My BFF Johna has a little girl – *M* – who I just love!!!

We try to get together at least every two weeks – and this time I took my camera!

I mean seriously – look at that face!!

Giving me her mad face!

And her happy face!

I cannot wait for her and Fitzy to become friends!

Sam & Kristin have two beautiful boys at home and welcomed a baby girl in mid-February!

Sam is part of the *V* family that I have photographed on several different occasions! I love this family!

I visited Kristin in the hospital the day *E* was born!

She is so precious!

Look at that little smile!

I love that last photo – such a special moment! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture these few frames for you!

Once Kristin had been home for a few weeks – we set up her newborn session!

We had to get some shots of their family first!

Dadda and his girl!

I know that picture on the left is blurry – but I just LOVE it!

Their oldest – *B* – he is such a sweet little guy!

Their little guy – *I* – he cuddled right up with me!

How sweet is she!

SO SWEET!

She DID NOT like the tutu – but I couldn’t resist with this picture!

Thank you again Sam & Kristin! I cannot wait for our babies to grow up together!

SWEET BABY *C*

Filed under: babes,expecting,friends,just because — admin at 9:01 am on Friday, February 25, 2011

I have known Belinda since 8th grade – where we met at church! We both went to Mansfield University and share a close friend – Jessica! Jessica was a bridesmaid in my wedding and Belinda’s! Belinda and I were both in Jessica’s wedding!

Belinda & Nate were the third wedding that I photographed! I took their engagement photos long before I even thought about starting a photography business!

They have gone through so much heartache in their dream to have a child – we have cried together and prayed together.

Now we are rejoicing together!

*C* was born on January 27th and I just had to get over to the hospital to see them the next day! I could hardly keep it together walking in that room – so much emotion!

Knowing that Belinda and Nate have been waiting years for this moment – and now it’s here – was just too much to take!

Little *C* is about 30 hours old in these photos!

The first thing I said when I walked in the room and saw him was – HE IS SO FAT! This is an instance where I don’t think before I speak – it happens more often than not! But you see – the thing is – I LOVE LOVE LOVE chubby babies! The fatter the better – and he is just so chubby!!

103

HOW AMAZING AND PRECIOUS IS HE!

I added the watercolor effect to this one! He is just so precious – I can’t get enough!

Belinda & Nate – thanks so much for letting me come over and snap some photos of him – and share in your joy! We are SO happy for both of you!

BABY *J*

I met James during one of the best summers of my life – the summer of 2000! It was filled with drive-ins, mini-golf, video games, late LATE nights, and so many memories!

James and Laura were also the second wedding I ever shot – and now I am photographing their little miracle!

Trudy was my RA when I was at Philadelphia University – for one semester! We have stayed friends – she was in my wedding!

We used to see each other once a year – but as time has gone on – it’s been every two years. This time it was her turn to come see me!
