Aiden 9, 10 and Halloween

admin — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:07:47 +0000

So I apparently never got to posting all of the month photos I did of Aiden! Whoops! I was busy playing catch up with the slideshows and if you were friends with me on facebook then you saw my albums, but not everyone is (and if you use my business email to friend me you get my dog’s facebook….yep, she’s a crazy one! but you can friend me if you want!). So anyway, here’s months 9, 10 and halloween! I’m going to post 11 and 12 tomorrow, promise. I took them….and then after he turned a year I slacked off and have a bunch that need editing. Whoops!

9 Months: this is when he really started to take off walking! He took his first steps the month before, but he really got the hang of it by 9 months

10 months: running.

Halloween:

Because it’s been awhile since you’ve seen Aiden….

and he found the shutter button….so here’s one of his “pictures”

I don’t think I’ll be taking him with me anytime soon but he is quite adorable!

Aiden Months 6, 7, 8

Ok, I totally dropped the ball. Our house got hit with the flu (well everyone but Aiden) so I was out of commission for longer than I wanted! But here’s more adorableness for you to look at, I have a few sessions and a wedding to blog too! But I can’t believe my baby was ever this little! We had a ton of fun with him

Aiden….a catch up post

admin — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:26:29 +0000

Oh my, you’ve heard me TALK about him but you’ve barely seen any pictures of him! I think after 3 months I kind of forgot about this all! Well as you’re aware, there ARE pictures. And lots of them. My facebook friends must think I post too many (feel free to friend me, I don’t bite!) But here’s months 4 and 5! I’ll play catch up with the rest over the next few weeks, I mean, he’s almost 11 months…WHERE HAS TIME GONE?!

Month 4:

Month 5:

Happy Anniversary to Me!

Aiden 3 months

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:21:12 +0000

I know, I know, you just saw Aiden at 2 months yesterday! See I can still work a camera And blog. Didn’t forget how to do that, just never had time from a needy baby who wanted to be held or eat or sleep on you and couple that with a husband who isn’t home all the time (I can’t wait for school to be out!) and there you have it! At 3 months Aiden got chunky. He left the 0-3 month clothes behind and went into 3-6 months where he stayed for a few short weeks before moving onto 6-9 month stuff. Big boy. He tipped the scales around 15lbs. He stopped rolling over because he was too chunky and got stuck. He did it a few times but not a lot! Just more tummy time and bumbo time.

Aiden 2 Months

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:18:17 +0000

Uh oh. I totally SLACKED on these blog posts! I know I know, you’ve been waiting to see how adorable Aiden is. He’s SO chubby now. It’s ridiculous. I’m going to post the 3 month photos tomorrow and then next week he’s already 4 months! I’ve started back doing sessions now and have lots in the works so look out for some more great posts! I can’t wait to show you and introduce you to new awesome clients and such! So at 2 months, Aiden was still rolling from his belly to his back, he went through the growth spurt from hell for 2 weeks where he wanted to do nothing but eat and refused naps! He woke up several times a night and even went through a phase where he didn’t sleep unless he was held which was exhausting. BUT he did start smiling and that is so much fun to see! And he started reaching and grasping for toys! here’s Aiden!

More to come!

Aiden 1 month

admin — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:00:35 +0000

Oh my, I’m SO behind on these posts! The first month with Aiden was a lot of fun and had a lot of tears. There’s things no one tells you about and how hard it is. And well the sleep deprivation. In his first month Aiden woke up every 2 hours at night to eat. We had trouble with breast feeding but luckily overcame them with some help of a lactation consultant and patience. And some wine. He was awake A LOT his first month. There’s a host of things that no one talks about that I won’t burden the blog with but you can imagine and if you’re a new mom and want to talk, I’m here! Just email me. But without further ado here’s Aiden at 1 month!

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:00:56 +0000

oh my how the last month has flown by!! I never got around to sharing Aiden’s newborn photos that Jessica and I shot in late December!! I’ll post more now that things have calmed down a bit!

Kara

Introducing….

admin — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 18:17:44 +0000

If you’ve noticed, I haven’t been around much and I have good reason…

Aiden Michael was born on 12/24/11 at 2:06am. He’s our little Christmas present and is sure keeping us on our toes!

Forgive me if I take a bit longer to answer emails (I’m trying to get back to you within 24 hours!) but don’t hesitate to contact me! I will get back to you! And if you’re looking for a wedding photographer, I’m happy to talk to you via email, phone or even skype, we can also work out a meeting.

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday and new year! I’ll be posting more photos of our little man and also the best of contest. So be on the lookout!

Kara (and David and Isabelle and Aiden)

Me!

