Little Lovely

I am extremely grateful for the life I lead, but I admit that every once in awhile I find myself feeling like a hamster on a wheel. Dashing from place to place, cramming in errands and housework during every free minute. Juggling three kids and the business that I have carefully built over the last few years. Toss in one of my own kids' birthdays and the last week of school and I swear, I know how that darn hamster feels.

Fortunately, this hamster had a little help. My parents were in town this week and lent a big hand with the kids. My husband continued to cover some of the bases -- okay, several of them -- for me. And I got the privilege of photographing a couple of special little people.

First up was a precious little baby girl. Just eight days old, and already she and her parents seemed to have settled right into life as a family. It was a joy to be able to spend time with them all and to capture her at this fleeting stage.

This is one gorgeous little girl.







This morning's session was with a birthday boy who hit one this week. I'll be back soon with a few photos of him...
