Very first photo shoot / Learning how to use my camera

My husband and I did a maternity shoot yesterday for our very good friends Dan the youth pastor of our church and Laura his lovely wife.

I have been dying to photograph her for a while now and if it wasn’t for my husband’s help I would have never gotten such good pictures by myself. My husband took all of the pictures and I posed the lovely couple.

I have to point out that my husband used the manual settings on our camera the whole time for the first time ever! He bought me the Cannon Rebel T2i for Christmas last year and we have just now graduated from just using the auto settings. Here are a few of my favorites.

Enjoy!

My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby in my arms, a toddler crawling into my bed and falling asleep on my shoulder, & a doggie sleeping across my legs. 💕 They have no idea what today is, but I’m feeling so blessed to be surrounded by all my babies on Mother’s Day 👶🐶👧 Even if it was at 4am 🥱

Not pictured our dog Sydney. 🐶 I’m so tired I didn’t even notice until after we got these pictures 🤪 I knew I was forgetting something! 🙈

After laboring at home for 2 hours we JUST made it to the hospital maybe 45 minutes before he came out with 2 quick pushes! It all happened so fast my head is still spinning. 🥹 

So thankful my SIL @thedivinemissem77 answered her phone and came quickly to stay with Audrey & my hubby @npbrady9 taking care of everything else as we rushed to the hospital. ♥️ God is so good & we couldn’t be happier with the newest member of our family 🤗
