Baby Lo is 9 months!

My sweet baby niece is 9 months old. I cannot believe it. Time is flying by and these girls are just growing so fast. Lo lo is the least cooperative, we think, when it comes to photos.. but she still manages to give me a few sweet smiles. Man i just love her to pieces.. enjoy my girl. xoJB




haha this pic cracks me up. she hates wearing hats so as soon as Jackie gets them on her, she rips them off.. and like i said, judging by the look on her face, she’s not happy about getting her picture taken either. lol

Courtney&Jay&baby

So.. I’ve known Courtney since we were in Junior high, tho we didnt become good friends until about 8 years out of high school, unfortunately. However, thanks to social media, we connected, caught up, stayed in touch. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph some of the major milestones in Court and Jay’s lives.. their engagement pics, their wedding (on 6.7.8, fun!), family pics with their dogs, and now.. their first pregnancy. They’re having a GIRL and she’s actually due on my mama’s birthday, thats a good day, guys, lets try to have it then. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I love you guys to pieces and am so happy for you and CANT WAIT to meet baby girl Sotlar! xoJB


FAVE!

Baby Jax

Its hard getting back into the swing of things after a vacation.. and i’ve been meaning to post these sweet images of newborn baby Jax! If you’ve read my blog at all, you’ll know that Josh is one of my oldest friends (since 3rd grade!) and i’ve photographed him, his beautiful wife Jenny and their families a few times now. Let me introduce you to the newest member of their family: Baby Jax. He’s so sweet and was so cooperative. And big brother AJ didnt wanna miss his chance to get in some pics either. Congrats on your newest little bundle, Jen & Josh, he’s sweet as can be. So happy for you both! xoJB
