Back in November I ran a facebook special that went over so well I had to do it twice! This is the first round of mini-sessions from way back then, of course I had to wait until now to post them as all of these families used photos from their sessions for the Christmas cards and I didn’t want to spoil the surprise for anyone.

This family was so cute! We met up in Castle Rock for their session – we were nearly rained out, but fortunately for us it let off long enough for us to get some really great photos of the family and their dogs! Thank you guys for having me as your photographer!

My goodness! I can’t believe she’s already one. I feel like I just photographed her as a newborn. It really does go by fast!

Isn’t she just as cute as a bug? ;-)

4 months | Kelso baby photographer

He’s 4 months old. He laughs and babbles like crazy. He just started eating solids. He’s 17 lbs. He started saying “mama” the other day, and he hasn’t quite saying it since. He’s learned how to throw a fit when he doesn’t get what he wants. But that’s not often because we spoil him. Bad. He melts my heart when he snuggle into my arm every night as I rock him to sleep. My oldest said to me the other morning “I’m so glad we have Tristen, he makes it so fun here, he laughs and plays and pulls my hair and I just love him.” sigh…….my boys know to how to melt this mama’s heart.

Ok…….so before ya’ll start critiquing my lighting and the fact that the second shot is out of focus….let me explain. I set little man down to meter in my camera and took a quick test shot. My lighting = bad. But then before I had time to fix anything out of nowhere he decided to roll over. For the first time. EVER. Yep…got it on camera in front of a drop and everything. Nevermind that it’s poorly lit, and out of focus. I got the FIRST ROLL OVER EVER!!!!!!!!!

And here he is in all his fat little cuteness. Don’t you just want to kiss those chubby little cheeks??????

Tristen D! Your the best and this mama loves you to pieces!!!!!!!

5! | Kelso Children’s Photographer

She turned 5 last month. They say time flies once you have babies. I think that’s the understatement of the year. She is the bravest, strongest, toughest little 5-year-old I know. Honest and wise beyond her years. Funny and adorable as can be. She has been through a lot for a kid her age, and she has come out on the other side smiling and laughing and praising Jesus. (Yes….she loves Jesus with all her little heart!) She give’s me courage to keep on plugging away. I know someday that God has very special plan for her precious life. She wants to be a missionary when she grows up (or fashion model depending on the day!) and she loves to play orphanage and care for all the “babies” (her doll, chicky, teddy bear and our poor dog who get’s roped into all her make-believe -Huck). I love her to death, am so proud of her, and can’t believe that my middle-child is 5.

7 years | Children’s photography

7 years…as I type that I realize that nearly 8 years ago (in a few more months) I took that little test that forever changed my life. Two little pink lines popped up and suddenly I went from life revolving around me (which of course I thought it did at that time in my life) to life revolving around him.

I pulled out some of my old videos the other day and watched his birth happen. That moment when arrived was the most beautiful moment in my life. Seriously. Not that my other kids birth’s were any less beautiful, but with anyone’s first-born that moment where you go from just being “you” to being “mom” is life-changing. (Major understatement right?) I could watch it over and over again. His little smashed blue head, him crying, me crying, my mom crying, me kissing his sweet little face for the first time and snuggling him close. So perfect.

Happy birthday little buddy! I love you! - Mom
