March Moms

Little Mountain Man

Griffin is all boy. He knows about bears and rocks and trucks and dogs and poop. I'm sure he will be catching his first fish soon with his dad. Griffin is On.The.Go. and full of life. He is sooo cute with his little curls and eyelashes that are to die for I could just squeeze him and gobble him up. He is almost 2 and having a rocking bug party this weekend. I had a great time with you guys! Happy birthday little man!

Rechibadihorrisuck

It takes quite a word to sum up this week, so I had to go searching. If Webster's isn't cutting it for you, look here. I'll spare you the details behind the rechibadihorrisuckiness that was, but let's just say I found myself face down in a cup of tea this afternoon staring at my distorted face in the liquid and contemplating life.

On a brighter note, last week was much better, despite some household accidents. Last week I got to hang out with two very cool little boys. The first of which was Caleb. His mom Kim taught me just enough about graphic design to make me know I'd be better off just sticking to photography. :) We got to play with his red wagon, and his grandma read to him, and his mom gave his eskimo kisses, and we all made him giggle.

The Highs and Lows of a Tuesday

Today has been an interesting day. Got to hang out with a sweet little boy named Caleb this morning (pics coming soon)! Managed to make lunch without leaving the stove on for hours. This is apparently my new thing. Sometimes I fear for the lives of the dogs. I really shouldn't be left here alone all day. And THEN, I was doing the dreaded. Vacuuming my stairs. With my new Dyson no less {that never loses suction-I can vouch for this,} and as I bent over to grab the cord, the Dyson grabbed me! A big hunk of my hair to be exact. Sucked it right into the little stair attachment and wrapped it all around until the vacuum was trying to suck in the rest of my head. Would not recommend it. The hair sucking that is. And so it goes. I am reminded daily of my shoddy attempts at domesticating myself. Here's to tomorrow...

What that little story has to do with this beautiful pregnant woman, I do not know. Maybe it's the little voice in the back of my head that says I need to remember to turn off the stove and master the art of vacuuming before I have a baby of my own. Knowing all that I know about pregnancy, I'm constantly left in awe of it. It's such a beautifully complicated miracle, and I'm so glad that I get to document it. I hope you enjoy!

New Birth Announcements!

It's been a productive week at Abby Gray Photography. Well for {some} of us. While Scotch and Maddox continued to do more of this...

I periodically checked to make sure they were still breathing and worked on these...

















I'm so excited about these new birth announcements! All the color and text can be fully customized to whatever your heart desires, AND there are new session packages coming soon. A lot gets done when I'm slightly over caffeinated. Happy Wednesday!
{Also if any photogs would like to know where to find more templates like these, shoot me an email and I'll send you the info.}

February Freebies!

Sleepy Head

I have two Golden Retrievers, and I think they must be the two laziest creatures on the planet. Since I've been working from home more, I've realized that the only time they actually move during the day is if they hobble downstairs to get a treat or if it's time to play (I am always alerted to when this time has come by the wet noses incessantly knocking my hand off the mouse until I finally stop working.) Otherwise - naps all day. As usual, Maddox didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Lately, anything before 10 a.m. seems to be unacceptable to him. But today, I got up bright and was ready to go. After some failed coaxing to get him up, I eventually just made the bed with him in it. He didn't seem to mind...
