Update on vegas: last week we shot a wedding in vegas (soon to come on the blog). The gambling situation did not go so well. I guess I am all talk. I dont know why the last few times I have lost in vegas, I use to always win. Maybe I am  being taught a lesson :: dont gamble!

This past week I have realized that Mark and I have a happy baby when Wyatt is on a schedule. Since I have figured this out every night I give wyatt a bath, read a book, sing a song, give him a bottle, and put him in bed by 6:00. The routine takes about 30 minutes. What's awesome is he will sleep from 6:00pm -12:00pm. So it gives me 6 hours to have friends over, clean, spend time with mark, answer emails, go to the gym etc... with out having to worry about the little guy. Then he sleeps from 12:00-4:00am and 4:00am - 6:00am. We have not really figured out a day schedule yet, but I am just so happy that we have finally figured out the night routine. While figuring this out I started to have faint memories of when I was a baby. Let me preface that statement by sharing, I have a very, very, very, good memory of past events. Most of my family will give me a call when they need to recall a past memory from 15+ years ago. I remember kindergarden, preschool, and being pushed in the stroller by my nanny at the age of 2 (im weird). When I rock Wyatt to sleep I vaguely remember my mom rocking me to sleep. I am not sure if I remember the rocking or the humming more. Its a weird feeling to be going through the motions with Wyatt every night and then for a split second remembering my mom doing the same thing with me. Every time I have a memory It reminds me that being a good mom is one of my top priorities. With that being said, enjoy this Christmas holiday and enjoy the memories!

Ryan and Tonyas E-session!!! About a month ago we met an awesome couple that was from Upstate New York. Mark and I go to upstate New York every year,  so when ever we find someone else from that area we instantly click. Check out our last trip to NYC and Upstate NY!!! Ryan and Tonya are so full of life and energy it rocks our world. We shot this awesome E-session of them when it was super duper windy. Some might not want to shoot in the wind because they need that "perfect hair photo". Well when we shoot in the wind we consider every photo the "the perfect hair photo" because its real, and fun. It was so awesome to see them interact and really enjoy each other during the shoot. They are so perfect for one another,  and we could not be more happy that they chose Mark Brooke Photographers to be apart of their E-session! Check out a FEW of our favs.
