Sometimes I am not entirely sure Owen gets what I do. I mean I know he gets it, but he doesn’t always GET it. Like he is a little foggy on why I race home from a session, upload and then just STARE at the images, transfixed. He is not always clear on why I obsessed with looking into a child’s eyes, magnified to 100%, taking over 12″ of my screen. And sometimes he’s not sure why I make him look at how I tried to capture a connection between two people. I don’t mean it in a bad way, he’s just not into it like I am. And on the occasions where I have given one of his friends a gift certificate to me, he’s sort of thought “but do they want that?” Again, not in a bad way…. just not sure. However, one day he came home and he said “You know my friend Malcolm that I have told you about? They guy that likes photography like you do? He’s having a baby and we could give them one of your newborn sessions!” I was beyond elated. Elated that someone was having a baby, elated he thought of me as a gift he could give! Yay! Success!
I finally got to meet this new baby and she (and her parents) are lovely. She is very little, which of course I am familiar with as Janes is still such a peanut. And she is still very new, at three weeks. And she loves to be swaddled and snuggled up tight and held by her awesome parents. And she is very much a beautiful gift to two very kind, gracious and deserving people. I truly enjoy the time I get to spend with new parents. I love watching them as they figure it out together, as women instantly become mothers, knowing what to do even if they don’t know what to do… and dad’s take over just at the right time and fall in love with their little babies. It gives me immense pleasure to watch this, and to document it.
Malcolm and Lauren, thank you so much for a lovely morning. You are truly blessed.
Sweet little baby burrito. You have definitely found a way to capture that connection you mentioned. Awesome work.

Awwww, what a sweetheart. I love that sleeping-bubble — and all that gorgeous hair! Looks like you’ve captured her perfectly.
What a great session! I love all of the pink as a mom of two girls myself. I adore the interaction you captured too! My hubby is the same way…its tough to get him on board with my passion. But I can’t say I feel ‘passionate’ about fish…other than eating it.
just beautiful!!! What lovely images!!

What a beautiful child. You are truly blessed. Congradulations!
