You know how sometimes when you meet someone through someone else, you know why your mutual acquaintance is so crazy about them?  So it was with this mama.  We have a mutual friend, someone I’ve known and adored since she was young (she was my baby sister’s first babysitter) and then she grew into an adult who, in a word, rocks.  So when she gave this mama a gift certificate for a session and gushed about how amazing she was, when I met her, I knew what the hype was about.  She and her husband are darling, sweet wonderful parents to this little sweet peanut.  I am often in awe of how graceful and calm the new mamas I encounter in this job are, as I was frantic, harried and neurotic.  None of that here – she and her sweet husband were giggly, blissful and calm.
