Jackson Elliot

Posted: May 24th, 2010 | 4 Comments »

Jackson Elliot is one of the cutest little baby boys I have seen in a long time. Lovely dark hair and sunning eyes. I was so pleased to get to take little Jackson’s pictures when his parents asked me. Jackson is the first born son to a wonderful couple, really dear people, who love their little man even when he didn’t want to take pictures. Jackson was more interested in eating and cuddling with momma. Poor momma just wanted some cute baby photos to remember these very fleeting early baby days. It took a few hours, but we got some keepers.

Enjoy!

I am so pleased to show off some more baby pictures of little Audrey. Can’t believe she’s 6th months now. Audrey is a very sweet, cuddly, and dear baby girl.

My husband and I are overjoyed to be expecting a little one in late October. I just wanted to share with all my readers the very good news! Our little baby is the size of a sweet potato this week. I have made it through the first trimester a little lighter, but the 4th month has been the best one so far. The second trimester is really the best.

Can’t wait to share all the baby photos with you all. This child is going to be very well documented.

Country Lovers

A very lovely local artist named  Kelsi Nakielny did this little portrait of some country lovers back in November 2009. It turns out that it looks a lot like me and my husband Ryan. We got to meet Kelsi while she was doing live art at an A TALE OF show back in February.  Kelsi thought it was so cute that we look a lot like her little drawing she did before she even had met us.

You can check out more of Kelsi’s work over on her Flickr. I think I might just ask her to do a little family portrait of the us soon. I think that would look so cute in our home!

FYI, I am leaving for California for 10 days starting on April 3rd! I am really excited for this trip, because it’s filled with family, and friends, and most wonderfully the wedding of Chloe & John! I can’t wait to come back and share all the photos!

Take care all my lovely readers, and happy Good Friday!
