Lucy

Yesterday I took some pictures of Lucy who belongs to my aunt Brenda. Isn't she pretty?

photo shoot weekend

I am so excited for today and tomorrow. Today I am taking Easter pictures for a girl and her family who is good friends with my aunt Brenda. I have never met them and I am looking forward to doing a photo shoot for someone I don't know. If I want to do this professional one day, I have to get use to the idea of working with people I'm not familiar with. And tomorrow I am taking pictures for our church and new pastor. Hopefully on Monday I will be able to take Kristi's maternity pictures, but we're going to play it by ear and see how her dad is since he's still in the hospital. I know Kyle would tell her to go and have fun, but it's really not that easy when your daddy is in the hospital trying to get his heart rate down.

watch for an update:)

prayers please

Yesterday Kristi and I went shopping to find outfits for her maternity shoot I am doing on Monday. We were heading home when Kristi's mom called to let her know, Kristi's dad Kyle, had a heart attack. We did a Chinese fire drill on side of the road (come on Kristi you know that makes you smile) and I drove Kristi to the hospital. Thank God I was with her yesterday. Kyle seems to be doing well, but they are monitoring his enlarged heart right now. Please say a prayer for him, as I'm sure they would appreciate it.

progesterone update

I know a lot of you have been emailing me and wanting an update on this. I am really sorry I didn't post an update sooner. Things have been so crazy here with my sister and nephew visiting. They left yesterday and will be spending a week in Marble Falls with PJ's wonderful parents before they head to Kansas.
Anyways, my progesterone was normal of course and I am defiantly ovulating. They didn't give me an exact level number on the progesterone, so I may have Brice call them, but everything is fine according to the email I got. We are now heading into our 6 month of trying to get pregnant.

play time!

This little boy doesn't stop. And neither does my camera...

What are little boys made of?

Frogs and snails and puppy-dog tails, that's what little boys are made of...

My first born...

Happy 3rd Birthday, Nathan

Nathaniel Jacob turned 3 years old yesterday, February 18th. It seems just like yesterday I was holding him in my arms while he looked into the eyes of his aunt Mimi the day he was born. We love you Nathan and can't wait to spend many more years with you. No matter how far away you are, your aunt Mimi and Uncle Brice will always be a phone call away.
It was really hard to take pictures last night because this little rugrat didn't want to sit still. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get better pictures like I had hoped, but things were too fast paced for me to keep up. They still look great, but my photography skills could have been better.

CD22

Today is cycle day 22 for me. I had my blood draw this morning to check my progesterone. I don't know why I am nervous to get the results back since my doctor said she is certain there isn't a problem. The best part is they will email me the results which makes it so much easier on me. Will update when I know more.

dinner at nana's

Tonight we ate dinner at Nana and Papa's house. I won't bore you all with more pictures of Nathan, but I had to share at least one. He loves to smile for his aunt Mimi. Then he will ask to see the picture on the camera screen. He even knows which button to push to browse thru all the digital pictures on the camera.

quick photoshoot

Today we stopped by my dads office to grab a few things. I took Nathan outside and snapped a few shots. He was a bit dirty from lunch, and it was cloudy outside- but they look cool anyways. The only pictures I touched in PhotoShop are the first two. The others I did not mess with. Pretty awesome, no?

Nathan...

is here!! And he's already making himself at home.


I promise to change my Valentine's Day layout later. I'm off to lunch now with my sister:)

yesterday & tomorrow

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. We had a blast at Benihana's with Chad and Kristi. Below are some pictures that I took with my crappy 18-55mm lens. I didn't want to take the expensive 85mm with me since I am still learning how to work it.

And tomorrow my sister, PJ, and adorable nephew will be here. I am thrilled to see them.

Kristi- I had a great time last night, thanks for the laughs:) I'll cook you some elk soon- promise. And thanks for the extra rice:)

85mm

I just got the Canon 85mm f/1.2L II lens. It's mainly used as a portrait lens which is the type of photography I am into right now. I need to play with it before I get the hang of it, but I think it's really going to help me out. I have always believed a good photographer is someone who can take an awesome picture without having to edit it in PhotoShop. So wish me luck:)
