A SHORT LULL


Things have been quiet around the house lately, we are taking our time in the morning and enjoying the shelter of the apartment as temperatures break the hundreds throughout the area.  Our calm looks like early morning light peeking through the doorway, a kettle of water boiling, a quick snack.  I will be returning to work after a mini-vacation for the first time tomorrow, then launching full force into shooting the wedding of a beautiful couple on Saturday.

    Your sweetest Sofia. Whenever I see photos of her I can't help but think about how my daughter was just there. It helps me burn those fleeting memories into my mind for just a bit longer. She's such a beautiful and bright baby.

    I love hearing new music! Thank you for sharing!

    Oh heyo, our aquarium trip is famous now.

    But in all seriousness, you should take Sofia to an aquarium! She would LOVE it - especially the "nemo's" ha.

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
