Weddings, Baby Cheeks and Rambling...

Hey y'all!
After that super long post yesterday I am going to keep it short and simple today! As y'all know my passion is photography and here lately I have been blessed to book quite a few shoots. A few weeks ago I told y'all about shooting my first wedding as the primary photographer, read that post here. Well today I am going to share a few more pictures from that day and a sweet newborn shoot. There are also some things I need some advice on, any input welcome!
     ^one of Lauren's that I love, she did such a great job!
I am so obsessed with this one. As we were leaving I saw this heart lock and just had to have a picture of it even though we were in a hurry. Lauren had the great idea to put the rings on the door handle so we made them hold on for one more minute and I am so glad because it is one of my favorite pictures ever! I love working with Lauren, I think we should just be an official team!
 
This past Sunday I got to spend the day with my sweet nephew Branson taking his newborn pictures! This was the first full-out newborn session I have done and I loved it. I definitely think that I want newborns to be my main focus as I continue on my photography adventure. Yes it takes a long time due to fussiness and all the other truly amazing things that come with a newborn but my favorite part is when that little baby starts to fuss you get to pick them up and hold them close until they settle down. Now if that isn't just the best "job perk" ever then I don't know what is! Here are a few of little baby B's shoot.
Those little cheeks, be still my heart!!!
 
More to come! Now on to what I am struggling with. Several people have asked me if I had a Facebook page or website and my friends/family keep telling me I need to make one, I am not so sure. I just don't feel like I am there yet. I know it will help generate business but I have a hard time calling myself a professional with my lack of training and experience. Looking at these pictures that I worked on for so long there are so many things that could have been done better. I know everyone starts somewhere, I guess I am just weary about coming off as cocky or like I am trying to rip people off. This is just something I guess I will have to continue to pray on until I figure out my next step! (& I am seriously not fishing for compliments just want some opinions on what y'all think. Am I overthinking this or do you think there are certain dues you have to pay before taking that step?)
Well that's it for today, Stop back by tomorrow for the Five On Friday!

My New Home: The Hospital

Well at least it feels like hospitals have become my home since that is where I have spent the majority of the past three days!

Luckily this time I am not the patient. Monday night my sister-in-law Kaley had her beautiful baby boy after four days of labor!  Seriously y'all he is soooo beautiful!
Everyone meet Branson Todd Stephens all 9lb 15oz & 22in of him!! Boy is a hoss! 


I just love all those first day details the fuzzy hair & wrinkly hands get me everytime! 

He already has the best expressions!!!
I love you so much already (not so) little man!!  

Today on the other hand is not such a joyful visit. My little sister had to have a very extensive jaw surgery today so I have been camped out at Egleston since 6 a.m. needless to say I am exhausted!! Anyone who knows me knows that seeing my little in pain breaks every little piece of my heart but everything went great she is resting at the moment. It is definitely going to be a long night but hopefully she will get some sleep and I will too. 

So I am sorry for the poor quality of this post but it is coming from my iPhone and very very little sleep! I know I missed a link up in a series I was doing today but I'm just gonna have to do it when I can get back to normal! 

Later y'all!!
