Sweet Caroline

So I've been out of the office for a couple of weeks for a very good reason ~ I have a new niece, Caroline!


My older sister Anne had her first child a little over a week ago (time flies!) and I was so lucky to get to go out to Birmingham for the anticipation, birth, and first few sweet days of her life!



Here are a few favorites from my time there ~ isn't she great?
















I'm sure she'll be making many return trips to this blog, so look out for more of this sweet little one again soon!

Newborn Baby Raegan

I told you the babies are in full bloom around here!


Shortly after Baby Cole’s arrival, Baby Raegan decided to make her debut!

Luckily, we were able to squeeze in some pre-Raegan pictures of her mom Courtney just barely before her arrival:


I love simple classic maternity photos that focus on the awesome lines and shapes that are unique to pregnancy!



And here she is! Baby Raegan!



Little Angel:


A sweet family of three:


I love this shot that Adam got of me holding her.


Hmmm . . . who do you think she looks like?


And my favorite shot of their hospital session – so happy together!


Welcome to our world, Raegan! We’re so excited that you are here!

Newborn Baby Cole

Whew - can you tell that life's been busy? Blogging lulls typically mean that I am slammed as is the case now! But the good news is that there's lots of fun stuff to share with you over the next couple of weeks!

I heard a statistic over the weekend that more babies are born per capita in Southern California than anywhere else in the country and considering the past couple of weeks - I believe it!

We got to help welcome Baby Cole a couple of weeks ago!


He surprised us all by showing up 5 weeks early but amazingly was still almost 6 pounds!


Babies are always such incredible miracles, and especially this little one. I love getting to capture a few hospital moments during the first couple of days - such a special time! With his Mom and Grammy:



And to top the afternoon off - I got to hold him! I LOVE babies!


Congratulations and welcome Baby Cole!!
