“Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.”
~Menachem Mendel Schneerson
One. So hard to believe. My sweet Addison is one today. Everyone tells you how fast time flies, but it is hard to really feel what they are talking about until you experience it yourself. I have a mixture of emotions today. I am sad that my baby is growing up, I am happy for her smiling little face, I feel content that we made it through that first, wonderful year that is also filled with challenges–a year of many sleepless nights trying to help her figure out a sleep schedule, countless hours of nursing, teething and getting used to having two very young children. See, though, it is hard to call these “challenges”, because as I write this I just see the amazing blessing. All those nights spent up with Addison in the wee hours of the night nursing her each time she awoke were precious, quiet moments that I got to spend with her and only her. Moments that I already long for and miss. I *almost* want to wake her up some nights just to rock her. Notice I say almost. Sleep can happen when I’m old. Right now I have my beautiful children. My mind travels back to laboring with her and wanting so badly to bring her into the world with peace and love and calmness and being present. Realizing as she lie next to me in the still of the night with her big, wide eyes staring back at me and not making a sound, that THIS is how it is supposed to be. THESE are the amazing first moments of having a baby. Not being drugged up, not tears and sadness, not fear and worry, not wires and ventilators or not holding your baby for ten days. Addison, you healed me. I saw that those first days can be relaxing and exhilarating. You make me so happy and I feel so incredibly blessed to have both you and your brother. I love the relationship the two of you already have–you one and Jackson three. Wow. I have a one year old and a three year old. How did that happen?! The past three hundred and sixty five days have been nothing short of spectacular, my love. Here’s to enjoying the joy of a million more.
all the love in the world,
mommy

“The child must know that she is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like her.”
~Pablo Casals
This precious baby girl was just so wonderful to photograph. She has the most beautiful brown eyes and just loves to look around. As you walk back toward her gorgeous nursery, you pass by a wall of large photographs of her two year old big bro as a baby. Oh.my.goodness. It could be the same baby! I love that! It is the same way with my two little ones–they are almost exactly the same age apart, and sometimes I swear I am looking at Addison’s baby photo when in fact it is Jackson’s! This little sweetheart will snooze in style–her nursery is an elegant mix of classic, modern and vintage. A room fit for a princess. It was such a pleasure to meet this wonderful family and to photograph such a sweet, darling baby girl. Thank you for opening your home to me. You are truly blessed! Enjoy your sneak peeks!

“A child is God’s opinion that life should go on.”
~Author unknown
This sweet baby boy was born just days before Christmas. Can you imagine a more divine gift? His wonderful mom and dad–who I got to hang out with during their maternity session here–are naturally just thrilled. They decided to keep the gender a surprise, so you can imagine how sweet it was in the delivery room to hear, “It’s a boy!!” He is so sweet and calm–I could have cuddled him all day!! Don’t you just adore his darling red hair, too? Congrats, B family. Savor each and every moment with your amazing little gift.

“When that baby looks into your eyes and you know it’s yours, you know what it means to be alive.”
~ Anonymous
What an amazing “job” I have. I just feel so lucky to be able to hold babies that weren’t even here just a few short days prior. What a miraculous thing to be able to look into a baby’s eyes and to truly see the whole world before them. Seriously. I am in awe each time I leave a newborn session. I have definitely been getting my baby fix this month! This little man was the third little newbie for December, and another client just welcomed a baby boy this morning. That makes four boys for December! Isn’t he so sweet? His parents and big sisters (aren’t they just beautiful, too?!) are obviously in love with him already, and really how could you not be? Mom and Dad had so many fun ideas–we put this little guy into a stocking, a football helmet (with a strong middle name like Packer can you guess what team is a family fave?), a Santa outfit and so many cute little hats. Dad is in the jewelry business, so we just had to show how little this sweetie’s toes are by trying Dad’s ring on for size. He was such a good sport and patiently modeled for me for several hours. I just had to post the one of him in the stocking because I love how he is seemingly fascinated by his cute little hands. Thank you for welcoming me into your home–I can’t wait for you to see the rest! Enjoy your sneak peeks!

” I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle. “
~Vincent van Gogh
I fell in love with this little man the instant I saw him. He started off the session by giving me some adorable smiles and later showed off his stunning baby blues. I just adore this amazing yellow blanket–it belonged to this little man’s great grandmother. I love to photograph newborns with items of sentimental value or importance. It makes the photographs that much more special. Mom and dad are obviously smitten with their new sweetie, and it shone through in their images. It was amazing to meet you all, thanks so much for allowing me the honor of photographing your beautiful family.