So I completely forgot and well was a bit busy to put these up but every year I make David do a photoshoot! I tell him it’s good practice and I love having new pictures! This year was more about me because well, you know, the whole pregnant thing! I know I haven’t talked much about it but I’m due January 3rd so just right around the corner! I’ve been trying to coax the little guy out for about a week now but he’s not listening! I had Jessica who’s my 2nd shooter 98% of the time come and take these (and I did some headshots for her too, I’ll show you soon!) and I love them! She’s going to do a guest post here soon so be on the lookout! I’m sorry the bog has been quiet, I’ve been preparing for the baby to come and doing all the not fun behind the scenes stuff that isn’t shooting like taxes and organization and backing up. It’s not a blast! So without further ado, here’s me, in all my pregnantness, I’d show you a picture now, but it’s like I’m smuggling a watermelon out of the store. Yikes! I have a couple more sessions to put up for your viewing pleasure and yes, we will still have the end of the year contest Don’t worry!

Kara

(and yes, I’m posting this as a hope that I do in fact go into labor, every single time I’ve posted a maternity session, the baby is born within a couple days. ::fingers crossed::)

coming clean….

admin — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 01:17:30 +0000

First you get to see Isabelle, isn’t she cute?! Sorry she’s been lacking on the blog, she’s been busy sleeping and playing frisbee much to stand for photos for me! And I’ve been working pretty hard!

Ok, now that you saw her, you see what’s up! I’m pregnant! I’ve been in denial for a couple of weeks that no one could tell (despite me having to wear maternity pants, which are the best thing ever really) and that I just looked like I strategically gained weight in my stomach area…well, the dog’s out of the cage now! There’s no NOT realizing what’s going on We’re very excited to welcome a new something into our lives and for Isabelle to be a big sister (we even made a shirt for her, HA). I’m due 1/3/12 and can’t believe I’m almost halfway through! In a little over 2 weeks, we find out if it’s a boy or a girl or puppies. Isabelle is banking on puppies. What does this mean? Not much except I’ll be on kind of leave from mid-December-sometime in March(?) But it’s cold then anyways and I’ll finish up weddings well before my doc tells me I have to and there’s not much in change right now, all that’s changed is that I eat more often and drink more water! And all holiday urgent orders for albums and such should be done prior to that anyway (more coming on the dates those will be due!). So that’s all I have for you tonight!

Kara

Still here! Some updates!

admin — Thu, 12 May 2011 01:04:46 +0000

Hello everyone, I’m still here, and just busy with emails, consults and scheduling stuff! It’s AWESOME out for engagement pictures and I’m happy to have several coming up (and an amazing one to blog! You’ve seen part of it on facebook though!). I have ONE spot left for a 2011 wedding and am starting to book 2012, I will only take 20 weddings on each year so prime dates are going fast so email me! If you want an engagement session, send me an email and we’ll get you all set up as well!

For your viewing pleasure, Isabelle, still be adorable, hiding in a sea of pillows, it’s like where’s Waldo only with The Belley! (forgive me, it was taken on my iphone…don’t worry, I won’t shoot your wedding with my iphone )

I promise more! If you want me to cover anything in posts, go ahead and ask!

Happy Birthday Miss Isabelle!!!

admin — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 21:56:14 +0000

So you all know I love my dog way too much. Yes, I celebrate birthday and the ever important “gotcha-day” too! Yesterday was Isabelle’s made up birthday as we don’t really know when she was born but we knew right about the time that she was so we made it March 1 to make it easy on us! Easy it is! I can’t believe my little puppy is already 2! She’s kind of a chunker because of winter but slimming down fast now that she can run and not slip on snow! Her favorite things include: nylabones, frisbees and food in general. I baked her a cupcake for later that night and even sang her a song (much to my husband’s dismay). She also got a delicious can of Wellness instead of just dry food, lucky duck! And of course, fun new toys!!! You’ll see what she does most days…eat, play, sleep. Best day ever.

I love my little ragamuffin! So without further ado, here’s some images from the day, some aren’t in focus, some are, I don’t care, I love that dog even if it got a bit blurry!

Puppies!

admin — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 04:02:25 +0000

And maybe some people…a few weeks ago I wanted to do a session, just something as the dog and the husband were not willing to budge much on the whole thing. HA. So Anna contacted me and said they needed some more pictures and while we attempted to get pictures of everyone and then the dogs just weren’t having any of it, and it was cold out so we got some funny ones of each of the dogs! The brown dogs (also known as the brownies to Anna) are available for adoption! One is male and one is female, both are pretty docile and would be good in a house that doesn’t have young kids as they are a bit older! If you’re interested in adopting one of the sweet things, email me and I’ll hook you up with Anna!

I promise to be back soon!
