Our Ninteenth Week: In Pictures

This week Ryan went to Las Vegas from Sunday-Thursday for a conference for work. It was his first time away from Boston for so long and he really missed his daddy all week! We spent most of the week watching movies and preparing for the wedding I was going to photograph in Libby.














He got his mouth on Walter and ended up all hairy LOL. Walter likes to do drive by lickings!






With Grandma and cousin Kiley.

Our Eighteenth Week: In Pictures

Yes, this is very late. This was 4th of July holiday. We had a fun and laid back 4th with my in-laws here at our house. Boston LOVED the fireworks. We didn't think he'd really notice or see them, but he was entranced! I didn't get any pictures of him watching them, as I didn't want to use flash and bother his experience. I did get a short video of him watching him though, with the help of the "flashlight" app on Ryan's iphone.


At the Neumans' wedding reception.




He's crazy in the bathtub. He kicks and flails his arms all around. He likes to stand on his feet and push his butt off of his board.


Enjoying the firepit with Grandma before the fireworks begin.

I Know I Sounds Like A...

. So guess what, I've been slacking in the blogging department. I've been so busy it's ridiculous. Good ridiculous.

I shot my first wedding last weekend! I've put in a lot of late nights this past week, but I think it's paid off a bit. I've been thinking more and more about it lately and have decided I need to do something to get my "business" straightened out. More and more people are asking me to take photos for them. I never in one million years dreamed of myself as a photographer. It is a hobby that I love, but never thought I was any better than a hobbiest (is that even a word?). Other people seem to think otherwise. Thanks for the flattery and compliments everyone!

I fancy myself a designer, not really a photographer. Just reading about setting up a small business is making my head spin and I have a business degree! I'm not setting out in this endeavor to make a ton of money. I'm not even really looking to make much of a profit at all, but I know Uncle Sam will want to get his slice of whatever meager pie I get. All I want to do is be legitimate. If anyone reading has any expertise in this area, feel free to sound off!

I've been pretty MIA online and with pretty much everything in life for the past month. Boston loves his sleep, but these days he's only happy if he naps on me. He's fine during bedtime, but during the day he fights sleep so hard. When he finally does go to sleep (on me) he's only happy if he stays there. He can be in a deep sleep and the second a thought even pops into my head to get something done, he's onto me. If I move to lay him elsewhere his eyes snap open and we're back to square one. Don't get me wrong, I love cuddling with him, but I do have things I need to do on occasion.

On another note, I think I'm pretty close to getting his room finished! Ryan cut the board for the shelves, now I just have to figure what size I want the shelves, paint them and install! After the shelves and his Boston picture are hung, I'll get the "done" or "after" pictures up!

Boston: Bouncing Baby Boy Video

Two months after the previous video and I finally get around to editing and uploading the next video in the Boston series. This video has clips from 8-11 weeks old. To view it higher quality click the 360p to the right of the time and select 720p HD. You might have to pause it and wait for it to load. It looks MUCH better viewed in HD, that's for sure.

Our Sixteenth Week: In Pictures

Once again, I hardly took any pictures this week.

Our Fifteenth Week: In Pictures

With Uncle Ricky

Our Fourteenth Week: In Pictures

The photos for this shoot were seriously the only ones I took of him all week! See what I mean about slacking? That and we were all sick this week. It's over 2 weeks later and I'm still playing catch up around my house and projects!

3 Months Old

Since Boston is such a good baby, I had to do something for his 3 month shoot that reflected that.



I was pretty happy with how this turned out. Here are the pictures I composited together.

Our Thirteenth Week: In Pictures

FINALLY!
