My dear friend Sara of Alexander and The Kid Photography was kind enough to take a few maternity photos for us. I really regretted not getting photos taken when I was pregnant with Jude. I have one. And as hard as it is for me to get in front of the camera and on the other side of the lens, especially with a growing and changing body, I’m so glad we did this. Thank you, Sara, for the beautiful memories.

ps – Ty isn’t mysteriously missing from these photos. This was an early morning session and I’m sure you can imagine early mornings and 15 year old boys don’t mix […]

I decided to sort through and search for some photos of my kids at their births today. Man, each feels like yesterday but it simply couldn’t have been.

I have limited photos of Ty thanks to hurricane katrina, but this has always been my favorite. Forgive the weird frame and text, this is the only digital version I have on my computer. His birth was amazing and SO much fun.

And Taryn, oh Ms. Taryn. She told us a lot about herself on the day she was born. Slow to warm and spunky….23.5 hours of labor. I remember Ty being so excited. He had waited 8 years for a sibling and it was […]
