Emiana. 6 months. {Mommy Photographer}

Emiana. 5 months. {Mommy Photographer}
May 22, 2010 – 10:13 pm
At five months, Emiana enjoys bouncing in her jumperoo, being outside and eating grass, babbling, and trying lots of new things. We had a fabulous time on our first visit together to Silver Dollar City.
This month we also celebrated my first Mother’s Day as a mommy. We enjoyed getting dressed up and heading out to eat at Nonna’s, one of my favorite Italian restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together but found myself still somewhat heavy hearted. I wanted to be a mommy for a long time before we were finally blessed with Emiana and, during that time, Mother’s Day was definitely the most emotionally challenging day. I realize many people, including some we know personally, find themselves in the place where we were just a short time ago. Hang in there and know that although it often feels like a lonely place to be that others do care deeply for you and are thinking of you.

Well, our little girl is just blooming into her personality lately. She makes us smile and laugh so much.
This blue dress and hat were Emiana’s Easter outfit for this year. I’m sure the day is coming, but right now she doesn’t mind all her hats and bows except when she’s riding in her car seat and they migrate down over her eyes.
Our little photo sessions don’t always go as planned. The blooming photo above was one I wanted to try. However, it had to be immediately followed by a bath as our girl started getting rather blotchy. It went away almost immediately but I think I’ll just cherish this shot and not try it again. Don’t you just love her little swirly bellybutton?
Emiana. 10 weeks {Mommy Photographer}

Sharing some current photographs of our sweetie! We pulled out the equipment for a little session this past weekend. It was also a fashion show of sorts since we are now completely out of the newborn size. As I was preparing the photos for this post, I looked back at some photos from Emiana’s first week for comparison. I’m with her everyday and it is still hard to believe how much she has changed already. We’re just hoping her eyes stay blue like her Daddy’s. Only time will tell.
It’s about time

It’s about time that I got back to business around here and it is quickly piling up on me. However, before I move on I wanted to share some photographs from my time at home with our daughter, Emiana. These photographs were taken about a month ago and she has changed so much since then.
My husband, Hal was able to take six weeks off work to be at home with us after Emiana’s birth. I can’t even begin to explain how incredible it was to have him with us and how much it meant to me. Although I’m beginning to feel more adjusted to life as a mommy, it has been far more challenging than I imagined. I’m so blessed to have such an amazing partner and daddy for our girl.
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.

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
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.
