oh pretty girl…you are one now and as sweet as ever. i love that you share a birthday with my myles and i will always think of you on your special day. you have the most wonderful mommy and daddy…i am so happy that i get to watch you grow… thank you for showing me your sweet smile and beautiful curls.:) may you have many more happy birthdays to come…
that’s what wren is made of… you are a beautiful little love…i am happy that your family has a little girl to swoon over. i am sure they cannot stop looking at your sweet self because you are perfection. i sure had fun taking photos of you…what a wonderful family you have been welcomed into. your big brothers will protect you forever and ever…i love that. congratulations to you all…i cannot imagine looking at your family now without her. thank you summer and joe for letting me photograph your sweet princess in her first days of life.
what a gorgeous family this is…and, i loved spending the evening with them. ella, caleb and isaac, you were so so well behaved…just sweet joys to photograph. and, this was the most beautiful setting for our session…my dream outdoor studio.:) it was a lovely summer evening…warm, a small breeze and three sweet ones running in the field. love.
i vowed to myself this year i would be better about doing a few regular photography sessions with my own children. a real photography session, where i plan a special little spot to go, dress up and capture a few memories we will cherish forever and always. and, so this is the first of 2011…and, even though it was 100 degrees, we went, and played in a beautiful minnesota field. this is my dream spot for photos…so pretty, full of color and texture. timeless simplicity. i was worried the bugs might eat us alive, but it was even too hot for them to come out and play. ha!
and, finally the best part of the evening…our reward of ice cream at the lake. and, a little time in the lake too.
and, one final photo that i took recently of my little guys…
it is very hard for me to believe that our little love is already 4 weeks old. my eyes well up just thinking about it because he has already grown so much. sometimes, i wish that time could just stand still…because i just want him to stay teeny for just a bit longer. he is so tiny and perfect and innocent. i know that most of you understand this feeling exactly. i wish his teeny body would fit on my chest forever, all curled up in a little ball. i love snuggling with him…there is nothing like it. oh, how i love everything about this time…even with the lack in sleep, i love it.:) as you can see, i am very far behind in posting photos of myles…i have been cherishing this precious time with my family and adjusting to our new life of five. below are a few of the photos i have captured since myles was born.
myles henry :: 6 days old
myles henry :: 11 days old
my two older loves being silly:)
myles henry :: 21 days old
itty bitty baby myles :: myles henry one day old
my dear, dear friend gwen waite photographed our family not even a day after our myles was born. i am incredibly thankful to have these photos…i would have never had these moments captured otherwise. and, as much as we want to just remember, it is so easy to forget what that moment felt like and looked like because everything is such a whirlwind after a baby is born. precious, precious memories that i will cherish for a lifetime.
oh how i love this sweet little boy.:)
