another cute little guy, only this time a blondie! he was very cooperative and so strong for being a whopping 7lbs! (i think he makes his dad proud!)

thanks “k” family!

this little guy is absolutely adorable and made my sam look like such a big lug!


we suffered through the heat yesterday for joey’s newborn session and a few with his big sisters too! i think mom and dad will both agree with me that it was sooo hot. and with a one week old, a two year old, and a four year old it wasn’t going to be easy, but i think the results paid off! see for yourself!

don’t their parents make some really cute kids?!

for those of you who didn’t know me before i got married almost 4 years ago, i use to waitress at an old italian restaurant in monroe. i loved waitressing so much that i did it for over 7 years. anyhow, the owner, a second generation italian man in his 70s would greet me and many of the girls by saying “ciao bella”.  i never knew what it meant until about 5 minutes ago when i decided to google it. i knew ciao meant hi or bye, but had no idea that bella was italian for beautiful. now that i know i think it is the perfect title for this sneak peek. everything about sweet little bella is most definitely beautiful.

just one for tonight of the super sweet newborn i got to meet this morning!

more to come tomorrow!

check out all the gorgeous hair on this two week old! sam is so jealous (or maybe that’s just his momma!)

i can barely believe my baby is already a whole month old!


i thought my blog readers might like to see sam’s birth announcement!

yeesh! people think that just because sam’s mom is a photographer, there should be more than one picture of him on the blog so far!
i mean, come on, he is 9 days old already!!!

the truth is that i have been slacking. i would rather be holding him than editing pictures of him. luckily this afternoon my mom took jack and i decided to multitask.
i found out i can hold a sleeping baby and edit at the same time.

sam truly is a chunky monkey! i took him to the doctor today for a follow-up and he already weighs 10lbs, 8 oz. lets just say he is a great eater!

more of sam to come soon! i promise!

in case you haven’t heard…we are now the proud owners of baby boy #2…samuel robert skinner! he was born last tuesday, june 8th at 3:57pm. he weighed in at 9lbs, 9 oz and 20 inches long. we are completely smitten over him, especially jack, who is constantly wanting to love on his little brother.

like probably many second time moms, i was a little worried that i could never love another child as much as i did jack. well, the instant i saw sam, i knew i was wrong. he is absolutely perfect and such a sweetheart! i could just hold him all day long!

here he is at 4 days old!

i’m sure this is the first of many pictures of sam you will see in the upcoming weeks.
