Hissyfits Photography Blog

Let me begin this post by saying that my kids ADORE this little guy. And I mean ADORE. We spent yesterday morning with him, his too cute for words big sis and their sweet mama. Huntler and Gentry haven’t stopped talking about them {but mostly Baby James!} since. They have an affinity for babies. Especially Huntler. He is going to make SUCH a great big brother! He actually wants to name our baby James if “it” is a boy and dress him in the exact same outfit. Mary, you have a great sense of style because this is exactly how I dressed Huntler when he was tiny and how I’ll dress this one if it is a boy!

I have known the mama of this little guy for awhile now, but only last fall did we find ourselves reconnecting again…through our mutual love of photography. Mary is an amazing photographer {I think she was a tiny bit hesitant for me to share the link because she is in the process of getting her blog set up now…but you’ll get it how you want it soon Mary!!}. She has a great eye and she can totally nail exposure! Believe me…I have seen her straight out of the camera shots and they are fab! Anyway, you may be wondering why I would be taking pictures of her little guy when she undoubtedly has thousands of her own?

Well, you see, we have a little trade going on. The plan is for her to come up to the hospital and take pictures for us when we have the baby {depending on the timing and everything she may even be there for the birth!} and I am in turn taking photos of her kids! My style is very different than hers so we thought it might be fun to switch things up a bit! I truly enjoyed editing every single one of these. No stress. No pressure. Just embracing my style for what it is and going for it! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!

Mary, I truly enjoy you and your friendship. I am so thankful that our passion for freezing those priceless moments in time has strengthened our friendship. It is so much fun to have someone to chat with, bounce ideas off of and learn from! And once we get our new computer, you can rest assured I am going to start shooting in RAW! Thanks for the mini lesson – it looks amazing!

I hope as you look at these images you’ll remember our afternoon at City Hall and how sweet and cute James was!

I won’t lie, this next one was a total happy accident! I was bent down {very awkwardly and uncomfortably I might add} to attempt this and it happened in a flash! It is a miracle my exposure was correct and that he was in focus! You don’t realize how much harder it is to squat and get in picture taking position when you are seven months pregnant!

There is something about this next one I just love. His look is so real, so innocent. And he has those same big brown eyes my own little guy does!!

I couldn’t decide whether or not I liked this last one in color or black and white so I decided to try it both ways!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I am taking it off from blogging in an attempt to get MANY things done! I am already working on party stuff for Gentry’s party in July {I want it all done before baby comes}, cutting out sets of ruffly pants, editing, crafting, Quicken…the list goes on! Hoping that somewhere in there we also do something FUN for my birthday…come Monday I’ll be the big 3-0!!
