My Little Preschooler

August 25, 2010

Tomorrow Josiah goes to his first Meet the Teacher Day at school! Yesterday was his third birthday and he is so excited about being big and going to preschool. Even though it’s only 2 days a week for a half a day I can’t believe we are doing this already! My little man is growing up so fast!

Today he had a big boy hair cut, and then we went outside to enjoy the weather (it was in the 70’s in Dallas today!!!) and play on the playground at his new school. I intentionally had him wear his new Preschool t-shirt for some pictures so I don’t have to try to take the pictures tomorrow or Tuesday when I will most likely be crying. 🙂

Our baby boy Josiah at one week old. He was one of those newborns that stayed quietly awake for long periods of time even as a newborn. So sweet!

That smile that melts my heart!

How We Roll

August 19, 2010

Yesterday Brian and I were at our church/Brian’s work in Grapevine for an amazing video and photoshoot for the FC women’s ministry, Flavour, and their upcoming conference! My sweet friend Ashley drive up from Waco the night before to stay with the kids in the morning since we had to leave before 5am for the shoot (thanks Ashley!). Around 10am Ashley left and I brought the kids to the shoot with us. Autumn ended up modeling for a bit, I shot some more photos and Josiah “assisted” Brian with video. It was so much fun being there all together.

Brian and I have always tried to have the mentality that our family is our life, and we work with our kids daily. Editing with kids on our laps, having them on shoots, and taking phone calls with laughter (and often screaming) from the kids in the background. Do we turn on cartoons to get work done? Absolutely! Do I cook like I wish I did (like Jamie:)? No way!

But something I have learned is that everyone chooses how they run their lives and their family and this is how we do ours, its crazy, but it works for us and we couldn’t be more happy to have out kids as a part of our business and our everything!

Here’s a few from yesterday behind the scenes, since I can’t share the others with you yet! 🙂

Beehive RainBops!

So Saturday I met with 5 GORGEOUS little girls and their parents for a model shoot featuring Beehive’s RainBop line for kids! It was so hot out but everyone had a great attitude and I had my wonderful sister Nicole there to help me so everything went great! Here’s a little sneak peak! I have so many great pictures of these girls to share!

Aren’t these girls just beautiful! they all used their style guide to really rock these looks! I was so impressed!

Thank you Gracie, Grace, Grace (yes there were three!), Heaven, and Abby! You guys were so much fun to be around!
