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.

These are some of our dearest friends. They are such beautiful people with such beautiful souls, really. We met at a mommy’s group when our boys had just turned a year old. Sometimes I feel we are leading parallel lives. Our boys are six weeks apart and are such good buds–Jack always talks about his “Lukie”–and we welcomed our daughters into the world a mere seven weeks apart. They were who we entrusted Jack to when I left him for the very first night in his life when I went into labor with Addison. It is such a special thing to have someone who is experiencing all the same joys and challenges of motherhood as you, at often the exact same time. It was a true pleasure to capture the love they have for one another and to photograph these two little beauties. Jack is smiling at the computer screen right now, telling me, “Oh, there’s Lukie and there’s…” He loves seeing his buds. Thanks for your friendship, and thanks for a great session…oh and a yummy dinner afterwards! Love ya!

Wow. This little redhead has grown up so much since I last saw her for her newborn session back in July. She was a gorgeous newborn, and she is a gorgeous baby, too! Check out those eyes! I just love this family–so sweet and they adore their daughter. I can’t wait until mama starts to sell some of the awesome kids clothes she makes! Hint, hint girlie–get going! He he!
