Such a sweet little jellybean! So sleepy and calm. She is the perfect image of new life on this Easter morning!

Have you ever met someone and felt immediately like you were part of the family? It’s got to be the best feeling ever. Oh the love! 🙂 This past weekend I got to meet up again with an amazing family…it was hard to imagine that 2 years had passed since I photographed Numero Uno. And I have to say, Little Brother is the perfect addition to the sweet family. Of course, some of my favorite captures from our evening were completely unscripted…like discovering the ladybugs in our field, and finding that the grass really does taste good. (Mister S, you really are something else!) While I have an epic blog post planned, here is just one of my favorites.

The beauty of a newborn babe…made perfect in the arms of adoring parents.

…and pictures simply had to be made. Reality is beautiful…if not a little mismatched. 







Flushed cheeks. Messy hair. Warm hands. Sweet smile. How many times have you held your baby just after a nap? Hundreds. Maybe thousands. Yet you wish it could be millions. The squishy hugs. The tiny sighs. Those are the treasures of a parent. If only you could bottle up those precious memories and re-live them every day…for the rest of your life…
