Happy New Year Everyone- Be safe!!

Perfect Timing

It was just a normal day. Nate kissed me goodbye as he left for work, and I mumbled a "goooodbyyyye" as he walked out the door. I layed in bed for a few minutes telling myself I had to get going. I was exhausted. I rolled myself out of the bed (yes I do literally roll out of the bed :)) & not expecting it to say anything but "not pregnant" I took a pregnancy test. I had been doing that for about 9 months now. Every month I was off a couple days... would take a test, only to be disappointed and go on with my day. I didn't expect this day to be any different.
I laid the test on the counter, and I started my shower. A few minutes later I glance down and the word caught my eye. PREGNANT.
Whaaaat??? I looked again... & there it was... I was pregnant!!!! OH MY GOODNESS... No words could ever explain that feeling... I could not believe my eyes, and sort of didn't. I was too afraid to get excited because I figured I probably did something wrong. I finished getting ready, and then remembered... I have a doctor's appointment today!
Seriously.. I had an appointment scheduled with my family doctor for my toe. (I have this very persistent ingrown nail :( ) It could not have worked out better... I didn't have to wonder if I had done the test right, haha- my doctor could tell me right away!
Needless to say, I was a little more than overjoyed, shocked, and oh so excited when my doctor looked at me last Tuesday & said, "your test was positive, you are most definitely pregnant."
Sooooo, for those of you that don't follow me on twitter or facebook or somehow have not heard yet... Nathan and I got the best Christmas gift this year- We are going to be PARENTS!!! :)
Yayyyyy!!!!! :)
Here are some family reactions I captured when we first told them the news :)

Merry Christmas! Love, Nate & Britt

Everyone,
Hope you all have a beautiful Christmas Eve & Christmas!
I love everything about this time of year... The lights, decorations, weather, sweaters & boots & scarves :), eeeeeverything!
But most of all, I celebrate this season (and everyday for that matter) that God became man for me!
It was the only way for Him to connect with us, on our level. And our God & Creator loves us & longed so much for me to know that... So much that he sent his son to the earth & my Creator became man. Wow. It's an amazing love, isn't it??
I hope you all feel God's love this Christmas!
Love you friends, family, & random internet readers :)
Thanks for following my thoughts & photos! I know a post is no fun & will probably get skipped without a photo, but unfortunately I am on the road traveling with my love so my words will have to be enough this time. :)
Merry Christmas!!

BRITT FARRIS PHOTOGRAPHY / Caldwell Family Fall Photos

If you followed my old blog much you probably know my sister's family, Anthony, Christina, and their little girl, Briley.

I introduced little bit to you here when she dressed up as a little duck for her first Halloween. And here are some sweet pictures of her from Thanksgiving last year.
Anthony and Chris are expecting another little girl in March- yay!! :)
I took a few photos for them this year at Thanksgiving, and I'm happy to share some of them with you.

The Caldwell's...
















Hope everyone is having a fabulous start to CHRISTMAS WEEK!! :)

Love,
Britt

BRITT FARRIS PHOTOGRAPHY / Flowery Branch, GA Photographer / Chris and Taylor ((Christmas))

You may remember Christina and Taylor from a couple months back... Christina is a very dear friend of mine. She wanted to get a few shots of her beautiful little girl and herself before Christmas. For the first part of the session we met in Downtown Flowery Branch, and then headed to my apartment (where it was warm!) for a few more.
Here are just a few of my favorites... Love you girls!











I love Christina's eyes!

She's beautiful...

BRITT FARRIS PHOTOGRAPHY / Braselton, GA Photographer / Ayers Family Together!

As promised, here are the rest of the images from my fun session with the Ayers Family!
Mark and Heather are my HEROES. They have 3 children under 3. Ummm, yes.. you read right... 3 children that are 3 and younger! But their babies are so so cute, and Mark and Heather are wonderful parents.
It was so neat to see them interact as a family when no one else was around.
Hannah (who has always been quiet around me) was Miss. Talkative.
Noah (who is usually Mr.Social) is so loving & so sweet with little brother.
And Mom and Dad are so go-with-the-flow, loving, and patient with their little cuties!
Jonah kept pretty quiet, but I'm sure that will change ALLLL too soon ;)
I love you Ayers Family, you seriously are amazing! :)
Hope you enjoy your pictures!












LOVE this! :)

&&& this.. Aren't they precious??



Don't you just LOVE Noah Man's hair?!?!!

I love this- How calm Mark is...

BRITT FARRIS PHOTOGRAPHY / Braselton, GA Photographer / Baby Jonah

I had my first Newborn Session last Saturday! I was so nervous, but sooooo excited for the opportunity to photograph baby Jonah. His mommy and daddy are great friends, and I LOVE photographing my friends! :)
We also took some fun family photos that day that I will post next!
Mark and Heather, thank you for the opportunity to capture your precious little man... Love you guys!






I love little baby feet :)

BRITT FARRIS PHOTOGRAPHY / Cumming, GA Photographer / Bauer Family Part 1

When Tracy contacted me she said that wanted to capture some family photos of all the brothers and their families while all the brothers were in town; I was more than happy to oblige! (You may remember her beautiful little girls from about a month ago.)
I had a great time getting to know this family... You wouldn't know it by the photos, but it was }}freeeeezing{{ cold outside!
Thank you, Bauer Family, for the opportunity to capture your fun family, and sticking out the cold with me!
Here are just a few of my favorites... (More to come, too many to choose from with 3 families!:))

Worth Every Second

Thanksgiving went by super fast for me. I loved every second of seeing our families, but it seemed over before it even started. I'm sitting in the car a little frustrated thinking I'm spending more time in the car than relaxing with my family, enjoying my Daddy's pecan pie, eating leftovers from the day before, or watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

And then it hits me.

It didn't matter the time I spent with anyone, but that I got to see them. It didn't matter the leftovers I missed out on, but that I had a meal to eat. Who cares about the parade when instead I got to see my sleepy eyed niece slowly drag her feet down the hall after waking up.

And most important of all, I spent 12 hours (yes, I counted!) in the car with my favorite guy... laughing, discussing life, singing, just being together... and that was worth every second of it all.
