March Maddness is ALMOST here... </div>

Anyone else super excited to fill out a bracket? </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I know I sure am! I'm sure some are more excited than I, but I seriously love "guessing" who will be the winner of it all. Todd and I do one with each other every year. We fill it out by ourselves, then compare it with each other and for some reason, we always have the same winner! What is that all about? My guess is that great minds think alike! Ha! I honestly have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to predicting the winner, it really is a "guessing game" to me. It sure is quite entertaining, so I'll take it! </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Speaking of entertaining, I can think of a few other things that are entertaining off the top of my head... this game called <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/miniongames/tahiti-board-game">Tahiti</a>, (if you haven't played it, you must, it's super fun!), watching my 18 month old play keep away with an empty peanut butter jar with our dog (all Maddox wants is the peanut butter, but why does this child keep taking it away? Poor guy! Ha!), this little spunky 6 month old that is super entertaining, and I would even go as far as to say she is more entertaining than the whole March Maddness! <i>***GASP***</i> Yes, I know, a very bold statement, but she is the sweetest, cutest, most spunky little muffin you've ever met. I just want to kiss all over her cheeks and make her smile all day... she's got such a sweet smile and such a cute laugh! Love her!!!! </div>

It's so close I can smell it!<br />
<br />
With Daylight Savings just happening, you can now hear the birds chirping really early in the morning, which is so prevalent in the summer. The past two weeks have been a little rough around here. But we are hanging on, and the hope of spring is helping us get through it all. Cabin fever is really hitting us here... Warm weather please hurry!<br />
<br />
One of the MANY, many reasons I love spring is because I get to take more photos outside! Aghhh... I love a good outdoor session where I can lay in the green grass and get some dirt on my clothes. Have the sun warm my back as I lay there... I can just picture it right now. <br />
<br />
To tide me (& you guys) over until we can showcase some more of those sessions, I'll settle for a few photos of one of the cutest little love muffins around... Baby Knightly!<br />
<br />
Knightly is such a sweet baby... not a big fan of getting her photos taken, but she survived and we got some great ones to show just how sassy she is and will be when she gets older. Ha!<br />
<br />
Look at those beautiful eyes...<br />

<br />
Last week was a great week! Todd and I got away just the TWO of us just for a few days, but it was so needed. I'm not sure the last time we've done that... ok, yeah I do! It was back in October for ONE night because I had an engagement photo shoot over in Grand Haven. Before that one? It was pre-baby! Aghh... Haha! Boy how kids change your life huh?! I honestly don't know how people do it with more than one... my one is a handful and I find myself being exhausted by the end of the day and wishing there was more hours to the day. They go by so fast... which is why I sometimes feel so overwhelmed with things on my "to-do" lists. One thing will get crossed off, but three things will be added to it. It's a never ending battle!<br />
<br />
But last week, Todd and I snuck away for a few days, while the dog watched Jackson. That's ok right?! Kidding! I know better than that. But we LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE a place up north that we used to always go to...Traverse City, Michigan AKA: Best place on earth. It's so beautiful, quiet yet still things to do, great places to eat, great places to stay, just an all around great and wonderful place to be! I envy those who live up there, but if I wonder if it would be the same if I lived there... I doubt it, it's so beautiful it's hard not to love this place.<br />
<br />
We will be heading to Indiana tomorrow for a quick visit to my family, but will be back in action next week. I'm so excited we are getting closer to the warmer weather... only a few more WEEKS! Remember last year when next week it would have been 60 degrees? I don't think that's going to happen this year, but sure was a great memory!<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />

<br />
I sure do, but not on purpose. I don't even eat much candy, but yesterday I spent a good portion of the day trying to make a REALLY good chocolate chip cookie for my husband, who REALLY likes them. I had made some before that were REALLY good, but what did I do? I tried to make "that" version of cookie, but more... (gasp) HEALTHY!<br />
<br />
I know... I know... I know... I totally messed up! But it's in my nature to try and think about how I can make a REALLY bad thing into a NOT-SO bad thing. I mean cookies are really yummy, but let's face it, they aren't the best thing for you, right?!<br />
<br />
Well needless to say, I messed up completely and the Valentine's Day cookie was more like a ball of goop! I guess that's what I get for putting mashed avocado in place of butter. Haha! But I guess I didn't feel as bad when Jackson ate one and Todd spit one out. At least they someone likes my cooking.<br />
<br />
It was the thought that counts right? I'll keep telling myself that...<br />
<br />
Happy Valentine's Day from us over here... We hope your day was wonderful and less chocolate than we had... Haha!<br />

