Sweet Sweet Baby… | Peoria, IL Baby Photographer

02.06.10 Posted in My boys * Peoria IL Baby Photographer * Personal - My Beautiful Family * baby boy * doll baby * newborns

Hi there! Said I’d keep you updated on lil’ J and here he is again at 1 mth exactly!! I can’t believe how quickly he grew – definitely making up for lost time in the womb gaining 3 lbs in 3 weeks and 5 days (weighed him on his due date) – look at those CHEEKS!! (Boy does not miss.a. meal. lol – but I don’t mind because feeding him is just one of the best things in the whole world about being a mommy!! ♥) He is just so so sweet. Yesterday his “big brother” (man it’s weird saying that about my *baby* B who is now 3 1/2) said, “Mama, you can call J “booboo” now because I’m a big boy”…um {melt my heart} much? We called him Benjamin Booboo, Benny Booboo for so long. He and J’s other big brother are still doing well and loving their baby brother more and more every day - quite the welcome change from when I had our second and #1 felt like he didn’t want to share mommy and daddy (doh!) Sheesh it sure is a blessing to be the mama of these boys…I am so thankful for them every single day.

On another note - been receiving inquiries for the 2010 shooting season already wahoo!!! I’ll be starting up again in June (unless you have a session pending from 2009 due to a cancellation from bad weather etc. OR for another reason) I’ll be officially booking come April 2010 except for births and newborns (I’ll need to know when your due date is etc.) Due to baby J this year bookings will be *LIMITED* this 2010 season so please inquire asap in April for your outdoor session June – October. As always I’ll be shooting mainly Friday and Saturdays. Well, that’s all for today – hope you’re enjoying your weekend. Need to go and use the rest of my *alone* time to shower. (Yes, glamorous huh? {{sigh}} the life of a mommy, I love it so much!! ♥)

Until next time!!

Baby J is here!! | Peoria IL Newborn Photographer

01.10.10 Posted in My boys * Peoria IL Baby Photographer * Personal - My Beautiful Family * baby boy * doll baby * newborns

Here he is!! Introducing our new son – Jeremiah Michael – born 12.31.09 @ 7:59 p.m. 7 lbs. 0.2 oz. 19 3/4 inches.

We are so excited to share little Jeremiah with you! He ended up being born at 36 weeks and 2 days due to polyhydramnios (waaaay too much amniotic fluid for no apparent reason (apparently about 10 lbs of extra fluid?!? – mommy measured 42 weeks at 36 weeks yikes!) and via emergency c-section due to cord prolapse (because of all the fluid, the cord went before baby J and that was NOT good!) All is well now and baby J is as sweet as ever! I can hardly believe he’s 10 days old already today. Recovery is slow but going well and his big brothers are overjoyed to have him join our family. The day I came home and they arrived from Grandma’s they sang him a welcome song (totally improvised which made it unbelievably CUTE!! lol), shared their lovies with him (and made sure he had his), gave him kisses, danced around for him, and brought all kinds of things they thought he needed (b/c we discussed it earlier) like 20 diapers from the drawer, baby blankets to keep him warm, etc. etc. Really my heart is so full - God was so faithful in answering our prayers (some in a slightly different way than I expected) but in the end He knows best and hindsight being 20/20 – He really did have everything under control (duh!) – but it’s just so neat to see how everything worked out. I’ll have to post on that another day, though, because now it’s time to rest again.

Here’s Jeremiah at 5 days…our little J Bear ♥

Here he is at 5 days and then 8 days. I am waiting for some more goodies to come in the mail (one being a “hiney cover” lol! – can’t wait to use it!! (It was fun convincing my hubs that “yes J needs a hiney cover” – hee hee!! More images to come as I have my very own newborn to play photo mama with yay!!

Thank you again for all your prayers and love – we are overjoyed with our new son and are so thankful for him and all the joy he has brought our family so far. I hope you are having a wonderful winter so far (I’ve only experienced it from the window lol) but it looks beautiful! Until next time!

