Eensy Weensy Tease...

My first older girl model...

Last one of this bunch. Maybe :)

As promised...

It's not a basketball, I swear. More coming tomorrow!

4 years... I can hardly believe it...

I'm not a writer.. and I can't put into words what the last four years have been. Only a few months into our marriage, Tom and I found out we were expecting. The situation was.. complex, not blog-able, joyful but difficult in many ways.

Everyone (and I do mean EVERYONE) says it goes by in a whirlwind, and it's so true. I really cannot believe that the little baby I was just holding in my arms is now 4 years old. She plays with a real tea set, is learning to read, loves art and can make her own bed. Where did the time go... Happy Birthday little bean, I sure do love you.

(P.S. I know this is on my photog blog, but these are definitely snapshots.. just taking pictures as life happens! Noisy, bad light, I know I know. No cc necessary!)

3 days old...

Let me tell you one thing: for a mom who's not looking to have another one anytime soon, this is a DANGEROUS job! Even though this precious little one refused to sleep a wink while I was photographing her, once I was done she slept peacefully in my arms.. and I was pretty sure that's what heaven will be like! More to come from this one, I can promise you that :)

Tower Hill Botanical Gardens

Noon= not the perfect time to shoot, ever :) Still, I loved all the shots I got with this cherubim. Margot was very smitten, even giving him kisses and playing "got your nose!"


Under a gazebo, taken with a reflector. I love the light on her face, not so wild about the expression. I begged for a cute smile, swear.

Someday I swear I will figure out how to make color look as amazing on blogger as it does in PS! These gardens are GORGEOUS. My first thought: someday I will shoot a wedding here :)

One more...
