I think baby boy C. makes the perfect addition to this beautiful family. He’s every bit as adorable as his big sister!
 

 

 

 

Baby has finally arrived, and it’s girl #4 for the Christiansons! Joely Marie was born at 12:50am on Friday, July 23rd after a quick labor. It was an amazing home water birth experience. 8 lbs. 15 oz. (weighed after pooping, so I’m saying she was a solid 9 pounds!) and 20 inches. We are definitely very blessed!
 
Here is Joely yesterday at 2 days old:
 

 
Katie is the winner of the “Guess baby’s birthdate contest”. Her guess of July 22nd was the latest of all the guesses, and was very close! I will get the gift certificate sent off to you Katie, enjoy!
 

 
At just a couple weeks old, little mister S. definitely already had a mind of his own and strength to go with it! He loved hiding his face with his hands and it was hard to convince him otherwise! He was a great sport and oh so cute though.
 

 

 

 

I’m so happy baby S. came in for a session at my favorite age of six months. She was sitting like a pro and shared some smiles. All of which makes for some adorable photos!
 

 

 

 

I love it when little miss B. comes to see me! She is a huge sweetie pie, and such a natural in front of the camera. Makes my job very easy!
 

 

 

 

Boy have these two grown up since baby sister’s newborn session! One year old L. is now definitely a mover and shaker, and three year old G. can of course keep right up with her!
 

 

 

 

These two cuties came in for a mini session and wore me out! There adorableness made up for it though.
 

 

 

 

Since I’m still waiting on baby to arrive, I think it’s time for a nesting sale! My hard drives are once again running out of space, so I need to declutter them. Maybe my computer will be able to breathe a little easier and run a little quicker then.
 
So here’s the deal:
 
Digital File Sale- All customers who had sessions that took place from June 2008 – March 2010 have the option to purchase the full set of their digital files on disk for $175 (per session). If you’d like to have all the images from your session to print as you wish and save for the future, now is your chance! Please let me know if you would like a disk by July 31st, as deletion of all files from these sessions will occur immediately after that date.
 
Email me at tera@blessingsphotography.com to get in on the deal!
 
And to go along with the nesting theme, I have to share an image of the little bird nest that invaded my flower pot a few weeks ago! It was fun to watch these little guys grow up, but they have now flown away and we are empty nesters.
 

 

How cute is this blue eyed trio?! And they are the sweetest kids too. Yep, they can come back to see me any time!
 

 

 

 

Just a reminder that today is the last day to submit your guesses for baby’s birth date! It’s been so fun to see everybody’s ideas.
 
I was just looking at my July calendar and realized that for all but 2 days in the month I have at least one client that has a birthday. Which got me thinking that it would be fun to add another little part to this contest. If you’re a past Blessings client and my baby ends up sharing a birthday with your child, I’ll treat you to a free session! Just contact me or comment on the blog after I announce baby’s birth.