<br />
I know I sure am... well any kind of exercise and I am. Lately, I've been waking up at 5am in order to get at least an hour on the treadmill before I start my day. It also gives me some time to have for myself, which is rare to come these days.<br />
<br />
A few years back, I assisted a track team and Matt was in charge of this track team. It was a ton of fun and the kids were awesome! I was always involved in soccer, so running came pretty natural to me... especially long distance, which is what I helped with. Matt met a girl named Amy, who is not a runner, but sure looks like one and Amy instantly became Matt's biggest cheerleader. She is absolutely perfect for him and the minute I met her, I knew it! Amy is the most thoughtful, sweet, caring woman around... she is incredible and I'm so happy the two met and fell in love! Their wedding was so full of love, friendship, personality, laughter... it was such a fun day and it was an honor to be a part of it!<br />
<br />
Congratulations you guys... we loved being a part!<br />

<br />
I woke up last Thursday with a super sore throat... It felt like a fireball was stuck there, and it burned so bad every time I swallowed. Let's just say every chance I got to spit, I did! Ha! But the minute it stopped hurting, my nose started running... Ugh! One thing then the next! I wonder the minute I stop blowing my nose what will happen?! Let's hope that's it though. It seems like everyone is sick, especially this time of year. But how can you avoid it when one day is almost 60 degrees and the next is 20 and a blizzard outside? All I know is that I am counting down the days until it's spring... we are only 50 days away!<br />
<br />
Speaking of 50 days...<br />
<br />
Someone I know has only been alive about 50 days, and he's the sweetest, cutest little love muffin named Jacob. Oh he's so precious and such a little cuddler. I just met him the other day and I love him so much already. My dear yoga friend, <a href="http://veldmanphoto.blogspot.com/2011/07/fun-times-friday-renee-yogini.html">Renee</a>, who moved out to Seattle last year after getting <a href="http://veldmanphoto.blogspot.com/2012/01/kris-renee-wedding.html">married</a> happened to be in town this week and we planned a little session for her newest love bug. What a blessing it was to see them both. I miss her so much! She's such a sweet and uplifting spirit... she's so strong and courageous, especially moving way across the country without even knowing anyone except her new husband. I think she's doing quite well and I cannot wait until the next visit she makes here.<br />
<br />
Congratulations my love... Jacob is so precious and it was an honor to hold him and capture him while you were here!<br />
<br />
He's so adorable!<br />

Anyone know how to get their child to sleep past 6 am? </div>

Oh heavens... I sure wish there was a magic trick for that one. It's days like today I wish I drank coffee, but cannot stand the taste of it, so I'll stick with my green tea. But of course that doesn't give me much energy. Oh well... living the dream right?! I'm loving most of the minutes... tired or not. I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead right?! Ha! </div>

Brandon and Diana are literally the sweetest couple... both are so warm, so friendly, and so genuine. They are full of love... and SO IN LOVE! It was great to spend the day with them while they became husband and wife, and their wedding was absolutely incredible! </div>

<br />
I grew up with a few, but always wish I had more. I always wanted to belong to a big family and remember in college when I visited a friend's family and there were six of them. Each one of them had their own personality, their own unique style, their own interests, it was so intriguing to me. Ever since then, I had this desire to have a big family. Still working on that though... haha! But one thing I'm excited for is for Jackson to belong to a big family... that's still being worked on from all angles, as well. We're going to have to talk to a few people and have to do some persuading to get some new life to being born, but we have some time... Haha!<br />
<br />
But in the meantime, we are enjoying each and every little family member that comes along. One of those precious little ones is our little cousin Nora Jane. She is the sweetest, most precious little girl and we love when we get to see her as she's growing so quickly, as most kids do. She is honestly the sweetest! I realize she is much bigger now, but I can't forget how precious she was when she was just born....<br />
<br />
Here are just a few of my favorites... Happy Friday!<br />

