Attacking these last six weeks with camera in hand…

November 9, 2009 | Filed Under Deployment, Photography, Photos 

Busy.

That’s been the way to describe me lately.

Simply having three small kids is busy enough. But raising them on my own is really busy. And then adding in homeschooling… that takes busy to a whole new level. Except that I have decided to add to the crazy and do a few photoshoots and another wedding with Amanda. Because why not? If I’ve already committed to the crazy… why not go all.the.way.

Last week I finished up editing Jen’s “Hot Mama” photoshoot. (I totally own at that I am slow at editing.)

She’s fierce, my friends. Very fierce. And totally beautiful.

I am working on editing Erin’s sweet family photoshoot…

Erin 8 b&c

Levi is the sweetest, smiliest baby. Love him.

Erin 5 b&wc

Rosy and I did a photoshoot together…

Rosy 3 b&c

We swapped photos for babysitting (I’m all for the barter system!)

Rosy 4 b&c

On Friday I shot a “Rock the Frock” with Jen and her husband Jon… Oh, that was amazing! I am itching to rock my frock with Daniel now!

Rock the Frock 1

Their love is amongst my favorite. Absolutely beautiful.

Yesterday Amanda and I set out. She is hardcore, y’all. Totally sick but she was out there trekking through tall grass in barefeet.

We laughed a lot. I think that’s my favorite part of doing photoshoots… the laughing.

It’s me, 48 bazillion photos, photoshop, and Mozart after the kids go to bed. Every night. And I really love it.

So, life is busy. Yes, very busy. But, I am happy and ready for this final push towards the finish line. Christmas can’t come fast enough this year!

    I would babysit for a week to get some beautiful photos taken by you! :)

    And I agree — just go all out crazy if you’re gonna do it!

    I agree – I so wish you were closer. I would SO trade babysitting for a photo shoot like that!!! Awesome pictures!

    If you’d be willing to haul your kiddos down here to SC I’d babysit for some maternity photos :) I’m so excited for you that Daniel will be home soon!

    Heck, I want a rock the frock session with you! These are great! Once again, you’ve captured the personality and emotion behind the scenes beautifully.

    It’s making me jealous, lol. Our wedding photos were so awful! (Such a crazy back story there is to that. I’ll share with you sometime.)

    I’ve been telling Jason for a couple years now that I’d love to do a vow renewal someday. He finally agreed this weekend that he thought it would be nice :) (Maybe for our 10 year anniversary.) I should start saving to book you and Amanda now!

    LOVE!!! these are great and I love your “frock” pictures, too. What a GREAT idea!!!

    I absolutely LOVE the picture from the “Rock the Frock” photo shoot, with the bride standing in front of the church window…STUNNING!!

    Good luck with the crazy busy :) The upside to crazy busy is that it makes the time pass faster, and the faster the time passes the sooner your hubby will be home!

    Have a great week :)
