Baby Bella!

Did some pictures with Miss Bella yesterday, but she reaaly was NOT in the mood, lol, so the whole picture thing lasted maybe ONE minute. She's still jaundice....so tiny, so sleepy...looooooooooove her to pieces!

Isabella Grace is here!

Isabella Grace has arrived! After 26 loooooooooooong hours of labor, little Miss Bella made her debut at 6:14pm on July 19th, 2 weeks before her due date. She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz....and was 20.5 inches of perfection.

Here she is, just entering the world...

Momma, finally holding her baby...

Daddy, meeting his baby girl...

Nursing for her first time...

The girls, meeting baby Bella...Lexi is head over heels in love...

Her bath, right after birth, trying to get some of the vernix off of her....she was NOT a fan!

Livs and momma, checking out Bella a little bit more...

Resting in her bassinet in the room...

A quick little photoshoot on the hospital pullout chair, before we went home!

On our way home.....tired, but so, so ready to go home! Before you know it, this blog will be inundated with pictures of Miss Bella........so stay tuned!

Happy Birthday Shannon!

Olivia the copycat!

When Olivia saw Shannon doing this pose, she HAD to lie down on the white backdrop and do the same thing....messy hair, diaper, sweaty and all!

Some more of my Shannon girl....

Going through some more of Shannon's pictures, while missing her madly! There are sooooooo many fun ones that I just **love**!

Here are a few more from the beach (yes, I still have MORE to go through)...

These ones were so much fun....Shannon totally got into it, despite a few girls mocking her, lol!

And some with the white backdrop...

A little fun with the fan blowing...

Have to recognize the fabulous track star that she is...

Missing you now that you're back in South Dakota, Miss Shannon...and still have MORE to go through!

Pictures at the beach!

Soooo...we went to the beach on Tuesday, to do some senior pictures on the ocean! It was gorgeous outside...though I was kind of hoping for a nice purple/pink sky as the sunset, but we worked with what we had!

The purple shirt........Shannon, I loooooooooove this purple shirt on you!!

The black and white sweater outfit....the sun was setting, the lighting was fabulous...

I looooooooove these shots....even if you DID get made fun of for doing them, lol!

The sun had almost set at this point...

I've still got tons to go through, Miss Shannon....you are one FABULOUS model!