I loved how unexpectedly warm it was!<br />
<br />
It reminded me of a wedding we did last year that was suppose to be extremely cold weather, but it happened to be unexpectedly warm as well.<br />
<br />
It was an awesome couple named Ryan and Samantha. They were so incredible! They were sweet, fun, so full of love, just an absolute joy to be around! They had the best weather for the wedding and closer to the evening, the sky became even more incredible, which added such sweet photos for their day! I couldn't believe how great it was, well... I take that back, I knew it was going to be fun, but it's always a fear of photographers to not be able to take advantage of the outdoors for photos and we did not even have to worry about that at all, which made the day even more AMAZING!<br />
<br />
Check out a few of our favorites from their day...<br />

YAY!!! I'm so excited...<br />
<br />
For one, it's FRIDAY and who doesn't love that day?! And for two, it's warmer than it has been all year... Haha! Yay!<br />
<br />
I can only dream we have a winter like we did last year... not much snow, warm temps early on, and unexpected sunshine that would warm your skin to a nice shade of brown. That would be A-MAZING!<br />
<br />
I'm not a huge fan of winter. I hate being cold, but I guess you will have that for a little while when you live in a state that does indeed get cold and snow. I kind of wish it's like last year when we got warm weather earlier and it stayed warm. I'm looking forward to that already and it's not even half way through January. Let's just say my fingers are crossed! Ha... But I have been enjoying the few days this week with warmer temps to at least get outside for some fresh air and a walk. It has been much needed.<br />
<br />
I have enjoyed watching my little man get all bundled up, the few times we have done this, to see if he enjoys the snow... So far, he's not a huge fan, but it could be the lack of mobility he has with the massive layers he has on. He is literally a human marshmallow! Poor guy... at least he has a good attitude.<br />

Happy Friday Everyone! Enjoy the warm temps over the weekend... I'm sure it will get cold again!Veldman Photohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08598392026303645644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865873575390632700.post-39256930782534813962013-01-08T14:50:00.002-05:002013-01-08T14:51:34.468-05:00Johnny & Abbey :: Wedding (Columbus, OH)Brrr... it's a cold one today!<br />
<br />
I would be ok with it, if we were to keep our heat up higher than we do. I'm walking around our house with probably four layers of clothing on, along with wool socks. I'm not quite sure why our house is so cold, but it is and I'm tempted to put some fingerless gloves on so I can continue typing here... haha!<br />
<br />
Oh well... that's winter for you!<br />
<br />
I am excited to have some time today to keep catching back up on all the posts I missed out on and one of those shoots was a wedding we did last year that was super cool and extra special in my heart. My roommate from college was married and asked us to be a part. Unfortunately, it was one of those weddings where only I could attend since it was down in Columbus, OH and Todd had to watch the little man, but it was amazing!<br />
<br />
It was my first time meeting her now-husband, and they were are beautiful, happy, sweet, loving with each other... absolutely PERFECT for each other! Little did I know that shortly after their wedding they would move up here to Michigan and she is currently living only THREE miles away from us. Talk about a dream come true for us all!<br />

Oh my goodness...<br />
<br />
How embarrassing... it's been 6 months since I've had the time to blog?!<br />
<br />
Yes, I say it that way... "since I've had the 'TIME'" for a big reason...<br />
<br />
Being a working mom is no joke, a 24 hour/7 day a week job, add in there all the house duties: cooking, cleaning, laundry, dishes, etc... just writing that makes me exhausted. Add all the photo work we've had this past year, plus editing WHILE watching your very active child, that's just crazy right there. Oh and the fact that my 16 month old child JUST started sleeping through the night. Yes, you definitely read that right, he's FINALLY sleeping through the night, well most nights. The past couple he's been getting up because he was fighting a cold, but seriously, I envied those mom's who said their child start sleeping through the night at 6 - 8 weeks. I'm even more exhausted writing that as well. Then the past couple months, I had a hernia surgery and the holidays were here... so it was recovery and travel to visit family. Phew...<br />
<br />
But my goal is to keep back up with you all at least once a week... sometimes we'll try and to more, but for now, that is seriously all I have time for. I plan to do a full recap of last year in the near future, but to leave you with the cutest little baby girl I had the opportunity to shoot just earlier today... adorable!!!<br />

