Ethan – sneak peek!
Yesterday was Stefanie’s first day back at work. She’s been working from home, and she’s had a few times where she’s gone to the office, but yesterday she had to leave her sweet little boy at home.
Of course I brought my camera! Here’s a sneak peek of the pictures I made of him. This is ‘tummy time’ after his second feeding. He thought the dog Lilly was amusing!
April 8, 2009 - 6:31 pm - Ohhh weeeee! How handsome is he? So happy and cute too! These days are so wonderful but seem to be gone in a flash...Enjoy every minute!
April 10, 2009 - 3:09 pm - thanks, Stephanie! He is such a cutie pie! and you're right, it does go quickly!! Your little Selah is getting to be a big girl!
Stokes Family
Thad and Stephanie brought their baby girl to see me at the studio. Here are a few of my favorite photographs:
Sophie’s Album
oh geez. I got all teary eyed when I finished this album yesterday.
Belinda, Sophie’s mom dropped by yesterday. I finished putting together little Sophie’s baby album. I cannot believe how much she has grown! She is such a little princess now!!
I remember when Belinda first came to the studio with her. She held her so tenderly. I remember the awe in Belinda’s face – not just her eyes, her whole face. Belinda spoke a lot without saying a word. She is indeed a blessed woman! The first photograph in her album is still one of my very favorites!
anyway, here’s her album:

Lyndan – Part Two
Now this is what I LOVE about babies. They’re expressive.
they don’t care who’s watching, they don’t care what you think.
They just let it out. Happy, upset, blowing raspberries, whatever it is.
They don’t hold back. You gotta love ‘em!!
Lyndan – Part one
oh, look! isn’t he just the cutest, chubby, huggable baby boy you’ve seen all day????
I have some really cute ones of his little facial expressions that I’ll be posting soon.
Isabella’s Birthday Party
Many of you have followed the first year of Isabella. She had a tea party for her first birthday celebration!
She was so exhausted from all the excitement, but she loved seeing everyone. She got some pretty cool presents too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ISABELLA!!
Today, Isabella came to see me. it’s hard to believe a whole year has gone by! I have loved seeing her change this past year, and I so look forward to watching her grow up!
here’s her original birth slideshow, in case you missed it: Isabella’s Birth
