These two little guys made me melt. Literally! It was 85 degrees outside and I had the space heater on. Wanna know a secret? It made them so sleepy I had a great time with all of the awesome set-ups we got!

Not just for the heat though, these two peanuts were so full of cuddles and holding them made me 10 times more excited for my own newborn in just a few weeks now! That too makes me melt.

Thanks R. family for inviting me into the first few days of these two guy’s lives. I am so pleased to share this sneak peek with you. I will be in touch soon!

This little guy is a trooper. Born at 24 weeks he is now 7 months old (3 months adjusted age) and he is doing great! The moment I laid eyes on him I had to squeeze those cheeks! They are beautiful!

I got to spend a few hours with Mr. Cheeks and his big brother today. I must say I enjoyed seeing a little into my future and imagining that I will be taking pictures of these of my two littlest ones in just a few months! That makes me smile.

Thanks P. family for inviting me into your world. Your two boys are special blessings and I am excited for our sessions through the rest of baby’s first year!

I announced a few weeks ago that I was going to be doing a Mother’s Day contest. I was excited to see all five entries that I got! There are some pretty awesome moms out there! I know my mom rocks but since she really can’t win my contest I have to give kudos to all the other awesome mom’s out there!

So here are the “rules”: Vote for your favorite mom (there is a picture and a one-liner that describes why that mom is so awesome!), tell your friends to come to the kristy lynn photography blog and vote for their favorite mom, post this blog entry on your facebook to remind your friends to come and vote, send an email to everyone without a facebook to tell them about it. Remember that each person only gets one vote. I can track IP addresses and can tell if there is any funny business going on. Plus, since this is all in fun, it is not cool to cheat! The fine print: anyone caught cheating will be disqualified immediately. You don’t want to take that chance!

With the rule stuff out of the way, here are the moms!

1. Nancy’s mom!

Nancy’s one-liner: My Mom, who has always given selflessly to her family, ROCKS because she his a constant force of unconditional and supportive love in the lives of me, my sister, my husband, and my two young daughters.

And the picture:

2. Jaime’s mom!

Jaime’s one-liner: My Mom rocks because my kids think she’s the Greatest Grandma ever!

and the picture:

My mom Rocks

3. Jordan and Jacob’s mom!

Jordan and Jacob’s one-liner: Our mother laughs with us- and just as hard!

and the picture:

4. Krista’s mom-in-law!

Krista’s one-liner: My mother-in-law and I spent five days straight in a car together; her, me, and my two boys…..we laughed, we talked, we sang……she is loyal, caring, and doesn’t give advice unless you want it, she is the greatest mother-in-law I can imagine, and I consider her my other mommy.

5. Cristine’s mom!

Cristine’s one-liner: My mom rocks because she is always there when we need her, with time and love and fresh batch of cookies!

and the picture:

It is going to be so hard to choose. All of these moms are awesome and I am proud to have each one as part of the contest!

So share away and vote and go and hug your mom, it’s the right thing to do.

Our Mother’s Day contest voting will start tomorrow! I am so excited. We have some awesome submissions from some really great women, but there is room for more!!!

Think about your mom. Would she love it if you could win a free photo shoot and 11×14 wall portrait for her this Mother’s Day? Would she think that you were pretty much the best-est kid ever if you told the world why she rocked? Would she think that this was a way better gift than a bunch of tulips (and btw, I love tulips)?

I think we all know that the answer to the three above questions is…. YES!!!

So get on it, find a picture of your mom and send it on in with one line that describes why your mom is the best-est mom in the world! Can’t wait to hear from you!

This momma is about to pop! She is so close to being done, we had to take a few breaks for contractions through the session, LOL! I would look up and she would be breathing and holding her belly. I was a little nervous, but she was awesome and we got some really creative images.

Thanks to the K. family for letting come into your world for a little while as you are expecting baby number 4! I can’t wait to meet him in a few weeks!!!

And here is your sneak peek:

Sisters! I have a sister and she rocks. I love sisters! I have all boys and think that brothers are pretty cool too, but there is something special about the bond between sisters. I got to experience that magic yesterday with these two beautiful girls. Seeing the joy of them laughing together and playing together was just about the coolest part of my month so far. And while each girl is gorgeous in her own right the true beauty I saw yesterday was their bond.

And it takes some pretty awesome parents to facilitate that happening. I was just doubly bless by seeing how this mom and dad helped foster the bond between the two. We met up at Crissy Field in San Francisco and by golly it was windy (you can probably tell from our images). I would like to think of them as whimsical and wispy but in reality it was just really windy! But it didn’t stop us. We rolled around in the grass and played in the sand until it was past the little one’s bed time. This family is full of troopers.

Thanks K. Family for hanging out with me yesterday. I really did have an incredible time getting to know you all a little better! Here is your sneak peek of our images.

Miss L. is perfect. 10 perfect toes, 10 perfect fingers, a perfect little baby smile, and she was perfectly well behaved for me today. I got to try some new poses out on her today and overall just had a blast hanging out with this little one and her family.

So thanks S. Family for inviting me into your world, it is a pleasure to get to capture your memories of all her perfection.
