I can’t even remember the circumstances under which I met Jacqui.  I vaguely think my mom was her teacher, or something?  Anyway, we know each other now, and that’s what matters.  When I heard that Jacqui & Kevin were going to be parents, I was so excited.  When they asked me to photograph this important moment in their lives, I was over the moon!

Hanging out with these two at Quiet Waters park was awesome.  We couldn’t have asked for a better day, a better location, and they have some of the most new parent-to-be lovieness that I’ve seen.   They didn’t need much direction from me to snuggle, laugh, embrace, kiss, & just love one another – because those things just seemed to flow naturally.

And it brings a little tear to my eye every time I see a dad-to-be like Kevin.  So in love with his girl, and so in love with the little girl waiting to be born.  I can’t wait to meet her, you two!  Enjoy your preview!

I warned my readers on my Facebook page: DO NOT READ THE BLOG UNLESS YOU WANT BABY FEVER.  So, if you get it, you’ve been warned!

This little peanut is Madilyn.  She was born during the same week as Megan.  You actually met her several weeks ago here, but she just hadn’t made her appearance yet then.

Well here she is, in all her sweetness…

Um, do you remember these two love birds back about a year ago?  Brian & Laura?  Well, they have an 8-month old nephew, Jimmy.  Melt. My. Heart.  He is the most adorable little guy I have met lately.  He’s so amiable even when we met for the first time.  He was all smiles & babbling & expressions like you wouldn’t believe!

His parents brought him down to Broadneck Park for a mini session this morning & I’m so glad they did!  He’s moving soon, so this will be the last I see of him for a while.  Don’t grow up too much, little Jimmy!

Enjoy his preview…

I think this was his face after a daddy long-leg spider just crossed the blanket.  Mom & Dad told me he wasn’t a fan of bugs!

Apparently if you put a baby boy in a “cage” he will eat his way to freedom!  Or he’s just teething…

I absolutely love it when I get to meet clients & see them through some wonderful life changes.  Like when a couple goes from this….

….to this!

I first met Mike & Rachel while shooting their engagement, and then again at their wedding.  And I was so thrilled when they asked me to come and meet little Silas!  What a sweet baby boy!  He’s a big guy, just like my oldest was, but I like ‘em that way!  I think he was just too interested to try to be shushed to sleep, but we did manage to get him to snooze a teeny bit.  Regardless, his expressions were just lovely.  And I’m happy to say I’ve gotten my baby fix…for now!  Thanks again for having me Rachel & Mike, and congratulations on becoming parents to a wonderful little man.

I can’t share much more of this post than this quick comparison shot.  Someone needs them kept secret until gifts are given…ya know what I mean?

I just had to look at the difference 6 months can make in the life of a child.  I cannot believe this little guy went from this….

… to this!

I love being able to document life!
