Happy Easter from Little Baby Nicholas

I think one of my favorite things in the world is getting a text from a new mom announcing that her little one has made its way into the world. I was overjoyed to have photographed Kristin and her family of 3 a few weeks back (see here), and knowing that Elizabeth was hoping for a baby brother I was ecstatic to receive the text that little Nicholas had finally come… all 7lbs 11oz of him! I’ve never had a more perfect client, or a newborn smile long enough for me to catch it on camera… let alone be good enough for us to make him our Easter bunny for the day! I can’t wait to see this family learn and grow together, and for Elizabeth to start touting around her baby brother like the perfect accessory he is.

Get [Together]: The McIntyre’s

It’s amazing how life comes full circle… 8 years ago I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer and was introduced to Dr. Kristin Wagner (now McIntyre). She was probably my favorite part of going through that journey (can you have a favorite part of walking through cancer?), and surprisingly I missed seeing her face after the ordeal was over. After I had Ian, my OB wanted me to go back to Dr. Wagner just to ensure everything with my thyroid was still fine… which it was. However, during the visit we had the opportunity to talk about our life changes… me, now with a kid… and her, very obviously pregnant. When I mentioned I was no longer working for Starbucks and doing photography full time, she asked if I photographed families and I immediately said “Yes!” About 2 weeks later I got a text message, we set up the session and voila… magic.

To see Kristin interact and love on Elizabeth just warmed my heart… there is no love like a mother and daughter have. I caught myself smiling through the editing process, and while I may have gone black and white overboard I don’t think the timelessness of the moments would have allowed me to do anything less. I was thrilled when her husband, Larry, was able to join us for the last part of the session so I could meet the family of three before the final chapter is added later on this week. I’m thankful that Dr. Wagner isn’t fully removed from my life, but that our relationship has just taken a new bend. Enjoy!

Sweet Baby Stella

Being pregnant is such a great season… all of this expectation and build up… and then she’s here. This tiny, sweet little girl, and she’s all yours. Sometimes the realization that your a parent doesn’t really hit you right away, but the more you realize that this little life is solely dependent on you it begins to sink in.

Throughout the years Jo and I have developed a friendship, and when it started getting close to her due date we were texting often and keeping each other updated… Mainly because Ian and Stella are destined for each other, but that’s neither here nor there. I literally couldn’t wait to come to the hospital and hold this precious little girl, and photograph her sweet little face. Hope you enjoy!
