Seriously, where has the time gone?! This post is
way overdue and it's a
long one (with little verbage).
Moving, packing, unpacking, weeding, caring for Carver, Cappy and Kyle has kept me busy and I'm still unpacking since we moved into our new home 3 weeks ago! This may be a stretch but, I think I get the gist of how a day in the life of farmer's wife must be, and it's incredibly rewarding and hard work!
The end of June was fun and busy. Carver started walking, at 14 1/2 months old. I was thrilled and so tired of hearing "Is Carver walking yet?", now I'm hearing "Is Carver talking yet?". Yes he is...if 'Da-da, ca-ca, and Kala-kalaka', count.
We went to a high school graduation party for my nephew, Mike.
On June 29th I booked two portrait sessions. One family / children / engagement session, and a belly session in the evening! It was such a fun time!
My girlfriend Laurie and her sister Jenny, hired me to photograph their whole family as a 40th wedding anniversary gift to their parents. I also photographed Laurie & Joe's two gorgeous little girls and did a quick little engagement shoot for Jenny & Whit.
Jenny and Whit were a riot! It helps when your subjects are thespians!
My 'Blooming Belly' session was with Linda, a fellow Birth Center mother. She wanted to try and support a TBC mom before looking for other photographers and found me through The Birth Center's online breastfeeding support group. Linda you rock!! Thank you so much for your support. I really need to get my website up and running. Portrait sessions just don't fall out of the sky, like yours! I loved our session and you, Brianna and Jerry were as friendly and outgoing as they come. As Linda put it, some of the photos were rated NC-17, but I'll only post the PG one's here... Linda at 35 weeks gestation.
On the Fourth of July we celebrated Gammy's 85th birthday!
The next day was Izzy's first birthday party! Izzy is the super adorable daughter of Kevin and Christel. I used to work with Kevin, who is an incredibly talented furniture maker at
Malvern Design Workshop.
Caitlin flew up from her home in South Carolina during the Fourth of July holiday weekend. It was so nice to catch up with her and the fam for a minute before she left.
Carver just loved
Gillian's fountain! So much in fact that I went out that same day and purchased the
exact same one for our back yard! We love it!
Our wonderful Wednesday playgroup had their July birthday party at Jen and Ian's. Happy First Birthday to Lukas and Charlie!
My girlfriend Laura turned 30! Welcome to the club Mama! BFF Lauren hosted a
purse party and it was Oh so fun!
Cortney was our rep and so sweet and was such a help when trying to pick out fabric. Thanks chica! I can't wait to see how mine turned out AND to finally ditch my diaper bag!!
Happy 30th Laura!!
Jumping from 30 to 50, Kyle's Aunt Ellen celebrated hers this past July. We had so much fun at her party and the food and drinks were fabulous! Especially the desserts.
We set up the tripod to take a shot of all of us for a 'We'll Miss You' photo album that my girlfriend, Amy, put together for Laura, Scott and Brooke. They moved to Greenville, SC last week :(
My mini orange tree sprouted dozens of the most fragrant blossoms you'll ever smell.
So there you have it. That's just a taste of July, Carver's nap time is coming to an end, and I've got piles of laundry to start. This weekend I'm shooting a wedding with Jeremy. Looking forward to it too!
