This & That | Virginia Newborn Photography

It’s been a crazy few weeks here! The studio has been very busy, I’ve been shooting 4 or 5 sessions a week for the past month and while the blog is a little behind, I have been really good about posting photos over on my Facebook page so make sure you head on over there and like me.

I’m hoping to caught up on the blog but will probably be blogging a few of the older sessions in a week or so since the clients already have their galleries and I think it will be fun to blog the images they love the most instead of what I usually pick.

On the personal front, things are just insane. We close on our new home (just a few miles away from our current home but with more space and a big yard) in just two weeks and have done zero packing so far so needless to say, we will be busy. The kids are doing so great at their new school that we switched over to a few weeks ago in anticipation of the move. I was nervous about the transition but Carter (and Reed) is doing better than I ever could have expected. I’ve been on a fitness/health kick since December and have been working out 6 days a week, it’s been intense but so much fun and I’m loving the results.

If you have an Iphone you have to download Instagram, it’s all I use these days to take my daily photos. Instagram is a free download that takes your boring smart phone photos and makes them a little more artsy and fun.

Since I’m plugging it, I might as well share a little of what we have been up to in the past few weeks via Instagram, I am hoping to do this every few weeks so you can get a peek at our lives outside the studio. :-)

Happy Friday Friends! Stay tuned, I have a few adorable babies I’ll be sharing tonight & tomorrow!

Be Mine | Virginia Newborn Photographer

Okay, it’s been like a bazillion years since I’ve shared images of my own boys on the blog. The truth is, I’ve been so busy with clients that I haven’t had time to. This week has been kind of crazy, Reed had pinkeye and got tubes put in his ears. He’s doing great now but it’s been stressful on Mama.

Last weekend I took the kids up the the studio to grab a few Valentines photos. The tides have turned and Reed is the hard one to photograph while his brother loves to mug for the camera.

These little men just full me with so much joy & love.

XOXOXOXO

He’s Four | Virginia Child Photographer

I’m a week behind here since last week was so crazy but I wanted to blog these photos I took of Carter for his 4th Birthday.  I can’t believe my little 6 pound peanut is now a lean and tall dude who often gets mistaken for a 6 year old.

It’s been a year of change and adjustment for him as he became a big brother in October, but he’s taken it in stride and has learned to love Reed.

It amazes me how much he’s changed in just two years.

He will actually pose for photos with a forced “cheese” smile if bribed now.

He’s boisterous but shy when he meets new people. I actually love it when he’s shy because it’s the only time he’s quiet.

He’s got such a great imagination and it’s always fun to play pretend with him.

He is worshiped by his baby brother and is getting better about sharing his toys and playing with him.

He still calls his butt his bunt, headphones are hegaphones, and fruit loops are fruit lips. I love these things about him and refuse to correct him because I think it’s cute.

What I love the most about him is that he’s not too big that he can’t snuggle with me, crawl up and sit on my lap and he still loves hugs and kisses from his Mom.

Cheesy smiles aside, I think he’s pretty awesome and am thankful every single day for having him in my life. He’s the first, the one that made me a Mom, and the one who taught me patience and unconditional love.  Happy Birthday big boy!

9 | Ashburn Virginia Baby Photography

Reed Wilson, you are 9 months old now! If I could push pause right this second and keep you this age, I would. You are crawling all over the place and pulling up on anything and everything. It’s keeping us on our toes but you are so curious and fun I can just see those little cogs in your head turning as you figure new things out and ponder your next move.

I look back at those first 3 month photos and can’t believe you were ever that small. You now weigh 23 pounds, are 30 inches long and have a big head. You are in the 90th percentile for everything and are a little ahead of the curve development wise. The doctor seems to think you will be walking before your 1st Birthday and I am hoping that is not true.

You rock all table foods and will eat anything we put in front of you even with zero teeth in that mouth. Your favorite foods are blueberries and watermelon. You are the easiest, happiest, most laid back baby ever and I thank god every day for that.

You love to play with all of your toys and you also try to steal big brother’s toys, much to his dismay. You worship the ground he walks on and he’s starting to really play with you. There’s nothing that makes me happier than watching the two of you together. I can’t wait for you to start saying his name. Right now your favorite three words are Mama, Dada and Baba.

You love the water so we’ve spent a lot of time at the pool, beach and bathtub this summer. You would stay in the water until all of your skin prunes up without even wanting to get out. Your big brother is the same way, and is now such a big boy jumping off the diving board with no fear.

Carter turns 4 in just a few weeks and is looking more and more like a big kid with very little signs of that toddler I saw when he turned three. After seeing his little brother get his photos taken in his green chair, Carter insisted on getting some in his own chair.

Just this week Carter has gone from calling me Mama to calling me Mommy. I knew this would happen eventually but it makes me a little sad, I kind of like Mama.

I love these boys more than I can stand it.

Bath Time | Virginia Baby Photographer

Reed is such a little water baby, there is nothing he loves more than his bath. Usually I give them baths in the smaller tub in their rooms but this morning decided to give them a bath in our big tub and get some photos and video of it. The light in there is just divine and add to it the reflection from the water and the white tub is just beautiful.

I’m sorry but he’s the cutest baby ever. I know he’s mine but still.

He’s a maniac now, crawling and pulling up on everything and anything.

And of course Carter insisted on getting in the tub and wanted his picture taken.

Lots of personal pictures as of late, I have had an awesome two weeks off but this week will return to my norm, I have 3 newborns & two babies this week. :-)
