Boys will be boys

I am amazed over and over again how a boy simply knows things.  A boy knows how to make car sounds, play ninja, and create a gun out of anything.  They need no prompting from mom and dad.  This would be the case with Hudson.  A innocent stick was laying on the ground and he in his two year old little boy brain saw a gun.  Boys will be boys!

Anticipation

Little Mr. Justus will arrive sometime this week.  Danna is hoping that it will be soon and on his own.  I am so glad he waited though for us to get some great tummy photographs.  As with any new baby there is a lot of anticipation of how he will arrive, when, what he will look like etc. I do know this will be one adorable little boy, and no matter how or when he enters this world he is blessed already with a family that is crazy about him.

Another amazing couple

Harry and Linda have been married for 37 years.  Once again I am amazed and inspired.  I hope that Jon and I feel as at ease and comfortable with each other as Linda and Harry when we have been married that long.  I also hope we are full of laughter, just like them.  It’s so encouraging to see couples who beat the odds and make their marriage last.  Thanks for being an example!

An Aspiring Photographer?

I had the opportunity to photograph three generation in the Moody family.  After our photography session Cole started asking me about photography.  Of course, I loved telling him the details of my work.  He asked me awesome questions!  Definitely a handsome, intelligent, young man.   I hope that his interests turns into a hobby and who knows maybe a career.

The Hadachek Boys

The Hadachek boys are a handsome group.  I stated my claim  to their mom that I would take no responsibility when these boys photographed older then they are.  I was amazed to find out that J. was only 12 and B. was 10.  L. of course looked and acted like a typical 1.5 year old; running, running, running.  I was so grateful for the older boys who helped chase him.  There is an obvious love between the three boys. We had a great session!  Good luck Mom and Dad with these handsome boys, lock your doors now!

Cuties

Emma and Gracie are cuties!  Gracie was not so sure about me at first. She didn’t want to be out of arms reach of her mom so we started with Emma.  Emma was great!  She loved posing and knew just the right look to give me.  When it came to Gracie’s turn she quickly decided I could be her friend because I had gum.  We were able to capture great images of both girls and even a few together.

Almost 40 years!

Necia and Stan are on the verge of 40 years of marriage.  I find that so remarkable and encouraging.  They still make each other smile, I think that might be one of their secrets.   I was also impressed as they shared with me that their weekend project was to replace the floor in the play house they have on their farm.  What a neat memory many children that they touch will have in that play house.

A woman of substance

The moment I met Suzanne I knew I liked her.  After spending the weekend in Dysart, the fact she was a woman of substance was confirmed over and over again.  I know she has been a valuable friend to my brother and sister-in-law.  It warms my heart to know that they have that love and support.  Her children only further confirmed her character.  They were charming, polite and not to mention crazy photogenic!

Hudson

Hudson is my “nephew’ by default, his mother is one of my closest, dearest friends.  I was able to photograph Hudson the day before he was born in his mommy’s tummy and have been anxious to photograph him again.  It’s hard to believe that he has already turned 2, and that it took me this long to get a session in.  That is what I get for living so far away.   It seems like time has been a flash since his birth.  I am so glad I get to be in his life in any amount and am looking forward to seeing the man he will become years from now.  I am sure he’ll get use to Aunt Heather snapping away the photos as well.
