baby asher.

we had an amazing session for a few reasons. mostly, because he is so PERFECT! i could've photographed him all day and been the happiest girl in the world. AND, because his mama went into labor the DAY AFTER we photographed her belly. holy moly, did we get lucky? 

 

serenity

you know how much i love baby bellies, and this is one mama that is just radiant.

she is over the moon thrilled about this baby boy, due in september. she wanted one serene portrait to document her pregnancy and i think we made it happen, a few times!

enjoy.

can't stop staring

what makes a powerful photograph? they're almost indescribable with words.

take a look at this list of 40 of The Most Powerful Photographs Ever Taken. each moment is real and true. each image tells a lengthy story within one frame. each image evokes emotion. it takes you back to the moment it happened as if you were there. each image makes my eyes wander all over it until i feel it and understand it's story.

enjoy.

the best gift ever

ever thought of doing pregnancy announcements? maybe something more than just the jar of prego sauce in the kitchen?

i have! for a long time, actually. when laura said she was expecting i was over the moon, because WOW, just look at her. then she told me her due date...

i'm still giddy, and the fun has just begun....
