Lila Bean on the Grow!

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

 “Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.”
―Fred Savage as Kevin Arnold in “The Wonder Years”

Is it just me or didn’t Kevin Arnold always have the wisest things to say. I feel this way about my photos of our Little LB. She is now 7 Months…where does the time go. This time is so priceless.

Lila on the Grow!

I know I know– I have not blogged about my Lila like you guys have asked but we are busy. When I am not working we are playing, looking, and learning! Our Lila Byrd has been on the grow! Here are some quick images to catch you up on all our fun…

Here is Lila during her first snow just a few weeks old!

a little byrd of our very own

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while you could miss it.”
― Matthew Broderick as Ferris Buller, “Ferris Buller’s Day Off”

Who doesn’t love Ferris Buller and his wisdom? I have to admit I have followed this quote quite well lately. Where have I been, having the time of my life with a little byrd of my very own. Lillian Colette Byrd, Lila, was born about a week early on December 29th. She decided she wanted to be here to ring in the New Year with us! Since the 29th I have been working hard and learning each day the most important role I have ever had, being a mother. In my work as a photographer I closely work and watch mothers and their children and have always been so amazed at the relationship between the two. Even being a part of so many families lives and special moments-nothing truly prepared me for this adventure of being someone else’s mom. So friends this is the view from my ABP office lately…Lila in her sling as I try to get work done.

A Thanksgiving Like No Other!

Friday, November 20th, 2009

As many of you know Tom and I are high school sweethearts. We have grown up together and have been there for each other through it all. The challenges of high school, applying to college, the crazy late nights and life in college, stepping into our first careers, getting married, me changing careers and pursuing the joys and pains of starting my own business, you name it.

You might remember our Christmas card from last year.

I am so proud to say that this gorgeous girl is my youngest cousin, Grayson Massey. She came up to Chapel Hill for me to photograph her Senior Pictures. Despite how hot it was (think back to how hot August was) she was such a trooper and let me play all over campus with her. She didn’t mind me asking her to lay in old spidery trees, walking down the middle of a busy street during one of Chapel Hill’s puppet shows, she just kept smiling! Here are some of my favorites…

Senior Portraits were so much fun. Let me know if anyone out there is interested in an ABP Senior Session.
