Precious Baby

 Children are a blessing from God himself, and motherhood is an honor.  I am reminded of these two truths when I come in contact with mothers (esp. new mothers), and their precious children.  To see the love between a mother and their child is one thing, but to be invited into their homes and lives to capture that love is something entirely different and a huge blessing! 

      I met this family through a friend.  The mother and father were both troopers.  They didn't seem anxious at all when I picked up their newborn and went outside.  They were so willing and very helpful.  They also have a precious three-year-old who is a very protective older brother.  He made sure as soon as I got there that I wasn't allowed to touch his little brother. :)  However, once the newness wore off he was much more willing and even told me that I could take pictures in his bedroom if I wanted. 

      We had such a great time, and the newborn did amazing!  I mean, seriously, he stayed asleep almost the entire time allowing me the freedom to move him and place him just like I wanted.  It went so well, and I am excited to see this lovely family again.  Truth is, newborns are never EASY, but when you have a family that is this trusting and willing, it makes the shooting process much more enjoyable.  Congratulations to the Laymons, and may there be many more children in your future. 

What do you do when you have three boys? Play

 Recently, I had the privilege of shooting this beautiful family.  Their outsides are definitely beautiful, but the love in their home and the freedom they showcase to others is overwhelming!  I met both parents in college, and this was the first time I was blessed to meet their three (yes THREE) boys! I hope they have a ton more because it is so obvious that these boys are loved.  The mother of this family may be rolling her eyes at me right now.   

I had the most amazing time shooting this family.  We had a blast, and they were definitely not afraid to let their boys play.  This made the shoot much more entertaining!  The mother of this family definitely has her hands full, but she is so hospitable and kind.  She welcomed me and my assistant into her home, and even took the time to show me around her new home! 

Her boys adore her!  It is so easy to see that they love their momma!  The father of this family is too funny.  He definitely is training his little boys to be men one day.  His boys seemed to be afraid of little, and they were so curious about everything.  (Except, once they knew what I was there for it seemed as if they were not all that interested in sitting still so that I could take their picture.)  So what do you do when children want to play... you let them play! 


Play pictures make the best memories anyways!
