http://www.lydellphoto.com/slideshows/jay041507 We went to visit Jayden again today at almost 2 months old, amd we set out to do some portrait shots. The lighting never did cooperate with what we were trying to do, so we will get those shots when we can get Jayden into the studio where we can control the lighting. Today...

Those are so adorable. It looks like the light cooperated very well. He is just so darn cute!
Beautiful! You are so blessed!
Thanks for your comments. I’m really enjoying experimenting with pictures right now.
You guys are having too much fun with Jayden! Those are great!
I really enjoyed this slideshow…Jayden is a beautiful baby!!! He definitely looks like his daddy. Soooooo adorable pictures of him being cuddled by his parents.
:heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat: I’m totally in love!!!!!!! LOVE baby!!! He’s so flippin’ adorable, I just want to squeeze him up!!! I started writing down the image #’s of all the pics I liked (#1, 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 25, 34)… then I realized I love them all…!!! Truly!!! What a beautiful family you have!!!! You both are such awesome grandparents!!! Love you!!! ~ Dawn :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat:
:sunny: Ok already, he’s a cute little pudding pop! But when are they going to start on the next one? A little girl!!! Yea, that’s the ticket!:goodjob:
What sweet photos! I love the contrast of the soft new baby and tattoos! :love: Now that we are expecting our 4th Chris is trying to decide how he’s going to add the 4th to his cross tat on his leg (it the boys’ and my name on it, he says he may just have to get another one just for this baby
my favorite shot is the one with the tattoos and the baby!. very nice work!!
Great work. I think Jayden will have the most professional looking baby album EVER!!
Jayden is so adorable he look so cute in all of them.:sunny:
Love the little faces he makes in his photo’s.:sunny:
Kelly and Dave looks so proud of they’re little man.:sunny:
You guys are realy realy realy blessed with a wounderful family.

Mickie
I would be too. :sunny:
Thank Kerri! That candle photo was my favorite too
Yep, the tooth fairy comes to visit, so far only Brian has been visited by her several time, but Regan is anxiously awaiting his turn, lol
I think those turned out great. I totally love the photo of him in his dad’s arms with his name tattooed on the arm. He looks a lot like his dad, but I can see Kelli in him, too.
thanks for your comments, kerri. one of these days, i know we’re gonna be able to hook up. jayden really is blessed to have such loving grandparents who are so talented behind the camera! his expressions are priceless.
Thanks for taking the time to comment on my photographs that you liked best. I always like to hear what other people like about my stuff.
This slideshow is fantastic! He is growing and changing so quickly, I can see why you want to spend as much time with him as possible. My faves are #5 of daddy kissing Jayden and #37 of mommy and Jayden starring into each others eyes. So precious.
I was up in your neck of the woods this weekend. I did a photoshoot in Elk Grove where our best friends live. I’m up there often actually. I love that area so much. I can’t post pics from my photoshoot though because they are pictures for a SECRET mother’s day gift and the mom reads my blog. Shhhhhhhhh
Beautiful pictures! Beautiful family! Love their tattoos!! My husband has portrait tattooed on him of our little girl (2 1/2 years old) and now he has to have another one done of our baby girl (7 months old) one day.
I’m so sorry I missed you guys in Vegas! It was a great week, but I didn’t get to catch up with every one that I wanted too. I’d love to sit down and chat sometime. Hopefully we’ll be at the same conference soon~great baby session btw!
wow! I have to admit that I’m not a HUGE fan of tattoos, but your pics definitely made them all the more beautiful – very interesting combination, yet captured in a gorgeous way! Kudos to you, grandparents! I enjoyed every photo – you are so good at this stuff! I know I’ve said that before, but this set? Blew me away even more than the others. It’s just so amazing. Looking forward to seeing pics of him when he’s 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years old!
The parents are just beautiful to look at. So happy for them. ![]()
Kerri…make sure Mark shares the Amazon giftcard with you for winning the fotogopher.com contest…
Hi Kerri!
Yes, I did notice the footprints – just blew me away! I had never heard of a tattoo like that before! So awesome. I would NOT have the guts to do that! ![]()
Can’t wait to see more!
Kerri
btw, I’m a barbie freak, too! i love your profile pic! i’ve taken photos of barbie and ken dolls! Will post those soon! ![]()
:goodjob: WoW, you caught some personality in these. Jayden get’s more beautiful by the day. I know you can’t get enough of him!!!:love::love: He is so precious.
Yes, I was glad to hear from Lisa, its like the old days again, I really missed her. Even though I’m not there right now, I live in North Las Vegas. If you were on Vegas Drive, I live 1 street over off of Carey Drive. Whether you were north or south on Vegas, you probably weren’t 2 miles from where I live. There’s a lot of places in North Vegas but it is away from the hustle and bustle of the strip. It’s pretty quiet out where we live and I love it. I am sorry we missed each other, I’m sure we will have another opportunity to meet. Have you ever heard of Downey, Ca., it’s somewhere near Los Angeles? I will be there near the end of June at my aunts retirement party. I plan to be there overnight so if you are anywhere close maybe I will get to see you then.
It’s amazing how much emotion music can add to pictures. Thanks for the compliment. I took the photo of the little girl on my background. She was one of the darlings I took care of while living in India.

