Wow!  Baby C is so completely gorgeous, it is hard to choose favorites!  She was so fun and sweet to photograph and I loved visiting with her family again.  They visited us just 6 months ago for newborn portraits.  I can’t believe how fast she’s grown!  6 months is my absolute favorite age to photograph.  The giggles, the smiles, the baby chub!  I love it!  Enjoy your preview G family, and your beautiful baby girl.  It was a pleasure as always :0)

The room was filled with women who have a strength I can’t comprehend.  They all lost someone that they loved nearly 9 months ago.  C’s father.  I’ve grown to love this family over the past months and the combination of joy and sorrow was palpable in my small shooting room.  It’s all I could feel as I photographed the newness of this tiny blessing in their lives.  They brought with them little memories of C’s dad.  One of my favorite portraits is C curled up on a quilt made out of his father’s shirts.  After two hours of awake time, he snuggled up on the blanket like it was home.  And smiled.  I sat down at my computer after this session and cried.  And I’m crying now as I write this.  Words can’t express how I admire the women who came to the session that day.  The way they were all there for each other.  The strength of C’s mom is indescribable.  He is so lucky to have you J.  Ladies, thank you for inviting me to capture such a momentous time in your lives.  It was an honor.
