I don’t have a lot of words for this one. Clara’s mommy is one of my dearest friends. My heart bursts with joy for her.
A mother’s heart lives outside her body.
I adore you & your sweet family. Thanks for inviting me to document it.
Love,

Emilee & Jeff
On my birthday I received the most amazing gift. A waterfall of tears. Graditude abounds as I witnessed the miracle of birth on the day of my own.
A testament to what mothers and fathers do to create family and grow love. As hope will float, love will grow. When you love so deeply you want to expand that love, and so it was that Jeff and Emilee created a family on Valentines Day years ago, and soon after came Mary and Ethan. And on this day, Emilee was brave, calm, & peaceful. . . Holy I might say. . . Divine. I witnessed the Divine.
“In with the good but none of the bad”
At one moment Jeff looked upon Emilee with wedding eyes, renewed in spirit. He said, ” I love you so much, you’re doing so good” Sitting. Waiting. Wishing.
“Please Lord”
“Thank you Lord” was all she ever said.
Jeff announced it was a girl at 10:04 am and she was 9 lbs 13 oz.
Paint me in your sunshine.
I look in glory at the instant mother and daughter bond. She is a newly impassioned soul. Light infused morning, filling the room with warmth like the glow of angels and new beginnings. and Clara, flesh wrapped in light and grace. Every little heart beat, every little breath, you will always be their girl. Welcome to the world Clara. You are so very loved.

Epple Family
I‘m going to try not to get too emotional here.
Holly and her family are some of the most kind and family centered people I’ve ever met. Quiet, patient, kind, they feel like a unit when you’re around them, a team. so when Holly let me know her newborn photos had the possibilities of being some of the only photos they get to take of their dear Ezra, I was crushed for them. My son, was very ill as an infant so feelings rushed back to me, devastated for Holly and her family as she awaited results from testing. So you can imagine my unabashed joy as I arrived and Holly shared the news that Ezra is in fact a healthy baby boy! My relief for them brought me to tears as I held his toes and saw his gorgeous eyes for the first time. Oh he is a beautiful ~ amazing ~ miracle of a child. thank you for inviting me to document your joy, Holly. Your three kiddos are all amazing.
Gratefully,

Davis Family
Welcome to the world, Hadley Joyce. Her lips, her eyelashes. . . I could just sit & soak them in. I know new mom (Amy) & dad (Geoff) are enjoying every trace of the magic their love has created. I met these two at a wedding I photographed last year and we have many mutual friends. It was such a nice session to chat with Amy and witness these tender moments of Hadley with her family. I adore when parents request using sentimental items. Both the purple and yellow blankets used below are special to the family.
I hope you love these images and cherish these sweet early days with your baby girl.
P.S. This nursery should be in a magazine. . . Really!

Longenberger Family
Lights will guide you home.
In the nursery of the Longenberger’s home, with crib nearby, there is a lovely piece of art. It says, “Look at the stars. . . look how they shine for you” Coldplay at their finest.
I have seen the fierce mothering done by this lovely women. And the stars do shine in their family. May they always guide the boys home to where their memories are. Magic starts at home. Jill, you are quiet and patient with your words and mighty when they need it. I stand in awe of the love that surrounds the four of you. And now he’s one. . . Already.
And so we had some birthday cake!
Bubbles in the warm glow of sunset. Turning one is pretty enchanting.
Happy first birthday, Ben! It’s just the beginning of your adventure!