Merry Christmas Everyone!! | Peoria IL Photographer

12.21.09 Posted in Personal - My Beautiful Family

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you are all well! We have so much to be thankful for this year – our family, friends, good health, amazing clients, and so much more. I just wanted to share our Christmas card with you for 2009. I am so thankful for our family images that my friend Shellie Benson took – definitely wanted to share! We are still waiting (praise the Lord!) for little J to arrive as I will be 35 weeks tomorrow. Ended up having a nice little hospital visit last night after contracting every 4-5 minutes but thankfully the 64 oz. of water (and MANY prayers thank you!!) were able to space them out and Iwas able to come home to rest in my own bed and on my own couch. For those of you who don’t know I am dealing with excess amniotic fluid this pregancy so have been measuring “term” size since 33 weeks along. Baby J still needs cooking though so we are trying to keep him in there as long as possible!! I am still standing strong on my favorite verse for this kiddo (Jeremiah 29:11-13) – God has been so good to us and we continue to trust in Him throughout this pregnancy!!! I am now on modified bedrest (in writing haha) but really have been taking it easy for about a month now. :) Christmas will be low key this year, obviously (b/c of my restrictions), but as we are teaching our precious little boys – the very first Christmas didn’t have lighted Christmas trees, round the clock Christmas music, decorated cookies, or LOTS of presents anyway…it all started with the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are so blessed that God sent his son to save the world from sin…born in a humble stable and placed in a lowly manger…that was the first Christmas. There was no Santa Clause – but the spirit of hope, love, and great joy which spurred the person of St. Nick was there and now we have the great love that people show in his spirit of love and giving to loved ones and people who need it most. There were beautiful angelic voices and gifts from the wisemen to celebrate the Christ Child’s birth (which is where our little family gets our 3 present tradition ♥)…what an amazing love we were shown by God sending His only Son to earth to save us. I usually get emotional now especially being a mom and thinking of what sacrifice God made in sending His son for us – a precious little baby boy who one day would grow up and die on the cross for my sins (wow!!)…obviously even more so now I as I am carrying our third precious little boy (what a gift!). I think of Mary and what she went through, putting God’s request and the salvation of the world before even her own feelings as mother…what a wonderful wonderful reminder of the huge sacrifice made on all of our behalves! This Christmas I pray that you find the peace, love, joy, and most of all the tremendous HOPE that is truly found in Jesus Christ alone. Thank you again for a wonderful 2009!! I cannot wait to see what 2010 brings!!

Also – one of my all time favorite Christmas songs…give me chills everytime (Third Day’s version esp.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKX3eyYuJ9c

Love and Blessings to ALL as we celebrate – have a beautiful beautiful Christmas everyone!

(I’ll be back with Baby J pics as soon as possible!)

Here’s a couple to start with incase you haven’t seen (both of baby J bun “in” the oven lol

A time to give thanks – Peoria IL Photographer

11.25.09 Posted in Personal - My Beautiful Family

Hi there!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Thought I’d post quickly and share some things I am thankful for – especially as Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday wahoo!! (I’m writing early b/c I have lots to do for the big day!!) I really like to take time to focus on Thanksgiving…careful not to skip over it and hop right to Christmas – it’s so tempting though because really Christmas is my favorite holiday!!

My 2009 ♥ List…

1st and foremost my life sustaining relationship w/ the Lord…and what His son Jesus Christ did on the cross for me to make that possible. I would not be who I am today…or have who and what I have (peace, love, joy, faithfulness, gentleness, goodness, self-control, patience) today without Him…Thank you LORD!!!

my sweet/awesome/loving/hardworking/loyal/faithful hubby!!

my adorable, loving, irresistably cute boys!!

precious baby J on the way!! (9 weeks LEFT – can’t believe it!!)

my amazing, beautiful, fun, and such a blessing to me CLIENTS!!! (you know who you are!)

a warm home to live/sleep in, food to eat, clothing to wear, an amazing church and church family, the ability and resources to home school and raise my boys and watch them grow and learn, amazing friends and family to lean and depend on..and best of all share and enjoy life with

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand to save us all some time (because I could write for three hours straight - I’ll stop here ! I am truly and deeply thankful for my photog bestie Shellie B…(HI SHELLIE!!! I ♥ YOU!!) She was so awesome and took these amazing family images of my wonderful little family and what can I say? My mama heart is jumping for joy! I finally have images of my very own family to cherish forever. It’s such a blessing to capture other people’s families…their love, joy, and connection captured forever for them to enjoy as the years go by. (Yes I agree - my job totally ROCKS lol!!) Just like the shoemaker who didn’t have any shoes I often found myself thinking….”aww, I wish I had those moments of my family” and now I do!! There is nothing like knowing I have that precious moment (like when my little one takes my cheeks in his hands and plants a big kiss right on my lips and says “I wuv you mommy…so much!” (can you say SWOON?!? seriously) is finally captured forever…because hard as I try and vow not too… I might’ve forgotten – and that made me really sad. I really wanted that moment with my little B captured in real time as my heart sees it (so um without flash..b/c that moment has never happened with flash lol) so I could take his little signature kiss with me and remember it forever…and get misty eyed thinking about it like when he’s 10, 15, 20, and so on (okay I know I know, cue the tears!) I have so many photographs that trigger instant memories of feelings, smells, location, emotions etc. but mostly they are of my children and hubby without me in them I really wanted images with me in them for my boys…no matter how I looked because I know that doesn’t even matter to them right now and won’t later either – all that will matter is how much I loved them and the time I spent with them. (Okay now I really am crying..{sniff!})

So yes, we all know it’s so much easier to be behind the lens vs. in front of it – but trust me – it’s so worth the effort to have a professional non-traditional (as in “sit and say cheese”) family session done. The amount of joy it will bring to your heart as you glance (or stare haha!) at the special moments that characterize your family and what makes it unique is truly immeasurable!

