Tirzah Nicole Smith (Part 2: I'm HOME!!!!!)

After about 5 days Tirzah was FINALLY able to come home! She is getting along VERY well and is gaining weight... For those of you who have not actually seen her in person (which is MOST of you...) nothing can really prepare you for how small she really is. After spending a good amount of time around her I am much more comfortable holding her, bathing her, burping her etc...

After she was successfully home and 'moved in' those of us that were still here had a little toast (with a MIGHTY fine wine!) and a little photo shoot...

Let's start with just the little one...

She is "Oh SO tiny" in Grandpa's arms...

a little more spice to our mixture... Mommy...

Daddy...

(I included this one because of Grandpa's facial expression... I CAUGHT IT AGAIN!!!!!)

and then... the Whole Enchilada...

and the one that brought Mommy to tears...

TT... I LOVE you but DON'T tell anyone!!! ;)

Tirzah Nicole Smith (Part 1: Hospital)

PLEASE Welcome to the world TIRZAH NICOLE SMITH!!!

To make a long story short... Tirzah was born early at 4lbs. 10.4 oz. She was in the ICN for about a week and from day one was ADORABLE!!!

Because we were only allowed one at a time (with Mom or Dad) to see TT (My nick name for Tirzah) I couldnt get a ton of 'Great' shots... Those are coming in Part 2! :) Here are some of my FAV FAB shots from the ICN...

We snuck this one when no one was looking... :)

Grandma Barr... Look closely to see how small TT REALLY is...

Grandma Barby...

Compared to the incubator...

for posterity...

I am partial but she is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

More shots to come from her first days home!


MUCH LOVE from Auntie Cha Cha!

Jacob & Heather *Maternity*

I have OFFICIALLY decided that my siblings MUST give me more time for their maternity shoots! With Mega I had about 5 minutes, and with Heather I had about 15! LADIES.... next time... MORE TIME!!!! ;)

Heather had super High Blood pressure so we HAD to be really QUICK!!! We used our parent's backyard which is actually a GREAT spot... just don't tell my siblings that! ;)

FAB FAV's...

in the vineyard... (Gotta LOVE the tum tum!)

on the Hammock...

and in the side yard...

Heather was a TRUE trooper... We got done quickly and got some FAB shots!

It truly is a blessing to be able to capture such amazing times for and with your family.


MUCH LOVE!!!

Elegance Harp & Flute

I have been with my family for a few weeks now to spend time with them while Dannie is out of the country and to meet my niece. While I have been up here my Mom and I have actually had TWO weddings together! These were SO fun!!!! This first one I was there simply to shoot her to update her promo materials. They (Harp (My Mom) Flute (Susan)) simply played the prelude and the ceremony and I was able to shoot them! some of my FAB FAV's...

Tim & Melissa *Wedding*

When I first met Tim & Melissa I KNEW that we were going to have a GREAT time! First with their engagement session, and now with their wedding! I had an amazing time being a part of their GORGEOUS wedding! Here are a few of my FAB FAV's... (Now, I try REALLY hard not to include more than 10 images per post but I just couldn't do it this time... bare with me)

Let's start at the FAB Waferer's Chapel

Melissa has inspired me to check out this FAB chapel to see if I want to get married in it... Only downside... You have a VERY limited amount of time at the Chapel itself and it only hold about 50-75 people. But honestly, it's SO gorgeous that I am not sure it really matters...

Since time was limited we headed right over to the Trump National Golf Course to finish after the wedding... FUN FUN FUN!!!

They just knew how much fun we were going to have! HAHA!!!

Let the fun begin!

Ladies first...

and Gentlemen...

these guys were livin' it up! I LOVED it!

Hang on girl!

a few details...

and the Happy Couple...

A few from the FAB reception! They had a GREAT balcony and I got EVERYONE to take a picture for me! YAY! FUN!!!

All in all I had a GREAT time with Time & Melissa! The Wedding was GORGEOUS and the Reception was a BLAST!!!!

Enjoy the honeymoon!

(Two extra... I just couldn't choose!!!)

MUCH LOVE!!!!
