there’s something about seeing a mom smell her new baby…while newborns always carry a mysteriously sweet smell in those early days, it’s more than that. it’s like she’s breathing them in. it’s as close as she can get now that they are on the outside and while it’s still not quite close enough, it satisfies the senses and offers a deeper connection, if only for a moment. one of God’s little gifts to us mothers, i figure.

you may recognize these folks from the many milestones i’ve been able to document in their lives. amber and bonner are servants – they are constantly caring for and loving others. it was such an honor to be able to serve them for once!

oh man. possibly one of the most emotional newborn sessions i’ve ever done. when i went back to my car after it was over, i took deep breaths and coasted between tears and pure joy.
it’s hard to describe, but when you really love people and you see them love on each other and a sweet life they helped create…there’s just something beyond beautiful about that. then as they sat and made music together (i mean this literally, by the way, nothin kinky people!) i was overwhelmed with a sense of peace and at the same time, anticipation for what the future holds for this amazing family. i am so beyond grateful that amber and bonner have invited me into their lives. what a gift it is to me.
that was amber and bonner just over a year ago at their wedding and all i can say is that this baby girl will never be far from music…even as she was sleeping soundly and i was trying to get a couple shots of her on the piano, her dad couldn’t help but plunk out a melody 🙂
bonner and a friend made this crib while they waited for her to arrive.

i was sure he was going to come when we were on vacation. and then i was sure he would be here as soon as we got home. but no…he waited another week, graciously giving his mama a little more time to get ready and his daddy a few more full nights of sleep. turns out he had perfect timing.

what a little gentleman. he slept sweetly and soundly, then woke up for a brief “eyes open” appearance before drifting back asleep in the arms of his mama.
happy first mothers day, suman!

can i just tell you a little bit about this family? they are kind and generous and hard-working…and real:
mary, i hope you don’t kill me for showing this picture. but i love it! because i feel like it tells a story. and let me tell you, all us mamas of three know. the. story.
while the little man was being fed, i took the opportunity to play with big bro and sis…
you may recognize that door from the last time we shot in front of it a year ago…when there were only four of them!
