Family Pictures

If you like looking at family pictures, then this post is for you!  While there are a ton of pictures below, these are just some of my favorites from our October session with my good friend Kristen.  I can't believe she took these a month before delivering her baby boy... at 36 weeks I was in the hospital about to have Noah!  Anyway, we went to a local park and while it was cooler and windier than we would have liked, we ended up with some great pictures.  Kristen even came to our house a few days later to get more shots of Noah alone, since he lost interest towards the end of our original photo shoot... what a great friend and photographer!  And since we were already out, she also took some solo pictures of me so I can eventually update my profile picture on the blog :)  

^^^ clearly this kid is teething!

I loved them all and already have a bunch printed and framed in our house :)

Christmas Photo Shoot!

We had an amazing Christmas yesterday and today we are spending more quality time with my family.  I just wanted to share these pictures that my friend, Kristen, took of Noah on Monday.  I am so pleased with how they turned out!!!

Noah's First Birthday Photos

About a month ago, we had Noah's "First Birthday" Photos taken.  Even though he wasn't 1 yet, I wanted to get them done so I'd have them in time for his party.  

I found Shannon through a friend of mine in the MOMS Club.  I loved her pictures and when I found out how reasonably priced she was, I knew I had to book her immediately.   We met at an arboretum in our town and she brought all these amazing props.  Noah LOVED the balloons the most.  

I am so happy with how they turned out and that we got some updated family shots as well!

Saturday Fun

We had a pretty busy Saturday.  Noah skipped swim class since he was still getting over his cold.  Instead, we went and had Noah's 1st Birthday Pictures taken.  While he is only 11 months, I wanted to get the pictures in time for his party :)  We had such a good time and Noah was so happy and smiley!  To my surprise, our photographer already posted a sneak peek of the pictures on Facebook on Monday.    I am beyond happy how they turned out and would recommend Shannon in a heartbeat!

That night we met up with Chris' parents, his brother Justin, and his Gram for dinner.  They came to Morristown and we took them back to Olive Lucy's.   As usual, Noah was a perfect angel and we enjoyed a really nice family dinner. 

Grandma & Grandpa

We had a super busy Memorial Day Weekend and have tons of pictures to show for it.  I'm still going through them all, and hopefully will have a post on that tomorrow.  In the meantime, here are some pictures I took of Noah with Grandma and Grandpa a little while ago.  I took these for my photography class, where the assignment was to photograph a group.  I'm really pleased with how they turned out!
