Remember Bonnie? Just so happens that her husband's parents are divorce. I was happy to spend time with the other half of the family (not that I was happy for discord in their family years ago). It was fun to see familiar faces with some of the older children, and meet some new people too.

We met at Memory Grove, along with every other family, photographer, and their dog (literally, the dogs were there too). We jumped around for our spot among other families and here are the results!



I had to laugh at the similarities between mother and daughter. Check out the next two photos, tongues and all.



This last photo was my sweet surprise. Jessi is definitely a photogenic girl, that's not the surprising part. I almost discarded this photo. The original was not cropped like this. It was bigger, too much space around her, and it just felt awkward. I'm glad I played around with it a little more because it's now one of my favorites of the day.


Thanks again, Bonnie, for asking and trusting me to spend time with your family!

U.S. Presidents and Baby Nixon


We picked a great day for baby photos. Other baby photos I've done, the baby was less cooperative. Not Nixon. He slept most the time and let us move him around whichever way, right up until the end.

His mom and I laughed that we both ended up naming our babies with last names of U.S. Presidents. I think they're both pretty stellar and bound for great things!

 
(I remember that yellow stripe on the diaper. When it changed colors I was so quick to change his diaper. Now he goes awhile.)



 Jackson came with me, and he did pretty well with the baby too.
