A.J. took his sweet time to make his big arrival into this world, arriving several days after his due date! But, oh, wow! He was worth the wait! I have worked with this precious family for several years photographing A.J.’s big sister, Kaitlyn. It was such fun going to their home on Friday and seeing the joy that this little guy has brought into this family. And, A.J. is just a beautiful baby….seriously beautiful! I could just squeal from happiness at the results of our session. He was a little angel at the session and did such a great job at only 4 days old!  I know that you will enjoy these photographs as much as I do….how can you not be filled with joy? 🙂

In his Daddy’s arms…

A cute little smile of a 4 day old baby!

And, I saved the best for last! You should have seen A.J. and Kaitlyn’s mommy and myself doing a little happy dance after this shot. We KNEW it was magic! 🙂 Congratulations to Staci, Alan, and Kaitlyn! So happy for you!

Warm Thoughts for a Cold Day!

February 11, 2011

I know. It is cold. It has been snowy! My goodness, it was 13 degrees here at my home in Lakeland this morning! But, just remember that this is just a season and it won’t last forever! The older I get, the more I have come to appreciate the true seasons of weather we get to enjoy in Memphis. Not everyone gets to have that. I am learning to embrace it. And, that way, when the spring arrives, I appreciate it all the more. And, just to remind you that it’s not that far away, I wanted to leave you with a few of my favorite spring pictures from last year. All of these were taken at the end of March or very first week or so of April. That’s only about six weeks away and it’ll be here before we know it! And, as a plug (I’ve gotta add the plug!), don’t forget that we will begin scheduling for outdoor sessions taking place in March, April, May or June on February 22nd! If you are already on our mailing list, then you will automatically receive information about this next week. If you aren’t and would like to be added, send me your email to julie@117photography.com and I’ll make sure you get added! Happy Friday ya’ll! Here’s the taste of things to come!