<br />
I can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted anything... Ek! I'm so sorry!<br />
<br />
Life sure is INSANE at the moment.<br />
<br />
To sum up the past month, we had quite a few weddings in a row, while trying to get ready for vacation. I'm not sure why we planned a vacation right in the middle of wedding season, but a girl still has to get some sun in the summer too, right?! We got back from vacation to hit right back into the weddings, while hosting a house full of family to celebrate the 4th with. Phew... It's been a busy summer so far and I feel like it's almost over. Boo! I guess it's only July and summer "technically" just began a few weeks ago, but still... makes me sad!<br />
<br />
But we had a great stretch of weddings, before we headed to the most beautiful place on earth. The couples that we worked with were A-MAZING, as usual. Then we had about 10 days of down time while we travelled to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. What a fun trip! We had a blast and our little guy had a TON of fun as well!<br />
<br />
We had lots of first for our little man, this past month as well, as he has learned to sit up in his crib, which scared me half to death when it happened, I went to check on him through our video monitor and he's sitting up trying to hoist himself out of the crib. Then it seemed like the next day, he wants to do more and more dare devilish things, including getting a nice bloody lip that wouldn't stop bleeding, to banging his head against our brick fireplace... I'm sure this is just the beginning! Haha!<br />
<br />
But vacation was super nice! If anyone has never been to the Outer Banks, I totally recommend it! Todd used to go every summer as a kid, and I had the oppurtunity to go when we first got married. But this time was even better. It was actually warm, since last time it was freezing, and our little man got to go on his first real road trip.<br />
<br />
It felt so good to get some sun and not worry about doing anything except relaxing, which is actually a lot harder than I thought. We went from rush, rush, rush to slow, slow, slow... and that in itself is hard to do.<br />
<br />
We did spend each morning walking the beach (both Jackson & my favorite part). He seriously LOVED the beach...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_1671-2.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Most afternoons either laying in the pool, teaching our little guy to swim, or playing with lots of people inside, since we all know Jackson wasn't blessed with the greatest skin coloring, he's going to be a burner. But he did great and had fun...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_1699.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
And most evenings playing games, laughing, more walks, and for myself... sleeping! Ha! I'm pretty sure most nights I was asleep before it was dark outside, you can call me either smart or lame, but Jackson was not sleeping well, which meant I was up all night as well! Poor guy and mama!<br />
<br />
All in all it was a perfect trip as a family...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_3757.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Here are a few I had the chance to take with my camera for his 10 month photos...<br />

<br />
He sure is perfect!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_3658-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
"What is this I'm sitting in?"<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_3593-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
"Mmmm... it's yummy!" Ha!<br />
<br />

<br />
This is how he claps... he uses his elbow... haha! (See video below)<br />
<br />

<br />
Wiggling his lips... he's so funny! (See video below as well)<br />
<br />

<br />
The new tricks he has learned...<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SgnqztYw5pM" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
But summer continued and we came into our first fever, which was terrible! I felt so bad for him... he looked terrible as well...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_1788-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
He FINALLY got over it, which I'm so thankful for... but then my family made the trip up to visit for the holiday. I was so excited since I hadn't seen them since April. But unfortunately, the trip did not go as planned. My sister came down with some kind of sickness and was pretty much quarenteened for the time she was here, then it rained and fireworks were cancelled, and then they left. Waa Waaa... What a bummer! But I guess you'll have that.<br />
<br />
I did get a chance to see these two cuties...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_7302copy-1.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
And Jackson had fun playing with them both...<br />

<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_7348.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Plus he has since learned a NEW trick...<br />

<br />
This is one proud and now even BUSYER mama!<br />
<br />
I'm working hard on keeping up on everything, but clearly I've failed miserably. I might just have to do a recap of the sessions we've had to catch up completely!<br />
<br />
Happy Holiday everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful time with family and friends!<br />

