Baby Sophie

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Baby Sophie.  What a doll!!!  My friends Lis and Chris allowed me to come out and practice up on my newborn photography skills.  I definitely learned a lot, smiled a lot, and stared in awe a lot.  Sophie was so precious and I just loved holding her.  Lis and I had a bit more excitement than we had hoped for when we tried to get some pictures with her diaper off, and once Sophie fell asleep I felt horrible moving her into different positions.  I've learned from experience to never wake a sleeping baby.  I was also able to snap a couple pictures of their beautiful 2 year old daughter Callie.

Here are some of my favorites...

Outdoor Love { My Husband }

A couple of weeks ago I had had enough!  I won't fill you in on all of the details, but to sum it up I was having a "moment".  I felt so tired and was needing to get away...I mean AWAY!!  My husband sat with me and listened so nicely as I let it all out.  The next day he planned a trip for just the two of us in the North Carolina Mountains.  He booked a cabin for 3 nights for just the two of us.  What you need to know is that J (my husband) and I have never been away just the two of us.  We didn't have a honeymoon and all of our vacations have been with family (we love you family!).  We had never had a night alone since Hudson was born over 2 years ago and it was definitely time.

While we were spending time in the mountains, hiking, site seeing, and eating ourselves into food coma's we were letting go and truly relaxing.  We were both reminded of our love for the outdoors....and each other!  The pictures below are all showcasing my husband on our trip.  I love him so much and don't know what I would do without him.  Thank you J for such a wonderful trip!!!
