Congrats Jill and Brandon!

June 9th, 2008

You may remember this gorgeous pregnant girl from a few weeks ago…

Well, she’s not pregnant anymore! Today she gave birth to a gorgeous and healthy 7lb 2 oz baby girl.  Cameron James.  She came almost 3 whole weeks early.  We didn’t have her newborn shoot scheduled until the second week of July!  I think we’ll have to move it up!

I can’t wait to meet her!  Congratulations Jill and Brandon!!!

Brayden is 3 Months Old!

May 16th, 2008

Well, he was 3 months old this past Monday, but it’s hard to find time to fit in a little photo shoot now that I’m back working. I was really excited because I found this old garage in an alley on a walk last week. The house is going up for auction and will probably be torn down so I wanted to get a shoot in before that happens. I envisioned Brayden in jeans and a tie with no shirt. But, apparently ties are a chocking hazard for babies. Whatever! It would have been cute. I suppose we’ll have to wait until he’s 1 for that.

Okay, onto Brayden. He’s a talking machine! He can say, “Mama, I love you!”, “Daddy, you’re cool!”, and “Hi”. I’m not kidding. He can really say all that. I know. He’s the smartest 3 month old, ever! He’s been squeaking and talking away more and more everyday. He’s graduated to sitting up like a big boy in his stroller and he loves the wind in his hair. Well, not really because his hair has pretty much all fallen out. And I think it’s growing back in brown. He is a really strong boy and he loves to dance, dance, dance! But, his most impressive new talent is that he can fly! I know, impressive, right? He LOVES to fly! He especially loves to fly over to the mirror and see his friend Layden Little who lives in the mirror. That Layden Little sure is cute! Looks a lot like my Brayden!  He’s been a really happy boy for the most part this month and his little personality is really starting to come out.

Here are the many faces of Brayden Bittel at 3 months old!

Jill, Brandon, and Baby Cameron!

May 14th, 2008

Okay, there’s no baby yet. But, there will be very soon!

Some of my very loyal blog readers may remember Jill and Brandon from almost two years ago when I took their engagement pictures. Well, now they are having a baby girl and I had the privilege of shooting their maternity pictures! Jill is due at the end of June and she looks amazing! Jill was born to be a mom. She is the best auntie to her nephew and she is great with babies (even my own!). And Brandon is going to make a great daddy! We tried to get him to practice changing Brayden’s diaper, but he just observed. I’m sure he’ll get the hang of changing diapers very soon!

Check back in early July for baby Cameron’s blog debut! I can’t wait! For now, here’s the slide show and some of my favorite pictures!img_5951-copy.jpgimg_6110-copy.jpgimg_6184-copy.jpg img_6269-copy.jpgimg_6299-copy.jpgimg_6325-copy.jpg
