Maternity Photo Shoot

I don't know how many of you know....but I decided what I wanted to be a photographer when I "grow up." Many of my friends and family have asked me to do photo sessions with them for various occasions.

My sister-in-law asked me to do some maternity pictures for her. This is my first sitting not shooting my kids. The pics came out a little dark, but for the most part I like them. I want to retake some of them and see if we can get some better shots.

So without further ado...here are some of my favorite shots.

Wow!!! How time flies.....

Ok...so I have been a very bad blogger lately. Life has just been super crazy around the Jacobs house.

Brian started school back up again in mid January and around the same time began to play basketball in the Twin Falls Recreation league. I am not gonna lie....his team is horrible. Excluding Brian and one other guy on the team, they are all a bunch of show-offs and poor sports. It is very entertaining to watch though! I keep meaning to take pictures, but I am always forgetting my camera on game nights. Brian went back to Tech Support and taking phone calls at work and they are requiring mandatory overtime. On Mondays and Tuesdays, we see each other about 10 minutes as we trade off the kids. It is a bummer, but the extra money is nice!

Tobyn has been such a sweet boy lately. He is learning so much! Tobyn is a great teacher to Zoe and he loves her to pieces. He is patient (most of the time) with her and loves to play cars with her. Tobyn has been into coloring lately. He wants to color ALL the time!

Zoe decided she no longer wanted to wear a diaper, so she is now potty training. She is doing a great job...I would say about 80% of the time she goes potty on the toilet. Zoe made up her own "potty dance" that she does every time time she uses the toilet. It is sooooo cute!

And what have I been up to? I have been working 35-40 hours per week, plus trying to be super Mom and wife. Last week, I shot my first maternity photo shoot. It went very well and I am pretty proud of the pictures. I will post some when I have a bit more time. I got to meet an online friend in person for the first time. That was so much fun! We chatted over Starbucks and it felt like I had known her my entire life!

Other than the busyness, we are truly blessed with a beautiful life. I promise to blog more and keep ya'll informed!
