The Childresses

You've seen these guys on the blog before.  And this Saturday, Harper will be turning ONE!!  But those specific pictures will have to wait until she's actually a full year old :-)  Last Saturday morning was a mini-session kind of morning in Clemson.  I met up with this precious family and another... who you will see tomorrow on the blog!

Oh, Harper... I love your smile!

And I love your goofy faces!!

I also love your serious model face.  You rock!

Y'all are adorable... even when Harper decides to put on her serious model face :-)

Would you look at that sass! I can't help but love it.

I think the sass was because of her shoes she had on.

I'm sorry... I just had to include this one.  I REALLY wish I knew what she had been thinking in this moment!

This series of black and whites make my heart oh so very happy :-)

Happy Fall, you guys... and Happy Birthday on Saturday, Harper!!

Going to the Chapel...

This time in one month we will have walked down the aisle, been pronounced as Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Fields and will probably be getting ready to cut our cake!  It's so hard to believe that it's so soon and I'm beyond excited!!!  There's still a good bit to do, but after a couple of friends confronting me in love earlier this week, I'm in full-on planning and let's-get-this-done mode.  And oh my goodness... it is so amazing to get things accomplished!

Ben and I had decided a while ago that when the time came, we didn't want a long engagement... and four months has been JUST right for us.  I know it's not right for everyone, but it's been perfect for us.  Planning a wedding hasn't been my favorite thing in the world, but knowing that it's all leading up to the day that I get to marry such an amazing man and start our life together has made every item on the to-do list worth it :-)

With just a month to go, some have said that it's crunch time.  And, in a way, they're right.  But, I'm just glad we only have one more month of saying goodbye when we say goodnight, we only have one more month of living apart, we only have one more month before we become one and start our life together.

And because every post is better with a picture, here's a sneak peak at some of my jewelry I'll be wearing on the big day :-)  Don't you just love it??

Emily Anne | 3 Months

Meghan's sister and I are close friends from Clemson.  So, when Meghan came to Clemson as a freshman, we all knew who she was and loved her because we loved Jill!  I even had the joy of seeing Meghan and Eric on their wedding day because Jill's daughter, who was maybe 3 or 6 months old at the time, was a tad too young to go to the wedding.  So, she and I bonded while Meghan and Eric pledged to love each other in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer, and as long as they both shall live.

And now, they've begun their adorable little family!  I've been hearing about Miss Emily for months and was SOOOO excited to go and meet this little one.  Her eyes are as blue as her mom's and her countenance as laid back as her dad's.  She was such a rock star that the only reason we stopped with pictures is because I had my first wedding shower to get to (crazy!).

Meghan and Eric, thank you so much for letting me capture you and your little one last weekend.  She is beautiful and SUCH a delight!  I hope you enjoy the pictures!

I just LOVED the nursery!!

Meghan's been doing these little cutouts each month and taking a picture with them and Emily in the grey chair in the corner.  

She's just so talented and crafty!!

What a perfect sign for a little girl to grow up with in her room.  I love it.

Aunt Jill gave Emily this dress... and she loved it.

Is that not just the sweetest face you've ever seen??

I love her little toes!!

Love.

Love again.

Emily was taking a breather and kicking her feet up. Modeling is a tough job!

A little behind the scenes action...

The.Second. I took this picture, I bursted out laughing.  I LOVE the look on her face!!

Eric was making her laugh in the picture on the right.... Eric, don't ever stop hugging her or making her laugh!

Emily's cousins and Aunt Jill stopped by before the Clemson game and I just adore this one of the girls!

We headed over to Furman to wrap up the session with some pictures in the mall...

Meghan!  You're just such a beautiful and wonderful mommy.

BeStillMyHeart... her smile and laughter is precious.

Clearly, even babies think I'm hilarious.

I had to end with this one because I think we may have another one like this in 30 years as she's addressing Congress!

Sneak Peek! | Emily Anne

I couldn't decide on just one for the sneak peak... so there are two.  More to come!
