mr. brody

IMG_0683
IMG_0762
he had perfect skin.
he was wide awake and calm as could be.
i loved his sweet red hair.

IMG_0684
that wrinkle in his foot?  that is just pure yumminess!

IMG_0693
we saw those eyes a lot!

IMG_0679
IMG_0737
he's a keeper.

thank you for letting me get my baby fix jeremy and libby.
although…i think it made my baby fever worse.

Dina - These pics brought me to tears…so precious. You are truly gifted.
Beautiful.

Cheryl Enlow - How precious!! You take such amazing pictures.

Emilie - So cute! Gotta love the name (MY Brody is 5 months old…AND has red hair!) – Ahhh babies!

Alyssa - Stop taking such cute baby photos…It makes me want more kids. But seriously, great job on the photos.

Christina - That last picture is stunning!
Oh, those first days and weeks.
I miss them.
And I don’t. 🙂

Meredith - Enough! I already have six children and I’m trying really, really hard to be satisfied with that. I’m barely out of my maternity bra! I swear I could smell newborn baby smell while I was looking at those photos. You really need to put a warning at the top of these posts:) Meredith xo.

Sarah - Great pics…as usual.

Starnes Fam - My Lord. I need another baby. Such a little punkin…..great pics! The one looking down on him from his head is really impactful.

maribeth - oh, those feet! beautiful baby and beautiful pictures!

LibraryGirl62 - Mine are 15 and 16~and I still miss the baby days!

Ashley Ann - I could remind you what 9 months pregnant feels like and that might help the baby fever a bit…unless you are ONE OF THOSE women who adore pregnancy. Then we can’t relate 🙂

Lori Danelle - He is so precious! and great photos. Love them!!
I think it’s good that we made our decision to be done with kids permanent because I’ve been missing the itty-bitty baby around my house already! I might just get myself in over my head with kids from baby fever otherwise!! (My 2 keep me busy enough, not sure how you Moms of more do it!!!!)
http://loridanelle.blogspot.com

CherryTreeLane - I need to get pregnant!

sassafrasanne - i want to eat the toes.
🙂 and just sniff him a while 🙂
i, too, am baby hungry.

Mindy Harris - baby fever=that makes 2 of us!
wonderful, wonderful pictures!

Kathy - So cute! Only time having rolls is cute…not so cute at 40 something!! Have a great week!

Christy - What a precious. precious little boy! Love those little baby wrinkles. Seems like a million years ago when my little boy was so little. Sigh.

erica - what a doll! i love that he has his paci in some of the shots! too precious!

susie - now if you could only add that wonderful “baby” smell to your blog!!! Oh what a doll!!! susie in texas

juliann - oh my! I want another….

"bye mom!  i 'm going on an IN-venture.  it's going to be long.  soooo….see ya!"

happy monday blog addicts.

tinycandi - I love this post! What an awesome way to capture the special little “everyday” moments that we take for granted too often. And you’re a wonderful photographer. Awesome post! I’ve enoyed reading about your California vacation, too. I haven’t been since I was 12 years old…but one day I hope to be able to take my daughters. 🙂

Ashley - Meg, Your kids have such kind faces. I love to see what you all are doing daily and of course what Annie is wearing always makes me smile.
If being addicted to whatever blog is wrong is wrong then I don’t wanna be right- LOL

Amy - I love all the pics. I love Cali!! I am going with my baby on an IN-venture next month. When are you opening your Etsy shop!!!
Amy Marinello Mumaw

Chasity - what a great fort you guys!!
chasity

Jesus Christ - well, first of all, if I can comment on Anna Maries comment….I have four kids, and STILL living in a rental…I don’t think anyone stops “dreaming”…thank goodness for that
AND
you make doing nothing look really beautiful
and yes, I am a blog addict…and thank God for THAT…it could be sooooo much worse!!!!!!!
love the Waffle shot

Traci - meg, i honestly love all your photos, but i think your everyday shots are my favorite!!

Kelly - I was internet-less for a few days so I had fun catching up. It looks like you guys have had a great realaxing start to summer.
I also wanted to tell you that I love your happy things list on your sidebar. They do indeed make me happy. And then make me feel like I need to buy things.

