Going home is bittersweet…

As most of you know, I am originally from Tallahassee, FL. We moved to Athens in 2003. I used to go home ALL the time. Well, as time has gone on and children have multiplied, making it back home doesn’t happen as often. Well, at least not those “just because” trips. But this weekend….this weekend was SPECIAL. It was my nephews 6th birthday party, and, again, any of you who know me know I love a party!!!

That wasn’t the only celebration we had this weekend though. I also got to see the newest addition to our family. Little Dylan! He is the first son of my cousin Eugene. Oh MY what a sweet little baby he is, and he looks JUST like his dad.

We also had two teeth fall out this weekend. Aiden lost his first top front tooth and Lexi lost one of her molars. I hate to be THAT mom who doesn’t show photos of each kid, but really….I am not subjecting all of y’all to the back of my 11 year old’s mouth. Just the thought is a little…..well…..gross.

With all the great stuff that happened this weekend it made me miss my people even more. Those little everyday things that get taken for granted….like losing teeth, new babies, and birthdays…..when shared with family, become the great big deal that they should be. I love you guys, and will be back as soon as I can!

Sweet Sweet Baby….. I go crazy….

I just love that song by Michelle Featherstone. I really should look into buying it!

I would like to introduce you all to a special little miracle that is in our lives now. As some of you may recall, my second blog here was one of pure sadness. One that hurt my heart, my soul, my being to write.

Well…while that sadness still weighs very heavy in my heart, a little of it has been replaced with nothing more than elation. Congratulations Jacki on this new title you have….MOTHER! And, it is without the slightest hint of doubt that I know, just like all other areas of your life, you will excel. You will be everything that Landon needs you to be, you will be more than he expects you to be. You will surprise yourself at just what it is that motherhood brings to your life. Everyday is a new day, a new day of hope, happiness, and pride. And you will learn things about yourself that you never knew. Even with all you have experienced in life, you will suddenly realize that you are full of emotions you didn’t know existed. There is nothing better (or sometimes worse) than those emotions. Nothing better than waking up each day to life as a mother.

Weekends ROCK!

Well, weekends like this anyway!

It all started Saturday morning with one of my most favorite families. Matt and Kasay are the most incredible parents to their lovely little Mercer. I photographed Mercer a few months ago as a 3 month old, and to see her on Saturday was such a treat. While she truly still looks exactly the same (see the old blog entries for her 3 month shots) she has really grown in the last three months. She can sit up, wants to stand so bad she can taste it, and she even discovered the feel of grass between her fingers for the first time. As always Matt and Kasay, it was my pleasure to capture your family.

I call this first one my happy accident. I love these little moments that pop up in between photos.

Now, after this fabulous family session, our oldest was in a show at Nuci’s Space. She attended Camp Amped this summer for two weeks where she was put in a band with three other people she didn’t know. Her band, along with 4 others that were formed put on a ROCKIN’ SHOW!!!! I cannot tell you all how much Nuci’s has meant to our daughter and family this summer. If any of you are into music, or donating to great non-profits, I beg you to think of Nuci’s Space!

And then….I get to end the weekend working with a FABULOUS young lady by the name of Kacy. Fun, bubbly, and very charasmatic, Kacy was a joy to work with. She had no objections to doing whatever I asked of her, even if it felt weird and awkward. Even more fun, was the fact that her mom joined us. I just love being able to see the realtionships between teens and their parents. Kacy and her mom’s relationship was obvious……an equal admiration and respect for each other. While they may not always see eye to eye, they certainly always respect, and take into consideration one another opinions. Kacy has grown up to be a beautiful young lady, and with her personality, I am sure will go on to do big things!!!

Baby belly

On Sunday, I had the pleasure of doing two maternity sessions in a row. This is the first. She has this wonderful belly dancer’s outfit we just HAD to use. Her husband was the most enthusiastic dad-to-be I’ve ever met. He was disappointed when we finally were done with him in the pictures!

Miss L again at 6 months

More of the adorable smiley baby while I’m waiting of proofs to come in. I can’t wait to see her again when I show her Mommy these.

6 month girl

This had to be the most smiley baby I have ever met. Miss L was seemingly thrilled to meet me, and just grinned the whole time. Made me feel like a million bucks! Add in their GORGEOUS southern home with big kitchen and huge patio.. I was in light heaven. Just a few for mom as I’m editing today, but I can’t wait for her 1 year session!
