Thinking of Aunt Linsey

December 11, 2009 – 10:05 pm

A special photo session today as we are thinking of our sweet Aunt Linsey.  She is currently on her way to her next overseas deployment with the US Air Force in Afghanistan.  We know her and Uncle Jake both strongly believe in what they do in service to our country but it still can not be easy to be away from your family and friends, especially at the holidays.

We discovered that Aunt Linsey is a wonderful cuddler when she came to visit us at the hospital.  How thankful we are that Emiana made her arrival before Aunt Linsey’s deployment so they could enjoy some special time together.  Our Air Force teddy with these dog tags were a gift from those visits.

Aunt Linsey,

We’ll be thinking of you and praying for you and your comrades as you serve to protect us.  Thanks for making sacrifices everyday.  We’ll do our best to keep some up-to-date photos on the web so you can watch your niece as she grows and hold her tight when you return.

Come Home Safe (and Soon)!  All of our Love,

Hal, Sarah, and Emiana

Day 6 in Pink {Mommy Photographer}

December 11, 2009 – 5:22 pm

This was our first official little photo shoot.  Our struggles with feeding, sleeping, and weight gain have kept us going back and forth to the pediatrician and the lactation consultant nearly everyday.  So, I was beginning to get a little down that I had not yet had a newborn session with my own daughter.  We decided to make it a priority and hopefully you enjoy the results.

Introducing our Little Princess.

November 28, 2009 – 11:18 pm

 

Miss Emiana Rose Boyd

To our Friends and Family,

As many of you that follow my blog know, we (Hal and I) have waited for this little girl to come into our lives for some time.  On November 27, this dream became a reality.  Emiana came into the world with such wonder and amazement that we couldn’t believe this had happened.  She was born at 5:25 am, weighing 7lbs 13 ounces, and was 21 1/2 inches long.  This baby has already brought so much joy to our lives in the short time that she has been alive.  She reminds us of the times we spent praying and hoping for her and makes us think of all the sweet and precious times that are yet to come.

 

We would like to thank you all for your prayers and support of us in the past and for all the years to come–Sarah, Halbert and Emiana

Beary Adorable Connor. 6 months. {Springfield Baby Photographer}

November 25, 2009 – 5:32 pm

 

How adorable is that?  Connor’s 6 month session included his “beary” adorable Halloween costume, a fall set, and a holiday set.  We were able to capture so many different looks both indoors and out.  On the day of the session, Connor really wanted to be serious but his Momma knew his sweet smile was in there somewhere and she worked her magic.

Sweet Emme. 3 months. {Springfield Baby Photographer}

November 25, 2009 – 4:24 pm

Not a lot of time for chatting today but I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to share photographs of this sweet girl.  Emme decided she really wanted us to work at her session but we still managed to get some precious shots despite her attempts to hide behind her hands.  Our session included a set up for the Fall and for the holidays.  I think Emme’s nap made her holiday shots even more adorable.

Erica Pom {Springfield Teen Photographer}

November 16, 2009 – 11:07 pm

As mentioned in my previous post, I was privileged with the opportunity to photograph a gorgeous family from Tulsa.  It got even better when in planning our session Erica’s mom mentioned that she would like some pom photographs of Erica, who is a sophomore this year.  We then discovered that Erica attends my Alma Matter, Jenks High School, located South of Tulsa.

I absolutely loved my time with Erica and think she is a beautiful young lady.  It felt like one of those “full-circle moments.”  In high school I would never have imagined owning my own photography business yet I found myself remembering the challenges and the rewards of being a student at Jenks High School.

Erica,

I hope you find something that you love to do and live your life passionately.  Your confidence and inner beauty shines through.  Thanks for sharing a few moments with me,

Sarah

Honored by Session with Tulsa Family {Springfield Children’s Photographer}

November 16, 2009 – 4:24 pm

I can hardly even describe how excited I was when Michelle, the momma of these lovely children, contacted me about a session.  This family lives in Tulsa and she had been following my blog and said she just loved my style.  Needless to say, I felt pretty honored when she arranged for a session, with me, in Springfield.  In addition, her children were small the last time they had a session together.

I was feeling the pressure on the morning of the session and hoping to give this family some wonderful photographs of the siblings together.  It was a chilly morning but these kids were troopers and we had a great time together.  I knew before I left the session that the shots we captured were something this family could cherish for a long time. 

Erica, Clayton, and Spencer-thanks for being such great troopers and Michelle-thanks for making me feel so honored.  You have gorgeous children inside and out!

Blog-A-Thon

November 16, 2009 – 2:05 pm

Well, the blog is one of the many things in my life that I have been getting anxious about being pulled together and up-to-date before my pending maternity leave.  Blame it on “nesting” or any other pregnancy term you’d like to, I just want to feel confident that all is settled so I can focus on our daughter when she chooses to arrive.

So, the goal today is to post several times between editing and fulfilling orders.  Hope you enjoy!  Hal and I, along with the help of our tripod and wireless remote, took these photographs at the end of September when I was 30 weeks along in my pregnancy.  I have more recent photographs to share but this was a wonderful day at the beautiful Japanese Stroll Gardens in Springfield and I didn’t want to move on without posting them.

Baby Brayden. 10 weeks. {Springfield Newborn Photographer}

October 28, 2009 – 12:55 pm

I first met this little guy when he was 10 weeks old.  He was a little older than most newborns but his Mom didn’t want this stage to pass by without some photographs to remember his sweet baby face.  I had to be quicker than usual cause Brayden was a mover and shaker who was not interested in being posed.  Mom, big Sis, and I all worked to coax a smile out of him and we managed to catch a few but I think Brayden enjoyed making us work for it.  I think my favorite set of the day was in his plaid shirt that made his blue eyes just twinkle and who could resist those cheeks. 

Brayden’s Dad is an University of Missouri Alumni who played football for MU during his college years.  So, we had some fun working in a few special shots for Dad.  Can’t you just see him being a ball player someday?

Brayden is the fourth child in his family and I look forward to photographing them all together in the future.
