This sneak peek definitely falls into the category of “I wonder what she’s thinking …” When my daughter was born, some of my favorite moments were watching her while she slept and wondering what in the world she might be thinking as those little grins would curl her lips. Now that she’s a toddler, my husband and I have a pretty good idea she was plotting nearly a year of 30 minute naps (to the minute) and future escapades scaling the highest points of our home without a net. So I laughed out loud while I was post-processing these images of little Anna. Just three months old, but ever so expressive with every part of her little being.

I enjoyed this session so much, especially watching dad work his magic on her tummy troubles. If I had to caption the first image, it would have to be “he really can move mountains.” She was truly hanging on his every word.

During sessions with the littlest ones, I often stop and tell mom to “do what you do” … which basically means “feel free to pick her up, calm her, give her a pacifier, change her, nurse her” … whatever it takes to comfort and care for them as I’m shooting away. I’m so used to saying that, but this time, mom said to me, “He (dad) has his own little ways.” And it was truly special to watch. Congrats to mom and dad on this long-awaited, much-loved beautiful bundle. Enjoy some of the images that made me smile and watch for a slideshow this week and more sessions throughout the next year as Anna grows.
