Ok, so as I said before Jacob just wouldn't cooperate with me when I tried to shoot him the first time.  So, we tried again....

try, try again and you shall succeed!  And succeed we did!  It may have taken 5 hours, but oh what we got was amazing.

Amanda is such a lucky gal...she knows not one, but two great photographers!  Bekha Bowman and myself got together with Amanda to do one big photo shoot!  I know Bekah through my Knowing Mom's group, which you've heard me talk about.  Love that group! And then we are in a group called PUG, Photographers User Group.  That's a good group of people too!

So, I know Bekha, but I didn't really know her, but this past Saturday she joined Amanda, Jacob and I for a shoot.  I loved getting to know her even more.

I feel a friendship blossoming in the works!

Jacob was such a perfect little baby.  He ate, he pooped (on several props!) he SLEPT!  I can't wait to do another baby shoot.

Ok, you hear that all.  Someone needs to have a baby!  I'm not, repeat not having another one!!

I wish I could Bekha's pictures side by side with mine so you all could see the difference.  Even though our shutters were going off at the same time the pictures are SO different!  I just love that people can be so creative and so different at the same time.

Time for the good stuff! Oh, I had so many that I edited. Amanda your in luck! (they're not all on this blog though!)


We had the luck to have daddy Scott for the first 20min before he had to leave, but managed to capture some fun ones with his hands!



After that is was down to nursing and off to sleep!



Have I mentioned how much I love my backyard!  18 trees equals really cool woodsy feel!  (Especially when they haven't been maintained in about a year to do a siding/window project going on!)






I also love baskets and hats!










Overall we had such an amazing day so amazing that I forgot to end our session with prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you so much for such a precious little boy.  May you bless Jacob, his sisters, mother and father.  Thanks for giving Bekha such an awesome gift so that our talents bring us together as friends.  Lord keep watch over the grandparents of Jacob for safe travels and safe moving.  You're timing has been amazing in this wonderful story.
In your name, Amen

{baby bumblebee is here!}

A few weeks ago I took Amanda and Scott's family pictures with their two beautiful girls and baby bumblebee in her precious belly!  Well, baby bumblebee is HERE!  His name is Jacob, which by the way I love!  He was born August 26th in the wee hours of the morning!  He's so cute, and it's so hard to believe that my kids were that small and smaller!  It just doesn't seem possible!  The time goes way to fast.

Oh, yeah this is about Amanda!  

We had our last Bible study on Wednesday so afterward we took a few shots.  He was great for the first part and then woke up and he just didn't want to go back to sleep....

try, try again.  Saturday morning.  Hopefully I'll get a few more good shots. 

I'm rambling and all you want to see is the pictures.

So here they are...

not yet...

now, you think....should I put them here in this spot?

Ok fine!






























The stinker would only hold his head one way, no matter what we did!  It just went!
