My lil man is over a month old!  Actually tomorrow he’s 7 weeks, so he’s closer to 2 months old, but these pics are all from one month and younger.  We went to the ped when he was 3 days old and he was 5 pounds 15 ounces and 20 inches.  Exactly 4 weeks later he had bulked up to 9 pounds 13 ounces and 21 inches!  He has been busy packing on those pounds!  He has these big adorable cheeks that make me smile just thinking about them.  I like to call him my chunkamunk

This was the announcement we sent out

2.5 weeks old here, the first time I was able to get him to sleep while taking pictures!

A few from his one month birthday  This is the compare shot so we can see how much he’s grown each month!  

His eyes are still blue, but I can see the brown creeping in recently

And I love this wall gallery - just ordered the prints and frames, will show pictures when it is finally on the wall!  I still have another huge wall I am working on.  That may take awhile to get pictures together since I want both kids and I’d like to save up to make the entire wall canvases

I loved meeting the A Family yesterday.  They were so much fun to be around and it was Miss Gs 5th birthday and mom and dad’s 8th wedding anniversary!  We worked hard for the smiles, but it was so worth it

The birthday girl

Everything was so wonderful about today. The M family has the perfect house for photography… wonderful light, amazing textures, beautiful furnishings and of course the most handsome model and equally good looking parents! They have one of the most perfectly decorated homes I’ve ever seen, I only wish I had such great style! It was so hard to pull just a few for a preview… these caught my eye first, can’t wait to finish and send over your gallery. Enjoy!

My good friend did it again… she took some amazing images of TJ and I together this week.  TJ wouldn’t sleep so we didn’t get to try anything new or creative, but it was so important to get images of us together and Christie did that just perfectly.  I couldn’t ask for anything more and these make me quite teary.  Check them out on her blog HERE!

Yesterday while TJ slept I tried to creep him downstairs for a few shots.  He didn’t give me long, but I’m happy with the ones I did manage to get!  I’ll keep trying for a few here and there!  

I can’t believe his blue eyes… I’ll be so amazed if they stay!  He does this often.. the wink, practicing to be a ladies man already I’m assuming!

and I have one more one I love, but I think I’m using it for his announcement, so I don’t want to ruin the surprise

Thanks for all the love, I can’t tell you how complete I feel to have 2 beautiful children and a wonderful husband.  We are so happy and can’t wait to swap again with Christie later in the year for family portraits!

We are home and all doing well!  It’s wonderful being a family of 4, but exhausting!  I have not taken any pictures of TJ since we left the hospital - I tried today, but he wasn’t having it, can you imagine?? LOL All the time I spend with my clients, I couldn’t get my own child to cooperate, hehe.  

While in the hospital, I set up my camera (in Av mode for those curious) and my husband got some amazing pictures.  So without further ado… I’d like to introduce:

Terry Joseph (TJ) - named after my wonderful and greatly missed father

May 11, 2009

6lbs 6 oz

20 inches

My favorite people in the whole wide world…

First family picture

He has BLUE eyes!

Tomorrow I’m getting together with my good friend Christie, who did my maternity pics!  She’s going to get pictures of TJ and I and we’re going to try to get creative together, so stay tuned!!!!

**Also, I’m feeling wonderful!  If you are interested in a JUNE session, please let me know I can begin booking limited sessions!**

I met this lil one when he was just a few weeks old.  I love watching my clients grow!  Ryan still has the same beautiful eyes and full hair!  He’s going to be quite the ladies man I’m sure

Would you believe mom was unsure if this lil one would smile???

It doesn’t get much cuter than this and such a beautiful family!

The weather this past weekend was just gorgeous!  (as is Miss G ) Today its back to the good ol April Showers…

Miss G loved exploring and picking flowers, blowing bubbles and well doing what every other child her age does… running!  If only we could bottle that energy for a rainy day! 

Last shots of the session, how appropriate
