Me & Mine | 4/12 {Niagara Newborn Photographer}

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Wednesday mornings is storytime at the library. A whirlwind of reading, singing, crafts, shushing, chatting, chasing and shushing some more. I leave and wonder why on earth I do this to myself, and by the following Wednesday I’ve forgotten so well that I go back again. Because all I can really remember is the smiles on their faces, their sweet giggles, their hugs when we get home and the chorus of ‘You’re the best mumma EVER”.

I’m so thankful I threw my camera in my bag this week and I’m more thankful for my dear friend Steff for taking these. XO

 

Please head on over to check out Jules Trandem | San Diego Family Photographer. She’s an absolutely AMAZING photographer (who did a session for Greg and I 1.5 years ago!).

Kailee - Part Two | Full of Life {Maternity Photography}

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

I had a wonderful time photographing Liam and Kailee’s beach maternity session in Perth, Australia. I look at these images, at the two of them overflowing with love, wrapped in light, drenched by the sun - and I just feel so happy. Happy that I could be a small part in this moment in time. I’m so honored to have been able to document this for you Liam and Kailee… and thank you once more for your hospitality while we visited. I hope in some small way this repays my debt to you. I’m praying for you every day as you await your baby girl and send my love all three of you.

(yes, I’m oversharing, but I couldn’t narrow these down any farther! see Part One of their session here)

Beautiful black and white maternity portraits backlighting
