Little Guy | Ardmore Newborn Photographer

When I posted this guy’s first birthday party a few weeks ago, I went through my blog twice looking for the post of his newborn photos because I couldn’t believe that I’d never shared them! It’s crazy to look back now when he’s become such a little person in the year since these photos were taken. And although his dad had to go on a last minute business trip and couldn’t take part in the session, I love that his big puppy brother, Duke, was there to take part. I’m excited to photograph them all again in just a few weeks! :-)

Super Mom | Phoenixville Newborn Photography

When I’m trying to think of titles for blog posts, I find myself wanting to title all of the posts “I have the best job ever.” I’m not sure if this is more of a reflection of my lack of creativity, or that I really, really love my job, but either way…I have the best job ever (see how I controlled myself from putting it in the title?).

Actually, it was pretty easy to think of an alternate title, because this little lady’s mom is most definitely a super mom. First of all, she ran a half marathon and lifted weights while pregnant AND she had this baby with no drugs … at home! I was so blown away by her and the perfect little girl who they welcomed. This baby girl could not have been more cooperative for me. She pretty much just laid in whatever position I put her in when she was naked and then once she was all warm and swaddled, woke up so that we could get some photos of her beautiful eyes. Also, I wanted to take mom home and have her decorate my entire house. She is an artist and I loved every piece that she had created and was hanging in their home.

Marissa

On most Tuesday nights for the last six years or so, you could find me in class with Marissa, practicing yoga. If you had asked me pre-yoga if it would be possible for me to stay committed to any sort of exercise routine for that long, my answer would have most definitely been no. I’ve never played a sport. In middle school gym class, I was the one ducking from the ball when we played volleyball – which is exactly why I took golf for high school gym. I’m literally incapable of running and when I was in girl scouts, I had to be rescued from the middle of the pool when I couldn’t finish swimming the mile (no swimming badge for me). All of this to say, that sticking with yoga for that long feels like quite an accomplishment. The best part is that going to class has never felt like a chore. Marissa deserves a good deal of credit for that.

When I took “New to Yoga” at a studio in Conshohocken all those years ago, Marissa happened to be a sub for one of my classes. I liked her so much that I decided to go to her regular Tuesday night class. Let me tell you, it was not pretty. I would leave class a sweaty mess with legs like jelly, but I stuck with it and it got better! Even when I was huge and eight months pregnant, I kept going to class and Marissa would dutifully give me modifications to accommodate my enormous belly. Although the physical side of yoga has been wonderful, it also made me take more quiet time and think about things differently and to accept the processes of getting better, rather than just demanding perfection right away. I am so grateful that I have yoga in my life now.

Sadly, tonight was my last regular Tuesday night class with Marissa, since she is moving on to bigger and better things in yoga therapy. I am so happy for her and simultaneously, so sad for me. *sniff sniff*

I figured there was no better time for me to share the beachy yoga photos that I was incredibly honored to take for her a few years ago. She is a beautiful yogini and a beautiful person.

This guy was just a tiny bit older than the newborns that I typically photograph, so he required just a little bit more cuddle time to be convinced to cooperate. Do you feel so bad for me? That I had to cuddle this adorable little person? Yeah…I didn’t think so.

I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it a hundred more times, but I love photographing older brothers and sisters with their new babies. Seriously. I could do it every day of the week. It is the best. Can you stand the cuteness of these two?
