Introducing Caroline Elizabeth

Well I photographed the family of four weeks before Caroline arrived and when the call came that she was here I started planning my vision for our newborn shoot. I have become friends with this mom and enjoy spending time with her. When I arrived and saw Caroline, I spent the first hour just talking mommy talk, birth story, breastfeeding, and all the stuff that comes with a newborn baby. I got to hold her awhile and I thought it might stir up the emotions I carry deep inside of not getting the girl and this being the last pregnancy as well. It stirred up emotions for me but good ones, ones that made me long to meet this little guy whose has been growing in my body for months now. I enjoyed taking her pictures solo and with her beautiful mom. Sweet Caroline you stole everyone's heart and completed this family of now 5.

Sarah Paige Seven Months

Boy is it hot. I have lived here eight years now and nothing can prepare you for the breath taking heat that sets in this time every year. We forget and somehow hope it just might not be that bad next summer, and it always is. Anyway... not the best weather for family photos 0utdoors unless its at 6:30 0r 7AM however the little ones don't seem to mind. The beautiful flowers and green foilage looks so great this time of year why not? Sarah Paige loved the rocks, trees, flowers, and water. She loved looking and listening to the water as her mom and I sang songs, blew bubbles, and wiped sweat from our foreheads trying to get the biggest smiles. We captured a few and enjoyed our morning together. I am just glad her first birthday shoot will be much cooler!
