Newborn Peace

I don't know what it is, but newborn babies have a special power. Actually, let me clarify, sleeping newborn babies have a special power. It's like they bring a peace with them that is so tangible you can almost taste it. And even though I may not know what power they hold, one thing I do know is that they are blessed, and they carry with them a presence that could only come from God. Hey, wait a minute, maybe that is it... maybe because newborn babies are so new, so fresh from the Lord, that they still carry His presence and His peace with them, so that when they finally make their appearance on earth, His qualities are still lingering on them like a fragrance no person could ever deny...Sounds possible to me... God, You are so good...

Having said all that about sleepy newborns, I was more than blessed to spend a little time in my newest cousin's precious heavenly aura.

Welcome to the world little Sophia, and thank you for bringing a little bit of heaven with you.

Much love,

A gift so great only God could create

I am kinda funny when it comes to gifts. If I get something that I really, really love I will not use or wear that thing for quite a while before I break it in. For example, one Christmas my mother in law got me this awesome smelling perfume, it was great. I mean the bottle was beautiful, and the scent was heavenly. I loved that stuff so much it sat on my dresser for well over a year before I ventured to grace my neck with it. I just liked to look at the bottle, and sniff it every now and then. I guess I just did not want to use it all up then have it be gone. So most of the time it just sat, looking pretty. Weird I know. I do the same thing with clothes, purses, shoes you name it. "Why not just use the stuff if you love it so much?" you ask. I'm not really sure. BUT if you ever give me a gift, and don't see me rockin it right away, don't be mad, just know that I really, really loved it. Really. ;)

Speaking of gifts, the other day I had the opportunity to hold a one of a kind gift that wasn't mine. Yet special none the less. *I guess it was a good thing she wasn't mine cause I probably would have set this one on the dresser for a year for sure! ; )

Baby S was an absolute joy to photograph. She made me work for her photos, little non sleeping girlie, but in the end it was a blessing spending time with her and her beautiful family. Enjoy, as I did, this heavenly gift from above...

Blessings,

Sleeping Beauty

I had a newborn shoot the other day with this sweet little lady.

Although you can't tell by the pictures, this wide eyed youngin' hardly slept. She was very alert and wanted to know exactly what was happening in the world.







Baby G was so precious, she actually made me want another one for about .25 seconds. Then I shook myself back to reality by going to change my 10 month old's diaper.... and trust, that type of diaper will reality check anybody.

**I just want to thank baby G's parents for letting me come over and do my thang. You guys truly are blessed, and I am even more blessed to know you. Love ya'll.

Peace
