I didn't have room for the birthday picture...HAPPY 1ST BIRHTDAY PIPER!!!!!!

Goldie is in the house!!!

Well, I am always looking for different, stand-outish, fun new things to photograph with and on....meet my newest, her name is Goldie!! She is an 1800th century...or so they told me... couch and chair, I love it, thank you so much little Piper for being my little . I feel so blessed to be able to share this new addition with you all. It is a fun new little toy in the Amy Lawrence Photography world... it took some talking into, some times husbands just don't see the value in these kinds of purchases... But us wives have to stick together huh!!! So grab your browns, golds and yellows and come on in!!

Also, isn't little Piper's mom so talented, she made both the floral hair band, tu-tu and birthday hat in these pictures. You have have given your daughter such a memory by making these precious little gifts. Thank you for sharing them with me. Piper's mom has offered them to me, I plan to learn how to make all and share with you... look for those items when I get a couple of extra minutes that I am feeling crafty with!!

Can I just say how blessed I feel to call so many of you not only my clients but my friends. I am so grateful to share stories of babies, spit up, reflux.. you name it with you. I am just so blessed to get a dose of reality, friendship, and creativity every time I step behind the camera. Thank you all who share your little ones lives with me. I am honored to do what I do.

If any one else has a fun crafty idea I would love for you to share that with me. What an amazing gift we can give our child... a home made, heart made gift. Thank you all for welcoming Goldie to the studio, I will keep you all posted of all of her potential and possibilities!!!

God Bless all....

First Christmas Card

I have just completed my first Christmas Card. Congratulations to the Schroeder family for officially being on top of things!!! I am booking up already for Christmas sessions, so let me know if you need in my planner before I book up!!! It sounds so crazy to be saying that in July, I feel like I am still recovering from last season!

My best friend is having a baby

One of the hardest things about growing up is having your old friends move away. I am so blessed to have a network of friends, I think I can go to any state and find a long lost friend... even if they don't want to claim me!!!! It breaks my heart to think I can not offer my big fat hugs kisses and of course pictures on a daily basis, but here is what we were able to get at one of my best friend's shower. Thanks Nikki-knikki! You are beautiful and I am so grateful that I was able to share part of your pregnancy with you. I read this somewhere, I don't remember where, but It will always stick with me. "Pregnancy is that time in your life when you can sit, relax, and be amazinlgy productive all at the same time." So you go , you just sit, I will be praying for you, skinny ankels, good epidural, fast recovery, and good night sleep. Dave thank you for loving my best friend like she deserves! Keep up the good work. Love you all.....

New additions...

We have a new little addition, and I am so grateful to have shared yet another birth with a little miracle baby. Sydney Ryan was born at 4:18, 6 lb 6 oz. I love love love photographing births. I feel so honored being able to capture the look on mama's face as she pushes so hard, then finally gets to meet her little blessing. Thank you Lord again and again for allowing me into that chapter of parents lives. Thank you to all of you who trust me with such an important event. And to all the doctors who allow me to be there. I will try to keep all of my births updated as they come. To anyone who is interested call me and I will explain how it all works. God bless you little Sydney, welcome to our world.

My Vacation Chapter

I think it is so funny to me that some of my clients think that I am able to get all these amazing pictures of my kids when I go on vacation and just in general, but I always reassure them that I have to bribe, threaten, some one always ends up crying, but in the end I do get what I give to all of my clients, a peek into my children's lives at this stage of their life! While I was away I was able to get caught up on some editing, and just enjoyed being away with my children and my family. I have to tell you how truly blessed I am to be able to do that. Thank you all for your business that allows me to go away, and for your patience while I was away. I gotta tell you there is nothing like being on vacation with your extended family. I woke up every morning with a 3 year olds foot in my face and at one point my little Phin man had rolled off of his cot and had gotten stuck under our bed, but that is the fun stories that we are building for our children's memories.
While away I also re-discovered something I already knew. My mom passed down her "CLEAN" trait to my sister and some how I got missed!! My mom and my sister have more neatness in the two of them than I have in my little pinky, so one would be doing our laundry and the other would be on the dishes before I could even finish my food. I woke up every morning to my family's yesterday's clothes washed and folded and put neatly into a little pile on my dresser, does it get any better than that! That is what I call vacation. So needless to say, we had an amazing time, I think I am ready to go again. Mariana tubed for the first time, and Phin man played in the sand and got his first taste of lake water and sea weed... yucky! I am so grateful to do what I do, have what I have, and I pray everyday that the Lord shows me more ways to show my gratitude for all that I am blessed with. Thank you all for your part that you play in my life book. I am an adventure, and thank you for being part of it. God bless all..
