…and soon to be Gage!  Sammy & Shawn are friends of ours that are patiently awaiting the arrival of one stubborn little boy.  He is a breech baby, and he doesn’t want it any other way, so they have scheduled a c-section in a couple of weeks.  Sammy has been helping us start our colts the last couple of years, tending to the horses’ feet, and more recently, helping us get a handle on our show heifers.  It is so nice to have good friends that you can count on that will do anything in the world for you, and you would do the same for them.  This baby has been a long time coming, and there are many family and friends who can’t wait to love on this little cowboy.  It sounds like he has already taken on a few of his daddy’s traits, which isn’t a bad thing Poor Shawn will just have to put up with two of them!  There is also a gallery up that was taken back in June when they just found out they were expecting, and it is one of my favorite shoots that I unfortunately didn’t have time to blog, so make sure to check it out, too!  I’m sure there will be newborn pics there soon so check back later!  To visit their galleries click here.

How cute is this?  Really- I can’t wait to show you a full gallery of this shoot because it REALLY deserves one!  Cody is an old friend of mine from way back in the day when I was showing my first reiner at AQHA shows.  He was showing his halter horses and we ran up and down the road hitting the Texas circuit.  We might have hit the road three times on the way to a show- I remember driving our load once and he looked down at the dash and said…..  well, I won’t tell you what he actually said, but I think he may have hauled his own the next time!  That was the year I actually qualified my gelding for the World Show in Amateur Reining.  Speaking of World Show, Cody just had a really successful show this year, and I know it had quite alot to do with his beautiful sidekick Melissa.  They will make a very successful team, and I couldn’t be happier for them both!   Check out Copeland Show Horses site here, and watch the slideshow of images here!

Ok- This is the cutest couple you  have ever seen.  You could see just how in love they are and the excitement over baby.  Zack took care of Jennifer all night long….We dodged lightning and storms all evening because we just couldn’t put the shoot off any longer.  Baby Erwin will arrive almost two weeks after our session.  They will soon meet baby Emma or Ethan- they wanted that element of surprise.  So after finding out that baby is breech, she is scheduled for a c-section on Thursday.  Good luck guys!  Here are a few of my favorites- there were too many to choose from!

ps- there will be a newborn session to follow, so stay tuned!
