More sweetness...

I have a few more favorites from my baby Jake shoot. I promise...a personal update tomorrow. :)

Charlie...before the mess...

Charlie loved the cake, but he was all smiles even before I brought it out!

We got some cute brother shots, too!

Baby Jake Part 2...

It took two hours to get him to sleep, but it was worth the wait. I have a bunch of SWEET pictures of baby Jake to share over the next week or so. Here is a little peek.

Charlie likes cake.

This is the shot that just kills me.

LOVE this boy!

John, Judy, and Family...

I met this sweet family at the park last week. I should let my photography club know that if we need a model family...this is the one! They are gorgeous...and sweet...and easy!! Dad did a great job telling stories to keep the kids entertained. Thanks John!!  Mom and Dad are such positive people...and it makes such a difference...despite the heat! I had about 100 pictures that I LOVED! I couldn't delete!

Thomas...

Thomas has been talking about coming to my studio for quite some time. He actually visited the house a couple of other times and was able to check it out.  He got excited about the possibility of a studio photo shoot. I got excited, too! He totally delivered! Now I'm even more excited! He even told me that he loves me. :) Love you too, Tom!

Topic of Conversation...

The conversation has been interesting around here lately. It goes something like this...

Jake:  Mom, the Earf is round.
Mom: Yes, Jake, the Earth is round.
Jake: (After viewing an animated movie preview) Mom, will the Earf spin around and break apart?
Mom: No, Jake. The Earth will not spin around and break apart.
Jake:  Mom, I'm scared of Earfses.
Mom: Jake, you are living on the Earth. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Jake: Mom, can I make an Earf?
Mom: No, Jake. Only God can make an Earth.
Jake: Mom, can I be a god?
Mom: No, Jake. There is only one God.
Jake: Mom, did God die?
Mom: Yes, Jake. God died because he loves us. Now he is in Heaven watching over us.

This kind of questioning goes on all the time. Sometimes it's a bit exhausting, but it usually just makes me smile.

There's been some construction going on behind our Church in the woods. The sewer department is digging deep in the woods to put in a new sewer system. I noticed when I picked Jake up from camp this week at noon that all the guys went on lunch break and were gone at that time. I knew I just had to do it...I had to take Mr. Construction and Sewer Systems up to Church for a shoot near the equipment. Unfortunately it was ridiculously hot on the day I picked, but I didn't want to delay. I'm not exactly sure when the work will be finished. Jake was sweaty and tired, but I still got some cute shots to share.
