JM Photography -Maternity Leave

I am starting my maternity leave and will return full time December 1st. Baby Girl H will be arriving very soon and with her upcoming arrival my email/phone access will be quite delayed. I appreciate your patience during this time as my family grows. However, I will do my best to keep up with client communication. Thank you all in advance for your understanding!!!!

Cheers~

William David Romans

Today I received a call I never thought I would get in a million years. Williams father called me to let me know that Will had passed away this morning unexpectedly due to cold & flu like symptoms. My heart sunk into my throat and the tears began to roll down my cheeks. I just saw Will September 23rd for his 9 month session. I've been photographing William since last December 2008 and every 3 months since then. It's so hard to believe that he is gone. Will was such a light into so many lives. His smile and giggle could light up the room and I know that he will be missed by so many, including myself. I feel so honored that David & Jaimi asked me to create a collage of our last 4 sessions together for his funeral. As you can see below, his face just makes you want to smile! My heartfelt prayers go out to the Romans family. I know William's smile and the light that he shared in his 9 short months of life will be forever treasured by all who loved him dearly...

IT's A GIRL!

My husband and I found out a few weeks ago that we'll be having another little girl come this October! We're super excited for Kate to have a little sister that will be so close in age (less than 2 years!) but also realize our hands will be quite full with these two..ha ha! Anyway, here is baby Girl Hinnenkamp's 1st photo!!

Kate-the big sister!

I love this photo of her "smelling" the lilacs...she really got into it!

My daughter Kate (18.5 months now!!) and I were outside this morning and I was snapping a few photos.  I realized it's been ages since I posted some updated photos of her on my blog!  I know I said I would be better at it...shame on me :)  I can hardly believe my first born is going to be a BIG SISTER! She's still my little girl, but at the same time, she's growing and exploring and showing so much maturity.   She's still such a little ham for the camera...I love it!  

Yes, I am still Alive :)

I know it's been quite some time since I've blogged last....March...eeek, I know!  A lot has happened since that last blog post.  My husband and I found out we were expecting our second baby around the time of that same blog post.  

About 5 days after we found out the morning sickness, or for me "all-day" sickness set in! During those 8 weeks I pretty much just needed to focus on getting my work done and trying to rest in-between those times, well when I wasn't chasing my toddler..ha!  But at last I'm feeling better now at 13 weeks pregnant and am now in Full wedding season.  I may be a little slower at blogging this year because I've got lots keeping me busy but I will be blogging!  I sure do miss it!  

Baby Hinnenkamp #2 is Due to arrive around October 16th.  The plan for right now is for my maternity leave to be Oct 1st-Dec 1st.  I'm still hoping to be around to do a Holiday Mini-Session again this year!

Where did my baby go?

Time for another Katelyn update, since it's been quite a few months since the last one!  I just cannot believe how fast my little girl has grown up.  She'll be ONE at the end of October and it seems like just yesterday she was snuggled in my arms as my little 5lb. newborn!

I took Kate to the studio yesterday for some photos, I'm trying to get some pictures to display at her birthday party and she did really well considering she's got 5 teeth coming in..yikes!

Anyway, that's all for now!
