oh baby james…oh how i want to keep little baby james! it’s been 8 month since i took this

look at him now! he is quite possibly the sweetest, happiest, hammiest little guy to date! did i mention he is handsome to boot!?

Just a sneak peek….more to come Mom!

last time i shot this little guy was about this time last year….he was just learning to sit then and now you can’t keep him put! he is such a sweet little boy and apparently we need to buy him a basket full of wishies!

and every so often there is an outtake that i just HAVE to share

thank you guys for braving the cold!

it sure is a good thing that we got these shots in when we did…

little baby {a} was born just short of 2 weeks ago.

she sure is a cutie…but boy did she give us a run for our money! itty bitty cat naps here and there. so we changed up the hats a bit.

its about all she would let us do. and then this would happen.

WIDE AWAKE! Didn’t she know it was 10 o’clock at night!? and we waited…and waited some more..and then THIS happened….

JUST what we were waiting for! so we just kept shooting!

and we made her wear more hats….

and then somehow, by some miracle you get one of these…

and it makes me love what i do even more than i did before.

we finally got this shoot in! the rain stayed away for a whole sunday afternoon and we hit the farm.

if you are a mother, father, granparent, heck if you just know a child, you can only begin to understand what this family is going through.

A designer, photographer and friend of Prop Insanity has lost her little boy today to pneumonia caused by the H1N1 virus. My heart breaks as i attempt to get through this post.

please read about little Nate here. and if at all possible, please donate, even a single dollar to help raise funds for Nate, his family and his foundation.

we headed into the greens and yellows of the “farm” this weekend to capture the love of this beautiful family. we walked, we laughed and we walked some more.

thank you guys for a great “not-quite-fall” session.

here’s a little sneak peek. your portfolio will be coming over soon!

we lost our Pop this past weekend. he had been battling an infection that he beat but left him weak and in and out of rehab facilities and hospitals for the last 6 weeks. we said our final goodbyes with family and friends yesterday. it will be so hard to go on without him. how strange it will be on holidays and birthdays to not hear Pop’s stories, his whistle or his silly songs.

we agreed that it be necessary for the “big” girls to come for only a few minutes to say their own goodbye’s to “Poppy”. they made cards for him to take to heaven and they blew kisses big enough to carry him the whole way. And then my niece, as she always does, said somethings that made us laugh when we needed it most.

aly: ”did you see poppy”

kelly: “yes i did. did you see poppy?”

aly: “yes i did. he is the King now”

where does she come up with these things!

as we stood over the casket in prayer and the girls added their handmade works of love to the casket, we hear this:

my sis: “ok girls. its time to let poppy go to heaven now”

aly: “this….(arms raised) this is heaven? (turns to the room full of friends and family in mourning) all of this is heaven?”

and we laughed some more.

remember the good times. laugh at the memories, it helps to stop the crying.

we love you Pop! we miss you more than words can say.
