Any Day Now...

Ava Leigh will be born, and I know Hannah is ready :)

I met Hannah's parents at church. They're a great family! I got the opportunity to take a few shots of Hannah last week! It was a fun experience. I can't wait to meet little Ava when she comes along....

Scott, Stephanie, & Eliana

I believe I met Scott in 2004. It's amazing how time flies! Later that year I also got to meet his wonderful wife, Stephanie. I actually don't know that I would be in Colorado right now if I had not met Yellow Second (Scott's band) in Virginia that year. I had been to Colorado once before my second visit, but my second visit confirmed how much I loved Colorado!

It's been really great having Scott and Stephanie here. They have always made me feel welcomed...and trust me being many states away from home it's nice having good people like them in my life. In April their little girl Eliana was born. I went to see her for the first time in May. She definitely looks a lot like Scott!

Last week was the first time I had seen her since May and boy has she grown! Scott asked me if I would come over and take some shots of their family! It was a lot of fun and really good to see them. After we were done with shooting, we watched "The Burbs". What a funny movie...I can't believe I had never seen it before.

There were a lot of shots that I liked....so I just posted all of my favorites:)

I have always had a lot of respect for Scott and Stephanie's relationship with each other. It's just nice when you see couples that are so in love with each other. Now that Eliana is apart of their life's you can see the love even more!

































Eliana's bedroom....



Scott and Stephanie's sister created this book for Eliana. It's pretty awesome! It talks about different careers that Eliana might choose one day...including nursing and a musician:) At the end of the story it says whatever she wants to be when she grows up they will still love her. That may not be the exact words, but from what I recall that was the main jest of it. Scott did a great with the graphics!



She already is starting off with a lot of clothes:)

Eliana has so many cute little shoes...

Scott took this shot of Stephanie while she was pregnant.

Eliana was hungry and sleepy after the shots outside. It didn't take long for her to crash!






She did wake back up for a little while, so we got a few more shots:)






Stephanie was trying to get Eliana to laugh...she did crack a little smile in this one!



What an adorable face!

Roo Roo's in town!!

My good buddy, Kristi, was in Colorado Springs for a few days with her good friend, Meredith. Meredith is a singer, she flew over to sing praise and worship at this church in CO Springs. Her name is Meredith Andrews...and everybody should check her out on myspace:)

I drove down on Friday and spent the day there. Kristi and I drove to the Garden of the Gods. I had never been there, so it was cool to finally get to check it out. It was a really beautiful day! I'm glad we got to spend a little time together.





Can you find the Kissing Camels?









We had a few minutes to frolic around in the field!



I like being silly with Kristi (Roo Roo).



Hopefully when I move back home I will get to see more of this lady!



After Garden of the Gods we went back to the hotel. Kristi, Meredith, and myself went to Chipotle. Their burritos never fail to fill me up! After that we hung out at the hotel and watched "Law and Order." We headed to Chile's for supper. Then we came back and continued to watch "Law and Order"...so addictive:) Around 10pm I headed back home.

Today I decided to drive back up. I went to the church were Meredith was leading worship. I'm glad I got a chance to hang out with Kristi a little more. It was nice to finally get to meet Meredith. We both have heard a lot about each other, but have never met.

We all had BIG sunglasses! I loved Kristi's story of where she got her glasses from:) Every time I eat Chinese food I will think of her sunglasses!



They're so cute!
