Busy Busy Busy

I feel like I am always busy. I guess that is a good thing though. I have been having so many photo sessions with friends since I have been back in NJ! I started inviting myself over friends' houses with newborns and I even went to Ocean City, NJ for a beach family shoot. I really am having fun capturing memories for my friends. Here are some of my latest...


I promise you that the colors of these photos look much better IRL. For some reason the colors get funky when I upload them to blogger.

Boys will be Boys

I was at the computer one day (which is in my bedroom) and the boys were on my bed. I look over and Jared is "performing surgery" on Josh using his tools. What an imagination huh?

A Visit with Dean

My friend, Kate, came to visit a few weeks ago and I never posted the pictures from that day...so here they are. Dean is 6 months and I will be taking his 6 month portraits very soon. He is just starting to sit up on his own and those pictures are so fun to take because they cannot get away yet!

It looks like they are having a discussion about the stuffed animal.

Of course Josh had to get his kisses in!

Back to Sleep

Well I didn't follow directions this time around. We have been putting Emily on her belly to sleep since the very beginning. They say that babies should be put on their backs to sleep because when they are on their bellies they fall into a deep sleep and "forget" to breathe. She does use a pacifier and I use white noise in the room, both of which prevent SIDS. She has been such a good sleeper from the beginning and I am convinced it is because she is most comfortable on her belly. Fortunately little Miss also prefers to be left alone while sleeping. She does not enjoy sleeping in your arms. This has come in handy since I have two other children to take care of :)

Yes she is still in the pack-n-play in our bedroom and yes I have her dressed in snowman PJ's.

Emily's Stats

I took Emily for her 2 month well visit today and she is weighing in at 10 pounds 1.5 ounces (25th percentile) and she measures 23 inches long (50th percentile). She is still a peanut but you can definitely tell that she is growing because of how different she looks. She is smiling more than ever now and she is beginning to coo. She actually laughed at the boys in the tub 2 nights ago and then again when they were playing basketball last night. I love watching every little milestone as they grow.

How time flies!!!!

I cannot believe our baby girl is 2 months old already!!! She is becomming a much happier baby and making my life a little easier by staying in her bouncy seat for about 5 minutes.

I was able to get ONE shot of her smiling and without her fist in her mouth. Thank goodness it was in focus :)

The rest of the pics looked like this...

Doll Bed

So I opened my big mouth to my mom and told her I was looking for a particular photo prop. She has been on the hunt for it ever since. To be honest with you I can't even remember what I told her I was looking for because there are so many items on my prop list. She was bored on the day I was talking to her about it and that is when the madness began. She has been prop "hunting" ever since. Who knows how many antique stores she has been to. Anyway, she called me while she was at an antique store in Turnersville. I asked her to look for a doll bed and she found one - for $15. Although I would love to have a newborn shot of Emily in the doll bed, I am happy with these shots. This was the day after she had a bad day so it was so nice to see all of those smiles! I love how she sticks out her tongue while smiling. My mom also bought a ladder that I will be using, as a prop, very soon so stay tuned!
