little chunky

meet keidon. he is the chunkiest little delicious baby you have ever laid your eyes on.

honest to betsy. his grin is contagious, and his little chunky lips and chin make you want to just kiss him non-stop!

he's a little sneak peak at what you're going to be seeing within the next week!

Meet The Cavin's

they're a loud rambunctious group. this family session was full of jokes, laughs and smiles.  (it may have also included me setting the ten second timer on the camera and rock jumping to my place in the formation just in the nick of time. be proud, i didn't fall. not even once!)

and guess who's family it is?!

you guessed it, mine! aren't they just a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.?!

i think so. just have a look-see!

 

hey y'all! i promised to get another shoot up here! i am working on it right now! but here's a little teaser for ya!

guess who's family this is??

mine! aren't they so adorable?!

this whole shoot was full of jokes and giggles!

day ten: one confession

we did it! day ten! it's finally here! (;

one: i'm 21...and i still to this day sleep with a baby blanket. every single night. i have crazy anxiety people. and can't manage to sleep without the thing. it calms me down. i have even taken it to school when i have crazy exams, and guess what, i do better. weird?? it's probably all in my head. but i'll take it! it still makes me feel better. true story.


woo! day ten! we finished y'all! sorry that the ten days turned into something like four months....but! we're so done now. (: woot!

day nine: two emotions that describe my life

we're almost there people!!!! so close!

one: impatience.
honest to betsy, i am not a patient woman. it's one quality i do not have, and i don't know if i ever will. i have gone through a great many moments in life where you'd think i would have gotten it....but nope. it may have made me slightly, ever so slightly, more patient. but it sure doesn't last long. ha! it's really something i should work on. life requires patience. period. i will learn it one day. hopefully. (; i just like things to be done right then and there, when i need or want them and maybe even how i want them.

two:  happy.
i'm a look at the bright side kind of person. (not saying i'm never down, it happens to everyone, but i try super hard to still be positive) in my opinion, life is better when you're positive. yah, i could get down about things going wrong, OR i could look at what good things came from whatever it was going differently. happiness is a choice. and i choose to be happy and positive even when it's really super hard. besides, my mood rubs off on the people i am around, i would much rather influence them positively!

day eight: three turn on's

i much rather dig writing about this! happy things. here we go!


one: laughing.
so hard that i cry. laughing is the best thing. it can change my mood from bad to good faster than you can say jack robinson. when i laugh really hard, i can hardly breath, and i usually end up snorting. which makes me laugh harder. it's awesome. i think laughing makes life lighter, sometimes life is just so heavy, and you need to laugh to let go. to be yourself. and happy. to forget the bad things for a moment. to just feel happy, even if it's only while you're laughing. you had that moment, that blissful free moment where you felt the weight on your shoulders lighten immensely, and maybe even tears run down your cheeks. it's one of the best feelings in the world. in my opinion. (:

two: talking. openly. about deep and difficult things. and easy fun things.
i'm a big talker. not usually gossip (i can't say never). but i like talking about the day- how it's going or how it isn't,  or how you're feeling, what you're thinking, what your plans are, how you're going to accomplish them. really, it's more than i just like it, i need it. i need to talk. honest. when i don't, i'm stuck in my head. thinking. about anything and everything at the same time. i lose my sanity. talking is something i really have to do, but i genuinely enjoy talking. getting to know y'all deeper with every passing day. after all, people change, things change, opinions change, everything can and eventually does change. so with that being said, there is always something new i can learn about you! the only way i'll learn it is if we talk. the only way we'll get closer is if we talk. so, talking. i'm big on it. pretty pro-talker. (; 'nuff said.

three: driving. fast.
i can't explain it. it's like i'm Erin Andretti (he's a race car driver, well, his first name is Mario. but his last name is Andretti. and he drives crazy fast....). i.lovedriving.fast. and pretending i'm a race car driver. there's just something about it that's freeing. i just kind of let go when i drive period, but driving fast is even more than that. i'm letting go and doing something exhilarating.  if only it was legal to drive over 90mph on the freeway (;

day seven: four turn off's

oh hey, i'm alive. and back. y'know a whole lotta stuff went down over the last few months that had my mind spinning....and so blogging here wasn't exactly the first thing on my mind. but i won't bore you with all that jazz! (if you're super interested in reading about it, check out my personal blog here. there are a few posts that are just music...you can just scroll on past those.)

this is a weird one, it's difficult to pick out turn offs. it's not exactly something i think about all that often....and it took a while to write. (definitely not the couple/few months it's been since i posted, sosupersorry!)

let's just jump right in shall we??

one: saying i apologize instead of i'm sorry.
i apologize, to me, says either you don't care or you're not taking responsibility.  you are acknowledging that yes, something happened, but you aren't taking ownership pr responsibility of the issue. i just think that if you're going to say sorry, if you're going to apologize, then you should mean it. and if you don't mean it, well then don't say it. i can't explain exactly what it is, but man it sure drives me bonkers.

two: lack of having or showing appreciation/gratitude.
i am a giver. i enjoy doing things for people and making their lives that much easier. i like making people smile, laugh, feel loved, or just feel that little bit of their burden lifted. be it cleaning, cooking, running errands, sending cute little mushy messages, what have you. i like doing it. i love helping people. i never expect anything in return, i do it because i care. however, never being thanked kinda burns me out. and makes me wonder if what i did even helped them out. in coming to that realization, i always always always do whatever i can to make sure people know i am grateful for every little thing they do for me. even if it's as small as getting me a drink. (though, i admit, i have a really super hard time accepting gifts.)

three: being super negative. about everything. all the time.
i get that bad things happen, and sometimes, you just need to vent. or you need a pity party. and baby, i'll throw one with you. but every moment being negative kills me. i'm super empathetic, maybe too much for my own good. and i'm not sure if that is why, but moods rub off on me. literally. if you're grumpy or upset, within 30 minutes of being around you, by golly, i will be too. so i need peppy, happy people here.

four: being closed off completely or unwilling to communicate.
nothing is more frustrating to me. i talk. and i plan. and if i can't talk or plan with people in my life i go bonkers. true story. c.r.a.z.y. dude. i need to talk, i need to talk often. about everything that is going on in my brain (you'd be surprised how much that really is)
