Jaycey

This evening I was so excited to be able to hang out with Jaycey.... my favorite teenager in the whole world!

Jaycey



Jaycey was born when I was her age and it truly seems like just yesterday I was strapping her to an office chair and pushing her around the house as a baby. Then she got older and I used to take her for photo shoots with my old film camera just because she always had so much fun when I would take her by myself and do her hair and dress her up and take pictures of her.

We used to drive around, top down in my convertible and just have a good time! Just the two of us.

When she was about 4 years old, we used to say to eachother "i love YOU the morler" (meaning I love you more). SO CUTE.

We hadn't taken pictures together for quite a while, so I picked her up and we went exploring the land for new places to be creative.

Soooo, we headed to the country!



We turned down a road and came across William...

...standing right in the middle of the road in front of my car. We were DYING. Finally, he moved and went to the field beside my car and started eating some beans!

We named him William beacuse "billy-goat" was just tooo unoriginal for such a brave goat.

We ended up finding a nice field to take some fun pics in.

This girl WORKED IT OUT...

We had been at the field for just a short amount of time when a dog started howling and barking at us. Bingo was his name-o. So we ran to the car and got the heck outttta there!!

We ended up in a small patch of "weeds" which ended up a lot safer than the old Country Road where William and Bingo resided and protected the land.

Jayce, I am NOT mad at you for being so fricken adorable...

Jacinda Baboonda... (yes that is your real name..)

Thank you for hanging out with me tonight. I always have such a good time photographing you because you're always up for something new and fun!

God has a BIG plan for you.

He made you, perfectly.

...on the inside and out.

There is no one else like you.

Never forget that.

Aubrey Renee'

If you follow my blog regularly, you will remember Heather from a couple of weeks ago who was due to have Aubrey on July 8th.

I am SO happy to report that Miss Aubrey Renee was welcomed to the world by her family nearly 2 weeks ago. She weighed in at 8 pounds 7 ounces and it just the prettiest little girl!

I was so happy to hear from Heather earlier this week when she asked me to come and take some newborn pictures of Aubrey (...and her 2 big sisters)!

We scheduled it for after church today and I couldn't wait!!

When I pulled up to their house, the biggest sister Taylor was standing outside waiting for me waving! She is SO CUTE! A little girl after my heart!

I grabbed my little suitcase with my props, backdrops, and camera and headed inside to find the perfect little baby.

Heather + Ryan were up for anything, so I spent over an hour hanging out with the new family of 5 posing Miss Aubrey and of course taking pictures in between of the older sisters Taylor + Madi

Newborn pictures are so hard to take because new babies are NOT interactive at all! They are usually either sleeping or fussing, but Aubrey was such a good girl! She only fussed a little bit (and rightfully so... she was tired of being posed!)

Without further adieu ... meet Aubrey.

Even though she's nearly 8 pounds she seems SO tiny! She has a tiny bit of blondish/redish/brownish hair and looks a little bit like BOTH of her sisters!

Aubrey isn't a pacifier baby, but luckily she used it a little bit when she was fussing. At one point, she was holding on to it pretty TIGHT!

I got my camera ready and told daddy to pull it out on the count of 3.

When i got to 3, he pulled it out and she must've had a TIGHT grip on it because her whole little head moved!

But her lips stayed the same!

I love it!

I don't know if Aubrey knows how lucky she is to have such an awesome family that loves her SOOO much already!

At one point, Aubrey was getting kinda fussy so the big sisters decided that they wanted to have some fun taking pictures with the big flowers I had brought.

NO PROBLEM!
