love at first sight {personal}

hello friends! just wanted to make a quick personal post to introduce you to someone new and very special - our daughter Djuna Beatrix. she was born in our home on April 17, 2014 at 2:27pm, weighing 8 lbs 13 oz, 20.5 inches long. we are both healthy and so happy!

these first precious days with her have been so amazing and filled with love and support from our family and friends.

i am resting for a couple weeks but already thinking of this upcoming wedding season with excitement. check back for some of my 2014 couples' engagement sessions soon!

it goes without saying that there will be lots of photographs of this child [but they will mostly be on my tumblr]. here is one to start. much love!

I have babysat for these kids off and on for about 8 years now - since the youngest was still in diapers! It's been so fun to watch them grow. I've taken a few photographs of them over the years, but this was our first scheduled photo shoot. Their mamas wanted some pictures of the kids together, and their exuberant and sweet natures just shine through the portraits.
