Photography- The Finer Family

Warning: Please do not collapse in shock that this blog posting contains pictures of a baby other than Parker and Presley. haha!

So, along with making custom baby bedding I am also now starting to work on photography. :) After having the babies and seeing how incredibly expensive photographers are (and I wanted pictures all the time) I started taking pictures of the babies myself. As you can tell from the blog I love taking pictures (and editing!!) and even more so I love looking back on them! I took pictures of baby Reid and the Finer family last week and had so much fun! I love capturing memories!

Here are some of my favorites of this sweet family!
Side note- as I build up photography pictures I will be creating another blog for just photography.

                                   Baby Reid- just under 2 months old!

Project Reveal

So awhile back I mentioned here that I hadn't posted because I had been very busy in my spare time working on a project. Well, it's finally finished! I took a break for awhile because of being super busy with Christmas. Here it is!                                       Baby Bedding!
        I LOVE this fabric! I bought it in a matching boy fabric. I couldn't help but think how cute it'd be for boy/girl twins!
                                                                   Baby blanket
I am selling on etsy and craigslist. We'll see how it goes! I got really interested in making baby bedding when my Mom made Parker and Presley's. I love picking the fabrics and trim! It is A LOT of work though! Phew!

If you or someone you know is interested in custom baby bedding, let me know. :)

Holding the Bottle

So, the other day they were making me laugh holding their bottle as I looked back and forth between Presley and Parker.
                                 Presley prefers the one sock on, one sock off, but otherwise traditional method..
                                    Parker has some interesting approaches to holding his bottle..
                                                       Presley again....
                                             Across the eyes...
                                        Under the leg..
Haha!
Yes, it is safe to say that Presley was hungry and Parker was playing. ;)

Christmas in Grapevine

Wednesday night, since Eric was off for the rest of the week, we went to downtown Grapevine to see the pretty lights! We will definitely be doing this every year!
  Something about Presley in the bjorn with her big coat and hat reminds me of a penguin. haha!
                                           Snuggled up baby girl!
                                                    

Backing Up

The week of Christmas was so busy I didn't get any time to blog. So, I'm about to back up and post a few of the fun things Parker and Presley did the week of Christmas! :)

My sweet friend Amy brought her two little ones Hailey and Bryson over to play. I have known Amy since highschool. Bryson is also 9 months old. I didn't get any pictures of Hailey but she is 3 and precious!
So the picture below cracks me up. Amy and I were in the kitchen when Amy saw Presley and Bryson head to head. It was so cute! I ran to get my camera but as you can see Presley was getting a little tired/scared of Bryson so close. hehe!
                                        This is right before her somebody help me melt down...
                                     Parker on the other hand can't get enough time with friends!!
Then the next day my friend Lindsey and her fiance Dominik came by to visit! Lindsey now lives in Germany with Dominik. They were able to come into town for Christmas! Great seeing you!
More posts coming...
