Oh Dear Lord, I am t i r e d. I didn’t even turn on my alarm last night- hoping I would sleep in as long as I needed to in order to not be so stinkin’ tired. Ummmmmm, I woke up at 5:30…WTH??? I have the most messed up sleeping patterns :-)
This past weekend I slept on my couch and every morning I was woken up by the sound of little baby feet roaming around my apartment and then I would see this little cute face…………..
It was so funny. I guess he would wake up pretty early, so Autumn would put him in bed with her & Andy, but after a while he would just want down. So she would put him down and he would just wander around my apartment for a while, just gabbing away in his baby language. Stealing my Swiffer and sweeping my floors, stealing things out of my purse, coming into the living room to see if Briley & I were still asleep, etc :-)
This past weekend was crazy! I left Kirksville on Friday afternoon and got back into town an HOUR before Andy & Autumn got here. Keep in mind I had been gone for a week, I had NO food in my apartment so I had to run by the store on my way into town, I also got stuck in traffic on I-70, Andy was demanding fresh baked cookies when he got into town, I still needed to shower, etc. Needless to say it was a crazy day :-)
Before all that craziness started, I got to meet up with these cuties. Little Miss Brynley was a whole 4 days old and absolutely perfect….as was her big brother Benson. Seriously- getting the sibling shot, when the older sibling is actually still very young, is VERY hard. It’s a three-ring circus and probably very entertaining to watch :-) BUT, Benson totally took us all off guard and did everything we said. I was speechless. He’s TWO, I was totally not expecting to get the shots I wanted. I said, “ok we’ll try this, this and this, but we won’t push it. If we get it, we get it.” Benson- you are the best little boy ever and thank you for always being so good when I come around :-) Same to you Brynley!!! So far- you’re shaping up to to be pretty good at this whole photo shoot thing. Enjoy the sneak peeks, Heeren Family!
So the next morning I met up with the Brown’s for Miss Emery’s 1- year shoot. The Brown’s are really good friends with the Heeren’s and they were up visiting for Labor day weekend and to meet Miss Brynley, so it all worked out perfectly. Oh I just loved Emery’s shoot :-) She’s so flippin’ cute! Her cake smash was hysterical and the whole family got in on it. Everyone got some cake :-) Be sure to look at the Birthday Crown I made for her shoot. I seriously thought it up, dug some supplies out of my “craft box” and pretty much just made it up as I went along……it took me about an hour….and that was without really knowing what i was doing. Now that I’ve come up with a way to do it- imagine how quickly I can come up with tons of possibilities :-) The best part is that the little bow/flower thing is clipped onto the crown and can come off and be used as a bow. Love it!
Once I made it back to St. Louis, I had a big family shoot on Saturday. Allison is my good friend from high school, it always fun doing shoots for people you’ve known forever. I knew it was going to be fun when I get a text from Allison while I was on my way to the shoot that simply said, “My family is crazy.” Then I walk in the door and they’re all drinking, hahahah! I told them that was a very smart idea. I’m a firm believer in people taking a few swigs before big family pictures. It helps people relax, it makes the whole photo shoot thing more tolerable and it helps them not hate me as much :-) I know people really don’t “hate” me during pictures, so I need to stop saying that, but I’m never the most liked. It’s not like people are like, “ohhh yayyyyy, the photographer is here!!! I’m so excited for pictures!!! I just love her!!!” It’s more like, “ok- the quicker you smile, the quicker we get this over with!”
I know the more candid photo shoots are easier, but the hard part is getting people to be candid. They say they want candid and then they’re like, “ok- what do you want us to do? Where do you want me to look? How does my hair look?? Is everyone looking at the camera at teh same time?? I want everyone looking at the same time. Is Billy smiling?? Is he doing his real smile or his fake smile??” Then I throw my hands up in the air and say, “WHAT IN THE HECk DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY CANDID???” Sometimes you just can’t win as a photographer :-)
That was such a tangent.
The Braun family was the exact opposite of what I just described….did you read the part where I said they were partaking in some light afternoon drinks when I arrived?? They were great :-) They wanted to do pictures inside because it was so hot on Saturday, but I got them to do some outside and I think by the end of it they all agreed…outside is usually better. I love outside pictures :-) Allison’s Aunt Lisa lives in a part of St. Louis called Holly Hill’s and it is ADORABLE. It ended up not being super hot- so I think it all went very well. Good job, Braun Family!!! Enjoy your sneak peek :-)
I’ll be back in a day or two with more sneak peeks! For now, I’m back to work on this GORGEOUS Labor day :-)

Brynley’s pictures turned out great. She is so adorable. And your little creeper is pretty cute too.

The pics are great – I’m sure my grandma will love them. I really love the picture of my immediate family!! Too bad Jack decided he was done with pics :)
