My update.....

I just finished 2 new posts about the going ons in other peoples lives, so now I figure I can give an update from the Dorminy house! Sadly, I have no new pictures to share of us! I've been using all of my time taking pictures of other people!

I have officially reached the 27 week mark and am starting to feel a little discomfort, but not much! I really started showing in the past week or so. I am pretty sure our baby girl has doubled in size in the past two weeks! I feel her moving ALL the time now. Some nights I have a hard time going to sleep because she is so active! I start my bi-weekly doctors appointments next week!! I truly cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has FLOWN by! Now that school is back in full swing, it is only going to go faster!

We've made absolutely no progress on the nursery! It's still the guest bedroom! That is our goal for September! Get the old furniture moved out and the new furniture moved in! Her closet has definitely made some progress though! Thanks to my sister, Matt's sister, and one of my sister's neighbors our baby girl now has quite a wardrobe to choose from! As soon as we make some progress on her room, you better believe that I will post some pictures!

And the biggest news that I have failed to share with my fellow bloggers.....our baby girl has a name!!!! Her name is Raegan Claire. I wanted to use some form of the name "Ray" because that was my dad's middle name and after he passed away, my Uncle Ray really made sure that we were well taken care of! Matt actually was the first one to suggest the name and I fell in love with it!

Check out the posts below about some of my latest photo sessions!!

Family Session

You may recognize this family from a session that I did last fall. This is one of my good friends, Carrie and her family. Last fall I photographed all of her sisters and their families as well. This fall we included her husbands parents in the session. They are getting ready to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary later this fall and Carrie wanted to get some family pictures made to celebrate! These are just a few of the 450 pictures that I took this morning! I found another favorite location at this session!!

The whole Doker family

PRECIOUS KIDS!

50 years of marriage....WOW!

Newborn Session

Okay, I don't have to tell you guys that I absolutely love photography! A friend that I used to work with just had a baby boy and she asked me to come do his newborn session last weekend! I LOVE photographing newborns! I took about 2 hours for our session and captured over 200 shots. I can only imagine how many pictures I am going to end up taking of our baby girl once she arrives!!!! Here are some of my favorites of those 200+ pictures! Isn't he just precious???

He honestly looks just like a doll in this picture!

Photo Session #1 of the week

Earlier this summer, my cousin Katie had asked me if I would be able to do a Senior Photo session with her this summer. We finally got around to doing it this past week. I found a new favorite location with these pictures!!! I can't believe that Katie is starting her senior year of high school....makes me feel so old! It was so hot by the end of this session that we were both covered in sweat! Enjoy your senior year Katie!!!

Here are just a few of my favorites from the 150+ shots that I took!

There are a couple of other "NEW POSTS" below, so check them out!

Photo Session #2

Saturday evening I got to do a "multi-purpose" session with one of my dear friends and co-workers that I have had the honor of co-teaching with for the past 7 years! Diane's daughter, Sarah recently got engaged so she had asked me if I would be interested in doing an engagement session for her and Tyler, her fiance. Then Diane started thinking that maybe they would go ahead and have some family pictures done was well since they had not had any taken since Rich was 2 years old.....as you can tell in the pictures Rich is a teenager now! Sarah and Tyler's love for each other was so evident in every picture that I took. While they were posing, he kept telling her that she was the most beautiful girl in the world and just how much he loved her! Then he kept asking me if I needed any more shots of them kissing. They were ADORABLE!
