Ive never been very lucky. I don’t win contests. I don’t win on scratch offs. I fall quite a bit, and my hair looks great only on the days I have nowhere to go.

But I lucked out when this family won my referral giveaway. Beautiful family. Sweet little girl. And an adorable baby bump. This family of three and a half was all I could have asked for! We headed out on quite possibly the most hot and humid day in Texas this summer. We picked the lowest point in Navasota (as in NO breezze) to take pics. Hey, I told you …I’m not very lucky! So we got a little sweaty..ok a lot sweaty…and we got a little red in the face. But we got some great pictures. I had a hard time choosing which to post. They all scream love and connection and unity. They all scream FAMILY!

Watch for a post about my new referral program! Its all kinds of great.

they have the prettiest dogs! here is one…. adorable right?

I just sat in the hospital bed and watched him sleep. I thought to myself, nobody will ever mistake Sam for a girl. He just looks like a boy. He has boy hair. That was my favorite thing. He has boy hair. To this day, only once has a stranger asked me, “how old is she?” and it was my own fault because he was wearing “tights”….sigh…My grandpa calls them “tights” and he says they are not meant for boys. But I’m here to tell you that babylegs are made for boys and Sam pulls them off quite well. So there!

Sometimes little newborn boys look like wrinkled old men. (and my love for wrinkled old man babies is just as great) But baby {b} reminds me of Samuel. He doesnt look like Sam…but he looks like a boy. He has boy hair.

He didnt even cry! Thats what I told my husband when I walked in the house. I was covered in sweat. My makeup was gone. Im sure my hair was a sight! It was so hot…but so worth it. Baby {c} didnt cry. Not once. He smiled a handful of times. He grunted here and there. He only wet my blankets once. Thats way below normal….

Photographing newborns is such a joy. I always feel like Im walking on clouds when I get done. They are just so squishy and perfect. They ***almost*** make me want another. almost.