Staci - Just “hangin’ out is always good to me 🙂 My most favorite days of Summer actually!!!! I can admit it…yep, I’m an addict 🙂 Does that make you my dealer?? hee hee! A very good dealer I must say!!!!

Penny - Seeing the pictures makes me think of when our girls were little. What fun, forts! My girls are college (2) and High school (1) age now. Miss those days! Love the picture of Waffle. We all love that dog. We also have a litter of 9 goldendoodle pups. We hope they will all be as wonderful as Waffle. Check them out. http://www.adamscreekgoldendoodles.com

meaghan easterhaus - i love your creative camera angles. i need to get better at that!

Sarah - Pigtails, Uno and bubbles…love them.

a thorn among roses - love love love the dog and ice cream shot!!!

Amber - so “addicted” i had to run out and get my own copy of the infamous issue of Country Living!! I love that magazine anyway…so it was a good excuse to grab one at the grocery store.
love your blog. it inspires me!!

Hillary @ The Other Mama - Love, love ALL the pics! Adorable! And a perfect representation of summer!

Kyleigh - Oh blimey… I think I’m a blog addict…!
Your pictures just get better and better, love it.
We’re having a lovely hot summer (so far) in the south of england – after rubbish and very WET summers for the last 2 years everyone is SO happy (despite everyone losing their jobs!!) Go sunshine! Go!

sandy toe - Hanging out is a good thing!
sandy toe

elizabeth - yeah–I loved the surprise of the “blog addict” comment. look who’s calling the kettle black, right?

Meredith - Beautiful photos as per usual – thanks for a great perspective on Monday. Do I detect a painting project in one of your living areas? Hope your Tuesday is just as delightful. Meredith xo.

alice - looks like a fun summer 🙂

Marla - Call Clara! She’s in Kansas right now with my parents @ 283-8988.

Christine - yes yes
i’m a blog addict!!!
o.k. i lOVE the picture of annie with the sun glasses!!!
truly made me smile!
thanks. 🙂

Katy Durec - I love your pictures, they are the perfect remedy for a boring, rainy Monday here in KY.
I recently cut my daughter some bangs and my sister (who led me to your blog) told me that with her bangs she resembles Annie. I take this as a great compliment! 🙂

Lazy Mom Leslie - I have said this before and thought it 800 more times than that! Will you please come and be my neighbor so I can feed you margaritas to document my life? With or without salt? Thank you.

Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Looks like wonderful summer fun. I love your dog. He is just the cutest!

Morgan - wow scotts hair is darker

C Rose - Ok, so I’m new to the blog stuff and have NO idea how I found yours. I love it though… I love your pictures! Really they are great!!! I am a mom of two and my husband and I are full time in the ministry… I always try to have everything perfect in the house, and my kids neatly dressed with matching everything from shoes to bows:) Now, looking at your pictures it refreshing to see that you can have everything together just, not perfect…
That sounds not so much like a compliment but, it totally is!!!! I love the way your kids dress and mostly I love seeing the love you have for life and FAMILY!!!!! It seems to be hard to come by these days…

Sandy - “blog addicts” – got a kick out of that! You know us as well as we know you. 🙂

adrienne - looks like home to me! waffle is seriously behaving while waiting for a lick of that ice cream cone, too cute!

Vera - Aaaw someone get the puppy some ice cream! Great pics!

Sara at Be Still and Know - looks like alotta summer fun going on around there! …..the indoor blanket fort definently should win a ‘fort contest’ …they have those right? Thanks for sharing so much happiness!

Georgia - Love the blog!!! it gets better and better! lol xxx

joy c. tilton - Ahh to be a kid again…summer, that delicious season where life is good. No school, no homework and the opportunity to have an ice cream cone unexpectedly!

Sara - Okay, I am the blog addict! ha! love your blog…love the pictures. Reminds me to chill out and not worry so much about getting stuff accomplished!

Mrs. - HEY! I RESEMBLE THAT LAST STATEMENT!

Michele renee - I found you from the Clover Lane site and enjoyed looking at your trip to Cali. My hubs and I went to Monterey and Carmel and Big Sur on honeymoon a long, long time ago, and I lived in Santa Monica from age 4 till 20. We are in Atlanta and finished road trip from here to St. Louis, thru Kansas (stayed in Manhattan and I hear there is a ball of twine above I-70 on I-24 about 2 hours west of there). And yes, the ball of twine from Vacation movie–which we quoted a million times. Then to Colorado to Estes park for the Rocky Mountain Park and then to SD for Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse and Badlands and then drove thru Iowa and St. Louis again (loved it) and home again. Mine have never been to Cali and that is next year! Love your photos and the one with the squirrel’s arms up? A riot!!

