This has been an incredible week of firsts for my family, and more so for my 22 month old daughter, Stella. First week of preschool (photos to come), first night in our new (albeit temporary) home, and her first night in a “big girl” bed (after night #2 it isn’t going all too well). It’s...
This was the second of three newborn sessions I had last week. A record for me! Over the years I’ve really changed the way that I approach newborn sessions.

When I walked into their home Saturday morning, both babies were peacefully sleeping in their pack-n-play bathed softly by the sunlight that was streaming through the sliding glass doors.
