I’m coming off a weekend high of having my mom and family visit for my daughter’s 4th birthday festivities – so much fun and, with all of the extracurricular commitments, I actually did not work late nights the entire time. Yes, sleep is a beautiful, beautiful thing! I’m playing catch up on several sessions and have lots to blog later this week, including the gorgeous Stella, handsome high school seniors Cody and Zach and could-very-well-be-a-model high school senior Abby.

Important calendar note: If you’re an expectant mother (or are planning to purchase a baby shower gift certificate for an expectant mother) and due in July or later this year, it’s not too soon to get on the session calendar for a single Signature Newborn Session or a newborn session as part of baby’s First Year Program. I reserve a limited number of newborn spots each month so that I can give the highest level of attention, planning and creative detail to each one within a flexible schedule around baby’s due date (because we all know they have minds of their own even before birth.) May and June sessions are now closed. As always, it’s a good reminder that babies are best photographed within the first 5-10 days of life when they’re most sleepy.
