See you soon!!

My world...

For those of you who follow me on facebook, you know how much I LOVE LOVE being a wife and now a mom! This past weekend, Mike's sister got married on St. George Island. We had such an amazing time. Wanted to share a few photos with you...I love these boys with all of me.

Meant to be...

It's true. My husband and I were just talking about this today. In all of our circle of friends...someone knows another in the other because of another. Wow. I think I just confused myself. Ha. And our lives, like little pieces, come together like a puzzle and make this beautiful thing called life. 

Anyway- moving on. I made an orthodontic appointment for a consultation and ended up going through with things that day and so I got to meet some of the staff for impressions and xrays, etc. Super fun staff, I might add!! Here comes Chris bee bopping in....couldn't even tell she was pregnant, but due....like yesterday. One thing lead to another and I got the privilege of booking her bump session AND hello world session.  

Here are some from her rock the bump...and she did just that!! This was approximately 2 weeks!!! before she had her little one!!!

Meet Charlotte....you can call her Charley for short! I LOVE LOVE her "for short" name!! I took my "assistant" with me to her hello world session. When we walked through the door, Chris and Arielle made eye contact and threw arms up for hugs! Chris was "her favorite" at the orthodontic office! So glad I could reunite those two! It made the session that much more fun!!! Charley was all of 6 pounds and 9 ounces...19.5 inches long. And lots of hair!! 

Bring on the BIG bows!!!

Congrats Danny & Chris!!!

the bride:: UnPlUgGeD

So, it's been FOREVER. I have been SO very busy with...LIFE! Mike & I have attended two weddings this month (out of town) and between those and in addition to this unplugged session, I have had a hello world session, a rock the bump session and Carson has had 2 ear infections!! YAY for L-I-F-E! :D


Meet Ciara. Our husbands went to high school together, worked at the same pizza place and now are both police officers. So cute, huh? We got engaged the same year and married within a month of each other. We were all just meant to be. haha. I crack myself up. It must be late!!


The storm clouds watched this entire session and even spit on us a few times!! We BOTH ended up in the lake and both rode home in a towel....in the back of her husband's parent's vehicle....yes, they were up front! Such a good time, so many good laughs!! Here are some highlights!!!

SiStErS fOr LiFe!

I struggle with the idea of having a second child. I just cannot imagine anything topping what Carson has brought to our family. And then I think about how close I am to my sister and hope that Carson will someday have something similar to that relationship...oh, wait...that means I have to have another one! 

Meet Kiersten. The BIG sister! A lot of people prayed for this little miracle long before we would ever meet her! And clearly, God spent a lot of time on her...because she is absolutely gorgeous!

Meet Mackenzie. Kiersten's little sister!

 This one is my favorite!

 And this one runs a close race....

 Her expression here melts me!

I smile because you are my sister...I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it! -Author Unknown

Sweet Miss Kennedy

Meet the Portwood's! I absolutely fell in love with this little family! Kennedy's Hello World session was originally scheduled on a Saturday. I went, set up shop and in rolled an amazing storm! Boo. I tried to play with the settings on my camera, but it didn't matter what I did...it was DARK! I so nervously and apologetically asked if I could come back the next day. Without missing a beat, Sam & Evan agreed. I left everything just like it was and returned Sunday. It was absolutely GORGEOUS outside!

 This picture was Sam's idea...and I LOVE it!

 If UM fans were always like Kennedy...then again, I bleed garnet & gold!

 A diva. She is!

 ...And the best for last! My goodness this picture makes me proud! :)

Kennedy is the first to take part of the "Watch Me Grow" plan. I will be posting details about that soon! :)
