Bald

So, yesterday morning was a great morning... for a while anyway... I got up early while all the boys were in bed. I was able to drink a cup of coffee and watch the crabbers check their traps in the harbor. I spent some time on the internet and got ready for my shoot... it was relaxing and great.

Then I left.

And apparently my husband temporarily lost his mind...

Because when I returned, my baby looked like this:


DJ, fancying himself a barber, decided to "cut" Noah's hair. He said, "Well, YOU said it needed to be cut!" Yes, NOT shaved!

*sigh* *SIGH* *SUPER BIG EXTRA LONG SIGH*

So, we (DJ, myself, and the neighbors) can't quite decide who he resembles most... blog readers, you can help... here are the candidates:


It's a bit of a tough call for me. I haven't quite decided, but I have taken to calling him "Dalai". You know, like, "What are you doing in the fridge you silly dalai?" or "Get your water dalai..."

Here's a few more pics of the bald baby just in case you need some reference material...


Help us decide people.

And lambaste DJ when you see him next...

And, hats, yes... we'll need some hats for his oversized-melon-head otherwise he'll be all kinds of sunburned...

Until next time,

Give Your Husband a QUICKIE for Father's Day...!!

Okay, get your minds out of the gutter. I mean really... *sheesh* :)

Is your husband really hard to shop for?
Do you know someone that HAS everything?

Here's an idea! Give them the gift of memories. Anyway you want it :)

** Get you and the kids and the family dog together and we'll snap a quick pic, order it in a 5x7 and I'll have it to you well before Father's Day.

** No kids? Great! What would be better than giving your man a gorgeous pictures of his lady that he can display proudly at work?!

** Already have a gift for hubby, but need something for YOUR dad? Get the grandkids in a heap, we'll snap a photo (well if you know me, we'll snap MANY photos)...I'll bring you the 5x7 when it's all said and done... well in time for Father's Day!

How to Have A Nice Civilized Dinner

A little lesson for you. Let's get serious, eh?


(cereal you say? did someone say cereal? because sometimes i like food...)


Here at the Reedy home, we believe in emphasizing proper manners & mealtime etiquette.


(bahahaha... she said serious...or sperious...or sflerious...or who cares it was funny...)



It's important to teach your children to eat their food... not to play with it.


(smoooshy smooshy, squishy, squishy... shall i eat it? or fling it?)



Proper use of napkins is always a good lesson as well.


(What's a napkin? Hey look! I can clean my hands with my tongue! Cooooool...)


Of course, if the child finishes before the adults, they should learn to sit quietly and patiently while the rest of the table finishes their meal...


(Hey listen to this sound...Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....my mom lets me watch tv with my brother...and I already know who Sponge Bob is and I'm just 1... grrrrrrrrrrrrr...)


I am quite proud. If you ever feel you need a decorum consult. Please feel free to contact us...



Until next time,

Don't ask me what happened to the baby's clothes because I have no earthly idea. But, lord, isn't he cute? And something about dads with their babies... I love this shot.



Until next time,

Mother's Day... just a little late?

I've been so busy lately with the Bazaar and the event last week and shoots that I haven't been blogging any of our personal stuff.

So here's a little bit... I'll be back with more soon, I promise!

Mother's Day this year was a blast. DJ's parents were in town and it was BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL outside! So I was off doing something...who knows what... I certainly can't remember because I can't even remember what I wore yesterday... Anyway, so I was off doing something and I come downstairs and Mimi and Pappy had taken Trey off to Wal-Mart. For my kid, this is like winning the lottery... going to Wal-Mart with his grandparents. Oh lordy. And what do they come back with? OF COURSE, water guns!

Did I mention that it was beautiful outside?

So water guns + The Reedy Family + a beautiful day = some-great-shots-that-I-haven't-blogged-yet...


I love watching Trey play with his grandparents. They give him so much awesome attention... and for a kid who is so GOOD... and patient while I try to be a not-so-neurotic (yeah right) mother... this is his release. He gets to play and play and play and play and play and play... I love it. And, um, I think they might have a little fun here and there too...


Noah is just now getting old enough to realize that... hey... this seems like fun and why the he** can't I have a gun?! So what does he do? He converts the hand-soap into his own gun.

Yes. He did.

This is my life.

And I. LOVE. IT.


Until next time,

Ryan & Rachel: Sneak Peek | Hampton Roads Couples Photographer

Rachel is awesome. Awesome. And a winner! She won my free session through the LESC and we shot her portraits last weekend!

We had SO. MUCH. FUN. out on this shoot. Well aside from the fact that I'm apparantly allergic to, uh, nature. I started sneezing and sniffling and my eyes started getting all itchy... stinkin' nature.

And Rachel, my dear, I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say you hate being in front of the camera. You look radiant!

And... now... I'll... shutup.


I just love this picture. I'm not done editing the entire set of images, but so far this is my favorite. We were walking up to this path and the light was shining through the trees so perfectly... so I start yelling... "there! there! see that light! ohmigod. You guys stand RIGHT there!"


*Sigh* I love real smiles. I do. Just don't ask my couples what I do to GET those real smiles. *wink* *wink*


Whatever not-photogenic. I love it.

So you two... I had great fun! Keep an eye on your inbox for your gallery! Should be up soon... :)

Until next time,
~K

And The Winner Is...

For those of you who visited my table at the 'Evening Under the Stars' event last night, here's the winner of the FREE session!



#125! Heather Larkins! I'll be emailing you soon!

Until next time,

P.S. Rachel & Ryan... I know you're looking for your sneak peek! It's coming soon, I promise!
