A full Week in Photos!

I sure have been busy!  I got to do a family/newborn/baby shoot, a senior portraits session, and did 2-month-old photos of Maisy.  We also went to a Brewers game with Josh’s parents!  Basically, the week was full of photo fun and some newness with Maisy – I finally got her pathetically adorable frown on camera and she tried out the Bumbo this week and loved it!

Maisy Joy is 1 month old!

… well actually she is 2 months next week but these photos were taken at 1 month.

Being a Mom is so much better than I imagined, Maisy is way more fun than I could have dreamed, and I am way more in love than I thought myself capable.  Every time I look at this little girl my heart seems to bubble with joy.  I look at her and see all the goodness there is to be had in life, especially when she smiles her big, goofy grin back up at me.  I’ve been told so many times to enjoy every minute with this little girl because time will fly so I am trying my hardest to do just that!  On of my ways is by taking photos of her like this.  I’m thankful even more now than ever for my passion for photography because this really is the only way I get to freeze my little girl in time.

My intention for this shoot was to also get her outside but that just didn’t happen.  Maybe for her 2 month I can do the outdoorsy things I had hoped to accomplish in the 1 month… we will see.  What I did do though were some basic shots of her because I want to do the same shot every month for a year to better see how she’s growing and changing.  I also did some on the quilt I made her and photographed her adorable little details (eyes, mouth, etc).  I’m also tickled that I got some photos of her with Grammie and even me!

a Photo a Day | July 21 – Aug 3

Two Very Full Weeks in Photos!

For more “a Photo a Day” CLICK HERE.

These past couple weeks things went a little nuts.  I had my parents visiting and watching Maisy while I photographed several weddings, then Josh and I traveled to MN for some gigs where I got to see all sorts of family and friends (Maisy is a popular little girl) and photograph a gorgeous engagement session in downtown Minneapolis, we came back just in time for me to photograph another wedding in the Chicago suburbs, and finally Maisy and I tried to take it easy on Sunday (Mom bought her some black and white books and clearly she’s taken by them).

Week 1 |  July 21 – 27

This week Maisy hit 1 month!  So hard to believe!  She’s consumed most of my photographing for the week.  Seems to be my trend lately.  But I also photographed a wedding and saw a really cool looking sun at sunset this week!
