may was busy

Here's the low down on the month of May....

I had the privilege of taking some maternity photos.  This one was my favorite.  I'm sure there are other photographers out there that have done the same shot, but I have never seen them.  So I was happy when the idea in my head came to life and actually worked! 

That same week as the maternity photo shoot,  I got to take some of a mother and daughter.  I called this photo my Tara Whitney moment.  I don't know what it is about it; maybe it's the colors.  I don't know, but I love it.

 

Also that week, I was invited to a pirate party for a little 3 year old girl.  The party was ridiculously cute and so was the sweet little girl, and her outfit.  It was an honor to take photos that day.  I'm not sure my photos did the cute decor justice, but it was fun trying. :)

Then it was on to taking photos of these two sweet families.  The blonde boy and the little baby are heading to Haiti in a few days.   The Grandma wanted to capture some moments of all of them together before they left.  Even the baby looks like she may be smiling...she's actually screaming. :) 

Then it was off to Puyallup for some FUNKY JUNK with my girls!!  Erin flew in from Indiana to meet up with us Washington girls.  I love my friends.  I've never met more amazing women.  Jorden, who just had a baby, let us all pile in at her house, which was just minutes away from the sale.  She's amazing.  I'm pretty sure I was comatose weeks after having my kids!  Thanks, Jord, it was SO fun!

I didn't take any photos inside, except for this one.  I'm kicking myself because the cuteness and shabbiness was enough to make your head spin.  Bri , the cute one on the end with the apron, was the one who I first heard about the Funky Junk sale from.  She had a booth of her own, with a couple other ladies, and it was adorable.  We all walked away with something...some walked away with more than others! ;)

While at Jorden's, I had the opportunity to take a few photos of their sweet, new, baby boy, Trenton.  He was the BEST baby, so laid back and yummy.  I don't think I really heard him cry the whole time I was there.  He was so sweet.  Jen bought this awesome blue chair at the sale and let us use it for a prop for baby Trent.  He liked it and looked so very cute on it.

In case you were wondering what I bought at the Funky Junk sale...oh man, you should have seen my car!!

A cute pink cabinet that still needs to be hung in the upstairs bathroom.  I'm thinking about painting the bathroom first, so it might be awhile before it gets hung.

A lovely ladder back chair.  I LOVE old chairs.  One day my dining table will be surrounded by them.

This little baby needs some love.  I hope to give it love soon.  I'm thinking either the same white as my dining chairs or maybe even a nice yellow.  

This is one of the things I bought from Bri's booth.  It's a cute little fabric banner (?).  Its home will be in Stella's room, hanging above her bed.

I almost didn't buy this little bedside table.  I'm so glad I did.  I love it.  I get happy when I crawl into bed because it's so cute.  

This little number is going to be hung in my bathroom.  I have plans of hanging my jewelry on it. 

I love funky junk, but I loved spending time with my friends more!!   I can't wait to go to the next one!

Lastly, I got older this month.  I think I turned 29 again. ;)  I've lost track.

I like May.