Here’s to love, joy, hope, being thankful everyday, and beautiful family life moments and connections captured forever…thank you again my beautiful friend – I will cherish these images forever!!

HAPPY THANKGIVING EVERYONE!!

Little Lovies…♥ | Peoria IL Photographer

11.10.09 Posted in My boys * Peoria IL Child Photographer * all boy

Finally!!! Just a *few* of our boys for you all to see haha (No really there are so many more eeks!) I now know why I have such a hard time shooting “sessions” with my “real” camera of my little lovies. I tend to NOT be able to delete a.SINGLE.one and then have like a MILLION to enhance and love on so it takes me forever!! (Hence the FOLDERS full of pics of them that I need to go in and choose some out of). This is why I really do love shooting with my point and shoot and 20D – takes the pressure off of having to enhance every single one LOL – just load and go baby!! Seriously though staring at these precious faces was a complete joy…I almost cried when I pulled them up having been able to capture “them” at this time in their sweet little lives. As I mentioned, last year my best photog friend, Shellie, was so gracious and photographed my boys for me (and I am STILL so grateful!!) – I cried when I saw those too. She truly captured their joyful and innocent little spirits. I had basically given up and thought well, I guess I’ll just have to take them to Miss S every year since for some reason they do NOT like it or connect with me when I am behind the lens… I’ll admit - I was sad but had let it go.

This year S shot a family session for us (since I have the bump going on ) – and I thought I’d go ahead and TRY a little session with the boys. It was a very busy day, a full out “treat” bribe was in place, and even though it was the night I started having Braxton Hicks contractions (LOL) we had a BLAST and it was so worth the try! The boys did great but even more importantly so, had so much fun! ♥ There isn’t much variety in terms of movement (I couldn’t really go very far lol) but I am so happy with what we got.

These boys defintiely make the quote “The decision to have a child is momentous – it means forever having your heart walk around outside of your body” (I totally paraphrased that) SO true for me. I always wanted to be a mommy and then I had my first baby boy..and it was out of this world amazing. Then we were blessed with our second son, little B, and it topped that. Now with #3 on the way?? I am speechless – how the joy will triple now in our home..I am so very thankful for our boys and all the love, joy, and adventure they have brought into our lives. I love you, my little boys, more than words can ever express…you make Mommy’s heart sing. ♥♥♥

Krista Muskovin - Oh so true Rosie about your heart walking around outside your body, I totally teared up reading that because I can *feel* it. I love these images of your boys. So handsome!November 10, 2009 - 5:29 pm

Kristen - So very adorable! Rosie, you can not even imagine how baby boy #3 will bless your life! Alec and I are so overjoyed for your family to experience what we have been blessed with during the last 2.5 weeks with 3 little boys to share our hearts with. All I can say is God is amazing and so sweet to choose us (and you and R) as parents to 3 sweet little boys!November 11, 2009 - 12:15 am

Rosie - Thanks ladies!! Krista - I loved finally being able to truly understand that quote (read it for the first time in college) ♥ Kristen - thank you :)) We are so excited! The boys are mostly excited b/c they think that one more boy and they'll for sure be able to take their daddy during their regular wrestling matches! lol ♥November 12, 2009 - 9:41 pm

Jennifer Bowman - AWWW!! These are soo cute! :) i love them! <3November 24, 2009 - 2:22 pm

Little G is turning 3! ~ Peoria IL Child Photographer

11.06.09 Posted in Peoria IL Child Photographer * all boy * families

Happy almost 3rd birthday little G!!! I’ve been capturing this little cutie through my lens since…well since he was in his mama’s belly! We go way back ♥ Newborn shots in the hospital, full Wonderfully Made plan, and faithful visits to come and see me and my camera every year! Did I mention his beautiful mama and I go way back too? Yep, all the way back to 1997. I’m 30 so that’s over 1/3 of my life!! lol – well A, I hope you guys love these, I know I do (and yes I am completely biased when it comes to my beautiful/gorgeous/handsome/amazingly CUTE clients!!). Gman has totally stolen my heart – please ask him if I can have it back!!

