The Nationals!!!!!

As I have mentioned before, my son, Griffin is involved in travel baseball. This is his 3rd year and boy does it get more serious every year! We had a tournament in Blackshear, GA on Saturday so I took my camera to record one of their games.

We have rockin new uniforms and my window for getting photographs with white pants was that very first game! I am always voting for completely black uniforms! So much easier to clean - you could wear them dirty and no one would notice!

Sid, our coach, always leads the Lord's Prayer before each game.

My own little Babe Ruth!

Can't you just eat him up?!!!

Griffin plays catcher and is the best our league has - no lie!!!!

See what I mean about the white pants?



I would pay a million bucks to keep this smile in my pocket every day!

I love shooting through the fence - so baseball feeling!

I love getting this kind of shot at Griff's sporting games!

Thrift/O'Brien Wedding

Matt & Micah are official!!! This couple was so sweet and so very tall! Beautiful people - I would say Barbie and Ken, but he is dark headed, so maybe Barbie and Ken's best friend, Ben?!!!

The ceremony was held at Glyndale Baptist in Brunswick, GA and the reception was at Oak Grove Island. Thanks Matt and Micah - we wish you the best in your marriage and in your lives together!!!

Macy Girl!

This is Macy and she is the daughter of Tiffany - one of my good buddies at the recreation department.  My son is completely immersed into sports so we came to know each other very well!  And yes, these were taken at Christmas time - but you may get some more of this kind in the next few weeks!  The mama claws come out when I don't blog my babies!  And we were so swamped I didn't get to blog much during the Holiday Season.

Anyway - you guys need to leave me some comments to tell me how proud you are that I have started blogging again.  I need to know someone is listening to my ramblings!!!!

One of my fav ways to photograph young siblings! Macy's bros - Grant & Cameron

 

He was in the middle of eating his bribe - but it worked for us!!!!

Can I get some rolls with my mash taters?

My Baby Grace turns 8 today!!!!

Grace Elizabeth Adams - Born February 5, 2001

Her name origin:  Grace was a spiritual name we chose when we found out we were pregnant again.  Our family was going through a difficult time and we just felt God's Grace on our lives by giving us another child!  We had something to look forward to and it brought us great joy and hope to plan for her!  Elizabeth comes from my maternal grandmother who passed away before Grace was born.  I was really close to her and wanted her name to be carried on.

She was an easy pregnancy and an easy delivery!  I was only in labor for around 5-6 hours - with an epidural.  And she came so quick and unexpected the nurses almost delivered her.

All about Grace:

Fav color:  Red

Fav toy: any stuffed animal around!

Fav show:  Little House on the Prairie 

Style:  Anything girlie - but comfortable (love that about her!)

Fav food:  Pizza and tacos - and, of course, anything sweet! (she has this love affair with food - so much like her mama!)

Grace is so much like me  - it is scary!  She is not really into sports or athletics but she loves to do anything crafty.  She is now cross stitching and got her first sewing machine from her Nana for Christmas.  She loves to watch the cooking channel and almost always helps me cook dinner.  She is a love bug that will just snuggle with you all day!  Grace is one of those children that could sit in your lap for hours.  If you need some love - she is the one to give it to you.  Grace is also quick witted.  I love her humor and she can get my jokes so much quicker than my other children.  Maybe because we are so alike!!!!

This was taken before school this morning so you guys could see what she looked on her actual birthday!

Happy Birthday, We love ya Graceful!!!!! 

Mamacita

Kristie is some good lookin first time mom, huh? If only I could have looked like this when I was with child! I wouldn't have stopped at 3! Well, maybe I still would have because my husband took matters into his own hands after our last 2 were unplanned sweet surprises!!!

Kristie works for my good buddies at Family Heath Chiropractic - Dr. Dave & Jenni! Thanks, Kristie for letting us experiment with some new techniques. I believe they were a great success!

Baby Expressions

Babies will bless you with a 100 different expressions in a single minute if you are paying attention. It is such a fun and joyous thing to edit through them! Most times we don't see them with the naked eye or they come and go so quickly that we forget they were even there.

When my moms and dads come to view their photos we play a slide show with music and it is projected on the wall. (By the way, this is the best way to view your photos for the first time! It is an experience you will never forget). So, when they are viewing their sweet lumps of sugar coupled with a great Celine Dionne ballad - the crying is a sure thing - yes, even my dads! While the love of your baby will bring you to tears, he/she also brings you much laughter and joy. So I throw in the "baby expressions" photos to bring laughter to their hearts and remind us all why God says that "children are a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3)"!

I probably enjoy the slide show experience more than the parents! This little boy is one of our latest 3month sessions.
Mom & Baby shot is always a must for me!

This expression is one of my favs!


He was talking to me here

Mary and her violin

Boy do we love musicians and artists at our studio! I believe it is partly because they know what they want and they are up for anything we want! This is Mary Pipkin and she is AMAZING on the violin. If you guys ever hear of her playing anywhere - you have to go see her. We had a lot of fun with Mary and even got some interesting shots of her in action!






Stay tuned - we will be photographing a rap artist in the coming weeks!
