My girlfriend Meredith is one of the strongest women I know!  She has an amazing heart, beautiful soul and she is made of iron will!

She completely amazes me and I’m so thankful to call her a friend!  The other day, she and adorable little Stella came over for a play date and a quick little valentines day photo session.  Valentines is Meredith’s favorite holiday and she has so much to celebrate right now… a beautiful beginning to her life, an incredibly sweet and stunning baby girl and a wonderful freedom!

We wanted to just capture a few moments of this time for her!  A few moments on her favorite holiday with her favorite girl so that she can remember this pivotal point in their story!

My philosophy as a photographer has always been that  our moments tell our story!  The moments help us to remember our journey, they tell the world how far we’ve come and how exciting it is to be heading in the direction we are going!  Photography is away to keep these tender moments, these adventurous moments, these exciting and wonderfully scary/beautiful moments close to heart forever!  They allow us to share ourselves with the people we treasure!

I hope, my dear Meredith.. that I was able to capture just that for you!  I hope, in our small photo session, that you are able to see the beautiful story you are creating for yourself and for your family!  I hope that you see how amazing of a mother you are, how incredibly strong you are, and how breathtaking beautiful you are!

You are just starting on this adventure… an adventure that I know will bring you so many exciting things!

You are incredible!  Don’t ever forget it!

Newborn sessions are incredibly important!  At least, I think so!

This time is so short and these little ones grow and change so much every day!  Gosh, sometimes it felt like Linc changed hour to hour that first week or two~

That’s why it’s a big deal when I am lucky enough to shoot a newborn session that I want them as new as possible, so  I can capture them right as they are when they come into the world!  It’s also why it’s extremely important for me to have a super fast turn around for my clients and get them their images ASAP!

Little G came and visited when she was less than 14 days brand new!  She was the BEST model I’ve ever worked with (maybe a close tie with her parents!)

She was beautiful and snuggly and just the perfect little angel!  I think she has the best of both of her parents… beautiful and peaceful like her momma… yet funny and sweet like her daddy!

I felt beyond blessed that I was able to meet her and capture some images of how beautifully serene and angelic she is!

We shot this session a while back and I can’t believe I haven’t blogged it yet!  I was too excited and if you follow me on FB, you’ve seen this little beauty!

Here are some of my favorites from our quiet little session!

Thank you so much Vince and Krystin for trusting me and allowing me to be a part of such an exciting and amazing time in your lives!

Little G is fantastically blessed and lucky to have such truly compassionate and loving parents!  She has the best of ALL worlds.. parents that are beautiful inside and out!  Two parents that are kind and peaceful, loving and care free!  Parents that will bring adventure and wonder to her beautiful soul!

I feel like I should have gone out to the farm that’s 2 miles down the road and taken a picture of horse and saddle for this blog post opener!

Maybe not a horse and saddle because that would be waay to obvious… maybe something more artsy!

Needless to say it’s been a while gang!

Linc and I have been adjusting to our new schedule and while I would love to blame it all on the craziness we’ve had;  the truth is this absence has been much more about a lack of inspiration and motivation.

I consider this space to be my creative outlet!  It’s my place where I can write and express how I see the world.  It’s my place where I can share the lives and stories of the incredible and amazing people that trust me to capture them and their lives.

Lately though… Linc and I have been huddled in our house, tucked away (haha that’s funny to me!) in our own little world!  Bedtimes have been coming sooner than later and my personal time to shoot, write and create have been few and far in between!

My last post I wrote about wanting to give away a mommy and me session, and I can honestly say that these sessions are now extremely near and dear to my heart, more than ever now!

Since I was such a crazy slacker, I decided to not randomly select from the entries that I had.  I received such beautiful and heartfelt e mails describing these amazing moms and just fantastic women, that I feel like the only way to do this right would be to give a session away to ALL my entries!

So be checking your e mails friends!!!  I will e mail you details and we can start chatting about your sessions!

In the meantime, I’m going to get myself back into the groove of things!  Little man and I have been keeping to ourselves for far too long and I need to step it up and get out a bit!

If you follow me on FB you’ve seen that Linc and I have done a few sessions ourselves but here is what our home body life has looked like!  (Giving you a fair heads up that it’s all Linc spam after this today!)
