contractions and knew our little baby was on his or her way.  So this was the one day I was not ready to have a baby.  My mom was schedule to come in Friday she had been there for the birth of Anyssa and Luke.  She was like a coach and helped my through having them two with out an epidural.  I just had to have her there and was certain the baby would wait:)  Thursday was also the only day we didn't have someone to watch Luke and stay the night with him.  Sadly no kids under 12 where allowed in the delivery and postpartum rooms this year because of the H1N1.  So with these factors Thursday was not a good day....but babies have a mind of their own:) 

 

The labor went pretty fast and intense.  When I was dilated to 7 I decided to try the epidural and I was sure glad I did.  It was great!  What a different experience than the birth of my other two. I am glad I had a chance to experience child labor both ways.  My Doctor was there and he had me help pull her our once her head was out and laid her on me right away which was amazing!   Anyssa was able to be in the delivery room which was really memorable.  At 11:00 am exactly little Selah Jean (pronounced Say-la) was born.  Man where Mike and I surprised we had a girl.  We both where certain it was a boy:)  Ha, Ha, Ha!  Selah is the perfect addition to our family!  I wanted to share some photos of Selah's birthday.  I can't believe she is all ready two weeks old today!   Camille was able to come and take some great pictures for us, thanks a ton!  My mom came in Friday morning early and these are some of hers and a few of them I took in the hospital room.  Enjoy there is allot!
