Atlanta Baby Photography | Bennett 3 Month Spring Photos

I am loving the spring flowers and spring weather minus the pollen.

Here's the latest Bennett photo. I'm updating his blog with new pics too.

He's 3.5 months now. I'll be posting some spring photo sessions soon.

Currently booking weekend sessions at least a month out. May is getting busy quick.

Atlanta Baby Photography | Bennett 2 Month Photos

It's crazy how fast 2 months has passed. My little baby, Bennett, has changed so much- smiling, cooing and interacting more and more.

Atlanta Newborn Photography | Introducing Bennett Ryan Jones

Our little boy, Bennett Ryan Jones, arrived December 30th, 7 lbs 7 oz, 21 inches. Hard to believe he's already 3 weeks.
Bennett's official blog will be babysweetcheeks.blogspot.com, while this blog will remain my blog for portrait photography. I'm looking forward to upcoming shoots starting in February and getting my new website up.

THE HOME STRETCH...

This coming week, I'll begin my 9th month of pregnancy. I was planning to be "officially" on maternity break from photography in December. Our little man was wanting to arrive earlier than expected so, the doctor has slowed me down until he arrives.

My due date was Jan. 10th, but it's looking like he'll be here before Christmas. I am planning on getting back into photography in the late winter/ early spring. I am lucky I am able to do photography on weekends and still get to take care of our little guy/official Studio Refuge model. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement as we wait for his arrival. We are very excited to meet him! In addition to this blog, I'll be starting a baby blog where I'll get to share the joys and sleep deprivation of motherhood.

Looks just like his daddy

I should be packing right now, but....

One last blog entry before we head to Italy on Thurs.
I had to share the latest adventures of Hank and Woody. I also wanted to post some photographs I took this week of the cutest Great Dane in the entire world. (Sorry Hank and Woody, she's pretty cute)

So, we headed to the lake this past weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday at a cabin. It was a lovely time. It started out with a the oddest Chuckie Cheeze style Mexican restaurant with clowns, magicians and phallic sword balloons. (Pics to come.)
Then it was chillin at the cabin, cruising on the boat, with interludes of our friend's breast pump parties. Saturday about 7:30 p.m. we are about to head out for a boat ride to a bluegrass concert and we get a message.

A guy in our neighborhood tells us our dogs are running around the neighborhood. Not anything to shocking. Hank finds a new hole to dig we haven't filled in with cement from time to time. Ryan decides to head down to the house to see if he can track them down after the neighbor can't locate them. He can't find them anywhere in the neighborhood, there are no holes, and the gate is open.

Turns out our neighbor's friend was helping get our neighbors dog in the backyard. Their dog was staying over with Hank and Woody and they were helping us out by feeding our dogs. So the gate was not fully latched and the dogs got out. Typically, they sprint around the cul-d-sac for a few hours and hang around the house.

Hank and Woody decided to blow the joint and make it a guys night on the town. By 12 am Ryan can't find them anywhere. I am up at the cabin worried sick that they had gotten hit or taken. About 2 am Ryan calls me. He is on his way to pick up the dogs. Some guys were up late playing Wii bowling and Hank and Woody showed up on their deck. 

The thing is their house was over 3 miles away and entailed them crossing multiple busy 4 lane roads. They slept off their Sunday runaway hang over and we promptly booked their stay at Camp Woof while we're in Italy for 9 days. Just in case they planned another get away.

So here she is. Check out those grey eyes. Amazing!
