this beautiful family couldn’t have taken it any easier on me. the kids cooperated so well! (rumor has it that they were bribed with bubblegum, but i don’t believe that they aren’t always this good!) i also loved the sun, which we are starting to get less and less of now days.

i also got to use my new blanket which made me very happy! i love how it looks for a family session, so if you want it to be a part of your session, just ask!
i was honored to photograph hayden’s first birthday party on sunday. it was actually more than a birthday party, it was a “celebration of life” as her mom called it. hayden had a very rough start at life. she was in the hospital for over month when she was born. i didn’t get to do her newborn pictures until she was 6 weeks old. her mom also was in very poor health and was hospitalized for several weeks. now they are both healthy and happy!
the celebration was a huge success. the theme was candy land and mom did a more than awesome job decorating. i am pretty positive that everybody had a great time, especially the kids!
my husbands whole family is a little obsessed with nicknames. everybody has not just one or two nicknames, but about ten. so, before we had sam we were pretty sure he was going to be called “sammers”. jack is pretty often “jackers”, so “sammers” just fit. john (my husband) threw us for a loop when sam was about a week old and he decided that samska suited him better. and what better for a middle name, then buddha boo. yep, so we call him “samska” quite regularly. (maybe now you get the whole “pazy’s portraits” thing a little more.)
anyhow, my little “samska budha boo” was 3 months old yesterday. i thought those first three months flew by with jack. this time it really has been like a whirl-wind. (it might have something to do with me only taking a month off work and starting right back into the crazy busy season). i can’t believe how fast it has gone by and i just know that nine months from now i will really wonder where my baby went. sam is such a sweet, perfect baby. he is snuggly, smiley, and “talks” to us all the time. he is a mama’s boy but is really starting to warm up to his dad too. his big brother is still all up in his business, but i think deep-down sam really likes it.
after looking at these you may get where the “buddha” part comes from. 🙂
