I cannot wait.......

.....to share all of these with you.
These are THE most photogenic children I have ever photographed.
Maybe it's because they are my cousins...... :)

More to come!

And because we took Maggie for her first pumpkin patch visit and who doesn't want to see a picture of that?!?! :)

Welcome to the World, Owen Thomas Sneed!

I am way to young to be a grandmother, but I sure feel like one.....sort of....Andy & Emily were my first session ever. I shot their engagement session in June of 2006. Now they are parents! I still can't really believe it.
Owen Thomas came a little early, but he's doing just fine-as are the new parents!

Owen was 2 weeks old when I went to visit them. He's so tiny!

I told Andy he could probably fit in his shirt pocket!

According to the fabulous Baby Countdown Clock, Owen will be here in 16 days, 10 hours, and 26 minutes. I guess Andy & Emily forgot to tell him that!

This kid is SO Andy Sneed's child! He had the funniest expressions.
I think this is the, "If I cover my face, they won't see me, and that crazy camera woman will stop taking pictures!" look. :)

Emily look so natural and relaxed with her sweet baby.

Owen's room is the most bright and cheerful nursery I have ever seen. I love it!

Em's mom & sister were visiting. I don't think Owen gets nearly enough attention, do you?!

Owen, I am so honored to have been your first photographer visitor! Welcome to the world; I know your Mommy & Daddy are going to take great care of you.
Enjoy your very first slideshow!
And for those of you who know Andy Sneed, you will appreciate why there is a shoe next to his child in the slideshow! :)

New Favorite

I am working on Little Owen's pictures, but I LOVE this one so much I wanted to share it now. It's amazing to me how quickly my friends are turning into beautiful mothers.

Ryder is ONE!

Mr. Ryder is finally ONE year old! I'm not quite sure how that happened, but it has!

I arrived at Cody & Kristy's house just in time to see Ryder as he woke up Saturday morning.

I LOVE the bedhead!

Cuddles with Momma.

He wasn't really ALL of the way awake yet. :)

We did some trick pony rides.

Hugged Daddy (but just for a second)

And ate some breakfast.

Aprilia NEVER gets any lovin' now, so I have to give her some blog love. ;)

After Ryder had breakfast and was dressed, we headed outside for some fun.

This is one of my favorites!

Cody's parents got Ryder this tricycle for his birthday and he LOVES it!

We walked (Ryder rode!) to Kristy's parents' house to play on the swingset.

Another one of my favorites.

Ryder is now a BIG cousin. Mr. Carter was born the day after Ryder's 1st birthday.
Joe & Jonie brought Camden & Carter over to play.
I love how serious the boys look in this one.
I am afraid they will get into a LOT of trouble together over the next few years. :)

Cody & Kristy-We love you guys so much! I hope you enjoy Ryder's slideshow.

Ryder's Sneak Peek

Saturday morning I went to hang out with Cody, Kristy, & Ryder. I got there in time to see Ryder as he woke up.
Ryder got some breakfast.

Then we went outside to play!

More to come later!

Owen's Sneak Peek

I had a full today including two sessions and a trip to a pumpkin patch with Miss Maggie!
I know Emily & Andy are anxious to see these of little Owen and I wanted to get these up since I had them ready.
Owen is 2 weeks old-he was born a little early, but he's doing well.
Andy & Emily, thanks for letting me visit you today!
