Adorable Children...

So, I was forewarned that 2 yr old, Nathan would be difficult. I told mom, no prob, you might be suprised. I think she was! Him and his sweet sister, Sophie were angels! Here is a little collection I put together. I think it would look great as a 10x20 with a frame from Saratoga! Hope you like them...

My Little "Arteest"...

Can you believe this? Dude was serious about his painting. Did not crack a smile even once. What a fun activity and great photo opportunity! Boy, do I have my hands full!!!

He is Finally Here...

Nathan is here! Boy, have I walked alot for this baby. My good friends Rachel and Ryan had their son on Sun. He was 7 lbs and 3 oz. 21 inches. A doll! I went in with the fam on sun and visited again this morning. They are all doing great. Scott (my hubby) accused me of being obsessed with pregnant women and babies, but I say, at least I am obsessed with other people having them and not myself. I am living through them!! Here are a few pics of the sweetie.

Should be Sleeping...

but I am posting! Just wanted to share some snapshots I took of our good friend's 3 beautiful kids. They turned out so cute! This is another thank you for helping me out with my secret project!
PS- I am working soooo hard on all my proofing. I will be done with all galleries within the next few days. I actually worked on them all day today (in between wrestling Morgan! and Lily was at a friend's house)

More Holiday Cards...

I got these wonderful paper templates from a designer that does photography work (Photographers email me for link- GREAT blog with FREE stuff!) So, I went to work on some new cards. Can you just imagine these printed on a linen 5x5 flat card??? Gorgeous! And not expensive, believe it or not! I will be posting my Christmas Info soon- I have been slammed and trying to catch up bf moving on!!! Hope you love these- they can be customized totally- endless possibilities.

Fun at Grant Park...

I met Ava, her Mommy (an old sorrority sis of mine) and her Mimi at Grant Park this morning. I really like that park- it is great for pictures as long as you are early enough (or late enough!) when the sun is not shining straight down. ( I will be doing some sessions there for you out of towners- let me know if you are interested) Ava was adorable and so much fun. I loved the way she said "sure" when I asked her if she wanted to walk to the ..... Here are a few little peeks- had a hard picking picking, so I just grabbed a few. Great to hang with you guys today.

Such a Babydoll...

Meet Skyla, a gorgeous, one year old angel. I drove almost 2 hrs to see her and all that terrible atl traffic was worth it. I just cannot believe what a doll she was! Mom, Aunt and Grandmom- I hope you love them!!!

Darling Carson...

Or, should I say handsome, strapping, young man! Carson is a month old and the beloved son of my famous maternity couple. You can see some pictures of them here. They photograph so well. Here are a few shots from their session this morning:

The Uh-Oh Face...

I am reading the comments posted about Morgan's pics below. My awesome cousin, Frankie said that the pic with the bottle reminds him of Meet the Parents when the baby says a-s-s- hoooooole! That is totally the reason I thought it was hilarious! To Frankie- are we related, or what!!!??? Still post your comments- I love to hear from you- Karen

My Sweet Friend, Jessi...

and her husband, Joe are expecting their second son in October. They came over today so I could capture her beautiful belly! She is so gorgeous- don't you think? (ok, Jessi is blushing and cussing me right now :)) Anyways, they were good sports and it was worth it. Hope you like them- you ARE beautiful!

Color or B/W...

Cannot believe how cute this picture of Morgan is!!! I was allowing him to stick his little fingers in bubbles and eat them, so he would stay in one spot! Now, I cannot decide. What do you think?And then, I gave him a bottle of water to "drink"/spill down himself so I could catch the "oh" in his uh-oh!

New Frame...

The Saratoga Frame Co has come out with Chocolate brown as their new color. I LOVE this fluted frame named the Racetrack. This will be gorgeous to put side by side color shots of your kids!!! Maybe over the fireplace? Hmmmm....

A Typical Day...

Most all of you know that I have a beautful 4 year old girl, Lily and an amazing 17 mo old boy, Morgan. My husband opened his own real estate company, Morgan Scott Realty, in April- right as the market was SLOWING down!! So we have a crazy time at the Pillow home. Things have been a rollercoaster. Scott and I are working hard on both of the businesses while Lily is in the Ga Pre- K Program at our elementary school and Morgan is in Mother's Morning out 2 days a week for only 3 hrs. Wow, I cannot function without my calendar these days.

Anyways, these 2 pictures are from the same day. Morgan is a little monkey and I cannot sit down for more that a couple minutes without having to save him from a "situation." And Lily has a full day at school (will hardly fall asleep at naptime) and I get about 45 min of a happy girl until after dinner. This was defintely a wine kind of night!!! Oh, and PS- was trying to wake Lily up by carrying her to the bath. I had to put her down bc Morgan had a suprise in his diaper and the child never budged! I put her in the bed at 6:30.

Just to Add...

Blogger was not my friend last night, so here are the 2 that I opted to leave out so I could go to bed!!

In between loading, I am watch my sweet little boy roll golf balls down his little slide in the backyard. He has been so cute, I just want to squeeze him all day. I just made up a new word: Morgee-licious! Those sweet cheeks and lucious lips- mmmm- love my baby! Lily was a little Lily-licious this morning, as bad as she was behaving. She told me to go away and get off her bed this morning. She did not want to go to school! Then she kept hugging me and saying, " I want to stay with you." It was very tempting not to sit on the couch and cuddle rather than dealing with the crying!! Ok, enough about my cutie pies... I am cooking up the finals on Christmas- Aren't you excited!!???

Lucy...

Here is 2 images from her hospital photo shoot! My BFF's little sweetie. I hear she is doing great, as long as she stays on top of her sleep. Keep your fingers crossed for mama's milk to come in soon, bc Lucy is waiting....

Rushing...

I am rushing to get this post up bf Isabella's mommy goes to bed!!! She is very excited to see her sweet, spunky baby's pics. We had a good time. I think I wore Isabella and her mom out and I think I am worn out, as well!!! Hope you like your peek... PS- I had one more to post, but it would not upload right. Maybe I will add it with the next post.

Random Stuff...

Hello- I have many new visitors and I would like to welcome you!! This blog consists of little peeks from each shoot that I cannot WAIT to share and some quirky things from me! We have learned (or will learn) in the previous post that my BFF, Kelley, has given birth to her second and last girl, Lucy. I will post some of Lucy's "hospital newborn shoot" soon. As for now, here are a few pics of the canvas (THAT I LOVE!) that I received this weekend. I have never been a formal person. When you think of canvas, you think formal. NO, NO- canvas can be formal and/or eclectic!!! Just check out these 2 images:

Also, I pulled this off of a fellow photographer's blog (which I do not think she will mind bc she is the owner of my AMAZING frame company!) I just think is a great gallery. This is an 11x14 as the big one and the others are 8x10's. I think it is great for a Baby Planner and add some of the Maternity pics to it.

Thank you Lisa...

I Love Lucy...

I am in TN right now. I got the honor of being in the delivery room of my best frend, Kelley, for the bith of their second girl, Lucy. Labor was all natural, quick and painful!! Kelley was a pro. I am so proud. I wonder if both of my labors had not been about 24 hrs- could I have done without meds???? :) Uh, NO! But, boy I tried to wait it out.

So here are a few shots- I was trying to stay out of the way and use the ONE window in the room as light. We all know I hate the flash. We are having our "photo shoot" at the hospital bf I leave in the morning. I have a busy week- gotta get back to work!
