This family waited a long, long time for their photo session! I think the original date John and his family had set up was way back in the first week of March! I jokingly told John that when I wanted to know it was going to rain I’d give him a call because every single date he picked from the beginning of March until May 8th – it rained.
But finally we had a gorgeous day. Little Zach shares the exact same birthday with my Charley – it was so much fun to interact with him and his adorable little sister. She made my job so easy – she was full of smiles!
John and Liz – thanks so much for hanging in there and rescheduling! I am sure you will love the end result. Enjoy your sneak peek!!
The sun came out and it was a beautiful day - there was a little bit of wind to contend with down by the water, but it didn't stop us from getting some amazing shots of this beautiful girl (who you may remember from last year) and her family.
I love to try out new locations and the Bush River Yacht Club turned out to be perfect! Katie and Chris thanks so much for trying somewhere new (and for all of your patience and understanding too!). I say it all the time, but I am so lucky to have such awesome clients!!
Kyleigh - I hope the Easter Bunny brought you your silly putty!!
I have had two babies and have no clue what 'going into labor' is like - both of my girls had to be coaxed to come out and meet us.
Not everything happens like it does in the movies, that is for sure. There was no "I'm in labor!!" wake up call in the middle of the night to my husband - who then hurriedly rushed around the house to get everything together and rush me to the hospital running every light and speeding the whole way. Nope. Nada.
It was totally the opposite - there was a lot of waiting and waiting...
Waiting as I hit 40 weeks with no sign of anything happening, waiting while my due date past, waiting as they gave me medicine to induce, waiting for everything to happen...just wait, wait and wait some more.
Then there are always the people who ask you when you are due, to which you respond "three days ago" and you get the weird looks. Not fun. Not fun is the fact that you are only supposed to be pregnant for 40 weeks, not 41. Not fun are all of the phone calls and emails "is the baby here yet??" to which after about 3 days and multiple phone calls and emails I began to answer "Yes she is! oh, you mean Jimmy forgot to call you??"
So when I am on call to set up appointments for newborn photos off of the baby's due date - I am always hesitant to email the Moms when it is a few days past their due date and I haven't heard from them yet. As I know exactly how they feel.
This little sweetheart was one of those cases - I totally sympathize. She is perfect in every way and just wanted to wait for the right time. Not too big, not too small, just right. And adorable.
Nina and Rich - thank you so much for allowing me to capture your adorable little girl. She was an amazing subject - she loved my swaddle which always makes me happy :) I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