Heading out to Kelly and Dave’s for the day…gonna try and get some nice portrait style images for once. I dont want to keep posting quick shots or my unedited or poorly edited picasa images on here anymore. Its time Jayden had a true photoshoot! So off we go~ Be back later! ~K In the...

He’s already changed so much! I love his beautiful smile. What a handsome little boy! Papa-paratzi, you did a great job!!! ~ Dawn
Hi Kerri! THANK YOU for all of your prayers and encouragement during my really rough ordeal with two surgeries in one month! All the prayers meant so much to me! :heartbeat:
Wow Jayden is growing FAST. I haven’t been by here in quite a while. When I have some more time
I definitely will come back and catch up with all of your blogs and keep up-to-date with your
daily lives!
I am sad you won’t post any more badly edited photos (although I didn’t think so) I understand this
as a business move. Just stay real… like you always have! That’s all that matters!
Much love and blessings
Julie Ann
Beautiful!! :sunny: Jayden is already 7 weeks!?!? :spinning: I remember you guys waiting so anxiously for his arrival. He’s adorable!!! :love:

Adorable! Some of the facial expressions in the shots almost make a “caption” come to mind! God bless you! Gerrie
Awww.. “adorable” is right! He has great expressions
(By the way, is the bottom right corner photo a repeat of the second one?)
Too cute! He does look like he’s very engaged in conversations with his mommy. I can’t wait!
Hi Kerri,
It’s me, Lisa. He is such a cutie. I’m so happy for you guys.
Love Always, Lisa
He’s sooooo cute! The baby/mommy photos are precious. I posted my photos from Empire Mine. It was so pretty. We were so impressed with the beauty of the gardens and buildings. We are happy that you get to photograph a wedding in that lovely place. And the roses!!! They will be blooming like crazy.
So many cute expressions. I love the way babies communicate. What fun.
He is so cute! He looks a lot like his daddy to me. How can you resist not kissing him all day? I know you can’t.
Hi Kerri,
What beautiful studies of all Jayden’s moods and faces.
Christine
:wave:Oh Kerri, How precious! I knew that I wouldn’t have to go too far back to find some current pix of Jayden! :goodjob: I love his smile! :love: {{{hugs}}} Carolyn

Okay… that makes me hungry! We have a Joe’s Crab Shack near us… I think it’s calling our name tonight! Have an amazing weekend! ~ Dawn
Hi Barbie and Ken!
:sunny: Just dropping a line to say I am thinking of you guys and praying that God SOON gives me a passion in life like YOU have a passion in photography! I have a passion…i do…:lol: ….but i don’t have the resources or financial backing YET. (See the YET?) :giggle: Have you heard from Lisa lately? Have a blessed weekend…..Sara
Hi Kerri,
Love these shots, and thank you so much for your nice comments, I’ll have to post some more images of Rachelle and Campbell I think.
Christine
Great pictures as always! I did photo shop the 5th picture.Thanks for the comment.If you would pray for my daughter(Rebekah) she’s16 and has been sick for to long.
Those are great! You should sell those to Joe’s or at least get a free meal for them… :yes:
Hey, Im surprized Mark didn’t change the name on the building to say “eat at Lydells” ! Ha!

Last January we took a trip to Old Sacramento and had dinner at one of the restaurants there. This was the bar they had inside…I was just cleaning out my old files and thought I would post this… I love the look of the bar and the capture of life in that moment… ...

Hi kerri,
Terrific atmospheric shot. Bet it brings back vivid memories even more so seeing the photo.
Christine
Nice. The b/w and decor make it look so vintage…but then the TV and cell phone give it an entirely different feel… Good stuff.
Uh oh, AI-Servo interference? Or is that a camera phone? Sorry for being geeky, I actually love the ambiance of the image. Great capture…
-Matt-
Gee honey, was this the day you had to borrow a Nikon to take some pics?
Would love to see this in an old-time sepia with an aged photo look. I agree – great capture of life happening. Photojournallistic for sure.
Mark
What a neat place! If the people were in different dress, I would think this was taken 100 years ago!
