Our littlest family member is 4 months old!  She rolls like crazy and talks up a storm! Her newest thing is that she loves to sit up. She can only sit for a few seconds balancing on her hands, but she loves to sit up on laps and in her Bumbo seat. Whoever invented that is awesome! Here she is on my new little set up at the studio. Crazy colorful and so much fun!

This week has been a whirlwind week of things to do and sick kids to attend to.  Today seemed to be the light at the end of the tunnel, but another one bit the dust when I found him passed out in my bed with a fever.  Just in time for the weekend, woohoo!  (can you hear the sarcasm?)  I hope this passes fast for him.

On a different note, I will be out of town Friday afternoon through Saturday.  I can be reached by email only during this time.  Meanwhile, don’t forget to keep those Single Parent nominations coming!  Deadline is the 15th.

Last year was the first year I tried this, and I really enjoyed doing these.  We mother’s, we don’t like to get in front of the camera too often.  We like our hair and make up to be perfect, and often they aren’t since we spend our days juggling kids, house, errands and jobs.  It’s important that we make the time to have pictures taken.  And not just of the whole family, but those individual relationships within your family.  They are precious and fleeting. They need to be photographed.  Our memories are often times tied to images, photographs.  Make sure you are in those images.

Through the month of April these sessions will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

30 minutes of fun and giggles
10-15 final images to view
Your favorite 8×10 custom framed in a beautiful Organic Bloom frame of your choosing.

All for just $200 plus tax. If you have multiple children they may all participate, but keep in mind the session time and amount of final images remains the same. Call 479-366-2702 or email (info@mjwphotography.com) to schedule your session today.  Space is limited.

For children of all ages.  Excludes newborns under 3 months old.

A third boy.  Oh boy oh boy OH BOY! (as an excited friend put it).  When each of my children were born I never could look at them and figure out who they were going to look like, but little Tripp here…he sure looks like his brother Tate!  Right down to that adorable chin dimple.

It’s been a while since I’ve shot a newborn session at a client’s home.  Not on purpose though.  I love shooting in homes since it’s always fresh and inspiring surrounding, but since I opened my studio most newborn clients come in.  This was such a special treat for me and mom!

I ventured upstairs while mom was feeding for a bit to play with the big boys in their new bedroom.  They were still in their pajamas, but who cares?  🙂  One of the fun things about moving from NWA to the east coast was they got a new room…and it’s a lot bigger!  I was a bit jealous myself because I’d love to have my own play area.  😉

We have a whole series of images of the boys playing around on mom’s bed, but I’ll show you these two.  They were waiting to take pictures with new baby brother and killed some time with a bit of wrestling.  So adorable, aren’t they?

I just have to show this sibling shot.  Tripp wanted to keep his legs stretched out all the time!  His mom said he was like that inside as well.  Always up under her ribs.  🙂

A little impromptu outdoor shot later in the day.  After an afternoon of chit chat someone said it was 60° outside.  And the rest is history as they say.  🙂

Katie, I am thrilled that you allowed me to come out and photograph Tripp’s entrance to the world and his first photo session.  I had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come again!  xoxo

It’s a boy!  This is their third child and it’s another boy.  Three’s a charm!  Katie was amazing during labor, although I’m sure she feels a bit differently about that.  🙂  Just like at their last child’s birth she brought along her Friend’s CD and we watched some episodes to help take her mind off the contractions.  I wasn’t sure what to expect at this hospital since I’ve never traveled outside of NWA for a birth, but the hospital and staff were great.  I was so jealous of the bathrooms in this hospital.  Every L&D room had a bathtub with jets instead of that unfriendly shower.  Katie had such a wonderful labor nurse, Sara.  She was a hoot!  Once little man was born he got to stay in the room for a nice, long time.  They even brought bath-time to us and mom got to help bathe him for the first time.

Tripp William Henson entered the world on March 4th, 2013 at 1:44pm.  He weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long.

He is beautiful.
