New Year

We had a great Christmas! It was fun to watch Emma walk into the living room this morning and see her baby doll furniture. And then she went running toward it. We made it through the opening of the presents before she got sick. Within a two hour period she went through six outfits. At least she woke up from her nap feeling a lot better. I so can not wait for Dec. 31st. She has an appt. with a stomach dr to see what is causing her to be sick all the time.

I can't wait until the new year. I am planning on doing a lot more pint sessions throughout the year. I am excited on what the new year brings.

Life

Life has been pretty crazy for the past few weeks. We went to Virigina to celebrate Christmas with my dad, we have already celebrated with Kevin's family and tomorrow night is Christmas with my mom. Plus Emma has pretty much stayed sick ever since Ava was born. She finally has her appt with the gastric dr next week. I can't not wait to find out what she has an allergy to so that we can move on. Everyday is so fun with her. She is learning new words daily. I will starting counting to her so that she knows that she is about to get in trouble and little Miss Smarty pants chimes in. I will say one and she smiles and goes "two". Ava is growing up so fast. It is hard to believe that she is already two months old. She is sleeping through the night and is even trying to pull herself up when she is lying on her back.

EmmAva Photography is going good. November was a crazy month for EmmAva. I had beach sessions, Christmas tree sessions and even several other family sessions. I am caught up on everything and I am going to enjoy taking a few days off from everything this week.

We usually go to Atlanta on Christmas to see Kevin's grandmother. This year we aren't going. She can't handle large crowds anymore without it wearing her out and making her sick. So we are going to space out the times that we go up. Kevin's mom will be there for Christmas adn then a few weeks later we will head up there so that she can meet Ava. This will be our first year that we don't have any plans for Christmas and I love it. I am so excited to stay at home in my pjs watching Emma play with all her toys that Santa brings. We are going to watch Christmas movies all day and just take it easy. I am so excited.

Sessions

I am finally finished editing all the pictures from my sessions. I have been burning their disc all night. Tomorrow, I will be adding pictures to the website and to the blog. It feels great to finally be caught up. I am gearing up for the Christmas Tree sessions next Saturday.

My maternity is finally over. It breaks my heart to have to go back to work and leave my girls. My six weeks were filled with sick babies, but I am glad I was off when I had to deal with this. I had the best time with them while I was off.

busy busy busy

I have been busy this week with sessions and I love it. I have been to the beach several times and now I am doing Christmas Tree sessions. I have a lot of pictures to edit and I am hoping to get a lot done tomorrow.

It is exciting to see where EmmAva Photography is going. I have been dying to edit my business cards, my website and my blog for some time now. But I haven't had any good ideas come to mind until today. So I will be working on updating everything this week along with editing all the pictures.

I have had several people not be able make it to the pint size session days due to other obligations. So we will be offering beach sessions again on Sat. Nov. 22nd or 23rd or Christmas Tree sessions on Nov. 28th or 29th. Please email me at Emmavaphotography@yahoo.com to book your session.

Beach shoot

I had the opportunity of photographing this little boy the other day. It was his first time going to the beach.

Hopeful

I am very anxious for Ava to get here. I want to get back to taking pictures. I have so many photo shoots planned for Emma and Ava. I can't wait until the November pint size sessions. Me and Kevin had Emma dedicated at Tybee near the lighthouse and I love the part of the beach. We pretty much walked the whole beach looking for the perfect spot to have her dedication. We are already planning to have Ava dedicated there also. Oh, how I will Ava would come already. I have been taking several long walks every day trying to help her along.

I have been working on some specials for EmmAva Photography today. I came up with a few for now.

I will be mailing the post cards out by the end of the week.

I am also working on some Christmas Card and birth announcement designs.

November Sessions

I am planning on doing some pint size sessions at Tybee and some pictures around the Christmas tree in November. I am excited about these sessions and I am hoping to be able to take Emma and Ava's pictures at both so that I can get Christmas cards with them on it made.

I am excited how well the word is spreading about EmmAva Photography. I take pride in every session that I do and I pray that it shows in every picture that comes from it.

I will be posting the details about the November sessions soon.

Family and Friends day

I am so excited about how well Friends and Family day went. I had the opportunity photographing 12 great families. I am excited about how well every session turned out and how much everyone loved their pictures. I can't wait for the chance to do another set of sessions like that. Here are a few pictures from that day.

frustrated.

I ran into Target with Emma today to get something for Kevin and that is when it all started to go downhill. Emma decided to put her arm through the back of the buggy and get it stuck. She started screaming at the top of her lungs. I finally got it out and decided to just leave. We paid for Kevin's wire and came outside to see security standing by my car. That is never a good sign. Someone hit my car while I was in Target. I don't know how she did it, but she did a good job. Her headlight was busted and my bumper was pushed in some and she even hit the rim of my tire. Now I have to deal with insurance and trying to get my car fixed. Something that a 7th month pregnant lady doesn't want to do. I am still going on my shoot tonight just hoping that my blood pressure with calm down somewhat. We will see how it goes!

so happy

I am so happy with the response I have gotten on the friends and family sessions. I mailed out postcards last week and I only have 5spots available. I think that I have finally gotten my website up and running. I am moving full speed ahead.

On another note.. .Emma is growing up so fast. It is hard to believe that she is already 15months old. She has so much attitude it is not funny. She can now say mommy, daddy, nana, nanny, nina, doggie, bye, hi, thank you, yum yum and a few other words. Her favorite word is mommy. She will call my name at the top of her lungs while I am sitting beside her. We are going tomorrow to get her first hair trim (well bang trim). I am not ready to cut any length off yet. It is also hard to believe that I am going to have another baby girl in less than 3months. I can't wait.

EmmAva Photography is open for business

I am excited to say that EmmAva Photography is starting off really good. I mailed postcards this week for Friends and Family sessions and they are already halfway booked. I registered my domain name and put in an order for a website template. I was tired of saying that I was going to start doing photography...