Jess - Great fort. The best part of summer is the “just hanggin’ out” part!
I am defiantly addicted to your blog!

Kathy - Fun, fun in the sun!! Great pictures you make playing Uno look good and colorful. Have a great week!

kaitlynsage - I love love love love your desk! Where did it come from? How does it look so great and old and modern all at the same time?

Molly Pearce - I wanna come play!!! Your summer looks like so much fun!!! Forts, side walk chalk and bubbles reminds me of my childhood!!!!
~Molly P

Jenn N - Hey, do I see “forts” with blankets over the furniture? My kids love doing this and I loved it as child too.

Anna Marie - I really want more kids and I really want to be able to stay home with them. I know it is probably hard and stressful at times but I would love to have what you have. You are so blessed. Not that I am not…it could still happen for me. Only one kiddo so far and living in a rental…I “dream” when I visit your blog. Thank you!

Lori - I love seeing your pictures 🙂 And, just hanging out sounds just perfect. Hope you’re enjoying it!

sophie

and her family.

IMG_9173
this could be my new most favorite shot ever.
sophie with her mom and dad…and baby on the way.  :)
and she is wearing my most favorite of all the Cora dresses.

IMG_9188
IMG_9198
IMG_9196
precious.
click on it….it's just….precious.
goes right to your heart.

sophie's mom wanted to try some fun girlie pics with colorful balloons.
great idea!
but sophie…she didn't think so.

here's what we got.

IMG_9221
1.  do i have to?

IMG_9224
2. but WHY do i have to…i just want my jelly bean.
(that little belly sticking out is calling to be tickled!)

IMG_9226
3. i asked her "what color is elmo?"
she didn't want to talk to me anymore.

IMG_9228
4.  she let go.
we were all busy trying to get her to smile that we forgot to remind her to hold on tight.
oops.

IMG_9245
it was their anniversary coming up.
i love anniversaries.

IMG_9249

after sophie got some candy she was happy again.
we bribe because we care.
IMG_9279
IMG_9177
oh i hope we get to do this again…i had such a nice time.
thanks sophie.
and sharla and nathan too.  

funny story:
sharla's mom came to pick up her CD for her…she's a really nice and sweet lady.  
she came an hour early.
9:30 instead of 10:30 AM.
well…it's summer now and i had only been awake about 10 minutes.
but after i saw it was her i opened the door anyway.  
she got the REAL me.
nightgown…teeth not brushed…messed up hair…no bra!
sooooo professional.
oh it was her lucky day.
i'm sorry cindy.
i hope you were able to cope after that scene so early in the morning.
ha!

gina - Those pictures are awesome! ESPECIALLY the ones with the balloons- priceless.

a thorn among roses - balloons…great idea! and great shots. cute fam.

Thebluestbutterfly - I like the balloon pick where the fence is the next shot…because when I looked at them real quickly it looked like she was walking on top of the fence. 🙂

Christina - Some days I go all day without my bra! Yikes, too much info, huh?
I spotted that Cora dress from a mile away (you know…). So sweet!
And precious is the perfect word. I thought it and then read it beneath the very next picture. I agree with jennymama, I wish you were near!

Elisa - we bribe because we care 🙂

Traci - another awesome photo shoot. they are an adorable family. her dress is the cutest.

Kate - Wow! What a great pic! Great job, Meg!

Ashley Ann - Great shots…they capture seem to capture the personality of their family. I love the one where she is facing the wall with the balloons. And congrats on the magazine feature – they made a good choice selecting you. So jealous that you get to sleep till 9am…someday, someday.

Mattie - More great pics. I’m always inspired by your photography and crafts. My daughter(14)loves all the color shots and does her own versions. Thanks for the repost of “I could live here.” More inspiration for her room.
It feels weird…I don’t know you, but you really do bless me all the time. Thanks for sharing the creativity.

