a break from work

July 14, 2010

Finn seems to have a trend of goodweek-badweek (badweek = less naps, a little more fussy), and we’re in the midst of a fabulously wonderful goodweek that’s been filled with almost giggles and lots of smiles. So as a reward to myself, for Mike and I clearly being such wonderful parents to have raised such a happy baby (this week anyways :) ), I decided to take a break from the weddings to catch our family pictures up to date.

I can’t believe how much Finn changes in such a short period of time.  I’m truly now loving this parenting thing. Not that I wasn’t before, but I know that all the mom’s out there understand what I mean. We had a sort of ten week get to know you period. Now he knows I’m his, and he’s mine, and that’s fun for everybody involved!!

Jagee takes Finn swimming at Nanny and Papa G’s pool. So happy that he was able to go in, and that we have pictures of it. My mom swam here when she was a little girl! Such an important summertime place for our family.

Finn helps us scout out wedding shoot locations :)

Finn and his cousin Ellise. Every time I’m looking at a picture of them, I think, “they’re going to be REAL people someday. What are they going to think about all the crazy pictures their parents made them take together!?”

….and my babIES. Trying to keep Bella as loved as she was before Finn boy came and stole the spotlight.

Back to editing for me! I’m absolutely loving the weddings we’ve done so far. Each has been so unique and special. Two more next weekend that we hope are just as fun!

teaser time!

Here’s a quick little look at what I’m (yes, I’m = Jess does ALL the editing!!) working on between two days of “real” work, a growing baby, and some lovin’ on Mike….

Steph and Jon’s vintage-y wedding celebration from the Holden Arboretum.

Dawn and Ben’s Belgian Waffle Brunch wedding from the Everal Barn in Westerville.

….And Lauren and Zach’s purpley goodness from around Columbus!

June 30, 2010

This weekend kicked off the beginning of our wedding season, and we couldn’t be happier. We had a long stretch between our last (New Year’s Eve) wedding and Friday. And I’m thrilled to be shooting weddings without an extra person in me!

I figured before I flood the blog (because, yes, I intend to blog – in detail – all of our jobs this summer) with beautiful love bird newlyweds, I could give a family update.

Finn is growing like a weed! We’re having more and more fun everyday as the bouts of crying are replaced with smiles and cooing (or a-goooo! -ing, as it were). It’s beyond amazing to see a little personality develop…and then to think about how everyday, every interaction, we’re helping it to be created. I find myself anxiously waiting for his naps and sleeptime to be over to see what new skills he’ll show me, and reluctantly put him down for more rest when it’s time. All in all, life is good!

And now a random assortment of pictures….

Helping Jagee to celebrate his retirement ! And saying hello to Nanny with his cousin Ellise.

Dipping his feet into Nanny G and Papa’s pool!

Where have we been?!? A bit preoccupied, I’d say…..

introducing….. Mr. Finn! We welcomed baby boy into our family on May 4th, and he’s completely changed our lives. It’s been amazing to see him grow and change already in just the short (and I mean SHORT, this month FLEW BY!!) time he’s been alive. Needless to say he’s captured our hearts, and we wonder if there will ever be a day when simply watching him sleep and studying his adorable features will ever get old.

He’s got us pretty busy, but we’ve had time to shoot two E-sessions, a baby shoot, and will be starting our wedding season soon!

Here’s a sneak peak of what’s in store in the next few weeks
