Everett...Newborn Session

Introducing.....Everett at 5 days old!  The newest addition to the Ault family, born late October!  Even though our world has been rocked and we've been short on sleep since the day he was born, mommy and daddy are completely smitten over this little guy!  I find it amazing the love our hearts are capable of holding and giving.  

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Psalms 139:13

We can't wait to see what God has in store for this little guy.  Bob and I are thrilled to be Everett's parents.  We hope and pray we can raise him up to be an honest, respectful, gracious and Christ loving individual.

Baby Ault Nursery

I use my blog mostly to share my photography of clients but here's a personal post.  My husband and I are expecting our first child in less than 2 weeks.  We are having a baby boy and his name is Everett Rogers Ault.  I've had requests to share photos of his nursery so here you go!  We've had a blast bringing it all together and can't wait to bring our baby boy home to his room!

A few neat facts!

The rocking chair has been repainted for Everett's nursery but it was the chair my 
sister and I were rocked in as babies by my sweet parents.  It will be very neat to 
rock my baby boy in it too!  We also got a really comfortable glider but decided 
to put it in the living room due to space constraints in the nursery.
The brown box that the changing pad is sitting in was custom built by my dad 
before I was born and used for me and my sister.  We decided to leave the original 
stain on it and use as is.
The daybed is a loaner from my parents and was my sister's bed for the longest 
time growing up.  Thank you mom, dad, and KK!  Since this room used to be our 
guest room, we wanted to be able to still accommodate an overnight stay from 
a grandparent!
The dresser is from an antique store in Tulsa.  We decided to leave the original 
stain on it and just add new knobs.  It has really deep drawers (24") which allows 
plenty of space to fill it up with clothes and supplies.
The bookshelves came from the same antique store as the dresser and I paid 
$20 for them.  I did repaint them the blue gray color.  And while they aren't anything 
special, they fit perfectly with our space restrictions and provide shelving for 
Everett's books.
The crib we bought new.  If we get to have it our way, there will be a few more 
babies to use this bed.

Changing Pad cover - custom made by my mom
Fabric embellishments on gray pillows - custom made by my mom
Crib bedskirt - custom made by me and my mom (mostly my mom)
Rocker cushions - custom made by me
Duvet Cover for Daybed (not pictured) is still in the works and will be neutral like comforter shown.

The rest of the nursery goodies are from all over.  (Target, Pottery Barn, Pier 1 Imports, TJ Maxx, and various local boutiques.  I spent a good portion of my second trimester running around town purchasing items, returning items, and purchasing other items so the nursery vision would come to fruition.  I'm so pleased with the outcome and so is my hubs.  Now we just need Everett to make his appearance!







Thank You

Thank you to my loving husband who has been very patient in the decorating process.  Thank you for being my handyman; assembling the crib, moving in the furniture, hanging wall decor.  Thank you for your opinions and feedback on the many items I brought home to consider in the nursery.  You are a wonderfully patient and kind husband to tolerate my nesting process which I realize was extreme and much longer than what the books prepared you for.  I love you so much and can't wait for us to start making memories with our son.

Thank you to my mom (aka Gigi) who has made several trips to Edmond to help with nursery projects and also give design opinions and feedback.  We've been to several stores together to match up the right shade of yellow gold and pick out fabrics for the crib bedskirt, duvet cover, pillows, and changing pad.  The gray pillows and changing pad wouldn't be nearly as cute without your ideas to embellish them.  We've also spent a good portion of your visits to Edmond not making nearly the progress we intended or hoped for.  Sometimes that was due to a fabric store not having the fabric we needed in stock (often there were a few tears followed by me) and sometimes we just slow poked around with other fun errands (enjoyed by both myself and mom).  I do admit that my extreme nesting mood and plan for nursery completion (by August, beginning of my third trimester) got me worked up often when we weren't as successful as planned, but now that I look back at it...the projects got done and Everett's nursery is cuter than planned.  Thank you Gigi for your time and contributions to Everett's nursery.  Thank you for your moral support through the pregnancy process.  I love you!


And.....
Stay tuned for newborn photos of our son once he's born!

Davis...6 Months!

Hello Handsome!  

I just love this little boy and his personality!  He is so fun to be around and he has a smile that will melt your heart!  So, I'm a little late sharing Davis' 6 month photos.  I just can't believe how time has flown!  He will be 9 months old in a couple of weeks and I will be sure to share those photos much sooner.  I've had a few other things on my plate these past 8 months; baking my own little one that should arrive late October.  And he and Davis are going to be best friends! 

Enjoy!

Birthday Boy....Eli Turns 1

Guess who turned 1 over the weekend?
Eli Marshal, that's who!



I have had the pleasure of taking photos of this precious boy every three months since he was born and now he is already 1 year old!   The development of a child between birth and a year old is just amazing.  It has been so fun to watch him grow and see his personality develop.  I just can't believe how fast this past year has gone.  I'm sure that momma bear feels even more strongly about that than I do!  Courtney, you have a good and handsome little boy!  Of course, you already knew that. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELI!





Check out his growth!

Baby Davis

Hello World!  
Welcome baby Davis!

Just sharing a few of my faves of this precious baby boy!  It only took 2 sessions to get some great photos of Davis.  A tiny someone does not like getting his photo taken... but you'd never know looking at these photos! His mommy and I worked together to snap these shots.   Enjoy!







And my absolute favorite....

On the Blog today....the Rodkey family!

The Rodkeys!  

Dee Ann and my mother have known each other since grade school in Norman and have stayed great friends throughout college, marriage, and motherhood.  Our families even lived on the same cul de sac in Edmond when we were just little ones.  While we have lots of memories together, a few fond memories I have spending time with this family...1. fun times swimming at the neighborhood pool.  2. All of us getting the dreaded chicken pox at the same time.  And lastly 3. I will never forget the time Lara and I got in trouble after we thought it was a good idea to play barber shop and give each other haircuts.  To this day, I have not had bangs and feel sure I will never pull them off.  Ok I'm pretty sure my hair cowlick has also contributed to this so Lara, you're off the hook!  

I'm so thankful the weather cooperated with us just days after Christmas to allow this photoshoot to be outside.  It was absolutely gorgeous out and really allowed some variety for the shoot!  It was so much fun photographing this family, meeting the newest addition to the family (Sam's lovely wife) and catching up.  

Enjoy!
