Have I mentioned October has been a month of mad craziness?!

Whew... it went soooo perfect though!

TONS of perfect photo sessions!

2 Weddings

2 Seniors

4 Newborns

and lots of kiddos in between.

We have a 1 year old session tomorrow.

Then that finishes out the month of October & November is basically booked w/the exceptions of nailing down definite dates so it's great that we can say that we are now booking into December!

So lots of updates...

First, several Ulmer Studios Blog posts since I've posted here last. 

Next, we have a fresh new website template & a good bit of new stuff in the slideshow and galleries. Still have LOTS of updating to do from our sessions in the month of October though so they will be added too shortly!

Check it out!

And I scrapbooked...

Some sweet AC lovin on this w/the cute owl and bird and the thickers of course!

 

And lots of AC here!

All Patterned paper, thickers and rub on is American Crafts.

I simply adore this photo of Josie and Josh. So sweet!

Got lots of fun cute photos from a lil Fall mini sessions w/did w/Josephine and Uncle Nate snapped lil family ones for us too.

We did this lil session in maybe 10 mins flat.

Easy and quick and got tons of sweet shots!

 

 

 

 

 

These next 3 shots are going up on our wall in our big teal vintage frame above our couch.

These 2 will be 10x15 on top of each other like they are here.

And this shot will be a 16x20 or 16x24 to the left of those two in the frame.

 

 

I just adore these photos!

And like I said... shot in under 10 mins flat!

This has me thinking that I'll do a Q & A.

So... Q & A...

Scrapbook stuff

JBS Guest & Lots of Photos...

Lots to share today!
Last week I was asked to be a guest at the JBS Blog!
Check it out here...
Love all those girls....
so uber talented it's crazy.

Here is my page...




I love this photo of her so much.
I want it like in a 20x24 canvas!!
I plan on going back and finding her "monthly" photo and doing a layout stating the "milestones" she has reached that month.

Some exiting happenings in the Ulmer home the past few crazy weeks.
Josie has peed & pooped on the potty!!
Ya. 7 Months old.
Every night during our nighttime routine of washing her hair, after we are done before we get her in her jammies, we sit her on the potty.
The first night we did it, she peed!!
The next night we did it... she peed again!
Third night... nothing.
Last night... she peed & pooped!!!
She knows what the potty is at 7 months old!! I dunno how she knows... but she does!
Rocked our world!
We really just did it to see what she would do...
and she did it!!
Hope this is a good sign that we can get her potty trained pretty early!
Let's see.. what else.
She has eaten...
eggplant casserole
broccoli
bowtie noodles w/a lil spaghetti sauce
organic baby cracker
plum
yogurt-feeding herself w/a spoon
mashed potatoes
a taste of pumpkin pie

I think that is all she has had recently.
She loves food so much!
She wants to eat whatever we are eating!
So... we need to alter what we eat just a lil bit...
for the good of course.

She is still sleeping 11-12 hours at night and takes 2 naps during the day.
We have been so blessed w/an amazing sleeper.
She never ever wakes up once she down for the night.
Praise God.

Got lots of photos to share...
Here we go.

Yogurt Eating Happiness...

Some Mama Love
Notice... TWO TEETH!

Some Daddy Love

Oh those Teeth & Toes!

She has been doing this thing where she taps her chest... I really think she is learning to clap b/c I have been clapping with her and trying to teach her so maybe this is the start!
Pretty cute huh?

American Crafts All Up In This Place...

WOOHOO!

My first project as an American Crafts DT girl is up at their blog!
You can find my project
HERE
Click their banner to go straight back to their updated blog posts.
I have some AC layouts to share!

All AC except that orange strip. That is Pink Paislee.

Think it turned out pretty cute.
And here is another one.

And an older one I couldn't post b/c it was in the latest EntreArtiste Magazine.

And some sweet recent photos of Josephine taken w/our new camera...

Canon 5D Mark II.

ekkk...

so LOVE this thing!

Onsie is by Ivey Handcrafted. My sweet friend Brittany Moncrief gifted us with it when she was born.

What a sweet bit....

check out those dimples... hehe

We set up a lil "studio" in our bonus room... ie... a 4x6 white foamcore board that we use for our newborn session to hold the blankets that we use for our seamless backdrop and used some lighting we are borrowing from a friend and she was hysterical!

What a ham!

6 months has been the most fun yet.

She is sitting up.

Pulling herself up when we hold her hands to stand up.

Talking like mad crazy... no words yet... but has alot of babble to say.

Her 1st tooth is still budding on through.

Our teething necklace is still doing wonders for her!

I ordered it through amberizon.com for those of you who asked.

We did just get Sophie the Giraffe.

She loves it. 

She is SOOO fun.

She had yogurt the other night.

Made a video on our new Mark II.

Will have to post that soon along w/the photos.

So funny!

She loved it... even though she made some pretty funny faces... and...

she fed herself w/a spoon! You'll see from the photos how well she eats w/a spoon already!

She watches us so she just soaks it up and imitates!

Well, I think that is about it.

We are covered up with photo sessions...

Had our first Saturday off in a while this past Saturday b/c it's been raining forever here in TN.

We have a wedding on Saturday afternoon along w/a "Shopping Extravaganza" thing at our church that we are setting up a booth at.

So sorry for my lack of blogging.

Im hoping the winter months I'll catch up.

haha

Thanks for still reading!

and of course,

We have another post up at

ULMER STUDIOS NEW BLOG

Sweet girls started putting those tosies in her mouth a few weeks ago...


These 3 are mew favorites.



So there is our sweet girl.
Time has just flown by.
And she was trying to grab the camera in these 4 shots... too cute!
Definitely the daugher of some photographers!
We have a lil camera ready for her when she is old enough!

Daddy spotted her two bottom teeth bout to bust through last night!
Her teething necklace has worked wonders!
Barely fussy and if she really bothered obviously, I just give her some of those hylands teething tablets and she is good.
Im so glad we aren't having to give her Tylenol or anything.
