Happy St Patrick's Day!

It was a great day today! I am officially 24 weeks! Andrew and I were off work together today so we brought Andy to school (hehe) and had the day to ourselves. Started out by dropping off the truck to get new tires.




Bought this at Kohl's. Couldn't help myself!











Then had lunch together at Red Robin in Fort Collins before heading back to Cheyenne. Fun times.

Had way too much fun today!

I don't even think these need much of a caption. This is Penny Cutteridge, her parents are Brandon and Sarah Cutteridge. She is 12 days old an absolutely beautiful! This was my first newborn shoot and I had a blast! <3 taking baby pics!!!

My New Hobby

Pretty much on a whim yesterday I decided I wanted to learn how to knit so that I can make my own baby hats. I've been trying to do more photography lately and one of my favorite props used in newborn photography are these adorable little hats. After ordering a few I realized it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper to make my own. So I did! And it's surprisingly easy!







This one on the top left was my very first one, I made it for the baby on the way and also made a matching one in a larger size for Andy. On the right is the first one I made today, for a friend.





This pink/white one I made today to use tomorrow doing some photos for a friend who just had her baby last week! I can't wait to actually use these in photos!!!






And this last one looks like a large hat but it's not really. It's a cocoon. You stick the baby in there and they look all cute and bunched up and wrapped up in this oversize hat looking thing. You'll see what I mean, it's cute!!! It's actually more turqoise looking in real life, didn't photograph well on my phone!

So that's my new hobby! Fun stuff! My hands hurt now! :)

There's No Place Like Home

I really, really like how this turned out. It totally reminds me of the Kansas scenes in the Wizard of Oz. Can you see that? This is a fence near one of the lakes on base. I always thought it'd be cute for pictures and looks like I was right.

So much for the outdoors

Not sure how I feel about this. I had planned on going outside and getting some pre-spring pictures but then the weather decided to get crappy and dumped some snow on us out of nowhere. So I wouldn't get much out there. So you get another maternity shot. Like I said, it's my easy out. I kinda like this but kinda don't. Oh well.

I love weekends

It's really too bad about the lighting in this. I need to get some lamps in this room. Just having a lazy Saturday. Weekends are great because 1. I can sleep in. and 2. I get to hang out with Andy all day before I go to work! Tomorrow will be even better because it's our bowling day! Yay!





I always look better in black & white, lol.

Woo, wood floors!

Well ok so it's just laminate but still. It looks a lot prettier than carpet! I need to get more of it though because this doesn't cover very much space. It's perfect for doing baby pics though, I can't wait to do that!



Ok so I have terrible editing skills, but whatever. I need to work on that! These top two pics are really just redoing poses I have tried in the past. I wanted to see how they'd look with the wood. I like it but my lighting sucks. I guess that's my next project. :)









And here's a shot so you can actually see the pretty wood. Oooh, aaah. This pose didn't quite turn out like I had hoped but oh well. I like the wood.
