Ordinary Miracle

I love photographing newborns. There are so many aspects of my job that I enjoy, but one of my favorite parts is documenting those first few days of a brand new life. So many new parents (moms especially!) are in a sleep-deprived haze, just going through the motions of feedings, changings, etc. It’s so hard to really appreciate how very special the first few weeks are. I know…I’ve been there 3 times over myself! I love knowing that someday, these moms will looks back on these images, and they will be able to re-live the smallness, the newness, and the wonder, all over again. Those small details that they didn’t really have the energy to appreciate will be there for them to enjoy at their leisure. I picture these moms sitting 5 years from now with their once-newborn child saying “look how tiny your feet were!” as they thumb through their photos. It just makes me smile! This little guy today was so adorable. He was quite the little pistol though, already showing his new parents that ‘minority rule’ is definitely the name-of-the-game in their household! Congrats to the K family, he’s absolutely perfect!  k09cmini.jpg k09cmini.jpg   k19hmini1.jpg