<br />
I know it's almost over, but I've been looking forward to this month all year! May is usually the sign that summer is just a blink away, and the good news is... there's no snow coming anytime soon! We have at LEAST 6-8 months before any signs of that happening again. YAY!<br />
<br />
Speaking of snow...<br />
<br />
I think the one time it did snow this past winter was one weekend we had back to back weddings, and it was so beautiful for photos. I know, I know... I'm such a terrible blogger that I'm JUST getting time to sit down during naptime to bust out another post. Having a kid is no joke! I don't know how people do multiple kids and get ANYTHING done... I think one is a workout in itself! Ha!<br />
<br />
Brent and Nichole were married on one of those gorgeous, snowy, yet warm days a few months back. Todd met Nichole about a year ago when she started working at the same company. Before I was introduced to her and Todd said, "You and her would get along great because you both are vegans." (This was during the time I was not eating meat or dairy myself.) I thought to myself that was a really weird statement, I didn't know that all vegans got along... Haha! But I realized later, after I met her, why he said that. It wasn't because we ate similar, it was because she is super sweet and someone that you can instantly get along with.<br />
<br />
We were so excited to be a part of such a special day!!! It was so much fun with LOTS of smiles and laughter!<br />
<br />
Congratulations you two... Todd and I are so happy for you!<br />
<br />

<br />
I take that back... today is one of the BEST days of the year...<br />
<br />
Today is the day the love of my life was born!<br />
<br />
As I looked back at what I wrote<a href="http://veldmanphoto.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-birthday-love.html"> last year</a>, I couldn't help but laugh out loud! Ha!<br />
<br />
Last year was so great! We had a wonderful time celebrating and we were so excited for a few months from then, when Jackson would be arriving. This year is even better, as we get to have Jackson HERE with us to celebrate! Celebrate the birth of a wonderful man... and celebrate the new role as not only an amazing husband, but an amazing father!<br />
<br />

<br />
Todd, I am so honored to be a part of your life! We have had such a wonderful life so far, and I can only see it getting much sweeter and beautiful as the years go by. You have such a positive attitude, it is so inspiring and helps me to become a better person. Your heart loves like no other and I cannot imagine life without you. You are sweet, considerate, and so very selfless... You are the most amazing man I have ever known! I love you so much and love that I can make a big deal out of your birthday, since you hate it! Haha!<br />

It seems winter skipped us and went straight from fall to spring, I got new running shoes that make my feet feel oh-so-squishy, Costco changed their natural peanut butter recipe to be nothing but AMAZING, and we have consistently been working with such sweet and beautiful couples each month. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We started off the year with two Floridan's. I'm not sure that's a word, but my spell check allowed it to be (Ha!)... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mark & Riley live down in Florida, but decided to venture back this way, since Riley's family is here, to get married. I'm pretty sure Mark was in for it when the weather forecast called for snow the day of their wedding, he's like me and hates the cold! A man who loves his lady for agreeing to a January wedding in Michigan... Ha! Riley is worth every snow flake that fell... she is, seriously, the sweetest, most selfless person, so caring and loving. She made the day extremely special for all who were there. Mark and her were stunning together. Both of them compliment each other and suit each other so perfectly! It was such an honor to be a part of their day... what a way to kick off 2012 wedding season! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A-Mazing!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Congratulations you two... we had a blast and just wish you guys lived closer! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Check out a few of my favorites from their day... (My slideshow program was lost in my computer shift... I'm working to get it back!)</div>

BIG TIME! All for the good, but it's definitely WAY different! <br /><br />The simplest tasks are not simple anymore, and life gets a bit more challenging. But with each new challenge brings joy and accomplishment. Quick trips to the grocery or to the mall or to anywhere are not "quick" anymore... Ha! And even longer trips, say to visit family in Indiana, have become longer and LOUDER. <br /><br />This past week, I thought to myself, "What a great week to go visit family and to see my bestest, Stephanie, as she just had a baby a few weeks back!" I could make the quick trip down with Jackson, and we could spend a few days hanging with family. We are going to be getting pretty crazy with weddings soon, and it was the PERFECT time before life gets in full swing chaos. Little did I know that, long trips are super challenging alone. Ha! Needless to say, Jackson broke his screaming record of an hour and a half. I felt terrible, but there was absolutely nothing I could do in the car to entertain him. Oh well... we both survived, even if he's now sick with a cold. I'm pretty sure he would agree it was worth it and sometimes you have to learn to just go with it...<br /><br />He loved visiting with his FAVORITE auntie... <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/photo-9.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Lots of playing with his cousins... Miss Izzy B... who he loves so much! Despite this photo, she wasn't trying to hurt him... haha!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/photo-1-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />And Miss Emmie... they loved playing or I should say, stealing toys back and forth from each other. They both wanted what the other one had... so funny! <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/photo-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Here is a short video of them playing together... it's so funny to see Miss Emmie get so upset that Jackson has the remote, but then gets so giddy when she gets it from him. (Emmie is very vocal compared to Jackson... he barely says a peep! Ha!)<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ke3afvMxR9A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Making a quick visit to Indy to see my bestie... Miss her mucho!!! <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/P1010247copy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />And her kiddos...

