Blessings.

My heart weighs heavy this week and my mind is distracted.  I just recently have heard some sad news from two different friends of some trying times they’re each going through.  I am left feeling a bit helpless, and as a result have been in constant prayer over them.  I am thankful that their faith in God has been unwavering and even stronger through this difficult time.  I pray that He will continue to shower His abundant strength and blessings upon them.  It is times like these that make me hold on tight to my little ones and treasure every moment we are given.  It truly is a gift.

This little one is no exception to the rule.  She was quite the angel during our session…I could’ve stayed there all day capturing this beauty!   Her eyes were so captivating, I can tell she’s gonna be a heartbreaker!   You may be able to see the resemblence to Mom and Dad from our maternity session.

Thanks, E&S, for hanging in there with me…your gallery will be ready soon!

    These photos are simply stunning! I wish I had done something similar for my little girls. They are this tiny for like 5 seconds and then it is gone. What a beautiful celebration of a beautiful little girl! This almost makes me want to have another baby, jump on a plane and get Karen to take some photos of her. :) Congratulations Emily and Sid. I am so very happy for you. xx
