Solomon has been sick ever since we got back from our Lubbock trip and I've been in the full swing of learning mode here with my photography. Refining, experimenting and reworking everything about my business and style. It has been a long weekend and I am starting from scratch to break out of old habits and embrace new. I'm 10 years in and am excited to feel like I should still be learning instead of sitting stagnate in my old ways, it's invigorating once you get past the pride of not knowing it all.
So in the next few posts you will see me working through the kinks of my new editing style, which of course, true to trend, is more simple and natural.
This morning Solomon ate frozen blueberries and as he began to play he snotted up pretty good. He gets really mad at me when he's sick because I wipe his face all day long and so I decided to get some photos without the wiping. He was glad.

My best friend from high school, Hillary, is pregnant with her second baby and is about a month ahead of me! I have loved seeing her and photographing her through her life. Her daughter, Zoe, is filled with life and very enthusiastic about everything! She was very excited about the ice cream that we promised her if she had fun... I enjoyed the ice cream too...

This is my sister, Magen, and her new fiance' Tanner! I have a whole book to write about my sister and how much I love her and admire her strength, but I am tired and need to go to bed. I'll save it for the matron of honor speech at the wedding:)

One of my great friends, Amanda Watson, who photographed Solomon's birth, is two weeks farther along than me with her pregnancy and we decided to swap maternity photos yesterday! We met at POPS in Arcadia and spent some time around there switching out kids and outfits for photos. I am so excited, and nervous, about adding another child to our family. I can't believe that I only have 10 more weeks to have Solomon all to myself! I need to cherish this time with him because it's going to get crazy around here as Silas is born during the last month of school. Josh will be busy with baseball and wrapping up the school year and I feel like I will be on lock down in the house for 5 weeks with a 22 month old and a newborn.
I'm also getting a little more aware of what is going to happen to my body as I prepare for my first natural birth at home. I'm a little nervous about the whole experience and how well I will handle it all, but am also excited to experience something so different (besides the pain of course!).
I also thought that I would stay skinnier during this pregnancy and that is totally not happening. I'm up 45 pounds already and my midwife is not happy about that each time I "weigh in" for her. Oh well, I plan on losing it all again, but that ice cream just calls my name too often and with this increased depletion of energy I have a harder time saying NO!

YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!! I'm 23 wks preggers with my first and am SO excited!!! I got a couple pictures done this weekend and couldn't find anything to wear... I didn't look half as cute as you but it was fun none the less :) Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and please let us know how the birth goes! I am thinking of trying to go all natural at a birthing center... I'm just so scared of the pain this being my first baby... YIKES! You look amazing and don't you worry about a stupid number on the scale! As long as you and your boys are healthy that is all that matters!!!
