I know you are probably on overload of my boys, but I just had to share this. Gabriel and Zachary met Santa this week, and Gabriel enjoyed his visit, but Zachary notsomuch.

 

I just think this is precious.

 

Perfect.

 

Merry Christmas!

 

PS- I love their bow-ties, I got them from Little Ties for Little Guys. She is amazballs!

 

Baby in a Stocking

Thank you, Footstone Photography

I was just looking at this picture and cannot believe this was a year ago. We posed our 7 day old baby in a Christmas Stocking. And hung him using a Command Adhesive Strip.(Previous words may be slightly exaggerated)

Our life has changed so much in a year, and I won't get all sappy on you, I'll wait until my New Year's post for that...but for now.

Life has grown, tremendously.

What size portrait should I get for my wall

Portrait sizing by Meg Fish

This example shows a baby, but really it could be anything... a wedding image, an image you took with your camera and want to get a print for the wall over the couch or mantle...

I just thought this was a great idea to show you just how small an 8x10 looks on the wall.

What do you think? Does this help you?

It is great to have friends, dear, amazing, talented friends! Krystal of Verve Studio took this uber adorable photography of Zachary flying.

Believe it or not, our own little Superman turned 8 months this past week. I cannot believe how fast time is flying. Flying - get it... flying!

Our little family has grown by leaps and bounds, and so our our little blog! I feel SO blessed!

He's pretty stinkin' cute, right?

Easter Pictures with Baby Chics

I hope you all had a great Easter or Passover weekend! I just wanted to share some cuteness with you!

Soooooooooooooo, Gabriel (our 2.25 year old, wouldn't sit with the Easter Bunny, and let's face it that guy can be a bit scary...) So, our tradition has been to take his picture with the baby Chics... and it's cute, right!

So this year, I wanted a picture with G and Z. Gabriel has been a great big brother. He loves to help with his little brother, bringing his binky, and his blankey, and sort of sharing his toys.

So I though, hey.... this will be a piece of cake! A picture with a 2 year old and 3 month old... no problem!

Until it happened, and my husband happened to snap it on his camera.

No Baby was harmed in the taking of this picture

Oops... so the moral of the story is, be sure to have your wife laying under the bench in case your 2 year old thinks it's funny to see if a baby really does bounce.

Awkward Family Photos

So, it's your wedding day, and you are imagining dreaming of all of your family being together in one place and your having these incredible images that capture your wedding perfectly!

But, let's talk real life for just a sec.

Humor me.

Sometimes you just don't get that dream image. Sometimes you picture life one way and BAM! Real life slaps you in the face like an overcooked pancake.

I am working on a little project about awkward family pictures, please send them to me! Email me at melissa at masterpieceweddings dot net

I wanna see them!

And just so you know I play fair.... (and the best is yet to come!)

Awkward Family Photo.... Exhibit A - I had Gabriel all dressed up for his brother's Baptism - he loved it. I cut off John's head and Zachary looks like he's a few fries short of, well you know.
