Do you remember this gorgeous mama I photographed a few weeks back? Well I finally got to meet her sweet baby girl on Saturday. She tried to give me a run for my money, but I didn’t mind… it gave mom and I a chance to chat about marriage, and parenting, and the awful unfairness that is your body right after it’s done pretty much the most amazing thing in the world. Finally, at last… little Avery zonked out and we got to play.


Possibly one of my favorite sibling shots – actually I have a whole series of them – and I absolutely love them because I will never forget how sweet Ethan was as he marveled his new baby sister and said over and over “It’s okay, I’m right here…” I hope that bond stays forever. That long down the road when Avery has had her heart broken by some foolish boy, her brother will be her shoulder to cry in – an ear to listen that only siblings can provide, and in that moment I imagine that he might just wrap his arm around her and say “It’s okay, I’m right here”.

Kadi – seriously!!??!

…and lastly. I love this quote so much I can’t even stand it. It is so symbolic of every ounce of hope that a new child brings into this world.
