. . . it’s HOT here & my baby is all grown up.

I didn’t schedule anybody for this week because I’m on call for a very special birth!! Any day now??!! {or night – probably}.  But, whenever he should decide to bless his family with his prescence . . . I’ll be running out the door! Can’t wait. And, I’m so glad I didn’t schedule anyone for this week because I probably would have cancelled them in light of  this crazy weather! The grass crunches when you step on it because it’s so fried, we’re under a heat advisory for the next few days, our air conditioner died & so did 3 of our friends’ & it’s just crazy to even leave the house right now.

Back to pictures though (indoor ones of course) . . . here are a couple I don’t mind sharing from baby girl’s mini 6 month session. It’s just really killing me how fast she’s growing up. Every second is so precious . . . and they’re going faster & faster! I wish I could figure out how to slow it down!! Pictures are my best remedy! So for the record . . . here’s 6 months ! 

ok, back to waiting for this baby!

I have lots of exciting changes going on behind the scenes right now . . . more ’bout that later. But, I have tons to share over the next few weeks! Births! Funky cool and totally rad families! TRIPLET newborns! and all we’re forgetting is . . . lions & tigers & bears OH MY!

Later!

~SarahInParis~ - Allison these images are FABULOUS!!!!! And your little girl is dvine and yes her nursery is just AWESOME. Thanks so much for sharing these gorgeous images of your little one!

Erin Helm - Doug said to tell your hubby that he needs to invest in some firearms, and if he already has them, he needs to start polishing them. Your girls are both beautiful! AND this last picture is a knockout!!! Waiting patiently on this end too :)

Johanna - Allison your daughter is so beautiful and the images of her are spectacular. Love those baby folds and creases. Time does go way too fast so enjoy every single second!

Melissa A Lively - She is beautiful!!!

Laura Z - Hey Allison, Your little one looks so sweet, yet sneaky. Do your pictures reflect her personality? I’m sure they do…

I love love love looking at your work.

there’s a song in my soul {The Woodlands Tx photographer}

Shooting for myself protects my joy. I made time for that this weekend. I shot something that gives me joy each week . . . watching Pressly dance & sing & praise God makes me so very joyful.

 (this one reminds me of the Hypercolor shirt I had in the 3rd grade)

 

sorry Mr. Ben . . . here’s a little plug for these guys since I didn’t warn him that I would be shooting these OR posting them. I didn’t know myself . . . just got inspired!

Check them out here: AWAIT THE DAY (make sure your microphone isn’t all the way up . . . it may melt your speakers;o))

Katie - Allison . . . L-O-V-E the last one. The colors are yummy. (I wonder if I still had my hypercolor shirt if it would still work? Hmmm.) The message is clear! Awesomeness.

Pride - I know I’ve never posted any comments before but I want you to know proud I am of you and your amazing work! How you document the most happy times of our family and others are a true gift. Your pictures always bring joy to my heart. Thank you for being a amazing and tolerant wife, a loving mother, and a truly gifted artist. Now if you could only make me look good in a photo you might be on to something! I love you very much…. keep up the good work.

kimberly - Oh that was sweet Pride! Allison you are indeed amazing!

GoGo - Just got on your website to catch up after being on vacation for the last ten days. I had to get my Pressly and Raleigh fix. I continue to be amaszed by your eye, your work, your way of expression. Then I read what Pride wrote to you and I have tears running down my face. You are a blessing to all who know you, and we love you.

Happy Father’s Day!

Have a fabulous week,

Jacie - Once again… more amazing shots

Gratitude.

. . . I committed to focusing on what I’m grateful for this week due to this super cool chick.  I’ve never met in person, but listen to her words of wisdom almost weekly on a forum and always appreciate her positivity and creativity! It’s only a week late – but what the who-ha . . . like any “thank-you” . . . better late than never! So, I generally always have a difficult time narrowing anything down to a few. So, my grateful list – HA! Impossible. So, I had to keep it simple. I am most grateful for my iPhone this week. I KNOW . . . sounds really trivial and self-centered and blah, blah, blah, BUT, before you roll your eyes. I’m grateful because of all the pictures it allows me to capture and store away. Just ask my husband . . . I don’t have the best memory. That is the primary reason I am obsessive about having all of my favorite memories in print. The best part, no worries about shutter speed, ISO, WB, etc, etc. Just shoot. I just uploaded all the pictures from it to my computer 1 month ago and I already have 408 new pictures!! The thing is, I take more pictures of my family and the things I love with it than with that whopper of a big black box that I shoot my clients with. Therefore, it is incredibly dear to me. So, here are the things I’m most thankful for (this week):

I’m such a fan of that big blue sky that we take for granted every single day. So much so, that over 60% of my pictures are of that sky. Sadly, I do drive and snap:o) Sorry mom. . . makes for some fun pics. I never take my eyes off the road – really. And, in my thinking, I’m covered because for every picture I take I also say a quick prayer thanking God for that amazing sky. Sounds a little cliche, but I’m really serious. Really.

I’m also a big fan of these 2 . . .

AND NAPTIME! and the bond that they have already. Love watching it grow.

so, needless to say, I have a ton to be grateful for . . . until next time:o)

Dana Pugh - I love the sky images–especially the one with the gas station sign off in the distance…ahhh…thanks for the kind words and thanks for participating ;)

Katie - I love the phreckle phone pics! You even take amazing pictures on your phone . . . It must be hard being so darn creative!

alison - I love all of these!
They were all shot with your iphone? amazing!
the skies and clouds and slightly off-kilter scenery-so lovely!

my favorite is your kiddos, though :)

Alison (fellow PT4P)

Maggie I - Amazing!

~SarahInParis~ - These are awesome images Allison and you have inspired me to take some more photos of blue skies too. The one of your little cherubs is gorgeous!

Jacie - Where do you go 2 get so many amazing ideas… Werent these taking with just you iphone?

. . . like a weed. Remember this???? Why must they grow up so fast? Off to enjoy her before she leaves for college;o)
