This sweet little peanut just couldn’t wait to celebrate the holidays and ring in the new year with her parents. So, she decided to make her appearance a few weeks early. Her parents were thrilled to make her acquaintance and set about snuggling her right up! And, how could you not? She is just as sweet as can be. This little lady didn’t get her mom’s beautiful hair color, but it seems like she got her pretty blue eyes. And she did get gorgeous, dark hair that will look stunning with those blue eyes – which might be the same color as her cousin X, a regular on this blog. Mr. X baby’s mama and Ms. Sugar and Spice are brother and sister, and I’m sure that these cousins will be having a blast together in no time at all.

And, true to form, I left something behind (my cell phone) as I do at nearly every session I have, and Mama F was kind enough to chase me down with it. Plus, Daddy F carried in nearly all my gear since I couldn’t fit down their street in my car. (He says they have a special, small trash truck for their street. How cool is that?)

F Family, it was my pleasure to meet you all this morning. I hope you will enjoy your sneak peek and I can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos of your sugar girl.

One of my favorite songs about the love that a parent has for their child is “Love Of My Life” by Carly Simon. She sings, “From the moment I first saw you, the second that you were born, I knew that you were the love of my life, quite simply, the love of my life.” How true this is for a parent; the moment that you see your child, the love that you feel for them is overwhelming and stronger than anything you’ve ever known in your life. I rarely hear this song without tearing up, and I bet that if you have a child or are readying to have one and hear it, you will too.

I know that this little love’s mama and daddy feel the same way about her because we discussed it – how it’s instantaneous and overwhelming and amazing how quickly and powerfully the love for your child grips you. And, truly, how perfect is this little girl? She was beyond darling to spend the day with. She came to me asleep and rarely woke, except when it was absolutely necessary. She loved the heat – it was so cute to watch her whole body relax when she got warm. Honestly, I thought about her photos the whole time I was on vacation and couldn’t wait to get back to write this blog post so that her parents could see some of the photos from that day. T Family, I can’t wait to have all of them ready for you! Enjoy the peek.

PS – The awesome hat shown herein is sadly not mine. Mama T has very good taste in hats, though, doesn’t she?

I had the pleasure of spending Saturday morning with the R Family. I love when you meet someone and you can kind of talk to them like you’ve known them forever. Both Mom and Dad R were that kind of person; easygoing, funny and sweet. It doesn’t hurt that Mama R is a fellow Penn Stater – we’re always cool. Daddy R won my heart immediately with his love not only for his new baby but for their incredible dog Delilah. I sincerely wanted to bring her home. (The shame of it all is that I got not one photo of that gorgeous white and gray girl. I’m still mad at myself for that!) But, I was there for a reason, you know – to photograph their 11 day old little sweet boy. He wasn’t loving all of the interrupting of his sleep I was doing and all of the moving him around, but in the end, he allowed me to make his parents happy by capturing some amazingly adorable moments with their little man.

Mama and Daddy R, it was great to meet you guys! Enjoy the photos and I’ll have more for you soon!

I wanted to do the B Family justice, so here goes with a real blog post. I met Mama B at an art and craft fair on Passyunk Avenue. I had a table next to hers. She makes these awesome smelling soy lotion candles, which can be had at her website www.evanandearth.com, btw. Anyway, as we are both chatters, we started talking (Daddy B was there too, and wasn’t shy with the talk either. Love it!) Mama B was very pregnant, and it was quite hot. She was a trooper, though. I think she complained less than I did. We exchanged business cards, and, I got an email from her shortly before she was to deliver. Only, I was going on vacation and couldn’t do it. But Mama B is so sweet, with her pretty southern accent and charm. How could I say no? But, that meant I didn’t get to edit their photos for a sneak peek as quickly as I wanted to. They were so gracious, though. Even when I ran into them later on in Target, they shook their heads understandingly when I told them it would just be a few more days. Big Brother even squealed with a little excitement when he saw me, sweet boy! Patient B family, here is the rest of your sneak peek.

Just one for now of the darling second son of the B Family. I have been on vacation until today and the B Family has been incredibly patient waiting for their sneak peek. I wanted to edit at least one for you guys to see when I got home tonight! More to come, soon. And, you, dear readers, will hear the story of how I met the B Family and of the very cool, earth friendly and good smelling product made by the company owned by Mama B. Full story at 11. Oh wait, it’s after 11. Let me just show you the cute baby instead.
