I was so excited to meet this sweet boy since I first met mom and dad. I know that they had waited for the moment to meet him for a super long time and I am SO happy and excited for them both. I wish nothing but the best for your family!
Today was Mr. B’s newborn session at just 8 days old. Man, how time flies with those newborns! So far I have learned that Mr. B LOVES to eat and suck on anything pretty much (poor mom) and he loves to look around, and my goodness- can poop a lot!!
I couldnt wait to post a few images from our session. I hope you guys enjoy and I will call you in a few days when your photos are all done and posted.
Congratulations again to the both of you! Mr. B- you have some very special parents!
Staci Bailey and I headed out for a HUGE family photo session out in Priest Lake/ Outlet Bay area. I am super glad Staci came along because lil Charlie Joe- once again- had other plans for me other than playing with my camera. But after he ate, cried, screamed and pooed, he finally settled down and enjoyed the breeze and the attention from all the girls.
Here is their sneak peek of some of the fun we had!

Its Ok To Cry
Posted on July 9, 2009
A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?”
“Because I’m a woman,” she told him.
“I don’t understand,” he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, “And you never will.”
Later the little boy asked his father,
“Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”
“All women cry for no reason,” was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man,
still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God.
When God answered, he asked,
“God, why do women cry so easily?”
God said:
“When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough
to carry the weight of the world,
yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength
to endure childbirth
and the rejection
that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness
that allows her to keep going
when everyone else gives up,
and take care of her family
through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children
under any and all circumstances,
even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults
and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know
that a good husband never hurts his wife,
but sometimes tests her strengths
and her resolve to stand beside him unfaltering.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.
This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.”
“You see my son,” said God,
“the beauty of a woman is not
in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart
- the place where love resides.”
They were ALL so wonderful to me as I had to bring along the little baby. I figured it would be an easy thing to do, but of course the baby had other plans. Thankfully, Charley came along to help shoot as well.
Thank you so much to all of you for being so kind and patient with us. You all were so wonderful and so fun to be around. I hope you had an enjoyable time – I know we did! Please enjoy your sneak peek and I will contact you soon when your gallery is posted 
In just a few minutes (at the time of me writing this is pieces that I can) my little potato will be 1 month old. Its amazing how time flies when you are in love
This little baby has been such a blessing to me and my family. I am so happy and grateful that I have him. He brings me such joy!
There are so many moments in the day where I just sit and marvel at this being that was created. Created out of so much love. I love every little thing about him. The smell of his hair, the softness of his head- so small that I can still cup it in my hand; the defined shape of his nose, the curve of his mouth, the strong grip of his hands, the strength of his kicks. I love when we lock eyes and when he hears my voice, how his little mouth turns into a smile. I love his little coos and soft cries, the way he latches on to me and how, when he eats, his little hand kneeds the side of my chest. I love every little bit of this baby!
As the minutes are creeping up to the big moment of his delivery, I can actually feel myself going thru all those emotions again. It was a glorious day and I was very excited, but at the same time I was extremly scared. And although I had already been thru the procedure before, it scared me more to know what was going to happen. This time, would I actually feel the actual incision, would it hurt more, would it take longer to be in the OR, what about the recovery time… So many questions. But in the end, it was all just fine.
I remember sitting in my room with my husband and cousin, just watching the clock and the fluids rushing thru the IV. My nerves were building so fast and it seemed they had no where to go. I like to think I kept my cool for a while and even had some moments of laughter and jokes in the OR as they were setting up. As soon as my hubby sat down beside me and I looked into his eyes, I could not hold back my emotions any more. I could not be that strong woman anymore. This was the moment that I was going to meet this gift from God.
8:59 a.m. we welcomed our little Charlie Joe into our world and into our lives.
How fast time flies when you are in love….
These beautiful images were created by Staci Bailey- a friend and fellow photog. She helped me create a beautiful creation for us to treasure forever. Thank you so much Staci for this gift!!
We made it out finally this summer for our first family camping trip – before the kiddos left for vacation (lucky ducks!). We decided to stay local and camp out down at Mirror Lake. It was actually a very nice stay. The lake was really nice – to look at. You will not catch this chick-a-bee swimming in ANY lake! I was itching to go out and fish but with our lil potato, I never got a chance to make it out there. That is ok, there will be a next time!
Here are some photos from the weekend. There are LOTS more to come. The kids kept asking to take photos, so I handed over the old Rebel and let them go to town. LOTS of images and questions but for the most part they are good. I have to give props to my son, I think he has the photo bug! I cant wait to share those, but for the meantime, I hope you enjoy these!!
