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 Photography | Spring is Near, I Hope!

Looking forward to spring photography sessions and warmer weather! I'll have the new StudioRefuge.com website up the beginning of March.

My new postcards have arrived. If you'd like some mailed or emailed to you to pass around, let me know and I'll send some your way: julia@studiorefuge.com.

Here's a link to my Atlanta Parent Directory Phonebook online ad. I'll have a photo ad in their free phonebooks that will be out in several locations around town.

I'll also have my photographs hanging at Hippo Hopp in Atlanta. I'll be available for parties there.

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.

Still waiting....

So much for being on bed rest for two months to prevent our wee one from coming early. I am still impatiently waiting. May I add, huge, swollen, sleepless, painfully waddling and impatiently waiting. I'm 37 weeks, some odd pounds heavier (I will never tell- let me just say the kid loves his cow). He's been measuring 2 weeks ahead- 7.5 lbs this week and head and belly in the 90th percentile, God save me! I'm praying the doctor will whisk me to the hospital at tomorrows apt. to have my Christmas baby. Otherwise, I may cry, secretly hoping that will help the whisking.
We can't wait to meet our little boy! We've even resorted to bribery. A cut of the tax break for 2009, he can cone out and eat the same solid foods he's been consuming in utero- burgers, break and bake chocolate chip cookies. I've tried all the spicy or inducing food possible- egg plant parmesan, red curry, chilli, jalepenos and just straight up hot sauce on everything. He just taunts me with a dance.
Then theirs begging and pleading, swim to the light, are you trying to torture me?

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
