I’ve been laid up with a nasty cold for the last few days and haven’t been shooting much at all. I do have a sweet newborn from a week ago, and a few family shoots from the last few months that i’ll be sharing soon.

Today I was off my sick bed for long enough to set up a lovely little shoot with some flowering quince and tulips I have in my house.

I’m trying out some new processing, what do you think? Lately I’ve been really inspired by vintage photos and the hazy melancholy of late winter… I think this processing style is perfectly summed up by this, don’t you agree?

Babies and bellies are all around me! It seems like that’s the only thing I’ve photographed over the last month, and with 6 friends pregnant or with newborns I’m feeling the baby fever! Which brings me to my next point… My little family is expanding as well! I’m due with #2 in June and couldn’t be happier! Right now it looks as if my maternity leave will start around the end of May. I won’t be taking any large weddings until August, but will resume portraits in July. If you have any questions or concerns about your bookings, please don’t hesitate to ask me!

Now, on to some photos. I visited my oldest, dearest friend and her brand new little baby girl last week. I spent so much time actually snuggling the baby I didn’t get a complete session in but I did get some sweet shots of a beautiful little girl.

I can’t believe that the girls who used to stay up all night talking on the phone talking about boys and teen drama are now staying up all night with their little ones.

This is the grandma, growing up she was basically my second mom – isn’t she a beautifully proud grandma?
