This is why I haven't blogged since March!

April was busy but when May arrived I knew it would be a whirlwind. I am behind on blog posts and will catch up now that summer break has begun! I had a blast these past few weeks with family and friends, weddings, bachelorette parties, showers, and work related fun and more. I am blessed to live such an eventful life with so many people I love! Here are a few casual snapshots of my May.

Now...on to the photo sessions I am behind on!...

Kenna!

Kenna's 1 year young photo shoot and cake smash was a blast. She was in such good spirits despite the intense humidity. The most challenging part for me was trying not to shake as I was laughing and taking her pictures as she destroyed her cake. What a cutie!

 

Landon James

My close friends know it drives me crazy when they don't find out the sex of their baby. But I absolutely love the anticipation when to time draws near and I get the phone call saying "It's a ...."
 I spoke to my friend Becca on the phone just as she was checking into the hospital (her water broke while she was teaching!) She was just giddy with excitement. It was fun to hear. Becca had a smooth labor and delivery and we are all happy to welcome their baby BOY, Landon into the world. Becca and Chris are so in love with their little guy. It is precious to see them so smitten. I was so glad I was able to capture the handsome guy at 1 week young.

Lincoln...one-year-young

Lincoln was born on March 2nd last year. March 2nd is Dr. Suess' birthday, and his mom is a teacher so it was obvious we needed to incorporate the infamous striped red and white hat. Lincoln was interested in everything except me and the camera. He just did his own thing! We ended the session back at their home for a smash the cake session. He thought it was pretty funny to take off the candle and poke the cake, but he refused to eat or smash it, so we helped him out. He gagged on the cake and was furious when his mom sat him in it. I think Chewy, their dog, was a fan of the smash the cake session. We had so much fun that I needed a nap afterwards!

Becca's Beautiful Bump

Becca and Chris are good friends of mine that are expecting their first child around March 6th. I am so excited to find out if it is a boy or girl. I think it is a girl! They are going to be amazing parents. Since my classroom is across the hall from Becca's I have had the joy of watching her belly grow. She has the perfectly round belly.
