I love that Fitzy really got into Easter this year! He loved asking questions about Jesus and hearing about what Jesus did and does for us!

Jared’s parents hold an egg hunt for them and they had a GREAT time! I took some cell phone shots – but didn’t get my camera out for that one!

We planned on going to an egg hunt with my parents at their church but Fitzy didn’t like the idea of running around a field picking up random eggs – he wanted them hidden!

So we stayed home and invited the cousins over for a REAL egg HUNT!

Cute guys!!

We had a GREAT Easter celebrating Jesus and family and little egg hunts!

They are awesome people and FANTASTIC parents!

Their little guy *C* celebrated his FIRST birthday earlier this year!

He wasn’t too interested in the cake!

I took a few maternity pictures for Sierra – and her birth photos – I absolutely HAD to take just a few newborn photos.

Just a few.

That little cutie – he’s a couple months older than my Enoch – just ADORABLE!

OH MY HEART!

I mean – really. Seriously. Absolutely priceless.

I can’t even – the sweetness.

I just adore those shots!

Sierra – thank you – it’s been awesome to walk these last moments of pregnancy and first moments of life with you!

You’ve given me such a gift dear friend!

BIRTH

My friend Sierra asked if I would capture the birth of their 4th child – their 1st girl!

I was so honored and excited! She was due mid-January and we were praying that snow wouldn’t be an issue!

Her mom called me around 6:45 on Sunday the 10th – letting me know that they were heading to the hospital (an hour away) for the night – snow and ice was in the forecast and they wanted to be prepared. I left at 7 – ready for a long night sleeping on lobby couches. As I pulled off the exit from the highway – her mom called again – asking where I was. She was 9 cm and getting ready. WHAT!

I made it to the room at 8 – and that sweet baby girl was born at 8:30 after just a few beautiful pushes!

(You won’t see all the photos in this blog post – but you will still see beautiful ones!)

I mean seriously – that chubby little face!

Sierra & Jose – it’s such a beautiful thing to witness!

Thank you SO MUCH – from the bottom of my heart – for asking me to photograph Rosa’s birth – but more than that – for asking me to be there.

There’s something so miraculous about watching someone take their first breath. Thank you.
