'P' Family Preview

I was able to take some great shots of this beautiful family last night. It was raining at my house, but across town it had let up and turned out to be a gorgeous late afternoon. Here are two fun edits for a quick preview. Stay tuned for more soon!!

Where have I been?

Well, I've been making this little guy. Of course he's not finished cooking, but he will be in about 3 weeks or so. I know I haven't hit the very end yet because I don't feel the need to nest. In fact, I have been quite lazy. Well, not lazy, but interested more in taking my boys to the pool than posting blogs. Needless to say, I do have some pictures to share before baby Caden makes his way.... Thanks for holding out for me. I promise I'll be here more often very soon.



Oh, there he is! This was taken back in March so he's grown a lot more. Kinda weighing me down. But in a good way. He is such a great baby already and I can't wait to meet him, snuggle him, and of course take pictures of him. Behind the picture is his baby book. Just something else that has kept my attention the past two months.



Here's a pillow slip cover I made last month. I felt so crafty! It will go in the rocking chair in Caden's room.



Another piece of fun that will go into Caden's room. A girlfriend of mine made it. I love it.



I'm all ready to go with my Kiddie-Col. This stuff is the bomb-diggity! Check out Dr. Christopher's web site for more info if you're curious.



Another thing taking up all kinds of time is organizing all these super cute clothes. We are so blessed to have everything we need for the baby, including this little number. Which if you ask me, is absolutely a need. :)



And then there's this little ditty. Yep, we're set. I just hope he gets to wear it all.

Happy Tuesday!! Stay tuned for two more posts coming soon!

Beautiful Mommyhood

While in Arizona, my sister introduced me to a friend of hers and we were able to get together for a shoot. Doesn't Chesney make the most beautiful pregnant mama?! I barely know her but I am so super excited for her to be a mommy to little Brody who will make his appearance in the coming month. Congrats Chesney and Josh! I feel honored to have been able to be a part of your special time!!













I'll leave you with this one. Love it! Happy Wednesday!

Coronado Shoot

This past weekend my sister, her family and I took a little trip to San Diego. We had such a great time! It was so nice to catch up and for me, to be without my kids for a little bit. Here's a taste of some of the shots we got. Enjoy!










Oh for goodness sakes. How did that get in here? :) I guess technically I didn't take this picture, but it deserves a show right?!







Happy Thursday!

Pacific Ocean Views

Yesterday, my sister, her husband and little man and I went to see the tide pools in San Diego. Although I was disappointed because I didn't see any big orange starfish like I had my heart set on seeing, we did see a lot of beauty. I love the pacific ocean. It has so much to offer with it's wildlife, rocks, shells, sea weed and so many other beautiful sights.



These rocks are my favorite. I love all the colors!



I don't even know what this is called. Maybe some kind of small muscles, or some shells all stuck together. I'm not sure. :) But I like the look of it.



Look at that bird. He was posed and ready for his picture to be taken. This is what it looked like up and down the peninsula where we went. Gorgeous.



Who doesn't love to see some wild sea grass? :)



Isn't this cool? The water would just come right in and splash up between these rocks.



And now I have a few things I am super excited about sharing. First of all, this is my 100th post on christinacolephotography. I have been counting down the past few so I could remember which one is the 100th. And because I love all my clients. And I love my friends and family. And I am looking forward to more business, more friendships, more amazing pictures, and more fun in the coming year, I am giving away a Snap Fish gift certificate to one lucky person who comments until 5pm Monday, pacific time. So 7pm Nashville time. That's right! Just leave a comment and your entered in the drawing! Thank you for viewing and encouraging me along the past year and a half! I love and appreciate you all!

Stay tuned for more fun giveaways, more fabulous pictures, as well as a whole new website! I am working towards having it up and running no later than the end of July. That's the goal that is. I am so blessed and thankful for this journey! Thank You!

Happy Sunday!
