Starting Kindergarten!

August 24, 2010 – 8:36 am

Mom Blogging:

I am in shock.  Absolute disbelief.  Today we dropped our son off for his first day of kindergarten!  We are so excited for him and we know he is going to do GREAT, but wow, how is he old enough to be away from us for almost a full work day five days a week!!  When I was younger my grandma would always tell me that time goes by so fast and I need to take in every moment.  My mom told me to enjoy each age for what it was and never rush growing up.  It made sense, but none of it really sunk in until after I had kids.

My little boy is such a blessing!  He is incredibly smart, kind, and fun…he is going to have a fantastic year!  Now I just have to stop crying about him growing up so fast.  ;)

Here I am giving my son a kiss just after he was born:

And here I am today giving him a big hug as I leave him in his kindergarten class.  It does not feel like this much time has passed!

I know that there are many of you waiting patiently for blog updates.  They will be coming soon!  We are taking a short blogging break as we work on editing AND move into a new house!!  We can’t wait to share some pictures of our new place after we settle in.

In the meantime, we are excited to officially share the news that we have been rated by local brides and voted The Knot Best of Weddings 2010 Pick!  This is our second year receiving this honor and we are incredibly grateful to all of our wonderful couples.  Our brides and grooms are some truly amazing people!  THANK YOU for letting us “work” doing what we love.  We appreciate all the awesome reviews and we love all the friends we get to make when we share in such important moments.  Look for us in The Knot Best of Weddings, a special section in The Knot Florida magazine!

Also in that issue of The Knot Florida, check out page 171 for a few of our pictures from the wedding of Jessica and Chris!  Jessica’s beautiful gown and the look for her wedding party made the Style Stalker section!

Welcome to This World

Mom Blogging:

I have to admit, First Breath sessions are emotional for me.  I feel the intensity of the excitement and love in the images as I am going through them.  I think they are powerful images because of the emotion they capture.  After her maternity session, Emilia invited Jason to be there to photograph the birth of her daughter.  What an honor!  Emilia was all smiles (even after her surgery!) and Keith looked so proud of her and then of their little girl.  Congratulations to Emilia, Keith, and big brother as well!  Thank you for having us share in such an incredible event with your family.

Little Sister’s 1/2 Birthday!

February 10, 2010 – 1:28 am

Mom Blogging:

I consider myself to be incredibly blessed, and whenever I look at my kids I am amazed at God’s goodness and so grateful for everything that has been given to me.  Our daughter recently turned six months old and Jason photographed her six month pictures.  Her beautiful smiles just melt my heart!  In six short months she has changed from a tiny newborn to a crawling, babbling, laughing baby!  She has three (almost four) teeth already, she is pulling herself up to stand, and she loves playing peek-a-boo with her big brothers.  They are great with her, and both of them are very proud to be big brothers.  Our toddler even gives up his toys without complaint whenever she reaches for something he is playing with, and that is saying a lot for a two year old!

I love my family and am blessed with an amazing life!  Time goes by so quickly when you are trying to hold onto all of the moments with your kids as they grow.  Jason and I are taking it all in and holding these memories close to our hearts.

And now at 1/2 a year old!

I love this face with her scrunched up nose!  She makes it all the time and does this funny nose laugh sound when she is happy :)

So maybe she outgrew the swim suit before she even got a chance to really wear it.  I’m a proud nursing mom!

Mail and Ads and Blogs: Our Pictures Put to Use!

January 8, 2010 – 4:31 am

Mom Blogging:

I love seeing our images put to use.  In the mail the other day we received Caroline and David’s Save the Date card.  They are such a sweet couple and we loved the picture they chose from their engagement session!  It shows what a cute couple they are and how happy they are to be in love.  We’ve been hearing some of the planning details from Caroline’s wonderful mom and it is going to be an amazing wedding!

Also in the mail we received a thank you card from newlyweds Marisol and Neil.  It had a pretty flower cut out on the front:

and a nice message to Jason thanking him for photographing their wedding on the inside:

Elissa and Rick were also just married and are a terrific couple.  I got to meet them at our Christmas party and they were great people.  After seeing their images they wrote:

“Jason,

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding!  Everyone (including us) was amazed at you being everywhere!  The pictures are great – I think you got a pic of everyone who was there!  Now the hard part is picking out which pictures we want :)   Thank you also for the Christmas party invite – it was great to meet your family!  You are great at what you do.  Thank you.

Elissa and Rick ”

It was also fun for us to see two of our pictures in Michele Renee Hair and Makeup Artist Group‘s ad in the Perfect Wedding Guide (on the right):

Wedding blogs are a great place to get ideas for your own wedding planning.  Brenda’s Wedding Blog is a great one with daily updates and lots of pictures.  We are honored that she shared a ring pictures from Stephanie and Nick’s wedding on her “Ringing in the New Year” blog post!

Seeing our pictures put to great uses, getting these terrific thank you cards…2010 is starting off wonderfully!
