Michelle Tandy Photography ~

New Babies are such a blessing to have in our homes. And I have wanted to share our joy with all of you, and I finally found the way to do it! ~ I have a friend in Elk Grove who took all the pictures below. Her name is Michelle Tandy and she does amazing work!
These pictures were taken in our house that we were living at in Elk Grove just before our move to Fresno. Landon is 3 weeks old, and Hailey is just a few months shy of 2 years. These pictures were Matt's Valentine's Day Present, and they were a TOTAL surprise for him.
We are VERY lucky that we will have these priceless pictures to remember our little baby boy. Michelle and I both got teary eyed as we were setting him up for one of the pictures, it was a testament to me that we are SO blessed to be given these precious little spirits!
We hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we have. THANKS MICHELLE!!

This picture is Matt's favorite! Michelle brought all the props you see in the pictures. She made the little sacks that Landon is pictured in, they were SO cute! ~
This is my Favorite picture!! I love his eyes ~
This picture captures how Landon was feeling... he was SUCH a trooper! ~ These pictures were taken outside in the backyard of our Elk Grove house...
It was the perfect time of day with the light for this picture. Snug as a bug in a rug....
Most of you know that Hailey does not sit still, so this was a surprise for ONE of the many pictures Michelle took to come out of her. She is such a sweetie ~
We actually laughed at this picture after Michelle took it because he was just SO relaxed that his hands were dangling, but it is one of my favorites! ~
Landon holding my hand ~
I am glad I will have this reminder of how small me little boy was. I am holding him in MY hand here! ~ Great things really do come in small packages.....
This picture reminds me of a special moment. Landon was crying, and Hailey wanted to calm him, so she walked up and gave him a kiss on his head. Luckily Michelle had the camera in hand to capture this special moment for me...
He always is trying to suck his fingers ~
SO CUTE ~
I am constantly amazed at what our Heavenly Father has blessed us with. I want to find more time to just sit back and NOT be disrupted by the worldly things and just look at my kids and enjoy them! Michelle has given me this opportunity to enjoy the time Landon was small. She has inspired me to learn more about taking pictures and enjoying watching my children grow up.
You can find more of her work at michelletandyphotography.blogspot.com there is also info on her site if you would like to use her to capture your precious moments ~ I have a link to her webpage on my blog under A Few of my Favorite Things if you want to see her page in the future....

Can I please just say thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful post. You are just too sweet!! I absolutley love the pics and I have got so many comments (on and off the blog) about how precious they are, which has everything to do with Landon - not me. I am so glad that Matt loved them. Thanks for writing which ones were your favorites. It is always so cool to me to see everyone's different tastes. Well, you guys are just a wonderful family and I am so glad that I was able to spend one of your last days here in Elk Grove with you. If you can, send me your email address so we can keep in touch. If you guys would like to do some family pictures I will actually be in Fresno this weekend but I have three photo shoots scheudled. However, I will be back at the end of March to shoot a wedding. We could do it then. We will be in touch :) Hope all is well in Fresno, I am sure everyone is thrilled to have you back.

What beautiful pictures. My favorite is the one with Landon sucking his thumb in the sack. He looks like a little peanut blossom! Hailey is getting big and looks like such a great big sister.
