This was seriously the longest shoot in recorded history…ever in all the shoots out there. I’m not kidding when I say this shoot spanned between 2 days with so many activities along the way. It all came down to… when will this child sleep!
I arrived at the Woodbury house the other day to photograph new baby Brycen and his big brother Landon. Of course Landon is my little buddy and I have photographed him since he was born. He had his Mud Hens hat on and the only way I can describe him is he makes my heart smile. He is such a cool little JEM kid and I love it when I get to see him. In the pictures below he was just talking to me about Muddy and the game. I love when kids tell stories because they have so many expressions and movements. Makes me laugh.
Anyway, while I was waiting for Brycen to fall asleep I played and snapped away with Landon. After a couple hours of waiting for sleep we gave up and surrendered. We decided I would come back the next day. Skip forward to my arrival the next morning. Still no sleeping baby. A couple hour shoot turned into an entire day of waiting for those little eyes to close. I drove around in the mini van with the fam, we stopped at the park (2 parks actually), drank coffee together (twice), ate lunch at Max and Erma’s… child still not sleeping by the way, we went to the studio, tried stroller rides, we all took turns holding him, feeding him, swinging him. Nothing! ALL DAY LONG! Now I have to clarify that Brycen wasn’t crying. Actually I never heard him cry all day. He was perfectly content teasing us with his no sleep joke. I would take breaks and worked in between the wait times, but soon 10am turned into 4pm! Oh the things I will do for a sleeping baby. Finally, when we were all ready to give up, Brycen slept and I got my sleeping baby pics. FINALLY!
Krista and Ron – Thank you for lunch and ALL the laughs! What a great day together! Literally a great day, ALL DAY LONG!!! 
Congrats on your new little one. Love that I have gotten to witness and photograph your wedding and all these milestones. Thanks guys!
Baby still not sleeping.
Even Gus was wondering when the babe would sleep! This is the coolest dog ever by the way. He can get drinks out of the fridge and bring them to you. It’s awesome! 
So peaceful. The much anticipated sleeping pictures. Well worth it!
HILARIOUS!!!!!
and could you please have Gus teach Ruby that trick?? fantastic…….
those sleeping pictures were worth the wait! cute cute cute…. and I am a huge fan of the fan!
Ok, I’ll see what I can do about Gus and Ruby! Wait a second, could be a match made in heaven! Ha! Yes, Ruby definately needs to start getting your beverages for you! Isn’t that little fan just the best? Sometimes wish I had video because his little stories were soooo cute!
These boys are handsome