Kelly - Oh these are AMAZING!!!! I knew that was a Cora dress right away! Love how it coordinates with mom’s dress. I love the ones with the balloons, especially the first and last. Those are priceless and that all yellow outift, cute, cute! Love the one with the heart shaped sucker too and I think “we bribe because we care” is so funny! 🙂 The couple shots are GREAT. So fun! Kelly

Cindy - Meg – You do an amazing job. I love these pictures and I knew I would – THAT is why I showed up an hour early! Well, anyway, you were so gracious about it all – I’m the one that was embarrassed!

Kathy - I love these photo the colors they are wearing really photo well together. Cute family!

Sharla B. - Meg–thank you, thank you, thank you! We’re very happy with the pictures. You are so sweet and fun, and incredibly engaging/patient with our very-much-2-year-old Sophie. 🙂 I love how you bring surprise goodie bags for the kids at your shoots–so you! We will be calling you again sometime after Baby #2 is here! Thanks again.

Jill J - You are too funny! “no bra!” HA! Anyway, lovely pictures! I love the mom’s red dress, so cute!

sandy toe - What a cute young family!
sandy toe

Patti - ok…i know i’m repeating myself, but love the photos…again! i’m so stealing that idea with the balloons. love it! have a great weekend!

Christy - Awesome photos Meg! I think the back turned one is my favorite. How cute!
Love the Cora dress too!

Laura - these are my favorite pics of a family…and I need that Cora dress…..

Sara at Be Still and Know - the balloons are fabulous….i may ‘borrow’ that idea! 🙂 thanks for stopping by too 🙂 ……theses pics are great!

Mindy Harris - I would have liked to have thought my hubbie, son, and I are the cutest family on earth, but, no–the award goes to these guys!
This family is adorable–I have met them before and they are as precious as they photograph.
These pictures are superb.

AnNicole@OurSuburbanCottage - Fantastic photos! Are you anywhere near Kansas City. I visit my aunt up there sometimes and I may just need to arrange a family “portrait” on one of my trips. Seriously…let me know.

Steph - I LOVE the photos! You did an amazing job! What a beautiful family! Hey, do you ever come up to Chicago anymore? If so, I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have you take pics of my family. 🙂 lol You are amazing!

Vera - Beautiful!
You know those vinyl wall letters that people get with quotes on them? I think I’m going to commission some for my living room – maybe above my fireplace mantel – that say “we bribe because we care.” Classic.

Leigh Ann - too funny. I love to answer the door like that! i have a beauty salon at my home, so it can really throw a person off. i’m sure they spend the rest of the day thinking “and she runs a beauty salon!!!!”

jamie - Love this Shoot, what a Beautiful and Sweet Family. The Balloon shots, Perfect. Im sure she understands the whole, No bra, teeth not brushed, hair a mess thing. Its Summer! Jamie

Jennifer P. - beatiful! I LOVE the shots with the balloons—how clever!

Lindy - Awesome pictures. However, I want Sophie’s rainbow shoes. Do you think they have my size?

Lori - These are so good. I honestly laughed out loud when I saw her little face in the balloon pictures! (I think the people in my office are starting to get used to my outbursts—finally).
And Sharla, as I assume you will read this, Congrats on the new baby!! You must be like 2 seconds along because you’re still so skinny!!! With my second, my Mom and I were joking that I MUST be pregnant because my stomach was sticking out—only to find out later that I really was!!!
http://loridanelle.blogspot.com

A pocket full of posies... - if you ever come to Memphis….I want you take a million pictures for us!!!! really! a MILLION!!!! cause you are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!!! 🙂 (really!)

4JJM - You just make me laugh!

the tulip lady - Okay, so that lovely family looks like models, the kissing daddy shot…STOP…your KILLING me!!!! And the shot with her back to you…it couldn’t have been planned better if you tried!!! Great work…all of you.
Hmmm, and it’s 9:30am, I’m still in PJs, 4 year old is asking when are we going to get dressed. I think I deserve mom of the year if we ALL get dressed by 10:00am.

Wendy - I love the 1st balloon pick – gotta love that face! And that little belly is pretty darn cute, too!

