This is Aislinn (pronounced Ash-lin). She is one of my First Year Collection babies. I have been photographing her since she still inside Mom's belly.

Little Aislinn just started preschool this past week so I know Pam (her Mom) has been worrying about her. Everyone who has had to drop a child off at a new day care, school or babysitter knows how hard the initial adjustment (crying) can be. They look at you like you're never coming back. It's rough! So hopefully seeing little Aislinn's smiling face will help you get through the afternoon Pam! And for everyone else, how can you not love this sweet, sweet face. She's like a little doll.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

and this one has to be my favorite!

It gets better!

and even better!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Here are two images that I shot over the past 2 weeks that I just love. The first is from a maternity session. I had photographed this family about a year or so ago and now here they are...3 soon to be 4. This little guy is about to become a big brother to a little girl!

This little peanut came to see me last week. I say he came to see me but he never really woke up while he was there so I don't think he ever really saw me. He made an impression on me though! Look how sweet he is, smiling in his sleep no less! He was so tiny and so comfy all nestled up next to his Daddy. I photographed his parents for a maternity portrait a few weeks before he was born. It's always such a cool thing to have a couple come back in and share their new baby with me for an hour or so. I remember so well what it was like to be a new parent. It's an exciting, scary, frustrating, sleep deprived, explosion of love. Your former life just goes out the window - powerless against this 7 pound little human.

This whole parenthood thing is pretty amazing isn't it? I still can't believe that my first just had his first day of first grade! Like everyone says, it seems like only yesterday...
