Just a few photos of Jonah at 6 days old. He’s now over 2 weeks old, which is just crazy to me. He’s changed so much since I shot these photos of him. He looks SO much like Teagan Jude now. In fact, we’ve all mistakenly called him Teagan a time or two they look so much alike.

I sat down at my computer for the first time in days tonight. I had to download my memory cards because they are all full. I haven’t been posting much, or sharing, but I have been photographing him quite a bit. I managed to come down with mastitis at 9 days postpartum and man, […]

Halloween 2012

We ordered Jonah’s costume months ago (from this seller) and as the days marched on with me being overdue, we seriously started to wonder if that purchase was a little optimistic. As we started to think about evicting him after 42 weeks, we were looking at a Halloween date or November 1st or 2nd. Thankfully, our little man arrived of his own free will. And we got to use the super cute, a little nerdy, costume. I tried to convince Miss T to go with Star Wars too, but, she’s got a mind of her own. And I love that she’s such a non-conformist girl. She wants to be what she wants to be, gender roles be damned. I […]

Just a few more of my sweet, smiley, little man at 3 days old. He’ll be a week old (!?!?!) in about 8 minutes. I wish time would seriously slow down already. I’m enjoying every second with him. When he was born I couldn’t see much of a strong resemblance to any of his siblings, he was just all Jonah with a tiny little bit of each of the other kids thrown in. At a week old, I see sooooooo much Teagan Jude in him, it’s crazy.

CLICK HERE: THE BIRTH OF JONAH

I’m sitting here trying to find the words to write this blog post and honestly, they are escaping me. Our birth photos. Jonah’s birth photos. As captured by Leilani. I’m so overwhelmed by them. I capture births all the time, its a part of my job and what I do, so it was very important to me to have his birth photographed. I wanted what I give to others. I wanted them for myself and for my child. I don’t care how I looked, I wanted them to be raw and real and that’s exactly what they are and so much more. We desperately prayed for this baby over the course of 3 […]

With the exception of taking long walks around the neighborhood on Saturday to get labor moving I hadn’t been out of the house since then. So Monday I was feeling a bit cooped up. We decided that it was the perfect time for an outing and we still needed pumpkins for the kids to carve before Halloween. I was quickly reminded about how scary it is to put your precious new baby in a moving car. I resisted the urge to yell at all the crazy, wreckless drivers that were going over 30 mph. You know, even though I really wanted to yell “Don’t you know I have a newborn in this car?!” out the window in crazy new mom […]
