You know I read something, it said that hating your ex is by extension hating a vital part of your child. I could never be that person and I am grateful that my ex isn't that person either.

This sweet, beautiful family is expecting their 4th baby! Another girl to even things out in the family, which Big sister couldn't be more excited about. For this maternity session I traveled to Hyde Park , which has this beautiful bird watching post. We used a lot of the shade for the images before heading [...]

My favorite part about newborns is their super curly qualities and the tiny little fists they can't help but form. The way they wrap their tiny hands around their loved [...]
What an absolute joy was this family. They had the sweetest back story, and one of the amazing and most funniest things is that they both have the same name. They were a part of a Dockatot campain to celebrate all kinds of different families. Baby O was so calm and beautiful. You could see [...]
