Another sweet little lady!

My sweet, old roomie (old as in former, not senior citizen) Emily had her first child just a few weeks ago. Here are a few photos I took when I visited her last week.

This is how Bella's first photo shoot began. She loves me. Really.

Luckily, we were able to get a few sweet smiles out of her.

Probably my favorite. I love how uncomfortable she looks. I think I may try sleeping like that tonight.

Once she fell asleep she was content to sleep anywhere. That includes on a bench. In the park. Where limbs may or may not have fallen from the tree overhead. :)

Daddy wasn't around for the shoot so we only had one ring.

MILLwork for food: Little Dude

At any moment my sister could go into labor! Needless to say, I'm slightly excited and never let my phone out of my sight. I can't wait to be an aunt. His name is a secret (except to me). For now, he is affectionately called "Little Dude" and in a few short days (maybe even hours) he will make his debut.

The last time I saw my sister and her pregnant little self was early December when we took a few maternity photos. Here are few that don't reveal the baby's name nor show off the bare belly!

Clearly, no belly in this shot. The necklace was a gift from the soon-to-be grandparents and is a mother holding a baby in a heart (or something like that). And, I'm showing off my beautiful sister - even when she's not sleeping and is being kicked every 7 minutes.

Yeah, he sees something he likes...

So my cousin is probably the most precious person in the world (and I'm sure he feels quite manly after reading that). We're separated in age by 20 days (I'm older) and spent practically everyday together growing up. We've been through quite a bit (mostly thanks to me) and I love when I get to spend time with him and his wife, Brittany. Saturday night we grabbed dinner at Old Chicago (quite delicious) and then headed to downtown Louisville to snap a few shots. We started on the Indiana side of the Ohio river where, no joke, a washing machine floated by.

Had a blast, guys. Thanks for being great sports!

MILLwork for food: the Conn kids

You met Dave and Deanna a few posts ago. This past weekend I headed back to Louisville to see family and friends and to take pictures. I met the Conn's at Bernheim Forest to shoot the other half of the family. They are quite cute and full of personality.

Dave surprised Deanna with a weekend getaway to Nashville (from Louisville) for their 10th anniversary. While here, I spent a little time with them taking pictures. I always love catching up with people from back home, so it was a welcome visit. Here are a few of my favorite shots:

I love catching candid moments. Especially when it's two people who enjoy each other's presence. So cute.

The "cog" at LP Field. A strange structure to be at a football stadium, but a good photo op.

I'm a fan of this wall. Really.

The pedestrian bridge from LP Field to downtown. 

Sneak Peek!

Here's a sneak peek of what I've been up to today. More to come.

Stay tuned...

MILLwork for food: the Stallings

The Stallings are one of my favorite families in Nashville and not just because they feed me! Their generosity is amazing and Quinn is quite the entertaining little one. We spent a some time at a local park to get a few family pics. Quinn was way more interested in the playground itself than the camera, but I think we made it work!

Meet Ty

This is Ty.

He looks mesmerized.

You can't tell, but that's him too. On the train. He's much smaller than the train.

The "batman building" makes a great background. Agreed?

Meet John

John was contestant number 2.

Yes, this door is in the wall.

John willingly sat on the ledge 6 stories above rush hour traffic. Luckily, no one below was scared.

In front of the Frist. If you haven't been there, go. And, please, tell me how it is. I've never been either, except for lunch.

Meet Joey

Joey was the first of my co-workers to participate in a photo shoot.

Here are a few of my favorites...

We took some pictures up on the "secret" 6th floor and roof at work.

I couldn't talk him into sitting on the ledge.

Maybe next time.