Also, I know I have been saying this but I really do mean it - I have pics of my boys just screaming “blog me mom!!” (okay maybe not hehehe) I just needed to get these up first so I could mentally and emotionally move on to the next thing haha (thank you prego hormones lol!)

If you’re on facebook you might have seen that this was my LAST client session of the year!! On one hand it’s sad (b/c I’ll miss seeing all of you!) and on the other I am so excited b/c it means that Baby J is THAT much closer to making his appearance and joining our family! ♥♥♥♥ I cannot WAIT to have a newborn around again…the sweet baby powder smells and darling baby sounds…((awww!!)) I still have a list of things to do before he arrives so in that way I am so glad to be able to focus on those things for a while in addition to the other things I get to do on a daily basis. Not to mention sleep – oh sleep, how I love thee!! Don’t worry though I still plan on blogging throughout the winter and hopefully will have some other surprises come spring 2010. Friend me if you’re on facebook you’d like to keep up with what’s going with us! Images of my boys coming soon and hopefully some other creative things I hope to to entertain myself with along the way Until then though – have a great rest of the week. Thanks again to all my amazing clients for a great shooting year – you make my ♥ smile!!!

6 weeks new…{sweetpea} | Peoria IL Baby Photographer

11.02.09 Posted in Peoria IL Baby Photographer * baby girl * doll baby

Hi there ~ Happy November!! October sure flew by didn’t it!? Winter is just around the corner and for us that means many things (staying inside a lot {yikes!!}, the arrival of our sweet baby #3, and for my kiddos? – MORE MOMMY TIME wahoo!!!) Yep you read right more mommy time as I am officially done shooting for 2009 – which means I will be shooting outdoors again towards the end of May/beginning of June depending on the weather (except for my own boys heehee!) and because of baby J’s upcoming arrival my indoor shooting will focus mostly (okay all) on my boys also We are so excited for the holidays and new changes in our family not to mention the fact that it will be COLD soon and all this rain will turn into SNOW!! This should be a really great year for my boys winter/outside/snow wise because they can finally both play outside together for longer than 5 mins {yay!!..let the brotherly memory making begin ♥}.

Okay, on the to the reason I hopped on to blog in the first place lol! Before I sign off for the night (cause I’ll forget!) I want to share these precious images with you. This is baby S…her mommy and I were roomies in COLLEGE!! (Hi J!!! It seems so long ago already! ♥) Congrats to J and M on the birth of their second little one, Miss S – isn’t she just a little sugar bean? I was supposed to shoot her newbie pics at 7 days old but it didn’t work out b/c of sickness (the poor wittle sweetie but don’t worry she’s all better now!) and so we shot some 6 week shots to make up for it (because in 10 years she will be TINY in these images anyway – just look at those beautiful eyes and cute lil’ piggies! (swoon for lil’ baby piggy toes!!)

sdg copyright 09 - do not copy!

I hope you all were able to enjoy the beautiful fall colors and fresh autumn air. I’ve actually been ON the ball and have tons of pics of my boys…just need time to finish them and hopefully I can post some here soon. We actually had a GREAT time shooting a session this fall and I almost cried when I looked at the pics…I was able to capture “them” as they really are – what a happy moment for this mama!! I think taking such a long break (and having another photog shoot their session last year) gave them a good and healthy break from the ”mom’s got the camera out and in my face again” syndrome we were experiencing there for a while. They were happy to go out for a “shoot” with my camera and I and we had a blast!!! (FINALLY!!) And YES the rumor that there are belly pics of me floating around somwhere is true (((blush))) ;) I just need to work on those too and hurry up and share some of them! My beautiful and amazing (and consequently also pregnant!) friend Ms. Shellie B was so awesome and shot a quick session of our family (complete with my belly!) and I am so thankful. ) Beautiful, awesome, amazing friends are such a blessing. Beautiful, awesome, amazing friends who are also photographers are even more of a blessing! I have a couple more things on my to do list and then hopefully I can get to those this week!

It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is up next and then Christmas usually so soon after (if not before in the stores!) - and then new baby brother!! I wish I could slow time down for a bit but it’s being stubborn and won’t let me! Thank goodness for the winter break so I can continue to check things off of my “prepare for baby #3″ checklist – I used to dread winter but now I have decided that I like it – I like it very much.

See you back here soon (with some more images of course) ~ Baby J says “hi!”

