Yesterday my dear friend Stephanie came by with her new little girl, Madi.  They came for a playdate, and while Madi didn’t really “play” too much, I think Emma & Brooke loved her!  Thanks for coming over Madi girl!  We can’t wait til you can chase us around!

*PS – hasn’t Madi grown in 7 short weeks!?!?!

I have been friends with Stephanie for a really long time.  I think since I was 13 or so?  Regardless of that fact, she has been a constant in my life like no other friend, and I love her for that.  And as she’s come to significant moments in her life, I’ve tried my best to be there: wedding, baby shower, and now baby Madilyn!  I was so excited to get to visit with her & just enjoy time with she, Madi, & daddy Brad.  They are such a fit – the three of them like puzzle pieces that are perfect for one another.  My heart is warmed seeing this new precious baby added to their lives.  Thanks Brad & Steph for letting me take part of your day & enjoy your new daughter.  I can’t wait to watch her grow!

Oh, and let’s have a little voting for some fun!  Vote for the photo you think would be perfect for a baby announcement.  That’s always my most difficult dilemma, which photo do I choose?  Leave your vote in the comments.  Thanks!

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!)

Today I had the pleasure of shooting another senior session with three super “fierce” girls – Steph, Alison, & Grace. We had a blast downtown in Annapolis and they were so cooperative and fun! We galavanted through the streets, stood in front of people’s doorways for the perfect shot, and went on and endless search for a tree to hug. Thanks girls for taking me on an adventure. Check my site soon for the entire set of their pictures.
