Rhett’s fifth month was full of fun. It’s crazy to me that I know I only take my big camera to about 10% of the things we do in a month and yet each month is SO full.
It seems like life is flying by so quickly with three tiny kids. I go to bed with so much left undone and so much that I would like to do but somehow, the kids always take priority and I’m not complaining. It’s how it should be. Mimi will come up from the basement and say “Mommas… you need to see this!” and we stop everything we’re doing in the office and run down to the basement to see what the little people are up to. Sometimes it’s the babies sitting up or doing something new… sometimes it’s the big kids testing their limits on the jungle gym… sometimes it’s the girls (Harper and Evy) pretending together… sometimes it’s Graham getting into something. We stop everything to try to not miss it. I’m so grateful we have that ability and I don’t take it for granted.
This month, Rhett turned five months and I can’t even begin to explain how much has changed with him! But I’m going to try:
- He’s sitting up! REALLY well!
- He’s trying real food! Bananas are his favorite!
- He smiles at EVERYONE… all the time… it’s the first thing people say about him!
- He’s happy… 95% of the time. Thank you Jesus for a sweet, easy baby
- He got three teeth in one month! YIKES!
- He gets so distracted while nursing…I have to sing to him to get him to tune out other things and focus!
- He thinks Evy is hilarious!!!!!
- He’ll sit on the floor and play by himself for the longest time!
- He’s started laughing at the other two in the back of the car randomly and it’s precious!
- He’s in 12month clothes!!

Evy’s first baby shower! She was so cute! She just wanted to swim in the pool as soon as we got there :) 
I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud of a family picture! ALL THREE SMILING! 
Evy has started taking pictures of me and it’s the sweetest! 
This is what monthly Rhett pics look like….. Evy helps me…

Off season is here!! For wedding photographers, this is hopefully a time to rest and rejuvenate before busy season kicks back in. This is also a great time to focus on some back-end business tasks you might have had on your plate for a while now.
2021 was a year to remember! I decided to close out YouTube for the year, by reflecting back on life lessons 2021 taught me – what worked, what didn’t and what I hope to remember as I move into 2022.
You guys know talking about the tech side of a photography business is not my expertise… but thankfully it IS Tyler’s!!!

It’s been years since I’ve done a round-up of some of my favorite images from the year! I struggle to narrow these down and so I decided to showcase some of the images with the best candid emotions!
Welcome back to another Behind the Image! In this series I take you behind the scenes of a real wedding day and then analyze one image! Today we’re analyzing an image from a wedding we shot back in May that should NOT have worked…but it did!!
