and appreciate how much time is actually put into a session--before, during, and after. In looking through these, I know how each image is special for it's own reasons. And then when you think that these are only a handful of the images that have been created so far this year--not just by me, but by every other person who owns a camera--wow! This digital age is truly something beyond comprehension!

1. I've worked hard to incorporate true lifestyle (well, as close to true lifestyle as is possible) photography in my family photo sessions simply because when I look through my own personal pictures, those are the images that I'm drawn to most.
2. We didn't know it at the time, but that sweet baby girl was battling some kind of awful sickness that landed her in the hospital for a bit. She's all recovered now, but poor thing...I can't believe she put up with the session in spite of her not feeling well. I look forward to getting to work with her again when she's her normal, happy self.
3. Her mommy has the.best.hair.ever. She's better than a Breck girl.

Three things about this newborn session:
1. Seriously the most smiley baby I have ever met. Ever. No matter what we did, he just seemed to feel the need to smile and I dig that about him.
2. Have I told you how much I enjoy working with this family? Well, just in case I haven't, I'll tell you again.
3. In the pics below, you'll see little man snuggled in a basket. I can't even begin to describe what we went through to get that shot, but let us take a moment to pause and appreciate our efforts.

Okay, I've just now realized I'm never going to catch up on 2010 blog posts if I keep going at my current pace, so I introduce you to speed blogging which will combine 1) lots of pics and 2) three quick notes about each session. Let's see how this works for me...
