Taking it Personal: 3 Years of Simon

Posted on Aug 7, 2013 in The Smuteks | 10 Comments

Way back when, when I first started this blog, I kept it 100% personal. I left work completely out of it, because I wanted to photograph and write on a more personal level and to share that part of my life. Over the years of getting busier, having a child and the like, my blog has somehow become 100% business, and I think I’d like to strike a balance.

So now, I bring to you a very personal post- one of my little man… Simon. As some of you may know, in the fall of 2009, my husband, Jimmy, and I learned that we were expecting a baby in June of 2010. I worked the entire wedding season that year, and even photographed my last wedding at 37 weeks pregnant. (Side note: I had actually suspected that I had gone into labor the morning of the wedding and shot it anyway!) Our baby didn’t come for another 4 and a half weeks though, and on July 8th, 2010 we welcomed our sweet baby boy, Simon, to the world.

His first moments. July 8, 2010…

Almost a year…

18 months…

Two…

And here he is today; our 3 year old…

This picture pretty much sums Simon up… Our independent little skater boy…

I hope you enjoyed seeing a more personal post on the blog and I will be making an effort, over the next year, to bring you more!

    TIme sure does fly! I can’t believe how big he has gotten and what an awesome kid he has become. I also can’t believe that I now beat box. It’s amazing what you will do for your kids!
