Kassidy Reese | 1 Year Photo Shoot

So I know I'm behind in posting pictures and updates on a lot of things, but here's some pictures of Miss Kassidy on her first birthday to tide you all over. I took these this past weekend in Franklin early in the morning. And my child was starving, so this was about all I could capture before we had to call it quits and head to the Burger Bar for breakfast.

And just for the record, I tried my hardest to keep some dang shoes on this child's feet, but she's a country girl, and she prefers to go barefoot.

Now in addition to Baby Walking Boot Camp, we are having Baby Shoe-Wearing Boot Camp.

I have learned a very important lesson for my next kid. Put shoes on them when they don't have the motor skills or attitude to take them off.

I can only blame myself on this one.

Kassidy Reese | 6 Month Photo Shoot

I took advantage of the mediocre weather yesterday and snapped some pictures of Kassidy on her half birthday.

It was overcast but an abnormal 62 degrees outside — in January. Which allowed me to strip my little baby down into almost her birthday suit.

I also set my camera to manual for the first time. If you're a professional photographer, don't laugh at me. If you're not a professional photographer, be kinda impressed. It made me nervous, especially since babies can be smiling one minute and in tears the next, but I'm very happy with how these turned out.

And Daddy did a great job singing to her and getting her to smile and make funny faces. He is a wonderful assistant. And free. Thank goodness. Oh, and Massey helped some too.

All in all, I think these capture Kassidy's personality pretty dang well. A little toot. A curious little toot.

Kassidy's Newborn Photo Shoot

I took these pictures of Kassidy just one day shy of her 2-week birthday.

Here's how it went down.

I fed her so I'd have a happy baby. I kept her awake so I'd have a tired baby. I stripped her down to her birthday suit so I could take pictures of a naked baby.

Then I went outside. And Kassidy woke up. And she was no longer a happy, tired baby.

And poor Brady was in charge of posing her and trying to keep her happy while I snapped pictures as fast as I could. But Kassidy wanted to prove that she was not happy with me, so she peed on my scarf.

"Dang Kassidy!" as Pryce would say.

But, I wouldn't give up, and I think that these pictures speak for themselves. And I know that I will never, ever, ever, ever become a baby photographer. Ever.

Expecting Kassidy Photo Shoot

These pictures were taken by my awesome husband, who laid in grass to try to get the angles I asked him to, put up with his bossy subject (Hi, me!) who was just trying to help him get some good pics, and even listened to me give him a quick 30-minute photography lesson.

The result. I don't think he will ever do this again.

But, enjoy our attempt to capture me at 31 weeks pregnant with our first child. Brady, is of course, the man behind the camera. And I, of course, applied my magic editing to them.

Disclaimer: No dogs were harmed in the taking of these photos. And, no dogs were staged. Massey put her paw on Baby K all by herself. Pinkie swear.

Carly & Eric In Love Photo Shoot

Carly and Eric came out to Franklin one weekend so I could take some fun engagement pictures of them.

They were troopers. For two reasons. 1) Because it was about 110 degrees outside and 2) I was about 8 months pregnant. Which made it that much harder for me to lay in the grass or in awkward positions to take photos.

But I think that given the circumstances, they turned out pretty dang good.