I'm the worst blogger EVER! <br /><br />I guess by now just know I'm trying to find time to fill you in on all the wonderful people we have been working with! Just trust me... they have been amazing! <br /><br />I can't believe it is April now... APRIL! It's insane how fast this year is flying by!<br /><br />We had a great Easter and our little love muffin has been nothing but pure joy to us... I say this since it's during the day right now, but at night is another story! Haha! He is getting his bottom two teeth, so it's been a bit of a crazy town here since his mama is all he wants at night. I feel bad for him, but these FOUR hours of sleep each night are not helping my fog during the day. I know he's worth it... EVERY sleepless night! <br /><br />Over the next couple weeks, I am going to do my best to fill you in on the A-MAZING COUPLES we've been photographing, but until then you can get a few of our Easter boy! <br /><br />This is one of his favorite toys... and of course it goes straight in the mouth! Haha!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_6492copycopy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Haha... he makes me smile!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_6465copycopy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Happy April!Veldman Photohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08598392026303645644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865873575390632700.post-15487174664956953722012-03-30T13:08:00.003-04:002012-03-30T13:33:39.546-04:00Matt & Amy :: EngagementsMarch is almost over... I'm not exactly sure what happened to it, but what a month it's been.<br /><br />We went from being really sick and miserable to having 80 degree weather, which allowed us to really enjoy some much needed fresh air and warmth. I have to say, last week I did not sit down much and my hips were on fire all week from the numerous walks we did around the neighborhood. It felt so nice to get out my summer clothes and actually get some more freckles on my face from all the sun. <br /><br />Despite the beginning of the month being a <a href="http://veldmanphoto.blogspot.com/2012/03/plague-of-march.html">plague</a>, the month is finishing off to be quite nice and tomorrow we get to finish off with a super sweet couple's wedding... and that super sweet couple is worth more then the MEGA MILLION LOTTERY! <br /><br />Speaking of that super sweet couple... (I know this is much overdo, but seriously, how to people get stuff done with active babies?!?! I'm clueless... but better late then never right?)<br /><br />Matt & Amy are making things official tomorrow and we could not be more thrilled! I met Matt a few years back when I first moved here. He was a fellow photographer, plus an amazing runner. I not only got the chance to help him out with his track team, but I even got to photograph his <a href="http://veldmanphoto.blogspot.com/2008/11/jeff-stephanie-wedding.html">sister's wedding</a> as well. Both events were so fun, and now it's his turn to be front and center, or I should say next to his beautiful bride, Amy. She is quite possibly the sweetest, cutest, most loving person you have ever met! I think the two of them are absolutely PERFECT for each other and the way they look at each other is so SWEET!!!! <br /><br />We are so excited and cannot wait to be a part of such a wonderful day!<br /><br />Check out a few of my favorites... seriously, there were so many I really had to limit it! Ha!<br /><br />Matt & Amy were engaged over at Mill Race... so why not re-create that sweet time!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/MattAmyEngagments-0084.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/MattAmyEngagments-0023.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />They have so much fun together... it's so cute!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/MattAmyEngagments-0013.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Can we say BEAUTIFUL!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/MattAmyEngagments-0035.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />HAHA...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/MattAmyEngagments-0047.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Love Mill Race and all their historic buildings...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/MattAmyEngagments-0068.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Aww...

