Where Did My Babies Go Edition:

*I realize this is a total cheat since I posted this on my blog last week, but
A. I love the photos THAT much
B. I want them on this blog for my book
C. I have been Busy with a capital B and have nothing else for you - so you’ll have to forgive the duplication.

When I look at my babies I do not see babies anymore. They are full on little kids with minds of their own. I am enjoying this stage to the fullest and cannot wait to see what the near future holds. It is true that time does fly and they grow so fast. I am a bit nostalgic of times past so I set out to capture what last little bit of “baby” they still have.

When I take photos of other peoples babies/children I start off with about 300 images and have to narrow it down to the ones that I will edit and show in their gallery. I always tell the parents that I pick the photos that “speak” to me. These first two photos speak to me in a way that brings tears to my eyes.

This is why I love what I do. To capture those special moments that make your heart hurt with love. Of course I love to take photographs. I really, really love to photograph newborns, but I think young children are my very favorite to photograph. They are so sweet, innocent, and true. Their expressions, smiles, pouts, tantrums are all from the heart. To be able to freeze those moments and give them to you is the best part of my job.
