Better Late than Never !

Time... where does it all go ? So many pictures, so little time.... We recently took time to catch up on Rome's monthly pictures and boy were we happy we did ! Here is the handsome devil in all of his glory. Enjoy !!

The Mirror

This was a gift to Caroline and Nathan Frye when they welcomed Rome into their lives and hearts. Several people had asked about the "Mirror picture", so I am posting this pursuant to requests.

I call it... "Into the Looking glass"

Laiken Mabe Maternity

Nothing is more precious than witnessing life in all of it's raw stages, especially the stages of a new life. Laiken was a beautiful model and will be a wonderful mother to little boy Aiden. Aiden, it feels like we know you already. Laiken, we're very anxious to meet little Aiden and capture his first images with you.

Our First Christmas Shoot

We had been anxiously awaiting our first Christmas shoot, and we weren't disappointed. First off, we were lucky enough to get to work with Malorie, who has to be one of the most adorable little girls I have ever met. She was sick, and yet blissfully happy !! As you can see in the images below..... Christmas came early for us and her parents. Thanks for choosing Captured Moments Photography to capture your first Christmas with Malorie !!!

Covington Maternity Studio Shoot

I was recently introduced to Lura and immediately started talking to her about maternity pictures. She is a beautiful pregnant girl. Lura is 8 1/2 months pregnant with her first child. Have you ever heard the saying that a picture tells a story? Well Lura's pictures tells a story unlike most. Lura's husband Caleb is in the Army and is stationed in Iraq. This is his 3rd tour. He was last home in April of 08 and it was only after he returned to Iraq that Lura found out she was pregnant. So Caleb has not been able to see his wife through this pregnancy in person. During a recent conversation about what he wanted for Christmas he told her that all he wanted was a professional picture done of her pregnant. So this is where we come in to play. We had sooo much fun doing this shoot. We brought out all of the props so that we could capture her beauty in a way that was special to him. We were so happy with our results. Lura was absolutely adorable playing tribute to Caleb and the service he is giving to our country with the flag and his dress uniform. The baby is due soon and Caleb will be getting an 18 day leave. We are all hoping that he gets home before his son Zachary Caine is born but if he doesn't get here in time to see her at least he will have his picture of this moment captured in time. Lura thank you so much for allowing us to share your special story and Caleb thank you for your service to our country.

Our baby girl turns 2 !!!

If you had told me two years ago that I would have a little girl of my own, I would not have believed you... definitely overjoyed... but yet very skeptical. So when the fates shown upon us and God blessed us a second time around, this time with a little girl.... I thought I was dreaming. The kind of dream, where you wished you would never wake up. On February 7th, 2007, Gray and I picked up our little girl, and prayed, (but somehow knew in our hearts), that she would be ours forever. I can't even possible begin to tell you how many people our Genesis has touched in her two years. I can however tell you that everyone who knows and/or has met her... has fell in love. There is no denying that Gigi, as we call her, has something special. She's stubborn and moody like a normal 2 year old would be, but just take one look in those baby blues of hers and you see the magic and creativity and life that she brings out in everyone.

Thank you God for bringing her to us. Thank you Gigi, for opening our eyes even wider to how special life and love can be.

Baby Rome's First Fall

Baby Rome is growing like a weed, and you will probably be seeing more of him to come since he is one of our "Baby's First Year" babies. That and my partner in crime is his "Mee-Mee". So we really aren't shy about pulling out our lens(s) when he comes around !! Here is Rome Alexander in all of his glory !!

My Baby Boy turns 6 AND goes to Kindergarten....

Do you remember how you felt when people would talk about their children getting older and how old it made them feel ? Now... do you remember thinking.. what the heck are they talking about ? THEN.... 10 - 12 years later it hits you and hits you HARD. It hit me today. Michael turned six and as I watched him walk into his school for the first time without MOM.... I cried. Partly because he is my baby boy... but partly because I remember doing the same thing. It seems like yesterday that I made the walk into kindergarten, with all the new faces, new colorful posters, new smells (crayons, disinfectant and new paper....) Fast Forward... and I am meeting my sons for the first time ages 2 & 3... and now he goes into kindergarten...and then I think to myself... I am getting old.
