Prayers: edited

are needed for this little guy as he has his reconstructive surgery today. Please keep JJ, Kimi and Scott and the doctors in your prayers today. JJ will look different from the outside once the surgery is over but still has a long road ahead of him as he waits the for the surgery to repair the roof of his mouth in December. After the surgery he will be in arm casts for 10 days because he is not allowed to suck on anything. He will be fed with a tube in his mouth and cannot have pacifiers or anything to suck on, so please pray for them all during their ten days after surgery as well, I'm sure that will be a trying time also. I will update with his progress once I hear something.

Josiah's surgery went really well. He looks like a different kid, but he's the same happy little guy that he was before. He has a long road ahead of him so if you wouldn't mind keeping him in your prayers that would be awesome! Thanks!

Storyboards

Here are two storyboards that I made with photos of Olivia and Naomi. These girls are so sweet that I just couldn't stop looking at their photos, so it just made sense to put all the great shots into one image!

Infant and Child Photography - Matthew and JJ

Our good friends, Scott and Kimi, were in town for the Memorial Day weekend and we had a great time hanging out with them and their boys. Naomi and Matthew had a great time together and did pretty good sharing the toys. Of course Naomi loved little JJ and wanted to hold him and play with him lots.

Little JJ is three months old. He was born with a severe cleft lip and palatte. He is an amazing little boy though. He learned how to eat right away and has never let this special need of his slow him down. He is so sweet and has such a great personality. He smiles a lot and loves to coo and talk. What a sweet little boy. He's having surgery on June 9th to reconstruct his lip and I wanted to help Kimi and Scott remember this time because all too soon his smile will change. But he'll still be smiling!

Matthew is almost two and such an awesome kid. He can throw like a big kid and turns every object into a bat or golf club...amazing. He is super cute and loves his little brother so much. He's a mover and a shaker that's for sure. Watch out ladies. This kid could be a model...if he sat still :)!



Eeyore is VERY important to Matthew. He is well loved.

Infant and Child Photography - Olivia and Naomi

I was contacted by a friend from highschool about photographing her daughters while I was still in town. I was so excited for the opportunity, not only to see Sarah again and catch up but also to photograph two sweet and very cute girls. Olivia is a little younger than my Naomi so they had a great time playing together. Olivia's little sister Naomi is one month old. She slept for a little bit but then showed us her big eyes as well.

Thank you so much Sarah for allowing me the opportunity to photography your very adorable girls! I had a great time playing with them and I hope I captured some great memories for you!

Infant Photography - Lily

I'm not usually this neglegent with my blogging! I do apologize to the both of you who read this blog. I have been in a little bit of a standstill and am waiting to get out. I went to the San Antonio Bridal Fair today with my friend Kari who is getting married at the end of April. I went for somewhat selfish reasons but also had fun helping Kari talk through her wedding and get more info on DJ's and Tuxes. I wanted to see the photographers...and I was not dissapointed. There is a lot of talent out there...and rather than let it intimidate me, I'm going to make it motivate me and give me the kick in the pants that I need. I so desperately want to photograph weddings. I want to be creative. I want to capture these special moments in people's lives for them. So, in honor of getting motivated I wanted to share some more photos with you of my sweet niece that I took over our Christmas vacation. Thanks for looking! oh and by the way I LOVE comments and constructive criticism, so bring it on!

Sweet Lily Grace

Infant Photography - Lily Grace

I'd like to introduce you to my niece...Lily Grace. Lily was born on Halloween to my brother and his wife. We were so excited to get to meet Lily when we went to San Diego for Christmas. She's a petite little thing but very strong and very happy. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and Naomi and Micah love having another cousin. I took a few shots of Lily while we were there but have only edited a few. I'll share some more once I get them done. Enjoy this sweet little girl!

Merry Christmas

I pray that you are having a blessed Christmas and that your New Year is incredible as well. This year has been an interesting year as far as my business goes. I took some time off after my little guy was born and have gotten back into the swing of things recently. I am hoping to capture more and more memories in 2009. Please let me know how I can help you record your memories.

I'm currently looking into building my Senior photography and would love to find my senior ambassadors soon. I also would love to photograph many weddings this year so if you know of someone getting married please consider pointing them in my direction! I will also be available for a limited number of sessions while I am in the Milwaukee area at the end of April.

I will be taking off starting Dec. 24th until January 10th. If you need to get a hold of me while I am "away" please feel free to email... jamie (at) jtphoto (dot) org.

Merry Christmas and may 2009 be filled with many blessings!!!

I will leave you with some photographs of my children for the family Christmas card!

Infant and Child Photography - Naomi and Micah

I love when the mood strikes us for a photoshoot and the weather cooperates! We had a beautiful day last Tuesday so I took the kids outside and started photographing them. Micah tried to eat the grass and leaves and Naomi didn't really want her photo taken but I think I got some great shots. Here are a few of my favorites from our mini session!

Just had to share

...a couple of photos I took of little Micah this morning. He is truly a happy baby and doesn't fuss very often, but when he does you know something must be up. I love capturing these memories!
