I used to wait for a sign, she said, before I did anything. Then one night I had a dream & an angel in black tights came to me & said, you can start any time now, & then I asked is this a sign? & the angel started laughing & I woke up. Now, I think the whole world is filled with signs, but if there’s no laughter, I know they’re not for me. - Story People
This sweet baby is actually already earth side! Pretty sure he is the first ever baby to actually beat me to the finish line of gallery prep! Only a few days after this photo session a sweet little boy decided he was done waiting and was ready to meet the most awesome parents. And by awesome I mean fearless, adventurous, and positively amazing parents. It was single digits out there and we were some of the very first ... yes like the only footsteps in the Arboretum that morning. It was actually mad-peaceful and completely beautiful. I cannot wait to meet their sweet little one, next week! xo

Be here now.
Check out this sweet new party of four! I have been anticipating this little one's arrival for MONTHS! Not only because my friends makes super cute babies, but also because I couldn't wait to see her big sister get her very own side kick! Baby sis has no problem mixing into this awesome family. Big sis was a complete entertainer - making sure to show me all her cool moves, and awesome fort! Dad did a fantastic job with pigtails and mom ... as we all know kept everything running smooth! We wrapped up with music and dancing and I think that is how all shoots should wrap up from now on. All the love.

Be a good parent, gross out your kid.
The best age in all the land is probably 5. I have always been pretty confident with this - but after meeting this sweet new 5 year old, I am sure of it! To be honest, I knew we would be fast friends with the sign on the front door. Which said, "NO BAD GUYS ALLOWED" I mean, seriously. I wish I thought of that. Brilliant. With eyes that sparkle, and an interest in showing and sharing all the things he was just born to be 5! We had so much fun snuggling with mom + dad and then showing me all of his favorite things at home. We even popped outside to brave the cold for a quick sec. This kid is going to do great things!

Your job is to focus on my personal happiness, she said, & I've got big plans, so break time is over. Story People
This sweet little lady has a whole team of people committed to her absolute happiness! She seems pretty content with that, too - because she might be the happiest baby I have met in a looooong time! I mean it wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows outside, but she totally understood the assignment. She just loves her people so much that it shows all over her face - pure delight.

This is how a new world always begins: hearing the song & the beat of a mother's heart until you cannot wait to come out & dance. - Flying Edna
So excited for this lovely pair of new parents-to-be! These two are so easy going and ready for it all. Even big - four - legged - brother is ready! He was on the look out for fun, and mom + dad brought all the things to keep him engaged, treats, toys, the whole deal! Such a gorgeous day to celebrate the anticipation!!
