living with grace, patience, and hope..

Since it is the day after Memorial Day, it only seems fitting to post about this amazing couple. Alexis is currently serving the US Air Force on assignment in Las Vegas, away from her husband, Justin, who is a teacher in Los Angeles. I can’t even begin to express my admiration for the ease in which they have handled this time of their lives.. living apart with a new baby. I know they are counting down the days until Alexis begins her next assignment this summer and will move back to her home in Los Angeles. I have an incredible amount of respect for the challenges that military families endure and the strength it requires to carry on with such grace, patience, and hope.

It also amazes me that Alexis prioritized this newborn photography session amidst traveling between Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Michigan, and Alabama with her 6 week old in tow. Like so many events in life, it may seem that there might always be a better time, but this new Mom is beyond inspirational! It is all about declaring value and deciding what is important, holding back from excuses and making time for the little things..

a thousand feelings..

for a mom who never wants to forget
how he holds his hands so tight together, like he is praying…
and how little his feet are (still at 3 months old).
and for a dad who is on the road for a living,
i hope these photographs are worth more than a thousand words,
but rather a thousand feelings there are no words for.

just three and a half weeks..

this tiny, beautiful, wide eyed little girl made my last photo session of 2009 a very special one. here are a couple of my favorite photographs at first glance. i just had to share before the holiday break, since her parents will be waiting so patiently for their proofs until after the new year!

there’s hope…

You don’t have to pay to laugh
You better thank God for that
There’s hope…”
-India Arie

I am so thankful that I was given the opportunity to photograph this adorable 8 month old, because she certainly made me smile and brightened my week. This age (6-8 months) is such an absolute joy to document. They are not yet crawling away, but their personalities are so bright and playful. Babies at this stage are a perfect reminder of the simplest joys in life, and this little one was no exception. They amaze me every time.

i think this 7 month old baby girl is just about as cute as they come.
