Here's the big brother of yesterday's cutie.  This kid cracked me up.  He kept running away from me saying, "How about here?" as he hunted for spots to take photos and thought of poses.  At one point he told me, "okay, now you stand here, and I'll take a picture of you…okay?" and he fully expected me to hand over my camera.  LOL!  Good try buddy!  He was also the best helper when it came time to get some shots of baby Cole.  He did such a good job at getting his attention, and I can tell that he is already looked up to by his little brother!

One of his poses.  I'm not sure which was funnier, this one or the one where he picked up a stick and swung it over his shoulder like he was up for bat!  He is going to be an athlete, this one!

  • Angie - Brody can’t get enough of himself. “Let me see the muscle one mom!” These look just as good. You are truely talented. Even when you were working with the kids, it just seemed to come naturally. Thanks for the sneak peek. We can’t wait to see the rest!

  • Rachelle - Oh Mr. Brody, you are to funny! Gotta love that kid. they look great Megan!

Could he BE any cuter?  Seriously.  Not only is he the littlest baby I've been able to photograph so far (well, besides my own, but I didn't know much about photography back then), he is the newest addition to a family near and dear to my heart.  His mommy and I have known each other probably since before we were even in kindergarten, we ended up being suite mates our first year of college, spent a summer together in Medora, and the next summer after that lived together even after I had gone away to a different school.  It was after that summer she moved away to follow the man of her dreams :o) and we were both the maid of honor in one another's' weddings.  Since then, we have both started a family and gone our separate ways, but we'll always be friends.  I drove away from our session last weekend, thinking about all the stuff we have done together in our lives, and I even have some pretty funny and embarrassing stories I could share, but instead I think it would be better to just share a couple photos of her babe.

I have been dying to get this hat on a baby, and I was giddy when I showed up and he was wearing the perfect little onesie to accompany it.

Tomorrow I'll share some photos of this guy's big brother.  He's such a helper, and we had a lot of fun!  Thanks, Angie for the fun time with your boys.  It was so great to see you all, and we have to make sure it isn't as long until the next time!

  • Kayla - Very CUTE or “handsome” – great photos again! Keep up the creativity.

  • Rachelle - So very cute! I would love to hear some Ang stories! I’m in need of a good laugh today. I have a ton of them and they all make me LOL! One however stands out today, probably because william just brought a book about them out. Remember science class…and MAMA1! Good times! I think she needs to move closer so we can have more of those moments!!
    I made our reservation today for the 10th. my hope is that the kids will nap before our session on saturday. that and check in isn’t until 4 so i wouldn’t be able to get everyone ready either. see you soon!

  • MarysMomma - Your work is fantastic! If you are ever in Maryland / DC please let us know. We would love to book you for a session with Mary.

  • Angie - Oh Megan! I’m about to cry. They look incredible. I can’t wait for Wes to get home to show him. Thank you so much for this. It was great getting to see you. I hope Rory is feeling better. I was thinking about life as well after our session. Where did the time go? Good thing you kept those stories filed away. We can save them for a rainy day. Brody had a blast “posing” for you. It’s all he could talk about. I’ll get busy and post some of our vacation pics on the blog. Can’t wait to see Brody’s pics.

  • Angie - P.S. Now that I’ve seen how cute they turned out I don’t feel quite so bad about trespassing to get the shots. (Fore?)

  • Megan - Glad you like them Ang! There is a reason I’m not above doing something illegal (trespassing) and bribery (gummy bears) to get some good shots! :o)

  • Josey - TRESSPASSING! I didn’t hear about this. I would have turned you girls in. How dare you. How is it that girls can get away with it but I can’t when I am hunting. BS I tell ya!!!

That's what we are.  As I mentioned in my last post, Rory and I planned to head to Montana this weekend.  Well, Friday morning, Rory woke up having a hard time breathing again.  We just went through this whole thing a couple of weeks ago.  She told me, "mommy, I can't breathe," and "I sick.  Go doctor.  Feel better."  Yeah, when your two year old tells you she wants to go to the doctor again so she'll feel better, you know it's not good.  So, I got her in first thing to see the doc.  Two colds in less than a month, both resulting in her not being able to breathe; this leads the doctor to think that Rory has asthma.  Josey and I were not totally surprised to hear this, since he has pretty much the same problem, but it is still scary to think that anything can be wrong with your baby.  And after seeing our nephew go through some rough episodes with his asthma, and having a coworker whose niece died of an asthma attack at age 13, I'm worried.  We plan to get her in to see Josey's allergy and asthma specialist as soon as possible, and I guess I'm just thankful that if she does have it that we'll know what's wrong next time and we'll know what to do.

Cold and breathing problems aside, we still went to Montana, and it didn't keep Rory from having a ton of fun.  And today when we got home, I could tell that all the fun had gotten the best of her.  She is tired.  After lots of whining and crying for mommy, she went to bed early, and I hope that she's off to a better start in the morning.

I have thousands (yes, thousands) of photos to sort through, and not much time to do it in the next week, but here are just a couple of Rory having a little fun on the playground.  Have I ever mentioned how much she loves slides?  The girl could have spent then entire day going up and down this thing.

I have no idea what she is doing here, but it makes for a cute photo.  I love her little belly button.  You can't tell here, but when she was a baby, she had an umbilical hernia that caused her to now have an outie belly button.

Tomorrow, I'm going out of town for a night for work, but when I get back I'll have some photos to share from a fun session I did when I was home.  I didn't even open those tonight because I knew if I saw them I'd be up all night playing!

Rory and I are headed back to Montana this weekend!  We'll get to see all of my family, and one of my good friends is going to be back.  We haven't seen each other for…almost two years, and since then she has added a new little one to her family so I will be coming back with a camera full of cute photos of her boys!

I will answer emails when I get back.  And to leave you with a photo…when I first shot Kayla's senior photos, we had so much fun at our other locations we weren't able to get everything we wanted at her home, so I went back the other night and snapped a few more for her.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm only posting these two, and then I'm done because I don't want to give it all away before you see them in print!  But I did get through them all, and found the ones I want to edit and I had such a hard time deciding.

If you only knew what her daddy was doing to get her to give me this smile!  It even had me cracking up.

And I really wanted to post a baby Jett smile, but I just loved this one too much not to share it!

To all those I owe emails, I'm not ignoring you.  I have hardly been home the last four days, and have not had a chance to catch up yet!
