Tonight we had the honor of meeting the very special Lauren Elyse! Lauren’s parents and grandparents have been family friends of Corey’s family for quite some time. Lauren is such a trooper and the things she has accomplished are truly an inspiration. She will be undergoing open-heart surgery tomorrow for approximately 8 hours. She has quite the team of cheerleaders and the love in this family is overflowing. If you’d like to follow their story, please check out their Caring Bridge Journal for updates and keep them in your prayers!

Enjoy your sneak peek -There are a lot of favorites!

Happy Mother’s Day!  Corey and I captured this this morning in our backyard!  There is a nest in one of our trees.  We spotted the mother bird protecting her young and finding food for them.  Corey hung around after we shot this photo to make sure that she came back for them.  It was the prefect image to capture on a day that we celebrate our mothers and all that they do for us.

There were 25 entries for the Session Giveaway [+ $50 in prints]!  Thank you all so much for your sweet comments!  Thanks to my random number generator the winner is….Lacey Abraham!!  Lacey, I’ll contact you about scheduling our session together!

She has grown so much!  It is crazy that it has already been 6 months since our newborn session!

Loving these baby leggings that we found!

We couldn’t have a session without the man Isaac!

We should also warn you that there are big changes coming tomorrow to Brittani Louise Photography!  We’ve been working for a while now on a porfolio site that will allow us to offer a collection of our best images, client proofing, detailed session information, a scheduling calendar, and MUCH more!  Our website will still be www.brittanilouise.com but you will have the choice to either check out the new website or come on over to the blog to see our latest work.  Come back tomorrow to check out the new site!

I have alot of guilt because I have very much neglected my blog.  In my own defense, I’ve been out of town twice this past week AND had the flu on Spring Break.  Before last week, I can’t really defend but I hope I can be forgiven.  I stayed home from the Oliver family reunion today to rest and disinfect our house so that Corey doesn’t get sick too.  I have a lot of photos to share so please check back this week! 

xoxo Britt

Regardless of your political beliefs, I believe that today was definitely a historical moment to be witnessed.  I LOVED watching the Inauguration today at school with my students and taking it all in.  I came across this quote today and thought it was perfect.

“Those who have changed the universe have never done it by changing officials, but always by inspiring the people.” - Napoleon Bonaparte

To get ready for Thanksgiving and into the holiday spirit I decided to learn how to bake gingerbread cookies! That is one of my favorite smells! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are getting into the holiday spirit!
