Devan

Devan arrived with his mom Justine for her maternity session. He was saying on his way in that he was only going to be in a couple of pictures..... Obviously he changed his mind! Every time mom stepped out of the studio for an outfit change, Devan stepped in front of the camera with an idea for a shoot of his own. He is an awesome kid and has a great personality. I could totally see him in an ad for Abercrombe. Maybe in a few years.... 

One Hot Mama

I think that pregnancy is so beautiful, and expectant mom Justine really makes it look hot! She is a hairstylist, so of course she looked amazing and stylish. Her son Devan was also adorable and handsome and by no means shy in front of the camera. We had a little session of his own everytime Justine changed outfits. It was hilarious. The playfulness of the top two images really makes me love this family. I cannot wait to meet Devan's little sister!

Back to Work, if I can call it that....

We are back to work around here, and life could not be better. We are very blessed to have amazing clients who understand that occasionally nusing a newborn trumps taking a portrait, and that things may be a little bit noisier around here for a while! I have learned to be more patient and appreciate the quiet times, and really get to know the amazing parents who visit us. (I love that our son Austin calls our clients, our 'Guests'.)

The last few weeks we have had more newborn sessions than any previous month of our business. I will be posting them here this weekend, and thought I would start with this little disclaimer about our life right now -

A Normal Day for Kristy

Starts around 3am, or 5am, or 2am, all depending on the demands of an 8 week old.
Includes diapering, feeding, clothing, singing, running, bathing, driving, bartering, laughing, learning, praying, more feeding, more diapering..... and ocassionally sleeping.
May also include typing, shooting (with a camera), emailing, blogging, phoning, editing, reading, uploading.... and occasionally eating out (you will notice cooking did not appear above :).

Sweet Charlotte

Charlotte has been an amazing baby so far. I cannot believe she is already a month old. Our son is adjusting pretty well and loves the baby, but he has been doing a bit more whining.... Hopefully this will soon pass! As you can tell, Charlotte is not shy in front of the camera, and I think she wanted to prove to all of my clients that I really don't mind baby pee and poo on everything in the studio. She may have been saving it up for the right moment, because each time we have her downstairs in her birthday suit, she seems to find a new item to 'christen'. We are now back in the swing of things around here and will be scheduling regular sessions again! Shoot us an email if you would like to set something up - kristyandbrent@kristyphotography.com

Our Sweet Charlotte

Indroducing God's latest gift to our family, our daughter ~

Charlotte Diane Taylor

February 12th, 2010

4:28am

8lbs 14 oz, 21in long

My amazing support team, Janelle (sister in law), my mom Dianne, and sister Valerie.

They look pretty fantastic for 5am! My labor went really well, thank you all so much for your prayers and support.

The team of doctors who assisted with Charlotte's delivery. We were also very blessed to have an AMAZING nurse, Grandma Kathy.

Charlotte's crazy long fingernails!

I am in love with this little curl on the top of her head.

Newborns have a way of captivating you like nothing else on earth. I am so lucky she is mine.

Hillarie's Maternity Session

Hillarie and I are due the same week in February. I was so excited when she called because one of my favorite clients is one where our boys were born within two weeks of each other. We have been able to see our kids grow and it is so cool to share the same developmental steps with someone! Hillarie is expecting a little girl, so we will see how closely we match up after all :)
