I know I’ve been slacking on the blog posts lately. So sorry! My little boy has been in and out of the hospital these past few weeks and it has been a stressful time. Hopefully I can get back on schedule with this blog really soon.

I met up with Lauren and Matt a couple of weeks ago at Matt’s family farm for their engagement session. It was the perfect location for them to have their pictures done! Gorgeous light, gorgeous scenery, and a gorgeous couple! What more could a girl ask for? These two are high school sweethearts. How awesome is that?! And they were both in a wedding that I shot about 2 years ago.

Anyway, on to the images. I am totally in love with every single one of these shots!! Thanks again Lauren and Matt for such a wonderful session. I can not wait for the wedding!

Chelsea and Kirby were such troopers today! It was so cold, wet, and dreary but they fought it out with me and we managed to get some awesome images. My fingers were numb by the end of the session and I could barely push the shutter button!

I get this question a lot when clients are preparing for their photo session. I offer some suggestions on the faq section of my website but I thought it would be way more helpful to show you some pictures of what I mean.

I realize I have been MIA this last month or so, but for good reason! This post has been a long time in the making. Every time I sit down to write it’s feeding time again!

So, we were totally not expecting our little man to make his arrival almost 2 weeks early but he arrived on October 14 (my sis’ birthday!). I had been having pretty bad swelling in my feet and legs the last couple months of my pregnancy but the doctor said it was nothing to worry about. Then on the night before Hudson’s birth the swelling seemed to be a little worse and I had a headache (signs of preeclampsia). I was worried so I made my hubby drive me to Wal-Mart to take my blood pressure. It was extremely high so we booked it to the hospital! They said I’d have to stay the night for observation but it still never crossed our minds that our little buddy would be coming so soon. The next day I woke up with blurred vision and was still having really high blood pressure so my doctor made the decision that I would have to have a c-section. I burst into tears right then. It seriously never crossed my mind that I would have to have a c-section. Those childbirth classes were useless! So Hudson was delivered at 9:19 that morning. I ended up having to stay in the hospital for an entire week because my blood pressure refused to go down. It was a stressful time let me tell ya!

Then to top it off once we got Hudson home he started to have problems keeping down his feedings. It turns out he had a condition called pyloric stenosis. It’s where the muscle at the bottom of the stomach is too thick so food can’t pass through to be digested. The food had no where to go but back out! Poor guy! The only way to fix the condition is with surgery. So after only 3 short weeks of life Hudson had his first (and hopefully only!) surgery. He made it through ok and is now doing great!!

Now what you’ve all been waiting for! Isn’t he just the cutest little baby you have ever seen? I think so!!

And my absolute fave! That sweet little grin gets me every time!

If you want to see some more pics go on over to Raye Law’s blog. She took some family pics for us shortly after we got home from the hospital.

Hey blog readers! I will be starting my maternity leave this weekend and will be hopefully starting sessions back up again mid November after the little guy is born. I’m just getting too uncomfortable to continue shooting. You should see the size of my feet! Let me know if you are interested in booking for when I return. I am already anxious to get back to shooting!
