One Week

Lula is one week old today. It's unbelievable how much she's changed already! We had a brief visit yesterday. She squirmed around a little bit, inspected my face as I held her, and mostly just napped. I spent some time starting at her, being fascinated by the purity of this new little person I held in my arms. Simply amazing. Here she is looking adorable and oh-so-sleepy!

Kaitlin & Stephen

When I think back to Stephen and Katilin's wedding the first thing that comes to mind is the image of them teasing each other and having a good laugh together. On a day that can stress many brides and grooms, Kaitlin and Stephen approached the day lighthearted and full of spunk. It was a joy to work with them and to spend the day shooting such a carefree couple. I couldn't help but feel a little bit lighter in their presence. I think the pictures say it all.

Many thanks to Kaitlin and Stephen for reminding me how much fun love should be and to the Guenette and Gionta families for sharing such a special day with us!

Also a huge thank you to the super talented Tomas Flint for continuing to inspire and motivate me. Swing by his blog to see more of his perspective.

Farwell...until the next time blog watchers...

Welcome to the World Lula!

Little Lula made her grand entrance, finally! She kept us waiting, arriving over a week late, but she was well worth the wait. Aside from her shriveled feet (from staying in the "oven" too long) she is beautiful from head to toe. The doctor said she's perfect. I snapped picture after picture but spent so much time at the hospital I've only pulled a few of my favorites of Lula's first 12 hours. I'll be sure to get more up asap so all of you out of towner's can get a good look at her.

Congratulations to Mike and Ali on the birth of their amazing little girl and best wishes for days filled with laughter and nights filled with good rest (you're gonna need it!)
love you all!

Ella

Ella is teeny tiny and absolutely adorable. At 3 months old she's quiet and sweet. She's the kind of baby that makes you think having a newborn is easy work. During our session she barely made a peep. Mostly she spent her time staring in awe at the camera. From the looks she kept giving me I'm pretty sure she was wondering what the heck that big thing was that I kept pointing at her! When she wasn't looking at me with her quizzical face, I caught her being her cute self.

Thanks so much to little Ella and her parents for welcoming me into your home and letting me share a little bit of your new joy with you!
