Little Ms. Norah

Lil Blessings...

I'm traveling right now and on my laptop but for those who wonder why I never update my blog I HAD to post this one. I've done a lot of newborns lately and really have been loving it. It's just so fun to be able to hang out and get to know people b/c these shoots always end up taking 2+ hours, but more than that it's just amazing for me to be able to document the first few days of life for these little bundles. I SO WISH I had newborn images of my boys. Believe it or not, I didn't really know what i was doing at that point (with a camera...or babies ;). My indecisiveness about having a 3rd baby always gets a knock in the positive direction when I think about how many beautiful newborn images I'd have.....probably not the best reason to have a 3rd baby :)

This newborn shoot was so very special to me. I've been friends with Ella's daddy since I was 14...and while i'm not a blood relative to this couple I feel so connected to them and to their new little gal. I get such a high watching parents with their first baby....the world is so rosy knowing this little person is going to be with you forever. For me, that high allows even my worst memories of parenting and caring for infants to subside and I can truly feed off of that new happiness. And then someone poops on me and i'm over it :) Seriously though, there is nothing like a newborn. Love you guys :)

This was a good session, mainly b/c I'm friends with the mom, which allowed a very laid back shoot...I was there for a good 4 hours :) But how gorgeous is this? First of all, I fell in love with this piece of art so I had to shoot the little man near it, secondly this couple is crazy musical, hence the piano, and lastly little 'A' allowed us to do it - and he wasn't a newbie that liked being messed with so I got lucky on this one.....love this, I really think I'm going to be a big gallery wrap of this for my space, then I can have this piece of art too!! I'm tricky like that ;)