Jenn Thomas - so natural and real – that is what I love about your pictures. What a pouting face.

brooke - wow…i would absolutely love to have you take our family photos! these are so great!! i have one of penny with her back facing the photo because she was “done” with the session and the studio brought it out to me in black and white because it was just amazing and i still have it up and framed it is one of my favorites…so i absolutely love the one of her with the balloons facing the wall…

maribeth - love the one of her when she decided not to talk to you anymore! ha! now that is real life.

jennymama - I’m begging you-PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to Richmond, VA. I would do anything to have you take pics of my family. These are just amazing.

my friends

let's take a break from the vacation slideshow shall we? yeah….we're only halfway through!  

***********************************************************************************************

these kids are so sweet.

their parents are in our small group…so i get to hold the baby often.
but he's growing so fast.
here are his newborn pictures if you don't recognize him.  

so we met up at the park for a kids photo session.
youngest to oldest….

i asked her to give me some attuitude…she did.

IMG_9089

and then we did just sisters….
IMG_9132
IMG_9136

then we did brothers…
IMG_9070
don't you just want to smoosh him up in your arms?
those pudgy fingers and the double chin are too cute!

then all together…
IMG_9144
IMG_9149
i liked them both.
you can see on Nash (big brother) that he has some bumps and scrapes.
his mom got out of the car that day and said "a mosquito got in our house and attacked him!
he didn't have these bumps an hour ago!"
there had to be 10 bites and some were on face…even his nose.
poor little guy.
i said "well…now he looks like he's ALL boy" 

and their mom should be given an award.
she was behind me the whole time being SUPER SILLY getting her kids to smile.
way to go missy!
your hard work paid off….hope you love these!

Karina - These make me want to have a fourth child…almost! Adorable!!! I also love the sisters shots best.

Chasity - it’s so unfair that the double chin works so well for babies and loses it’s cuteness somewhere along the way! 😉
have a wonderful day.
chasity

Cate O'Malley - The one of the little boy giving his brother a kiss gave me goosebumps – great snaps, as always!

kate - he’s adoooorable.
oh babies and their double chins, nothing’s better.
ready for more cali! bring it on!
-kate

Donna - Love the last one where the two boys both have their fingers in their mouths!

artbyanya - I love the black and white one, the brotherly kiss, the best. Your photos are amazing, I love them all.

Sharla - Ooh, I love the ones of them laying down in the grass and looking up and all of them in the wagon. I’m collecting ideas! 🙂

Lisa K in FL - Those are so sweet! Could those boys look any more alike?! I hope Missy enjoys nibbling on all that baby pudge 🙂

sandy toe - Very cute kids!

Mod Girl - My favorite shot is the sisters in color, it’s beautiful. I love how their eyes are all lit up. Nice work!

brooke - what gorgeous children!! seriously adorable! great photos!

Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Just awesome pics! You rock and those kids are super cute!

kaitlynsage - I want to have babies specifically so that I can make them wear overalls. It may have to do with my southern genes, but I’m fairly ok with that.
Those pictures are fantastic.

Ruth - Love that brother picture! Great job!

Shana - I’m going to sneak over to Missy’s house and take that Nash home with me! They are all adorable…just feel the need to make him silly at the worst times (sorry Missy).

Kathy - Great shots you really captured the cuteness in them.

Erin - Beautiful pictures! I love outdoor pictures! What cuties!

A pocket full of posies... - Oh my goodness!!! Pure sweetness!!! and I would have to hold that baby the whole time too… Precious!!! Great job! 🙂

Vera - Those are some mighty cute kids! Great pictures!

3. smiles don't always have to be big to see happiness…
talby saw these and said of ryan "his eyes look friendly"….i almost cried.
4. BUG SPRAY

Susan - These are great photos, Megan! Of course, I’m biased because they are my family. I’d be hard pressed to pick my favorite. I love the one of Jacklyn with the pink rose – so glad you captured her “nose crinkle” which we love so much. I really like the one of Major in the clover, too. I wondered if you’d post one of him with his fingers in his nose, LOL. I think my favorite is the one of Jacklyn holding the flowers and looking back at her little brother. And Talby is right – Ryan is friendly – he’s just doesn’t smile when posing for pictures!

Julie K. - Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. You inspire me!
I was just going to tell you I saw Annie in Country Living! Looks like I’m not the only one. Oh my gosh, I feel like I know a famous person!!

sandy toe - Where is the dad’s smile????
