:: Captured ::

A few weeks ago, we had some pictures taken with Carmen van Dyck. She just posted the photos on her blog this weekend and I couldn't be more thrilled! Judah wasn't in a very good mood that day and would not crack a smile for anything. Funny faces, goofy noises, tickles... nothing was impressing him. To make it even worse, he napped late that morning and we had to WAKE HIM UP after only a half hour nap to start. Aggg. So the pictures Carmen was able to capture are even more amazing!

I had initially forgo the idea of professional infant pictures because of a lack of funds and instead took some newborn ones of Judah myself. Quickly, I reconsidered. I thought my photos were ok, but realized quickly the value, for me personally, of having these special moments professionally captured... both for us in the future & to enjoy now, and for Judah, when he's older. I really like how they turned out - this ended up being a great age to get photos taken.

One of my favorites!

Awesome little blue retro couch! Carmen came prepared with props. See, I said she was great! :)

Me & my sweet little lovie.

Family lovin'. Look at that little monsters face in the first picture! I was afraid he'd look like that in every one!

I special requested this picture. I'd seen it on Carmen's blog with another family. I'm such a copy cat!

Love the bow tie ones! Seriously, I make cute babies. ;)

Oh, blue-eyes, how do I love thee.

Our wee family of three. Sometimes I think we should make it four... *wink*. Just kidding. Not quite yet.

Carmen, thank you so so much for these pictures & fitting us into your crazy summer schedule. We love them all!
