baby thoughts.

By | Personal | 10 Comments

watch out world, it’s a double feature! welcome to the gallery page lesley & michael and stephanie & jason! i’m so glad we got these shoots in while everything was beautifully green and sunny!

ever since jayci’s baby shoot i feel like all of the sudden babies are a bigger part of our lives. i’ve talked to more new moms and pregnant gals lately than ever before. this does not mean i am getting baby fever. so matt, i know you’re reading this, you can take a breath now. it’s still a scary thought for someone like me who cannot make dinner without something boiling over or go a day without hot chocolate, tiny dill pickles and some kind of cheese.

like many couples, matt and i talked about little ones before we were married. we agreed on a number and a timeline and that was the only serious conversation we had about it. subsequent conversations have involved: how crazy a child would look with matt’s eyes, my cheeks, matt’s torso and my legs; how, as an infant, little altmix will sport some kind of a diagonal fauxhawk and finally how we will trick him into liking good food at a young age. when i say we won’t have kids for a while it’s because we shouldn’t- at least until we find better reasons and stop betting on whose nose he’ll get.

just a few of my thoughts from today.

baby jayci!

i met becca in college. she was a few years older than me and awesome which meant i immediately wanted to be like her. we were friends. i remember her encouraging me during a rough stage of my life and how she led by example- overcoming when life threw a bit of discouragement her way. i remember spring break my freshman year when her fiancé adam sent her flowers to our beach house in florida- i knew i wanted to one day be in a relationship like that. when becca and adam were married it was an awesome day and it made me realize how unique and personal (and stylish!) weddings could be. when becca told me she and adam were having a baby we immediately made plans for a little photo shoot. having never photographed a little one before i was totally nervous for, oh, nine months. baby photography takes a special someone and i dove in blind, shocker. moving on. the one and only baby jayci was born september 17, 2008 and i had the great pleasure of meeting her just twelve days later for a couple of pictures. even though this was more of a personal shoot i wanted to share a couple with you- meet the lovely stanley clan

i got to know lesley while hanging out with her as she performed her maid of honor duties at anna and jason’s wedding. she kept everyone laughing while making sure everything was perfect for anna- now it’s her turn! lesley and michael will be married in april and no doubt anna will be there for lesley just as lesley was for anna. that’s what best friends are for!

last thursday, after scouring atlanta for gas, we took off for thomaston, ga for lesley and michael’s engagement session. we met at michael’s family’s home for a more personal and intimate shoot. as we explored the property we found out that michael is a probation officer and lesley is a high school teacher on her way to law school- the perfect combo for crazy stories! i can only imagine these two regaling one another with stories over dinner, every night, for the rest of their lives. there will be a lot of laughter in their house!
