How could I not use a photo from Ella’s newborn session?  She is so new baby adorable!  I was in LOVE with her glorious head of hair!  Congratulations Mike & Sarah!

Today I got the great joy of photographing my long-time friend’s new baby girl.  Meet Madilyn Rhys.  She is just precious in every way!

Brad & Steph she is absolutely adorable.  I can’t express how happy I am for you both to experience the joys of parenthood!

Last week I was invited out to photograph little Olivia.  Now, Olivia is almost 2 months old, but she surprised her mommy & daddy by deciding to come earlier than expected.  She is just a petite, dainty little girl.  She has this beautiful complexion that reminds me of peaches & cream.  And I loved how, even at such a young age, she was already letting me know that we weren’t friends & I better back up out of her business!  Gotta love those feisty ones!

Welcome to the world Olivia!  I can already tell you are your mommy & daddy’s little princess.  (*Oh, and again, don’t forget to give Olivia some blog love via comments.  If she gets 20 she earns her parents an 8×10 – who says child labor is wrong??)

Yesterday I got to meet this little darling – Olivia.  I couldn’t help but sing the Olivia theme song when I met her, it’s just so catchy.  (You know, the cartoon & children’s books with the cute little piggy named Olivia???  Google it.)

Well, this was one tiny sleepy moment we got out of her.  I was excited to be able to try out my new blanket from Ikea.  I just loved the texture when I saw it in the store & it screamed “BABY” to me immediately.  It’s super huge, but stretchy and comfy.  I think it worked well!  More of Olivia to come later

My dearest childhood friend is having a baby!  Her first baby!  And a girl baby!  Aren’t you as excited as I am?!?!?!?!?  Well, you should be!

Her surprise baby shower was today and I sort of went.  I was supposed to be there at 3pm, but whatever I ate at 1pm didn’t agree with me, so I left my house almost 45 minutes later than I had hoped!  So, I arrived after the surprise (better than ruining it, right?) and got to witness a sea of baby shower cuteness!  The baby’s room is decorated in pink, green, and brown, so the hall was decorated in the same manor.  Now, being the lazy friend/photographer that I am, I forgot my camera, was late, and didn’t even wrap my Bumbo!  But, I showed up!

I snatched a few party favors for my girls & to take photographs of.  The cookies are onesies! Aren’t they stinkin’ cute!  And the gift boxes say Martha Stewart on the bottom.  Whoever coordinated & decorated this shower needs to start their own business!

I cannot wait to meet this little girl, Steph!  Been waiting for this day for a loooong time!

(*oh, and in case you were wondering, yes, that is a can of coke on my desk.  And yes, the walls in our new office/playroom are Slimer green – it used to be a kid’s room!)
