The Farm Trip-The Budds Fam!

I was super excited to meet Clara's new friend, Heyward James while I was in Charleston. :) His little scowl is the cutest thing ever!

Tara and Justin

Sneak Peek of Tara and Justin's engagement photos... they are super cute together! :) It was pretty easy getting a great shot of them! I will post more tomorrow, I've had a long HOT day.... it's crazy in GA!!

a moment in time.

Sometimes, you go through all these crazy set ups and ideas for photoshoots and none of them ever turn out.. but there are times when just the right moment really helps you capture that "AWW" moment. Well, my baby girl's hair is gone from the sides and her little mohawk will soon grow into long curly hair, but for now, this is a moment in time we must remember. As she lays on Momma's bed and so inquisitively stares at my camera, she reminds me... capture and take in these moments because, they will not last forever.

I love you baby girl.

Clara at the beach

I haven't been updating lately, because I've been trying desperately to stay busy and not sit at home on my computer. Quite honestly I have been trying to stay away from the couch and my computer because I'm slowly counting down the days before Daddy Bear gets home!

Sara and I took everyone to the beach and here's a few of my favorite ones.

Father's Day

First Father's Day we spent father-less... But, I shouldn't say it that way... Clara is lucky to have a great Daddy... and, even from thousands of miles away, he is more supportive than most fathers who get to see their babies everyday. He's interested in what she's doing, loving and caring and super supportive. What more can a girl ask for in a husband, a father and a best friend? We Love You Baby. Happy Father's Day!

Nags head-Bodie Island Lighthouse

Clara loved her new cousins! :) We hung out in Nags Head for almost a week with Uncle Keith and Aunt Nichole and the boys. :) it was cute watching all the kids interact together.. :) she loved all of them!

We went out to Bodie Lighthouse to take photos but the bugs were so bad that I had about 30 seconds to grab a couple shots... then we had to get back in the car... it was awful! :(

Memorial Day Sailor girl!

Happy Memorial Day! :) Thanks Auntie Nichole for my new sailor girl dress! :)
