oh blue... how I love you!

So I have had this photo sitting on my desktop for a few weeks now...

I saw it on a friends blog, but its originally from Deliciously Organized

Everday for the past week I have been drooling over this room. 

I love everything about it!

Style

Color

Clean

Organized

Blue!

Funky

Crisp & Clean

finally spring!

This past Sunday we spent the day with grampa and gramma Studebaker {aka Logan's parents}

This photo was taken in their yard... they have so many plants..  maybe one day I will have a fabulous yard!  I posted a couple more on my photo blog!  Let me know what you think of them!

I was super excited to play around with my new lens. Be prepared to see some stunning bridals that are taking place this Saturday and then I have a newborn shoot comin' up as well! Can't wait!!

So Larkyn is getting so big!  AND you better believe I am thrilled to have warmer weather and get her out of the house!  I honestly think she was starting to go stir crazy. 

I can't decide if Larkyn is a mama's girl or a daddy's girl... she kind of goes back andforth.  Logan is so great with her and she completely adores him!  I am so lucky to have such a wonderful hub who works sooo hard to take care of our little family! 

We need to have some family pictures done!  This one will do for now! {even tho we all look sped}

Oh ps... I am planning Larkyn's bday party.  Any suggestions?  Should we have lunch along with cupcakes & ice cream??  I have never planned a bday party before... But I am super excited!  Once I get her invitations made I will for sure post one!  They're gonna be cute!!

hiho hiho... its off to work I go!

So in case you haven't heard... I am a workin' mama again! 

Last week I accepted a job a Draper City {pretty much doing the exact same thing I did at Highland}.  I work in the mornings from 7 am to 1 pm.  I am pretty excited to work again and to have the extra money!  We all know anything extra makes a huge difference. 

To be honest I feel extremely grateful to have found a part time job so fast! {given a lot of people's situations that they are in and YES we are some of those people.} 

Last week Logan and I were discussing my new job and I think I shed a couple tears... only because its an answer to many prayers we have said over the last several months.  We definitely could use the relief financially. 

I started on Monday... today is Thursday.  This week has worn me right out!  I hope that my body and brain get use to the new schedule fast because I hate it when I feel like I am dragging. 


Some more great news... I bought a new lens today for photography!  YEAH!!  I am super excited to use it this weekend at a shoot.  YES I am still going to work on photography a lot and I need to sit down and plan the summer for pishposh mama.  Its gonna be a busy year! 

more posts to come...  recipes, motivation, and I will post some photos of my baby girl! 

lata!

hmmm

Ok Folks!  I am trying to make a decision and I really really really think your feedback will help influence me! 

Sooo... I have 3 blogs that I contribute to..

This one...

My photography blog...

And PishPosh mama...

The thought of consolidating this blog and my photography blog has been running rapid thru my brain. 

Obviously I am not sooo incredibly busy with photography that I post on that blog everyday. 

I think it would be nice to have both on one blog...
number 1: to help save me time {since I am officially going back to work... sigh}... number 2: it would be one less blog for everyone look at...
number 3: well... i thought I had a 3rd thought but it must have left my head

Anywho... Let me know what you think!

Smoothie = YUM...

For the past 5 years Logan has been trying to get me to try this smoothie that he made almost everyday while on his mission... 

So I gave in and tried it... FINALLY!  =)

Ingredients..
- 1 banana
- 1 orange
- 1 apple
- 1 tomatoe
- a few strawberries
- 2 carrots
- 1/2 beet {if you really love beets you can do a whole}
- 1/2 cup of strawberry yogurt
- 1 to 1 1/2 cup of orange juice

obviously if you want to add other ingredients such as blackberries, raspberries, peaches, broccoli, or spinach you can... 

I know the vegetables sound weird and its not going to be as sweet as the smoothies at the smoothie shacks, but its super healthy. 

Give it a try and let me know how you like it.  Or if you mix a few other things let me know!

I found out today....

We are having another little girl!  Yipee!! 

I know this might come as a shocker... we haven't told anyone in the family about our suprise... 

Holy Moly...

I couldn't wait any longer!!

wanna model...

I have an itch...

I need to shoot a wedding... a bride... or both...

Until I book something I'm lookin' for a model... someone unique and not afraid to be in front of the camera. 

What I am lookin' for...  edgy, vintage, cowgirl, 50's, red, accessories, one of a kind...

Where I want to go... a field or an orchard...

I want lose hair, preferably lose curls... maybe pinned to the side. 

I honestly dont care if  you are a new bride or a bride who has been married for 10 or more years that can still wear that magical dress...  I want to photograph YOU! 

If you are too afraid to contact me and know someone lookin' for free bridals or bridals they never got... PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAY! 

If you are interested please please please email me at haylielynphoto@hotmail.com or if you are one of my close friends just call.. 

Depending on the response maybe I will offer 2 shoots... All on me folks!

prayers needed...

A couple hours ago I got a call from my mom... then my sister in law...

My oldest brother Nathan just got a job offer in South Carolina...  Wait?  What??

So... for those of you who don't know... He is my only sibling that lives near me... the rest {5} are in Florida.  He is the father of 2 of my nieces.  These little girls mean more to me than they will ever know.  They currently reside in Syracuse, UT...  which isn't too far and even with them this close we don't get to see them as often as I would like.  He is the husband to my sister in law Laura...  Who I absolutely adore.  I wish more sister in laws were as easy going as she is ;) 

Here is a picture of Maia and Leah holding Larkyn when she was 5 days old. 

While I was on the phone with my sister in law I was fighting back the tears... the thought of them being on the other side of the country just breaks my heart. 

They are flying there tomorrow to scope out the area...

Obviously I hope the best for them.  I only want them to be happy and honestly Nathan, my brother, he works hard and he deserves a lot.  He deserves to get a great job, doing something that he loves, getting paid what he is worth. 

Why do I ask for the prayers...  ??

Well, the prayers are actually for me... I know I am selfish.  =)  Just Kidding.  I just pray that things will work out for the best for them...  and for me... I know I know selfish. 

I know that whatever is meant to happen will...

I just hope that Nathan's current boss will be able to see how valueable he is and will decide to counter offer his current offer on the other side of the country. 

We find out in a week or so... 

Whitney Maternity {sneek peek}
