My Beautiful Family

My brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew are in town for just a few more days before heading back to Central Asia, where they live. My brother is an INCREDIBLE photographer and has plenty of pictures of the kids, but they wanted some good family shots. We met up for about 45 minutes earlier this week to grab some shots of them together.

Miss Kaiyah wasn't in a great mood that morning, but I still think we got some good shots! You can't see the most recent addition to their family, but as Zeke would say "Mommy has a baby in her tummy!"

The next time I do a family session for them, it will be for their family of 5! We're SO excited!

Our Little Man...

One of the perks of having to see a specialist and having 1,001 ultrasounds is the free 4Ds we get regularly. This is the most recent picture taken at today's appointment. I may be crazy, but I think he already looks like his daddy!

Today's appointment at the specialist's office went much better than last time. The amount of fluid in Zachary's kidneys went down significantly and the doctors are hopeful they will correct themselves. We go back in about four weeks for another check, but right now, we are definitely excited and praising God! Thank you again SO much for all your prayer and support. We've been overwhelmed by everyone's kindness... especially when we know this is SUCH a small problem, compared to what many of our loved ones are facing.

Zachary is almost 28 weeks. Right now, everything is measuring on schedule, except for his legs and his head. His legs are measuring at about 30 weeks (2 1/2 weeks ahead of schedule, meaning they're quite long) and his head is measuring about 31 weeks (3 1/2 weeks ahead of schedule). The ultrasound tech says that means he'll have some long legs and a big head!

Right now, he's about 3 pounds, which means he's on schedule to be about 8 or 9 pounds, depending on when he's born. It looks like we have a big boy on our hands!

Good times!

Pecor Family

I couldn't believe how big she'd gotten since our newborn session back in April.

It was so nice working with this family again!

And I even got to meet this guy for the first time. This is my 10-day-old nephew, Andrew.

My other brother and his family are in from overseas, and I'm spending some much needed time with family, in a nice cabin, without internet access. I snuck away to a nearby lodge to send a few emails, but I will be back and in touch on Monday.

Thomas Family

This session was originally scheduled for a Tuesday morning. That morning, I woke up to rain pouring outside. The forecast called for rain ALL DAY LONG. Fortunately, this family was able to reschedule. We couldn't have asked for a better day! It felt SO perfect outside! I LOVED this session!

Miller Family

I photographed the Miller Family back in the spring, and was SO happy to get the chance to do it again.

They are SO full of love and SO sweet. I promise, when I'm around these fabulous families, I forget I'm working!
