Want to knock his socks off?

May 18th, 2012

Hey ladies,

Want to knock his socks off?

For Father’s Day?

or his Birthday?

or your anniversary?

or your pre-wedding gift?

or Christmas?

or Valentines Day?

or just because you’re crazy about him and he’s crazy about you?

I so wish I could show more from this session. It knocked MY socks off!

Seriously, schedule a boudoir session. I think you will be pleasantly surprised how much fun they are, and how much you will love your images. Even if you think you won’t because you hate your body , and you want to loose ten pounds before, and blah blah blah, think again. Think of how much HE loves your body. I love the line from “Eat Pray Love” when Julia Robert’s friend complains at her weight gain since living in Italy and Julia Roberts says something to the effect of “Tell me when, if ever, have you stood naked in front of a man and he turned you away?” Seriously right!? (It’s not required to get naked for boudoir). 10 years from now you will WISH you looked as good as you do NOW. It makes for a gift he will not forget! Think about it…and email/call me.

The camera loves these two! This is Brant’s sister, her new husband, and their little bundle joining us this September. I got to take their photo when we went to visit last month.

Simon and his new baby cousin

May 16th, 2012

I posted this photo on Facebook a while ago, and thought I’d post it on here too. This is my little Simon and his new baby cousin Cooper. They are 6 weeks apart. I can’t wait to see them be little buddies as they grow. Claire is just obsessed with her “new baby cousin Cooper”. She talks about him all the time. I can’t wait to meet the two new additions (boys) to the Pease side this Summer and early fall!

Mother’s Day

May 14th, 2012

Happy Mother’s Day

To me, motherhood means

- reliving the smallest joys in life, like a potato bug crossing your path

-experiencing the joy of teaching them new things and the way the world works

-always having someone peek in on you in the shower

-the simplest tasks turning into the most difficult to accomplish tasks (dishes, laundry, dusting)

-lots of hugs and kisses

-umleashing a silliness within you that hasn’t been unleashed since you were a child

-the highest of all high JOYS and the most difficult thing you could ever go through

I absolutely love being a mom. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to be. I’m so lucky to have two wonderfully amazing children, and I look forward to our lives together. Thanks to my mom for being the most amazing mom and Grandma any child could ever ever ask for. “The only thing better than having you as a mother is my children having you as a grandmother.” It’s true.I don’t know what I would do without her in my life. Happy Mother’s Day

3 months old

May 2nd, 2012

Stop it right now!

I just blinked, and this is what happened.

My baby turned 3 months old on 4/21

Brant and I joke that we can’t have any more kids because they would all be downhill from Simon. He’s just too perfect!

If I don’t write down just a few things about him here, I probably won’t write them down so bear with me capeesh?

-He is our little cuddle bug. He loves to nurse and sleep and cuddle in the night. He’s happy 100% of the time as long as he is being held. He loves to be held cheek to cheek, and has the softest baby cheeks in the world.

-He started going to bed for the night around 8pm (hallelujah I have my evenings back!). He still gets up 2-3 times a night.

-He weights around 14 lbs

-He got his first illness this past month and had to go to the ER in St George because the instacare wouldn’t see him cause his fever was too high. It’s hard having a body sometimes!

-Brant nicknamed him “The thickness” and we also call him “husky”

-He laughs whenever you ask him in a high pitched voice “Did you poop?”

-He’s really easy going.

- I feel guilty for not taking enough pictures of him, when realistically between my iPad, iPhone, regular phone, and Canon, I take a picture a day. Still, it’s not enough! He’s growing toooo fast!

-Claire is extra extra sweet, kind, and tender with him. She loves to baby talk with him. We call her the “coo-er one upper” cause whenever you coo at him, she has to come and coo equally as much (if not more).

- He has made me realize even more the value of my time as a mother. I have loved this time home with my children. The longest I’ve been away from him thus far is around 4.5 hours. I missed him so much!

-We are so happy to have him in our family and love him with more love than our hearts are able to hold! I just want to burst!

My little cowgirl

…or as she would say it “Cowgrill”. We had a lovely family day at the Thanksgiving Point baby animal birthday party. I couldn’t resist sharing these photos of her first pony ride!

Our newest batch of Family Photos

April 17th, 2012

My photo wall in my living room felt odd to me since there was a new member of our family, but no new family photos with him included. So my dear sweet angelic friend whom I adore more than anything Miss Sarah Knight came to my house to take some for me. We didn’t have a plan, we didn’t shop for outfits (cause who has time to shop with a 2 week old!?). She just graciously came to our house and snapped away! It’s these types of photo shoots that I LOVE! Relaxed, real, lifestyle portraits. I don’t even think there’s one single photo of all of us looking and smiling. No fancy backdrops, or props. Just us, our family, being ourselves in our home. Thank you ONCE AGAIN Sarah for capturing my vision and giving me these absolutely PRICELESS memories I will cherish forever!

(I hope you don’t mind Sarah that I didn’t even hardly edit them if at all! They’re even gorgeous out of camera! Cause who has time to edit with a newborn?!)

I was having a “My roots are like 2 inches long and I’m not sure whether to wear my hair up or down” day.

Sarah is so thoughtful! She gave Claire a funny Valentine, and Claire took it quite literally.

Yes, Simon is nursing in these photos. News flash America: Breasts have more than one function! Nursing a newborn is natural and beautiful. Look how precious that babe is all cuddled in getting his nourishment!

I also love the ones she captured of Brant and I, just hanging out being us.
