Senior Info

Becoming a parent is like an initiation into an exclusive club, Sure, millions of people do it every year, but once you are in, you are in for life! Becoming a member of the “parent” club changes you in ways you never dreamed possible. I remember my mom saying she would stand in front of a moving bus for us kids…and me thinking “are you CRAZY??”…and then I had kids. Or asking her who she loved more, John, or myself…and her saying, “I love you both equally, and differently”. Of course, I thought that was crazy too- and deepdown I knew she loved me most {hha, John}! But…then I had Haylee, and realized that you could indeed love two children both equally and differently.  Yes, becoming a parent changes you…

Its what I always tell my new moms and dads when they come in.  I know they must think I am nuts- they are all bleary eyed from lack of sleep, and new parent exhaustion.  But deep down, none of them can deny the truth- they are different, changed, subtly at first, but then they too realize they would stand in front of a bus for this little bundle in their arms- no matter how bleary eyed they are! This couple was no different. Sure, they were tired, but excited, that amazing new baby “high” as I call it- the early moments where you know that you have created a miracle.  Dad was especially cute during this session. He had this great “move” he did with Miss C- he rocked her far away from his body, in a boat like motion- and the minute he started, Miss C was as calm as could be.  yes, its a move I will be adding to my newborn “soothing” lineup!
Congratulations on your new bundle! Enjoy every moment!

    Great pics, even though there’s a baby in them! Just kidding =D. I love the one with the tulle in it like she’s wearing a tutu and the one with all of you where she’s kinda doin devil’s horns with her right hand on her foot. She doesn’t have it down exactly, but you and aunt ashleigh will be able to teach her, i’m sure =)
