Most days while she naps I attempt to get something done (like actually shower or clean the house). Yesterday however the afternoon light was so dreamy an impromptu photoshoot took place all without her knowledge. While she peaceful slept I snapped away a few photos of her in my favorite frog hat- and a few of just that gorgeous hair. And as I sit here looking through these photos I can't help but feel so blessed to be her mom. 

This sweet little girl is 8 weeks old today. Time is going by far too quickly- she's becoming bright, alert and interactive. And while theres nothing that warms my heart more than watching that little face light up with a smile its all so bittersweet. She's growing and far too fast! I wish time would stand still so i can enjoy every little snuggle and smile this girl has to offer.

Sweet little Nova was a model for headbands and hats when she was just one week old! After all who wouldn't love all that dark hair! And guess what- it just keeps getting longer and longer! 

 

Taking maternity pictures with a tripod- not my best idea ever. 

Taking maternity pictures one week before this little one is due to arrive- also not my best idea. 

These pictures were doomed from the start- in fact they were just kinda of an epic fail. Live and learn- i guess at this point its all about the memories. And by now i'm far too exhausted to be concerned with attempting any kind of retake. And so without further ado the 7 pictures i actually/sorta like.

Darling Georgia and Millicent over on my photo blog! 

A few weeks ago we are lucky enough to meet up with the fantastically talented bryan & mae for a little photo session. It was quite odd to be on the other side of the camera- lets just say i'm about as unnatural as one can possibly be. But after everything i absolutely love how they turned out- i'm so grateful to have these images of us together- they capture this moment in our life just perfectly. 

Hop (why yes i do mean hop!) on over to my photography blog to check out the little lady these shoes belong too!
