Excited to share a few photos from this little O's fan! Connor was eight days old for his newborn session. Such a scrumptious smile!
HARRISON: NEWBORN
Today I get to share a special newborn with you! Harrison was born fast and furiously five weeks early and weighed a whopping 5 lbs, 9 0z. His lovely parents asked me to photograph him at 13 days new. I am SO happy for Bernadette and Casey and can't wait for Harrison and Brooklyn to have many playdates! : ) Here are some of my favorites of this handsome little guy!
I love this next shot; every time I look at it, I think he's saying, "I HAVE A QUESTION!"
REFLECTION
Today, I woke up and was hit with a period of reflection. Time is a funny thing. When we first found out we were pregnant, time seemed to creeeeeep along as slow as molasses. The first trimester -- the scary period when you're worrying about miscarriage and you don't feel comfortable sharing your big news -- seemed to go on FOR.EV.ER. The second trimester flew by. Literally... I feel like I blinked and we were at 28 weeks. WHAT?! Now? NOW I'm at 36 weeks. My body has changed dramatically, my hormones are FULLY ragin' (case in point: tears are currently welling up in my eyes), and my love for my husband -- who has been so wonderful throughout the pregnancy -- has peaked to a new level. He's been the best at keeping me comfortable and calm, and I know he's going to be an incredible father.
It'll only be a short month before she is here and I am in FULL nesting mode. I'm trying to take the time to relax now before our world is flipped upside down (in the best way possible, of course). I am anxious and excited to meet her. To hold her little hands and kiss her little feet. To experience one of the most wonderful things imaginable. I know things will be messy and imperfect, but that's okay. I'm ready to embrace mama-hood fully and feel my capacity for love to grow exponentially.
MARY GRACE: NEWBORN
Today, I get to share with you Mary Grace at 15 days old. During her session, she was wide-eyed (I think I got about five "sleepy" frames -- ha!) but so incredibly well-behaved. This little one is SO darling (look at her hair! so amaze!), and I adore her parents. You may remember their gorgeous wedding that I photographed a couple of years ago. Being with a couple on their wedding day and then photographing their growing families provides such an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for me. I am so lucky! Leave Mary Grace some love, y'all. : )
I got TWO baby yawns. Ahhhhh love it.
Love her nursery!
I love this one!
Another favorite!