But I started to come down with a slight sore throat. I didn't think anything of it because I don't hold onto many bad germs too long and I like to think I have a great immune system. <br /><br />Well sure enough, that sore throat turned into a stuffy nose, but nothing too terrible until Sunday rolled around and I was not feeling 100%. I decided a few Vitamin C packets were in order. The only problem... I think I took way TOO many Vitamin C packets and Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night, and again Wednesday night, my body was WIRED! Seriously wired... my mind was racing 90mph and I would close my eyes to drift off to sleep, and the minute I would start to daze I would have a surge of adrenaline that would cause me to stay awake all night long... literally ALL NIGHT LONG! Most of those nights, I would eventually fall asleep around 6am. only to get an hour or two for those nights. I decided after the firsts two nights, I would try all the "natural" remedies to get to sleep... warm bath, hot tea, warm milk, bananas... you name it, I tried it and NOTHING worked. How frustrating. Needless to say, no sleep equals a poor immune system, so this "slight" cold was holding on a bit too long. I decided a trip to the doctor was in order. So Wednesday I got the first appointment available, and off to the doctor I went. But what a waste of time... they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know and couldn't do much to help. Bummer! <br /><br />So I tried to go on with my life as I was a walking zombie all week. Thursday night I finally got a few extra hours of sleep, so instead of the 1 - 2, I got about 4. I thought I was smooth sailing, until Friday rolled around... Dah dah dahhhh!<br /><br />Let me back track... Wednesday night was a bit interesting as Todd was up all night with what we thought was food poison. But sure enough, Friday night I was up throwing up so it must have been a flu bug. So Saturday and Sunday was a bit of a downer... I felt so sick... I couldn't move much. I was starting to think that March was full of the plague... <br /><br />But I woke up this morning, feeling much better, not 100%, but almost all the way put back together. Now if Jackson would just learn how to sleep through the night already, or at least not wake every couple hours to eat, I would actually be normal again. Haha! But I'm sure that will come with some more time, right?! I guess he just LOVES to eat!!! <br /><br />Speaking of Jackson... <br /><br />My boy just turned 6 months old... Can you believe it?! <br /><br />He's getting to be so BIG, guess it's all that eating, and he's such a little sweetheart... He's so smiley and funny, and can make your heart melt! <br /><br />Plus, he can do all these fun tricks now, like stick his feet in his mouth... that's talent right there...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/Jackson-0011-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />He rolls all over the place...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_9506.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />He smiles like crazy and it is so contagious... <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_9536.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />He's starting to sit up a bit... not all the way, but almost there...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_9581.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />And we can't forget those BIG BLUE eyes he's been blessed with...LOVE HIM! <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_9613.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Happy 6 months my love...

He'll never know! :) Hehe!!!Veldman Photohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08598392026303645644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865873575390632700.post-2961400162419758882012-02-29T17:29:00.003-05:002012-02-29T18:00:17.626-05:00Happy Leap Year!What a rare occasion to celebrate today... the fact that we get 366 days instead of 365 this year. Woohoo! <br /><br />What a crummy day it is here in Michigan... rain, mud, gloom! Such a bummer of a celebratory day! Oh well...<br /><br />Something to celebrate, though, is distractions... or I should say "more" distractions. It seems we have a lot more distractions here at the Veldman house with a growing "active" baby and I realize my blog here has suffered the consequences. I apologize and I promise I'm trying to stay on top of things and get caught up, but with a new roller in the house and the fact that I find myself looking at the clock and wondering how in the world it gets to be 5PM so quick, I barely got a chance to sit down for a few minutes makes for great distractions. Haha! <br /><br />But we had a few great distraction come in town for a few days this past weekend. Lots of extra babies in town to love all over, which will never get old, especially when each time you see them they are growing and changing. It's crazy how fast time flies by... <br /><br />Here is are a few photos from the weekend... <br /><br />My sister and I's kids... Despite their faces in this photo, they did have fun. I think they are all in their own world and between schedules and nap times, we had a hard time getting a few of all of them together. Haha!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/Emmie-0005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Lots of sister love was had...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/Emmie-0012.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/Emmie-0055.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />And little Miss Emmie turned 6 months old a few weeks back... so we got some fun shots of her while she was here (Jackson's 6 month debut will be taken this weekend)<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/Emmie-0040.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/Emmie-0032.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />She was not a fan of the dog though...

