The Claxton's

I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with a family that is very special to me.
I babysat for them when Chandler was born and up until they moved shortly after the twin's first birthday.
 So they moved to Texas. Fast forward TEN years.

This is Chandler.

oh how now I'll have to pull out and scan a pic of us when she was little haha (and gosh do I feel old now!)

And these are the twins. Haley and Reagan.

Photobucket

I loved getting to see you guys and get real life hugs (we chat on facebook often).
And yay for them coming back this summer for a visit!

I love you girls!

Reese

Meet Reese.

Photobucket

I love this girl. She has such an awesome heart.

Reese came to visit recently for a short time and we all had a blast. It was so great to "catch up" and just hang out for a bit. Not to mention my kids love her, so they had fun too!

Photobucket

We stayed up waaaaay too late, and even snuck in a small tour of the historic sites of downtown Montgomery before she left. Loads of fun.

Reese, thanks for coming to see us on your way to the big ATL, I'm so blessed to call you friend.

Ketchup

Well, more like CATCH up.

The past few weeks have been super busy, so I'm going to "catch up" with a brief synopsis.

Kyley got her letter from magnet school- she's not officially in yet, but still in the pool, so we wait some more.

I'm starting my own business. And I'm putting a lot of time into the prep work for that.

Soccer season has started.

Ballet recital is just around the corner.

LOTS of birthday's this month.

I've been working on a fun project for my pastor (see previous posts w/ pics) that took a lot of my time shooting and editing pictures

I'm also working on being ready for two fairly large photo shoots in the next few weeks. yay!

Family reunion is in 3 weeks. 

Reese came to visit! (pics to come)

So did Donny & Chandler and Haley and Reagan. (pics to come)

Life has been CRAZY :) 

Any more you wanna know? 

And for good measure... here's a few pics from the park this weekend.

sneak peek

Ok so it's not so much of a sneak peek for a few of you.

But... I've been working on something fun and wanted to share a little peek with you guys.

I'm having WAY too much fun with this!

ETA: since I've been asked... the bokeh in the first pic IS straight out of camera... :) Only editing was a little contrast.

Jared. at. home.

Here are a few pictures while Uncle Jared was at home.

We were so glad to get to hang out with him. Kyley was super attached and I thought we were going to have a huge meltdown this night when we left. Poor girl loves her uncles. All of them.

Learning new things...

Learning new things isn't always easy.

But no one said it couldn't be fun!

These are a few pictures I've taken since I got my new camera.

I'm still learning and trying to figure out all the settings and such, but I'm learning a lot and enjoying it!
