WHOOOO LLOOOVVVESSS HOOOTIE :)

So it's been awhile since I've updated the blog with all things Hootie so I thought I would do just that before the holiday season got crazy! BTW... be prepared for picture overload! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do looking at them all over again. 

Hootie will be 9 months tomorrow (Happy Halloween!) and I can't wait to show her off in her Little Red Riding Hood costume... which includes a cape! 

She is talking up a storm (mostly bossing strangers around... guess she really is mine) and still refuses to sleep in her bed. I've come to terms with and I'm just gonna enjoy it while she lets me cuddle her. 

We've two teefies (the bottom two) that she loves to show off. She grew 'em herself! 

We've been crazy busy (nothing new) with work... home... photography... and Hootie Hu! I'll be updated the photog blog in the new couple of week so stay tuned! I have booked my last session for the year. I'll be taking December & January off (minus a couple of cute Newborns to be). I am beyond grateful (and surprised) at how this year of photography turned out for me. Thank you to everyone for allowing me to share such sweet, funny, & fleeting moments :) 

Hootie Hu will not be at Christmas Magic this year. You can find ready to ship items at Babys BOWtique. See their Fb page for store hours. Email me at hootiehu@gmail.com for custom bedding (infant & toddler), minky blankets, burpies, boppy covers, & lovies :)

Thanks for swinging by! See ya'll soon!

Happy Fall Ya'll

Yay! It's officially Fall and we can break out all the clothes that we really love, drink hot things, & bake inside the house. Because that's what it's all about, right?

I have a ton of photos to share and I apologize in advance for them being out of order. I have promised to take some much needed time off from my hobbies during the holidays to really enjoy them. So I'm hoping that means getting everything else organized... maybe? Please?? :)

Sawyer will be 9 months on Halloween... crazy, right?? She has her two front bottom teeth. From the horror stories I've heard from other mamas about teething... those were a breeze. She's refusing to sleep in her bed... or throughout the night anymore. She's a bit a wild sleeper so it's been fun :)

We hope everyone is enjoying this time of year because it's fabulous!! Best time for some picture taking! I just realized I never updated with photos from our last family session with Rachel Photography in August. Shame on me... will do soon. Because we have our holiday family session coming up in just a couple of weeks! EK! Yes, I am a bit of a photo lover if you can't tell.

On a side note, thank you everyone for such sweet words about my photography, Hootie Hu, and my sweet family. It's been a fantastic chaotic year of adjustments and success. I have been given so many opportunities that still surprise me. Everyone should really get to be as happy and as lucky as I am. Maybe a little less ... over scheduled (yes, I do it to myself and I'm working on better time management :)

Thanks all and I look forward to what's next up for us!

Whatcha' lookin' at mom?