Tonight will be the very first time I have ever gone... <br /><br />WHIRLYBALL'ing!<br /><br />I have no idea what this game even is, what to do, or what to even expect, but from what Todd described it as, it sounds fun! I just hope that my competitive nature doesn't get the best of me and I end up getting jumped because I am trash talking my opponents so bad all they want to do is jump out of their buggy and punch me in the face. Well, depending on their size, I could probably take them down easily... Ha! Here I go getting worked up already and we aren't even playing yet. Haha!<br /><br />I'm totally kidding! I would never do anything like that, unless I knew them, then I would consider some "friendly trash talk". Haha!<br /><br />But something else I'm so excited for is this coming weekend... another "WINTER" WEDDING!<br /><br />Ryan and Samantha are the wonderful couple we get to spend this upcoming Saturday with. Although, I'm not sure how "wintery" it's going to be, but I do know that however it is, it will be wonderful! Both of them are amazingly sweet and so fun, that it does not even matter what the weather will be like. I love when couples are so natural and how they interact is so comfortable. That is exactly how Ryan and Samantha are... so natural and so comfortable! It was such a joy to see them together, and see them interact with each other. They are so sweet and adorable together... Plus, they are dog people... and we LOVE dogs too, so we LOVE them! Haha! <br /><br />Congratulations you two... we are so excited for your special day to be here so soon!<br /><br />Check out a few of my favorites from our session...<br /><br />I love how they can make each other smile... ADORABLE! <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/RyanSamanthaEngagments-0008.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />RARRR.... <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/RyanSamanthaEngagments-0016.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Sweetness...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/RyanSamanthaEngagments-0032.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I love this one...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/RyanSamanthaEngagments-0041.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Haha...

My body didn't quite know what to do and woke up a few times wondering when he would be making those little moans that I have learned to interpret as "Mama, I'm hungry". But I never heard a peep and I quickly fell back into dreamland. It was GLORIOUS! <br /><br />Although, someone told me early on to just enjoy those late night feedings because when they are over you will really miss it and the time you were able to spend with them, just you and them! So ever since then, I have actually learned to just appreciate those little moans and wake up calls because I know it's not going to be like this forever.... and I TOTALLY agree with them, even though it's not the easiest of things, it's so worth it! <br /><br />Who said being a parent was easy? Right? It's rough and you do a lot of things for them that don't think twice about... and we're not even in the stage where he can talk back to me yet. Ek... not quite looking forward to those days, but each day is an adventure and today is a successful one! <br /><br />I hope everyone else has a wonderful day as well... however you decide to celebrate or not celebrate! Hehe!Veldman Photohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08598392026303645644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865873575390632700.post-84441115407886774262012-02-09T13:17:00.003-05:002012-02-09T13:37:56.766-05:00Carl & Renay :: EngagementsDown south they don't see much snow... I guess up north we don't either, as of this year. <br /><br />But I guess we are MORE likely to see it up here. <br /><br />I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really enjoying the snowless winter. I'm not a huge fan of snow or even cold, which most of you might already know. But there have been a few white flurries that have shown up randomly and one of those random moments were during an engagement session for a couple who lives down south. <br /><br />Carl & Renay was that memorable "Southern" couple! I say memorable for a few reasons, one of those being as they are SOOO CUTE together, it's hard to forget how adorable they are towards each other and how they treat one another... and for two, not more than 5 minutes into our session a mini-blizzard hit Birmingham and we were definitely not prepared for that madness. Ha! But it added a fun and comical relief to our session. I absolutely loved getting to know them better... as both of them are equally incredible, and together... even more! <br /><br />Congratulations to you both... we are so happy for you and are looking forward to seeing you again!<br /><br />The mini-blizzard just allowed this adorable couple to be even more adorable... <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/CarlRenayEngagments-0002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />LOVE this...<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/CarlRenayEngagments-0065.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Mmm... in love!<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/CarlRenayEngagments-0039-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/CarlRenayEngagments-0073.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />As many times as I have been to Birmingham...

Anyone who has been there can understand the fog I'm in. It doesn't help that we have a total mama's boy, so his mama is all he wants. Thus leaving me little time to keep you guys in the loop on what's been going on. <br /><br />We'll start by showing you how chunky our Chunky Monkey is getting... <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/IMG_4282copycopy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Haha! <br /><br />And show you a sneak peek of what's in store... <br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/CarlRenayEngagments-0039.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/RyanSamanthaEngagments-0056.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/MattAmyEngagments-0137.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/MarkRiley-0541.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll238/veldmanphoto/Campbell-0145.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Let's hope we get through this phase quickly... so I won't be so LAME!
