This frame was a given to my mom as a gift after Little Charley was born. And the picture in it was the first Foley Family Foto. One of the nurses took Hubby's phone and told us how to pose and she snapped this fantastic picture. Love. Love. Love.

Because all I seem to do is feed Baby, pump (TMI), clean, sanitize, repeat. At least these Grass and Flower drying things are adorable on the counter.

For those of you who know me, know I don't cook that much. This might be from a box, but it's something. And now now house smell delish! And I know this is really 3 pictures. So sue me. 

And I just realized that I put 2013 on yesterday's post. Oops!

My bed was made when I left the room. When I came back, My Finnegan had made his own little bed. Love that dog. 

New Year, New Goals!

Hi Everyone! Hopefully everyone enjoyed a fabulous New Year! I was asleep by 12:15 and it was great. Oh have things changed, considering the last 2 years I may or may not have been up past 3am then continued the celebration after a couple hours of sleep with Mimosas and Bloody Mary's. This year consisted of 1.5 glasses of wine over 4 hours and bottles for My Charley and then coffee 3 hours later. And I wouldn't change any of it for the world. 

This year I have a few goals to set for myself. I will get into some of them later on but one is going to be a picture a day for the entire year. Project 365 will be hard to do every day but I know it will help me further my ability and confidence. Obviously I have a great new model now too.

This is from the ONE photo shoot I have done with her. I'm a slacking mama! Until now. 

I will be ready to do Family Sessions pretty soon too. Well actually I am ready. I'm just not ready to leave my little lady just yet. That's normal right? I mean, she's only 5 week old (tomorrow). Holy Moly I can't believe she's already 5 weeks. Ok, this blog isn't about Charley, I'll stop now. 

Be sure to check in tomorrow for my first picture for Project 365!

Baby Vaughn

Hi Ginger Lovers! Hopefully everyone is over that Patriot's loss from yesterday. What a frustrating game to watch! I saw a very cute onsie that says "I'm told I'm a Football Fan" that I am absolutely buying for Baby Foley. Less than 6 weeks left before the little one is supposed to join us! So exciting! 

This blog isn't about me but all about the awesome people I get to photograph, but I want to share this picture from Saturday. My fabulous Mother and Sister gave us the best Shower. We got some great things from all our family and friends. Baby Foley is going to be one spoiled babe!!! 

The nursery is much more organized now after all the fabulous things we got. But you can see how my belly has popped out so much! And you know I needed to rock a pair of heels! Can't lose that! I didn't take them off until the shower was over and I have to say, I wasn't in that much pain - which keeps me optimistic for after baby arrives.



Ok, now let's get down to Baby Vaughn.  We set up shop in her sunroom, with a heater close to keep baby nice and comfortable. He was only 6 days old when we did this! We moved him around and positioned him and he had no problem with it! I really did have a great time.

Vaughn's Mama went out and bought the hats that you see, and she had all the other props. Our mutual friend was also there and together the 3 of us used different blankets, positions and props. At the end, I like the least amount of props in a baby photo. All the other stuff take away from the baby!  

Baby Dreams are the BEST!

I love how you can still see his belly button a little bit. It just reminds you how new he was!

"You guys almost done yet? I need to go back to being a new born. Thanks!"

Baby Feet!!

This one wasn't posed at all. Little Vaughn needed some Mommy Snuggle time and I just saw how adorable that little bum was. This is one of my favorites. So sweet!

Vaughn and his family are so cute. I hope they have me back to take some more shots of all of them one day!

Newborns are so much fun to photograph, because you can do whatever you want with them! Husband and I have good friends who are due in 8 days (Yikes!!!) and I can't wait to get my hands on Little Mackenzie too, once she arrives. And then eventually Baby Foley. Ours is going to thinks it's normal to have a camera in their face every day of their lives. Kinda like I did, right Billy?! 

Next up is The Mara Family. Here's a sneak peek! Beautiful! 

Have a great week everyone!
