He’s thinking about something deep and profound. Since I’ve spent plenty of time consoling a fussy baby myself, I could understand his parents’ reluctance to move him out of this happy trance-like state. So we hung out in the living room for awhile.

Their dog Dover entertained us by alternating between protective barking and his uncanny ability to find hidden treats.

After awhile we moved into the nursery to take advantage of the gorgeous afternoon sunlight streaming through the windows. I think the giraffe was my favorite piece in these pictures, but this nursery was packed with adorable little odds and ends.

Rich was a champ. He lounged comfortably and barely made a peep while my shutter clicked away.

I loved this little door ornament. As soon as I saw it, this was the picture I envisioned.

It was a pleasure to photograph such a sweet angel boy. I feel so privileged to get to do this job that I love!

We’ve recently started giving Bri breathing treatments for her coughing attacks. The doctor says it’s too early to call it asthma. We were told that local honey would be a good way to increase her resistance to local allergens. It might make her coughing attacks decrease. So I started researching local honey suppliers right before Christmas – way out of season!

I found Deborah online and after reading her incredible story, I gave her a call. She was so sweet! She invited us to come see the bees, or the girls as she calls them and she told us all about their system for making honey. We bought a jar and she even gave us a free sample – a lotion bar made from beeswax.

We were delighted to meet her and learn about beekeeping. We were even more delighted when we tasted the honey that night at home. It was heavenly! Now, usually it takes us a year or two to finish a plastic teddy bear filled with honey. We don’t eat a lot of honey normally. But in the past week and a half we’ve consumed two thirds of this mason jar! It’s that good.

We now eat honey toast whenever we’re together as a family – breakfast, lunch or dinner. Bri helped me take these photos at breakfast this morning. We had scrambled eggs and honey toast. The photo shoot didn’t last very long though. We couldn’t resist eating that honey!

There’s a new section on the main website called, “Backstage.” That’s where you can learn more about me and I thought a picture of me was kind of important. I’ve added and deleted an “About Me” section several times over the last few months. It’s harder than it looks!

It’s always easier for me to be behind the lens. So it’s kind of weird to be both the subject and the photographer!

He seems to be extremely enthusiastic about all things boy. He loves cars and “big twucks.” He also loves to run! It took three adults to keep him corralled from the street. We went to Lookaway Hall in North Augusta for the shoot and had a marvelous time.

Ethan was very serious when we started the session. He wasn’t so sure about me at first.

He needed some Mommy love.

And a froggy friend! Ethan’s daddy found this baby frog and we were all fascinated by him.

After all of that fun, Ethan decided I was pretty cool. Isn’t he adorable?
