Beautiful Belly!
Kiara and Evan I had the BEST time at your house yesterday. You guys are so fun and upbeat, you are gonna be fantastic parents! Here are a few of your numerous beautiful belly shots I am in process of going through and editing. I cannot wait to take pictures of this little baby 🙂
Sweet, Sweet Baby!
Sweet, Sweet Baby!, originally uploaded by Hip Mama’s Photos. Here is some baby candy for you! YUM!
Really, Valentine's Day, Already?
Ok, I never thought I would be the person to have this much of a “jump start” on Valentine’s Day. Sort of like the people who start Christmas shopping in the summer, eh? Anyhow, I am not this genius, this shot was inspired by photographer Michele Anderson Ms. Pinkle Toes but here is my version. I sweat my butt off trying to get Mr. Zebby man to smile but check him out, isn’t he cute? To view it larger, just click on the picture 🙂
Vintage Baby
Vintage baby, originally uploaded by Hip Mama’s Photos. Ok, one more peek….LOL! I couldn’t help but play a little with vintage on this photo. I have a color and black and white version too….but this one screamed to have a little vintage touch (to me). I just want to smooch this little guy! What a cutie pants!!!!
Baby William Sneak Peek
Cheri, here are a few quick edits of little William. Thank you so much for allowing me into your home to help document this special time in your lives. I will have proofs up for you in a week or two on my actual website. I will email you the password when it becomes available. Here is the cutie!
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, originally uploaded by Hip Mama’s Photos. This year I vow to try my best to not sweat the small stuff! So I say instead of vowing to lose weight (I mean how cliche), I vow to make SURE I lick more batter bowls when I bake. What is more fun than that? And I am sure that when I die I will not be wishing I had licked fewer bowls….eh? Unless licking the batter bowls kills me……hmmmm…..see, there I go again! …….this is me in process of making a cake thats recipe is dated 1934. The recipe is from a book called the “Hershey’s 1934 Cookbook”. My step-mother Carmen used to make some of my birthday cake’s from it. This cake was soooo much fun to make! And it will be even more fun to eat…..especially after we frost it with the 3 layer chocolate frosting I am about to make. Come here you double boiler, you!
Sorry for the weird "look"
I am currently working on a new blog header, etc…. Until then, here is one of my fave SNL skits from the ’90’s. Inspired by a show last night on SNL….looking back at the ’90’s. These skits make me laugh so hard it hurts!
Not exactly sure what I was thinking……
When I decided to go with Erik to pick up the kids at O’Hare. I guess I figured, what’s a little wind? At least it isn’t a blizzard. Right? WRONG. We spent quite a few hours on the interstate stuck in traffic while there were tons of cars littering the ditches. Some of them even flipped over. Crazy drivers! Here are some photos: And the view outside (on the better side of the car!)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful…..beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful…..beautiful boy, originally uploaded by Hip Mama’s Photos. I think my blog is soon going to be filled with this baby! I cannot get enough of these beautiful photos of him! Don’t you just want to smooch him and sniff his sweet little head?
Mr. Piano Man
Piano Man, originally uploaded by Hip Mama’s Photos. Quick edit of baby on a piano. I am planning on cloning out the outlets in this photo. Baby Noah was obviously not so sure he wanted to be on the piano……. 🙂
