Self-Portrait | February 2015

As I mentioned in last month's self-portrait post, one of our goals for 2015 is to begin working on our house.  So my February was consumed with painting two of our upstairs rooms.  The first half of the month was spent picking a color for our guest bedroom and painting it, and the second half was spent doing the same for my office.  I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of painting, but I love the results of freshly painted walls in colors that we selected!

So here I am doing a little final touch up on my office before my new office furniture is delivered...


I know. I know.  You can't see the color of the walls in a black and white photo. You'll just have to stay tuned for next month's Snippets + Snapshots post to see the color I selected.

Heba + Walid + Jad's Sneak Peek

I work with Heba at my day job, and when she shared the big news that she was expecting baby number two this fall, I offered to take some photos in honor of the special occasion. The session ended up being a combination of pregnancy reveal and Jad's two year old portraits, with a few family portraits thrown in for good measure.  So please allow me to introduce you to Heba, Walid, and Jad, and share their adorable photos.

First, a few of the adorable Jad, who just turned 2 years old at the end of January.  This first one is one of my favorites.  I just can't get enough of that amazing light streaming through the trees behind him....



I ADORE this photo of Heba! Gorgeous!...


Sweetness...


There's nothing like the love between mother and son...


Is Jad adorable or what?...


I just love these next two, as well.  So much love...



Announcing the big news!...



A few of the family....


Another favorite!...


Heba is so beautiful, and she has absolute NO IDEA how stunning she is!  I've been dying to get her in front of my camera for months.  I just knew she would be a dream to photograph, and I was right!...



The big birthday boy!...



How cute is this?!...


And this?!...



The growing family...



So cute!...


And a few more of Jad...



Heba, It was a blast taking these photos and getting to know your family a little better during your session.  Congrats again!
