“The law of love can best be understood and learned through little children.”
~Mahatma Gahndi
This little sweetie and her sis were just naturals in front of my lens. I had so much fun their beautiful mama’s maternity session, and I was so excited to meet this little Addison Grace (it is, after all, a pretty special name to me!!). She was just so darling–calm, sweet, beautiful and with the sweetest little serious look. What a fun session! Thank you so much, L family! It was a pleasure!

“A mother’s love for her child is like
nothing else in the world. It knows no
law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes
down remorselessly all that stands in its path. ”
~ Agatha Christie
I am crazy busy with proofing sessions right now, but I wanted to share just one from this recent newborn session. Ahhh, such sweetness between a mother and daughter…more sneakies to come soon!

“Even before the stars lit up the sky, your little boy had a special place in the heart of God. “
~ Unknown
This session was supposed to be a maternity session. His mama was anxiously anticipating her session, but this little man had other plans. He arrived six weeks early, causing his mama to forego both her maternity session and her plans for a belly cast. Do you think she even gives it a second thought now, though? Look what she has instead–a perfect, precious little baby boy. He was just 4 pounds, 14.9 ounces, but is so, so healthy for a preemie. He loved basking in the sun during our session and was in a deep slumber in no time. I love outdoor sessions for newborns–especially at this time of year. They love the warm weather and the slight breeze. Perfect! He even snoozed away as we put the little guy inside of a snowboard helmet (dad is an instructor). Adorable! Thank you for a wonderful session, G family!

This sweet little man was just a joy to meet–and his wonderful family, too! They were referred to me first via Louisiana, then from a friend in Texas–thanks J and A! 
They are so happy to welcome their little tiger (it is the Chinese year of the tiger, and that was his nickname while he was inside mommy–adorable, right?!), and he is just so precious. I just loved this session–from the beautiful design of the nursery, to the amazing green velvet chair to the great conversation…I could have stayed forever! I particularly love when items with sentimental value are used for newborn sessions. It just touched me when grandma told me that this beautiful chest that the little guy is snoozing on was passed down through several generations. She reminisced of lining it with paper to take it to college, and noted the lovely handles her own father had made. I hope they will, as the years pass by, find happiness and meaning in looking back at this photograph of their sweetie on this chest. Their protective doggie is even in the background keeping a watchful eye on her new brother.
Thank you for choosing me to document this amazing time in your lives, it was an honor and a pleasure to meet you. Enjoy your sneak peeks!

“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