Autumn is here! – H Boys Sneak Peek | Peoria Il Photographer

10.25.09 Posted in Peoria IL Child Photographer * all boy

Hi there!! I have a couple of posts to catch up on but wanted to share the 3 H boys with you today – aren’t they great? They are so fun as one of the 11 (yes ELEVEN!) families I know with 3 boys they make me smile because we’ll be joining them in the new year. Little girls are so special and…well..girlie (lol) but boys are so fun too and I just love my little boys. Hubby says my chances for a little girl aren’t necessarily over yet – hmmm (*wink*) We’ll see what the Lord has in store for our little family and just leave it at that!! LOL ♥

sdg copyright 09 - do not copy!

In other news: HAPPY FALL!! I really really love fall – the vivid colors (oranges, reds, and yellows), the smells (cinnamon, spices, burning leaves, pumpkin mmm), and the beautiful crisp air (which means sweaters and jeans!). If summer went by quickly then fall has been a complete blur so far despite my efforts to slow the time down. I hope you are all well and are able to enjoy the beautiful colors gracing the trees and bushes in our towns. We have been busy busy busy as usual with our many activities, homeschool, and of course preparing for baby boy #3 with belly pics by my best and most amazing photog friend (HI SHELLIE YAY!! ♥ ) - and of course the little shopping we’ve had to get ready for little J. I also got to cross one thing off of my yearly goal list (which I am SO excited about!) – starting piano lessons!! We were able to purchase a beautiful used piano from a family at church and my lessons are going swimmingly. I have dreamt of playing the piano since I was a little girl (actually had dreams that I was playing these amazing pieces – it was so COOL!). Photography has been quite an amazing and fun filled adventure for me…but I finally felt I was able to take on something new in addition to that (although I am like… .00001 % of what I could do in my dreams HA!). The boys love to tinker around on the piano so far and we will probably start lessons for 5 yr. old C next year/fall when he reading better and has better muscle control (esp. of that little pinky finger!)

Well – that’s it for today – again, Happy Fall and Miss Dana?! Enjoy your peek - the rest will be ready for you shortly!!! See you soon!

Bellies and Beyond | Peoria IL Maternity Photographer

10.07.09 Posted in Bellies and Beyond - Expecting * families * peoria IL photographer

Hello!! Happy Wednesday! It’s been a great week, I’ve been getting so much done (including a little sleep wahooo!!!) It’s amazing what a plain good old routine can do for one’s life and when I have things set up and in order (including my sanity lol!) I can get a lot done!! Here is my very good friend R and her beautiful (and growing!!) family. She has been such a blessing to me, really God is so good to me in the way of my girlfriends and how much our friendships bless my life as a woman, wife, mother etc. I photographed Ruth’s very first expecting photos with little S there (see her laying on her mommy’s lap?? So precious!) and then her newborn photos before I even went into the biz with my (ready!?!) POINT AND SHOOT camera!! {{gasp!!}} It was then that I was totally hooked! I had this hunger deep down inside to capture the essence of people as I saw them with my own two eyes and with my heart…and I wanted to get as close to that on camera as I could – thus began my journey photograping other people and their relationships/children,etc. Well Miss R – enjoy my beautiful friend!! As always we are so excited for your new addition (another girl!!) to match our three boys Who knows, maybe one of the pairs will end up getting married one day ha!! Hope you have a great day, love you so much my friend.

Sweet {A} 18 mths! | Peoria, IL Children’s Photographer

10.02.09 Posted in 18 mths * Peoria IL Child Photographer * little girl

Remember this little cutie? This is the 30 page storybook I created for her using the images I captured from her birth until her 12th month! What a precious journey it has been with little A. J and B thank you so much for choosing me!! It has been a joy watching her change and grow into the beautiful little girl she is today which is why…(see below!!!) SDG 2 Copyright09 - Do not copy!

I am {ecstatic!} that her mommy and daddy brought her back to see me for her 18 mth/family session!! Oh how I missed them so. I have to admit…I had to post just a “few” of my favorites (*wink!!*) – I hope you love them too, I think they’re just the best! It was a perfectly beautiful evening complete with golden sunshine, giggles, hand holding, tickles, and snuggles. So many perfect K family moments captured forever…enjoy!

Thank you again J, B, and A – See you again very soon!

{{Also – I had an inquiry about the tea party furniture featured a couple of posts back – I purchased it at Target online over a year ago for my first tea party session with two adorable little sisters – we had such a blast! Not sure if you can find it there now, but you sure can try!! Tea parties are just my favorite and I LOVE photographing them (not to mention having them myself!) One of these days I am going to have a real tea party for my girlfriends with real china – hope I can pull that off! Happy hunting – the set is just the cutest and looks great in my basement too!!}} )
