Um... just some unbelievable adorableness to add to your Saturday morning. :)
The Cheatham Family | Lynchburg Family Photographer
My friend Heather is a fabulous wedding photographer. I had a great time shooting her family portraits - her boys totally know how to work the camera! :) Plus her excellent photography knowledge meant that she was more than willing to meet for a sunrise session. And we all know how much I love sunrise sessions. The lighting in these pictures makes me so giddy. Heather, I hope you love your family portraits as much as I do!
Katelyn and Grant, pt II | Virginia Wedding Photographer
If you missed it, be sure to check out part I of Katelyn and Grant's e-session. And now... part II... the farm. I loved being on the dairy farm, meeting the baby cows (I know there is a better term for a baby cow, but I don't remember!), and meeting Katelyn's family. They are passionate about their work and the whole environment reminded me of when I spent 6 months living on a working farm during college. Love, love.
Katelyn and Grant | Warsaw Engagement Photographer
The first time Katelyn mentioned wheat and corn fields I knew our photographer/client match was one made in heaven. :) Katelyn and Grant come from farming families and they had no problem waking up in time for a sunrise session. We started the session off down by the water on Katelyn's family's land and ended it in a barn full of hay! Between the setting and the lighting, I felt like I was in a photographer's playground! Not to mention how EASY they made my job because they simply giggled, cuddled, and stole kisses during our time together. Perfect! I love their photos so much that I am going to share their engagement session in two parts. First up, a J. Crew couple:
Stay tuned for part II!!
Baby S, An update | Virginia Birth Photographer
I promised I'd keep you updated on Baby S. Her parents have been on a roller coaster ride and I've shared some of the updates, new prayer requests, and a few additional photos below. Updates on Baby S:
- She has to stay an additional 6 days for more antibiotics. :(
- She has been having apnea incidents that are very scary for everyone.
- She was switched from an IV tube of nutrients to a feeding tube of breastmilk! Yippee!
- Mama was able to have some skin-on-skin time with baby and held her in a "kangaroo" hold. They were in heaven!
Continued prayer requests for S, words from her mama:
- NO MORE APNEA INCIDENTS. This is HUGE. If she has another one it could set everything back a lot... not to mention they are terrifying.
- That the cultures would continue to grow NOTHING and stay that way until their "final day" of testing (this is as far out as 5 days for some).
I got a quick update from her mama that yesterday was an awesome day and she has great news to share - so your prayers are working!! Thank you so, so very much! Please also continue to keep S's parents in your prayers as this has been such a challenging time for them. <3 And some sweet, sweet pictures:
