Elias C.: "The Lord is my God"

April 12, 2010

Elias' name means "The Lord is my God."  How powerful is that?   He has quite the story for such a small boy, and you would never know his hardships from looking at his bright shiny eyes and bubbly almost 1 year old personality!   He is from Ethiopia; adopted recently by an amazing Godly couple, with an amazing Godly family that surrounds them.  When Elias was 5 months old he weighed a mere 8 lbs and was days away from passing away.  His Ethiopian uncle, seeing his disparate condition, walked 100 miles with him to an orphanage to get him help.   Help was waiting in the hearts of his adoptive parents.  His new family came to Ethiopia to get him, and he came home to the states in early March and is now thriving and growing and everything a toddler should be!  Check out his infectious smile and his deep soulful eyes!  and just a small confession:  I did squeeze his cutie-pie cheeks and toes during our shoot..i couldn't resist!!

A little personal cuteness: My Huddy Buddy!

What do you get when you cross two cute readheads? Two cuter redheads, with LOTS of redhead energy! I'm telling you now, a super-cute 2 year old redheaded boy with gold eyes can wear you out! Good thing baby sister was a photogenic queen...and can't crawl or walk yet. :) We spent much of our shoot chasing little Jackson, who had NO interest in having his picture taken! It made for some super fun candid shots. Jenna was a student of mine, way back when I was a high school teacher! Her husband was home from Iraq for just a short while, so we did a little family shoot while they were all in one place!

Bobby and Lyndsy are two of our dear friends, and they are having a baby very soon! We walked around the campus of Augusta State for their maternity session, and had a lot of fun. The weather was great, and so were my subjects! Lyndsy is one hot preggo mama!! I can't wait to meet their little boy. We took some pictures with his name in them, but it's a secret, so I'm holding those back til his born...even though they are some of my favorite from the session!
Here's a GIANT sneak peek guys! I just loved so many of them, I couldn't decide which one's to blog!

Morgan Maternity, a NEW BABY and a NEW CAMERA!

Hello everyone! I am sort of back from maternity leave :) Our sweet baby girl is here! Blakely Gray came on February 24th at 3:14 am. For more details on her and us visit: www.hudsonv.blogspot.com!

In business news...I completed my 1st year of real big girl business taxes! lol. I was quite pleased with how things turned out, and am excited about what this year has to hold for my little business!
BIG BUSINESS NEWS: I got a new camera! Canon 5d Mark ii! I LOVE it. I am loving the full frame, the vibrancy of color it picks up and all the new little perks it has, like an HD screen on the back. I am also drooling over the possibility of doing video/picture compilations as my new camera has HD video capabilities! wow! can't wait to keep playing.
FAQ: Can I buy your old camera?
Answer: I am keeping my 50D as a back up camera, and will use it quite frequently at weddings, so sorry guys, not selling it.

NOW ONTO my first shoot back from maternity leave....
