Rett’s first camping trip

We had a great time camping…it was a little hot though. I’m hoping November isn’t too cold and we can do it again before winter. Rett seemed to enjoy himself until about 1:00am, at which he decided to wake up about once an hour. The boys enjoyed the lake – I don’t do lake water....

meg duerksen - well…maybe camping isn’t so scary after all.
i fear it.
we use to go with friends once a year and it would ALWAYS rain no matter when we went. it was miserable. i think we should try again…but i really am scared.
but i see that you survived. and it doesn’t always rain.

your boys are so cute! full of life!

Denise - FUN!!! ADORABLE!!!

Lauren - Glad we had another memorable camping trip. Hope we get to again next year. Love you guys!

bopha - your boys are so adorable, everett is getting so big, and i mean big :)

Carrie Sowell - You’re such a brave mom! Maybe that’s why God didn’t load me down with boys. I don’t think I could ever suck it up and go camping! I’m a “hotel” girl!! It looks like they had fun though and oh, what memories you’re making with them!

The sleeping for 12 hours would be my favorite part too!!

Jeannette Swan - Priceless! I’m so jealous of your awesome pictures – my goal – someday – to take pictures 1/2 as good as yours!

Angie Brooks - We want to go camping with you guys…how much fun! I can’t get over Everett… He reminds me of Hudson. So cute.

Kale {3 weeks}

While looking at this session I told Chris it is a good thing we want more kids. I think I am going to have to quit photographing newborns when our family is complete – all these babies are too cute. This little guy quietly went back and forth between being awake and sleeping. Despite how...

Jeannette Swan - I need to stop looking at the newborn picks – it makes me really want another one – but I have to remind myself – they grow up!! This one is precious.

Happy Friday!

Yeah…the work week is over and the weekend is beginning. Corbett and Hudson both went camping by the time they were 6 months old, so this weekend we are introducing Everett to the wonderful world of tent sleeping, campfires and the quietness of nature (well not that quiet considering Corb and Hud will be there...

melanie - I’m sure when he’s older he’ll love that you always have a camera ready to capture those faces! Enjoy your weekend together!

denise lopez - FUNNY–CUTE–ADORABLE! you know this picture says to me–we are going camping??? Just kidding. What a fun family you are. While you are camping in the great outdoors, I will be camping in the excursion with my four kiddos for our 8 hour trip to Jackson this afternoon! By the time my kids were all 6 months they had experienced at least an 8 hour road trip one way! Have fun!

Jeannette Swan - How adorable!!! We are not campers, but last weekend Kelly bought a tent and he and the boys put it up in the backyard and slept out there 2 nights in a row – they loved it!!

DIY {misc. projects}

My photography schedule has been so slammed lately I haven’t been able to post many fun projects…so I combined some I previously saw online. They are in my “to make” file….which probably won’t happen until Nov. when things slow down. I am thinking of trying to do a post like this every so often, but...

Lauren - I did the fabric decals for Addy’s door. It turned out really well. I just need to revamp my design. It was super easy too.

sheridan - I love it! DIY is awesome and I would love more! I have files on my computer of diy stuff, crafts?projects w/ my boys, and recipes that I keep adding to in hopes of one day starting to make a dint in them. Now I’ll have more to add thanks to you!

Jessica Schaffner - Please post more stuff like this! I will be making a lot of christmas gifts this year and I love these kind of ideas!

meg duerksen - my favorite was the candle holders! gorgeous.
i know exactly what you mean about giving hand made gifts.
it has to be for just the right person you know? you really put yourself out there if you give something hand made.
these are all very fun projects!

Denise - you aren’t too out there for me–please feel free to make me whatever you want for Christmas! (o: Had fun eating lunch with you today–let’s do that again!

melanie - I love it when you make stuff for your friends! I just wish I were organized, crafty, and talented enough to be able to return the favor!

Ang - I love this post. The wall decals are my favorite.

Jamie - My goal this Christmas is to do everything handmade/homemade, so all these ideas are perfect. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming!

Leanne - Yes! I love stuff like this!!!!

Nicholas {a couple of weeks}

Another handsome baby boy! This little guy was so content and peaceful for the whole session…even with big sisters smothering him in kisses. Funny how hard it is to get big brothers to kiss on babies and how easy it is to get big sisters to do it….
