Miss Ellie Nason ~ West Georgia Baby Photography

Just a sneak peek from my session this weekend…

If I had my druthers, I would have every client hang out for a couple of days with me. You get to learn their eccentricities and just observe. (Or they patiently wait while your migraine subsides…)

Can you look at this sweet baby girl and still see the newborn she was??? Can you believe she’s already 4 months old already? And so chubby and beautiful and pink!

Holli still hasn’t forgiven us for not letting her keep Ellie. I’m sure if she could write she would be mailing daily advice on the care and feeding of Uncle Matt’s baby.

Two days and still not enough time. But we will see her at Christmas.

Seriously. Can you look at that face and not say, “awwwwwwww…”?

This last one requires some audio…(blame my mother-in-law)

Back to editing. I have to try and get back to routine after a lovely lazy holiday weekend. But I only have three more weeks until Christmas vacation!

Oh… and we must wrap our head’s around where we will be getting a tree this year. Lord knows I don’t want to be getting it the week before Christmas in the rain again.

And…yay! I get to pull out the Christmas music now. (Pandora rocks by the way. They have TWO Ray Conniff Christmas Stations!)

More yuletide soon…

It’s Not Swine Flu, I Tell You ~ West Georgia Photography

This is George.

George is not happy.

Could it be because we have been sick since last Friday and therefore didn’t go to the City-Wide Yard Sale?

Could it because that the crud seems to have coated his lungs overnight?

Could it be because his sister, who still is running a fever, is cranky and hits him periodically to make herself feel better?

Could it be because his mom, who is also sick, won’t run out to get him hash browns?

Could it be because this means we won’t get to go up to TN tomorrow and see Nana and Paw Paw?

Or could it possibly be because his mom is ticking him off because she gets to use the big camera and he never gets to touch it?

It’s a conundrum, I tell you…

And so it begins anew… ~ West Georgia Photographer

We have so many things changing in our lives. Josh just started a new job in Marietta. He will be switching to second shift soon. Ash is officially a kindergartner. Dharma started middle school. And I must relearn to parent alone.

The last five months have really been a gift…of sorts. I’ve always thought if Josh and I spent too much time, together one of us would kill the other. We tend to be of the opposite mood of the other. The words “energy vampire” get thrown around a lot here, because our moods switch effortlessly back and forth and rarely meet on the same ground. It does have its benefits. One of us is usually happy enough to cheer up the other. Or annoy…

But I have found I was wrong. I love being around him. He is without a doubt my best friend. You would think 13 years together would have assured me of this, but I seem to be a little slow on the uptake. Granted, when he tried to rearrange my kitchen without consulting me, I had thoughts that 13 years was perhaps more than my fair share of  Josh.

We made it. No children were harmed. The house remains intact. And he is gainfully employed again. Not everyone can say this…

So these last two weeks has been a flurry of activity. And we are exhausted.

Nap schedules have been altered to create some much needed work time for me. And the house gets so ridiculously quiet. It has not been nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. And I am getting some much needed work and house work done.

And there was that night we all stay up late so we could replace the cell phones. Apparently,  I feel like I should be able to make phone calls out as well as not sound like a cartoon character. I apologize to Ash’s teachers. The next day was really rough.

On to the weekend…then back to school. Holli and George are a little put out they don’t get to go. But in two years, three of the four will be attending the primary school. I don’t know what I will do with myself and all that time…

P.S.
Big shout out to the newest Nason. Look, Matt & Kendrah, I need pictures to ohhhhh and awwwww over. Get cracking. My new niece’s essence must be captured promptly.

Hanging With The Girls ~ West Georgia Children’s Photography

“Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail hanging down
That wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round

There ain’t nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby that’s what I like”

~The Big Bopper

I adore giggly girls, princesses, posing, running around, laughing, bubbles, tutus and playing. There’s nothing like it. And my eternal thanks to C and D for being such beautiful examples of girlishness. You both are precious. You guys left me with such a smile on my face. And I hugged people. Which is a bit unusual for me, a gal who loves her space (except for my kids, who can hang off me almost whenever they like). There’s nothing like riding a high off a delightful session.

And the eventual truth starts ringing in my head again. I have to start preparing for school on Aug. 3. Oh…It’s going to be great to have them at school and I will hate it just the same. As much as the kids drive me up the wall, they are my smile.

And, of course, I really hate getting up at 6am…
