For baby E and his parents who shared a quiet morning with me in their new home. Even though my girls are out of this stage now, it still tugs at my heart to be around a little one at this age. Discovering their hands and feet, taking delight in music and books, nothing but smiles for mom and dad, babbling and quiet cuddles. It's just so darn cute and it goes by way too quickly.
Alyssa is the reason I started an Instagram feed for my photography clients. We were at a wedding last year and she was like "how can you not have a IG feed for your business?!?!". I've used instagram forever, but I love it for chronologically organizing iPhone photos of my everyday life [Side note: this is what IG was originally intended for. However I feel I might be one of the last photographers out there who still posts tacky, sometimes rather crappy (albeit funny) photos from their phone]. Anyways, I've slowly been posting photos of my clients on a separate feed and Alyssa is usually one of the first to like them (thank you!!) and it has been a really nice way to share some of my favourites :)
Alyssa's baby is due very soon and I was super pumped to spend time with her in her friend's awesome loft. He let us hang out there while he was at work, but forgot to mention the 14-foot dead Christmas tree hanging out in the middle of the room. I've had to move many things out of the way during a session in my time, but a large tree skeleton was a new one for me! Luckily it's no problem for me to have pine needles stuck in my hair – it compliments the frazzled mom look I already have going on.
Alyssa and Justin, I'm excited to meet your little guy very soon!
