Nolan is 6 months! | The Hoyngs | Columbus Family Photography

This team is no stranger to this blog. Mandy’s been posing in front of my camera since i was in my first photography class in middle school, thru high school and she was my go-to when i was in photography school. She used to wanna be a model so it all worked out perfectly. My style has changed a ton since those days but she’s still one of my favorite subjects to capture. Family photography is one of my favorites, especially for new families, and especially when its my family. If this is your first visit to the blog, mandy is my beautiful sister, nick is her handsome hubs, and nolan is my adorable, perfect little nephew. And nolan turning 6 months old was a perfect opportunity for a family session!! sometimes its hard to believe he’s only 6 months old because i hardly remember not having him in my life.. and then i can’t believe he’s ALREADY 6 months old.. time is flying. and let me tell ya, this kid captures the heart of everyone he meets. That smile… its worth all the stupid human tricks i have to do to get it. he melts me. i love him so much.his facial expressions just crack me up.oh, have i mentioned how much he loves his mama?? because he so does. the smiles he saves for her are the best of all. and if he can’t see her, its like someone turned the lights off. He’s definitely a mama’s boy.. and he’s got her wrapped around his finger too. its still crazy to see my little sister as a mom! first time on his daddy’s shoulders, i think he liked it. Nick did too. 😉can we also talk about how perfectly coordinated they are?! i love it. perfect little family. and of course they wanted Jackson in a few, he was their first baby. and boy do these boys love each other. hoyng brothers. <3oh nolan, auntie jenny loves you so much. i hope you never stop giving me those sweet smiles! 

mandy and nick, i love you. duh. xxJBZ

nolan’s favorite things: sophie the giraffe, toy keys, reading books, and anything that isn’t his, lol. if we put his toys in front of him along w one of our items, he always goes for ours.

favorite foods right now: mama’s milk, sweet potatoes, bananas
least favorite foods right now: blueberries
one baby item you couldn’t live without: this is lame for us but its what we use the most – aquaphor because his poor skin is so dry. something more fun would be his Sophie giraffe
best piece of mommy/daddy advice to others: nick: enjoy sleep as much as you can before baby comes. enjoy each other before baby comes. And don’t worry about buying everything new–babies grow so fast, they don’t need brand new items
mandy: it won’t be like this for long. Snuggle your baby as much as you can. rock your baby to sleep and love on them as much as possible. they grow up so fast and if you blink, you might miss something.
favorite Nolan memory/moment so far: nick: when nolan was very small and he would lay and fall asleep on my chest. lately-my favorite thing is when he giggles.
mandy: when nolan was 4 weeks old and he looked up at me and smiled. my heart melted and i knew he knew i was his mama =) now every time he smiles at me after that special moment, my heart still melts and i wish i could freeze time.
i have many many memories and moments so far but my favorites are his big milestones. They make me feel like i’m doing something right.
