Two years later…

This little fella is very near and dear to my heart!  His mama and him were two of my very first clients and I have been lucky enough to see their family grow both in age and in numbers!  Just this past year, they were blessed in welcoming their second baby boy into the family and I was there to witness their AMAZING home birth.  with their first bambino just recently celebrating his second birthday I wanted to take them on a trip down memory lane.  Thank you “S” family from the bottom of my heart!  Trey’s newborn session was SUCH a great experience and hands down, it gave me the confidence that I needed when I was thinking of turning this hobby of mine into a career!  Still some of my all time FAVES.

Okay people, this is why I love this girl!  She is fearless!  Now don’t go judging, this shot was a done as a gift to her hubby whom completely gets her style and humor.  When she pitched me this idea my jaw dropped as I gasped {under my breath of course}.  I was truly petrified at this shoot, not only because guns of any kind scare the bejeezus out of me but also I thought “how the heck am I gonna pull this off?”  Well I actually LOVE how this turned out for them… maybe not the maternity shot to try and sell the rest of my clients, but for them – I love it!  And for those of you that know this family – I am sure you got a kick out of it when it showed up on her facebook page:)  Way to rock those 5 inch heals mama!

A few short weeks later I was there for the home birth of baby #2.  I must admit, I was TERRIFIED {hopefully it didn’t show}  I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I am so glad I was there to experience a true miracle!  I was able to get there right in time.  When I left to go home I felt like I had drank about 60 red bulls – what an experience!  I can’t even begin to express the courage, love and determination of this entire family to make this happen ~ especially you mama!  whew!  I get butterflies again just thinking about it.

Then a few days later I returned to meet little “B” again for his newborn session.  What a handsome fella he was, and boy does he look like his big brother!
