Day in the Life of the Graybills

I was on a mission this past Saturday.  I wanted to capture a typical day in the life of my family.  I didn't want to dress us up, pose us, and have us all smile at the camera.  I wanted to capture us as we are!  I'll create an album, and years from now my kids will get to look back and see what it was like when they were just babes.  

Wesley is 3.5 now.  He's potty training.  Getting picked on and picking on his sister.  Playing with cars and trucks all the time.  And he loves to be cuddled, tickled, and raised over our heads.  

Amelia is 11 months now.  She is getting into every cabinet, every drawer, every open door.  She thinks her big brother is the best thing on earth and loves to squeeze and play with the dogs.  

On Saturday we hung around the house in our pjs, my mom (Nana Lou) came by for a visit, went to Hobby Lobby, went out for ice cream, did a craft, and had bath time.  I handed the camera to my husband several times and a lot of the photos you see are by him.  

Sure, the photos aren't perfect composition and or even edited perfectly, but they are us!  And I know we will cherish them.  

Would you want a similar "day in the life" shoot done for your family?  

A love story....

What could be better than this?  Getting to watch a love story blossom into a baby story.  

This makes my job the best in the world, seeing this unfold through my lens. 

Poll: What do you look for in a newborn photographer?

I know that there are a lot of choices when looking for a newborn photographer in the Edmond or Oklahoma City area.  With so many options, how do you narrow it down?  

There's so much to consider.  Everything from style, location, availability, price, packages, products, personality, experience......I could go on and on.  

So to give me some more insight into what makes expecting momma's tick, I would like to take a poll.  What are your biggest concerns?  If you are not an expecting parent, then please feel free to pretend you are ;-)

I would really appreciate if you would take this poll, and if you do, then you will receive a free 8x10 print with your next session! 

Eva Danielle's newborn session

As a special treat this time, this is an example of the video that is created using the photos of a newborn session.  After a session is done and has been meticulously edited, the family comes back to my home and chills out, watching a video like this on a large tv.  This is such a better way to first view the photos than seeing them on a small phone screen!  

This sweet girl is the first baby for Madalyn and Cameron Llewellyn, wedding photographers from Mustang.  She was such a little doll for her session and as you can see, was not afraid to SMILE!

The Birth of Eva Danielle

The day was long and full of patient waiting for the Llewellyn family.  While most first born babies make their momma's wait until after their due date to make their arrival, not Eva Danielle!  She didn't want to miss the fun of Christmas! 

Cameron and Madalyn gave me the honor of documenting her very first birthday.  This is one very loved little girl!  A full waiting room and family waiting patiently for hours into the night. 

Then at 3:25 am on December 19th, the world became a better place.  She's here!  With a smooth entrance that left her mom barely breaking a sweat.  

6 pounds, 7 ounces, 18 inches long....10 fingers....10 toes.  

Welcome to the world Eva!  Happy Birthday!

And thank you Madalyn and Cameron for allowing me to be a fly on the wall for such a special occasion.
