PUPPERS///
I LOVE getting to work with people and their fur babies! Y’all welcome Lindsey + Andrew to the SRP family! We drove down to lovely Tifton, Georgia to the Peach Barn for their engagement session. I had the chance to play with their fur babies and feed them treats. Their babies are just as sweet as they are. ❤️❤️ #srambophoto #albanygaphotographer #tiftongaphotographer #engagementphotos #gaengagementphotographer #gaengagement #furbabies #thepeachbarn #peachbarntiftonga

Impromptu session yesterday with some dear friends I have not seen in a long time. I am so thankful we could visit with them if it was only for an hour or so. They were soo sweet to let me test out this little nugget of a location and I couldn’t resist grabbing a few shots of the kiddos as well. I’m looking forward to catching up with lunch or dinner sometime soon!

MEET BOGEY//
Bogey was a stray that had been abused and abandoned. His scars of emotional abuse have thankfully healed thanks to our support. He heard the laughter of my child and knew he had found his savior. My son was in love and Bogey chose us as his family. He has been a wonderful addition and peace keeper. He's there for us all on the good and bad days. So glad to call him family.

PRINT YO STUFF//
I just wanted to give everyone a peek at a new product available to all of you! These adorable 4x4 brag books are perfect for your coffee table and all occasions to hold all of your favorite images. You don’t have to worry about anything falling out like traditional albums because the images are printed and bound in album.
Let’s face it! We live in a very digital world (which is amazing), but our lives are busy and our images go unseen by our children. It’s their memories too. A study was done that said children who grow up with images in their homes of their families are actually able to remember more about their childhood. Even if you don’t get an adorable album... PRINT YO STUFF and display it somehow for them to see. ❤️❤️ They will love you for it later. .

NEW FIND//
I was browsing through this session again and reliving that precious day when I came across this image. It melts my heart when the babies want to do what I do. ❤️ Wonder if her mama would think it’s weird to print this and hang it in my house? 😂😂 .

LETS GO OUTSIDE//
This business journey has lead my down another path unknowingly to me. I just realized today that I am starting to photograph my kids more and more. KK especially. I am desperate to remember these little times with her, but also sad because A didn’t have images like this when he was growing. Mom guilt is very real. 😂

I’M PERFECTLY IMPERFECT//
To her I have no flaws.
To her I am 1000% perfect.
To her I am beautiful.
To her I am a best friend.
To her everything I hate about me doesn’t exist. .
In one small tiny moment my sweet princess reminded me today that I am perfectly imperfect. That it’s okay to be human. The things I see in front of me are NOT always how everything seems. I am grateful for the sweet face that threw her arms around me and I heard these words in the middle of some gibberish, “I love you mama.” It is so good to have someone to be able to see me as a perfectly imperfect human being.

I LOVE HER//
Yup, I do love her. She’s sweet, sassy, makes laugh with her silliness and is overall a joyful person till she doesn’t get her way, BUT what human isn’t. .
Then she smiles. Oh that smile right before a little giggle comes out that sounds exactly like Elmer Fudd breaks me every time.
.
Before she was born, I asked God to pack her full of all the good things and baby girl to be healthy. He definitely delivered with a few lessons for me. I LOVE HER!

A CHANGE OF SEASONS//
There is a change of seasons for everyone. Some are big and some are so very small. This seasonal shift in the Rambo home is a big one. My sweet baby girl has hit yet another milestone in her growth and has finally left the baby stages behind. There are no more baby stages left to conquer. She has learned to crawl, walk, talk and eat at the table with the big people. We have discovered our hands ,feet, belly, arms, legs, nose, ears, mouth, toes, eyes and fingers. The last thing I have left of this season is the pitter patter of tiny little feet on my wood floor. Oh how I LOVE that sound and it’s normally accompanied by a sweet little giggle.

You can read the rest of this mamas heart on the blog and see the video that sparked this entire post.

BUBBLES//
A few days ago I noticed that KK (to my knowledge) had never experienced the joy of bubbles before. We have never bought any and with summer approaching fast I thought spending time with family was the perfect time to get some. Well she LOVED IT! She woke up this morning asking for bubbles! 😂
Thankfully, I bought extra so we can have bubbles at home.

By any chance does anyone know of a DIY bubble recipe?

FAMILY//
I’m so excited to be spending today with my babies and husband. We had a little family fun and introduced KK to bubbles. Yup... I have been a naughty mama who has never let her experience bubbles. Since there is a first time for everything at least this one has been documented. 😁
How are you spending this Saturday afternoon?

HAPPY THURSDAY!
One more sleep till the weekend and then it’s time to edit, prep blog posts and regain my daily post on social media!
What’s next for me? Well... I dropped my beloved 50mm lens at a wedding and broke it. 😭😭😭 I am sooooo very upset at myself for not making sure I had a firm grip on it to prevent this exact thing from happening. I am always SO careful. 🤦🏻‍♀️
I am currently doing my best to give myself some grace and remind me that I AM HUMAN. Things happen and I have to flatten out my bunched up, big girl pants and walk on. Onward and upward! It does bring me so much joy to look at this couples smiling faces.

MY GIRL//
Kk hasn’t been feeling like her usual awesome self. That poor runny nose is making her cough pretty much all through the night. Keeps me wide awake racking my poor mama brain with ideas on how to help her. I know as a mom I am not the only one who has wanted to help your child, but couldn’t. That’s definitely the hardest part of being a parent. Any tips from other mamas on permanently getting rid of the runny nose?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY//
A few Sundays back I spent the day fueling my creative bone! It brought me so much joy to be around happy and creative people. These two were amazing to work with! They sweetly laughed at all my terrible jokes and patiently held still while I experimented with every imaginable angle. Thank you all for showing me a little love!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
