It’s a new year, and a lot has changed for our family since the beginning of 2012. We’ve all grown a little older, and little wiser and our family has grown by one as well. I’m thankful I was able to capture so many precious images in 2012, despite the challenges of a busy life, messy house, dirty faces… And so in 2013 I will continue with this tradition. I’m excited to document our family again, alongside some incredibly talented women who feel the same way I do about capturing images with MUMMA in them!

This month I’m sharing a little sweetness- photographed not by myself but by the incredibly talented Stephanie Robin Photography. She photographed myself and Greg with Zion when she was just 7 days old. I can’t put into words what these images mean to me. I had to wipe away tears as she set us up in this pose below and when I saw the images I couldn’t help myself from getting teary all over again. She did such an incredible job and I can’t wait to print these big! Thank you Stephanie, for this priceless gift you have given me!

It was so cool to be on the other side of the lens as well- helping me to understand just how a mother feels when she brings her new child to my studio and watches them being photographed. I think as a photographer, it’s always important to remember just how stressful/fun/exciting/nerve-wracking/terrifying/beautiful a session can be for my clients. I have a few maternity and newborn sessions booked for this spring already and I’m looking forward to building on their experience with my own!
