Motherhood x 3

What was I thinking telling you all that I would blog every day until I was caught up???  Most everyone I know who has three children warned me this one would get me, but I had no idea.  Since my new little man arrived, I have had no more than three consecutive hours of sleep.  He has baby acid reflux, which loosely translates to-he spits up alot-and I mean ALOT.  We both change clothes at least three times a day, and since I am wearing more outfits in one 8 hour stretch than most supermodels, I feel I have an excuse for not posting more than I have:) I hope to take some new pics of Jude and the girls over Thanksgiving break-he's so darn cute, even if he does spit up and keep me awake.

Erin & Jeremy, October 11, Hendersonville

You may remember Erin & Jeremy's awesome engagement session from a few months ago.  They had a beautiful wedding in October and I was so glad to be a part of it. The weather was perfect, and a good time was had by all.

Erin created her own bouquet, and it looked fabulous!









I think this might be my favorite shot of the day.  The officiant pronounced the couple "man and wife," but forgot the most important words of all, "you may kiss the bride"!  Erin had just politely asked him if she could kiss her new husband when I snapped this shot.

Bonnie Kate

You may remember Bonnie Kate from a few months ago.  I did her photos at six days old, and she's 3 months now and cuter than ever!  









I also had the pleasure of photographing the Anderson family.  I went to high school with Mom and Dad, so it was awesome to meet up with them again along with their two beautiful daughters.

Halloween!

I almost forgot to post Halloween highlights! Brady was a jellyfish, complete with lights for a bio luminescent effect.



And Stevie was a tornado-she won "best overall costume" at her school's costume contest!



Jude went as a newborn baby this year, but we will definitely dress him up next year!

Check back tomorrow for highlights from my session with Bonnie Kate and the Anderson family!

Amy & Lincoln

Amy and Lincoln were married on October 4th at Lakeside. I just love these two! You can look back through the archives to see their awesome engagement photos-such a sweet couple. One of my favorite details of the whole day was Amy's wedding band (check out the photo below). She had no idea what her band looked like; Lincoln wanted to surprise her with something special. When the minister called for the exchanging of the rings, and explained Lincoln's choice in wedding bands, I became a teary-eyed mess! Becca was totally cracking up at me. Lincoln was inspired by what I consider to be one of the most beautiful passages in the Bible, Proverbs 31. The minister read this passage, then Lincoln presented Amy with a beautiful diamond and ruby wedding band.

Proverbs 31:10-31 (King James Version)

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.











Love this shot of Amy and their dog, Cash. Yes, he's named after Johnny-gotta love it!








As promised, updates daily until I get caught up! Check back tomorrow for highlights from my engagement session with Ashley and JD!

My Cup Runneth Over...

Say "hello" to the new man in my life.  John  Jude Fitzpatrick made his debut on Monday morning at 11:30.  He is 8 pounds and 10 ounces of pure perfection.  As most of you know, this is our third child-but it always amazes me how, before they are born, you can't imagine what life will be like with them, and after they arrive, how you can't imagine your life without them.  I am so thankful for all I have been blessed with, and I can't wait for you all to meet him!












Check back daily for posts of all I didn't get to show you before he arrived.  I will be posting images every day until I am caught up!  And this weekend, I am off to Nashville to shoot Katy and Scott's wedding.  This will be John's first experience flying solo-oh, to be a fly on the wall!
