Baby Nell {Columbia newborn photographer}

There's something so magical about newborn sessions that have always made them a favorite of mine. Spending time with a family that has just brought home it's newest member, when everyone is getting to know each other, figuring out the new normal, where most days are only spent sleeping and eating and establishing a routine... this is such a special time and I love having the opportunity to document it. Thank you sweet Hoey family for having me, y'all are the best, and I hope to see you again soon!

If you have never stumbled across the amazing blog Wordless News you must go have a look. It is the brainchild of my good friend and designer Maria Fabrizio and it. is. fabulous. Her talents got the attention of NPR and she now does illustrative work for their program Morning Edition. The good folks at NPR did a feature on Maria a couple of years ago, and they are working on another one. When she called to ask if I would help document her creative process for the feature, I could not wait to get started. Maria + NPR = two of my favorite things.

I'm always so grateful for clients that I get to work with over the years. Watching this sweet little one grow up has been truly delightful.

I have been dreaming of doing this session with my littles for a long time. Dreaming of making these sweet photographs for them to look at when they are teenagers and fighting over the car they will likely share. And for me to look at when we drop them off at college. And hopefully, one day, for their children to look at. I love being able to create something that is part of a family's legacy. Both for my clients and for myself. The days are long and the years are short when you have small children. I want to always remember these days.

Growing up, my mother took millions of photographs of my two siblings and I. She always had her trusty point and shoot camera nearby. But the closest we ever came to professional photographs of us was an Olan Mills portrait taken at church. Which is why these beautiful photographs, taken by our dear friends We are the Hoffmans, mean more to me than I can even put into words. This little family that I get to call mine are the three most incredible gifts I've ever been given. The amount of joy they bring me is something I am so, so thankful for. They humble me, push me to be better, lift me up, make me laugh, pick me up when I fall, and remind me that the journey is far more important than the destination.

Also, a huge thank you to Ana Bateman of Cline's Salon for my hair and makeup- you are amazing.
