Guess who's cute with no pants?

My sweet boy was looking so cute after bath today I had to stick him in front of the camera and snap a few pics.

He was turning 9 months anyways so it was a good excuse!

Notice that he is in a basket… he has gotten so fast I cannot photograph him alone unless I stick him in something! LOL!

Jude's 1st Christmas Pics by me :)

I took many more pics of my little guy this year but these are the ones Ive been able to edit so far. Gosh I love him so and he has way too many pics taken of himself!! LOL! But, when youre this photogenic & your mom's a photographer you just can't get out of it!

I mean, look at that sweet baby!!!!

we revisited Old Baker's Farm for a photoshoot too :)

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!

Jude's First Christmas Tree!

The weekend after Thanksgiving we took Jude to get his first real Christmas Tree at Old Baker's Christmas Tree Farm!

Gosh isn't he the cutest little thing!?

Playing with my momma Rose

Checking out our tree

Silly momma rose wearing my hat!

my daddy loves me so :)

Next year we will be doing the fake tree thing... We had so much fun going to get our tree but it died shortly after we got it home :( Not sure if it is because of the hot weather we have had all winter or maybe we did something wrong? However, it is still decorated and standing in the play room waiting for christmas day which is tomorrow!! :)

StayCation-- McWane Center Fun

We took Jude to the McWane Center last week when daddy was off for a couple days for "staycation".

My soon-to-be sister in-law gave us free tickets so it was nice to do something fun for free :)

I really liked daddy blowing bubbles for me! Guess what's going in our stocking ;)

We loved having daddy home and being able to spend good quality time with him!

Can't wait for the next "staycation" !! :)

The 'Balancing Act'

I know Ive missed tons of posts lately. To be honest life has just gotten away from me. With it being busy season for work, and still learning how to balance a family and working full time, the little blog here has just been abandoned. 

Well, part of my 2013 'changes' are to balance my time a little better. I will now only be shooting 2 sessions a week (hopefully in one day), and only doing "office work" in the evenings when this cutie has gone down for the night. During the days Im not out shooting Ill be doing the wife and mommy stuff. I CANNOT wait and have already implemented my plan starting today :) It has been such a good feeling to love on my baby all day and get my house clean. Ive felt so overwhelmed to get everything done for work but the honest truth it, it'll never ALL be done. Photography has an endless 'to do' list and Im accepting that. So, Ive decided to let that go and quit trying to be wonder woman and just live my life and do my job as it comes. Im sure all of you photogmoms know the strain running a business can put on you. I LOVE my job. But, I LOVE MY FAMILY so much more.

So, if youre a client, expect emails from me at 1am instead of 1pm ;)

Love to you all! Hope you enjoy the pictures ;0)

8 months old. Growing too fast for my own good!
