Baby Madison is kicking off football season right! By hanging out in a Steelers helmet, of course!
Go Seahawks. There, now I feel better. Holla!
This next photo features the handiwork of Braidy Joy. Her hat & cocoon sets are divine!
My favorite image from the whole entire session…baby Madison asleep on one of my chairs in the studio’s sitting area. These chairs have quite a history…but first…just…look:
I am still squealing with excitment when I see that shot…I ran next door and borrowed some fishing line from Seatow to tie to the hat while Mom (Abby) held it up for that awesome elf-ish look. L-o-v-e it!
So…the chair story:
Well, we (B, the kids and I) had been in a studio-decor funk until we spotted these chairs at Home Goods. They are white, leather, they swivel, and they are comfortable. Like, put-your-feet-up-and-take-a-nap-comfortable. The price made me a little UN-comfortable so we just visited the chairs on weekends until one day they were gone! We ran to the other Home Goods and found the set (phew!) but one of the chairs was stained. It was marked down which was good…but the stain was not coming out no matter what…we were indecisive. So again…we visited the chairs. About three visits later and several chair-shopping-trips, we found ourselves back in Home Goods watching another couple check out the chairs. The woman said “I want this, but we need a set of two.” Well, the other one was in the clearance section because of the stain. When that realization hit, I’ve never seen Brandon move so fast. He straight RAN to the clearance section (didn’t stop for a flatbed cart), picked up that (read: heavy) chair in a barrel hug and high-tailed it to the cash register. boo-yah! Decision made. Funny how it takes almost losing something to realize that you can’t live without it.
That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. The kids love telling (and re-inacting) that story.
Dear Abby,
Your daughter is a beautiful, sweet little gift! It was a pleasure to photograph her…such a sleepy head! She made our session a joy, and I thank you for letting me steal a few kisses!
Love, Stacy
