i’m still here | folsom newborn photographer

You know how when life gets busy you just let some things slide? We all have a list of things that we let go, put on back burner and block out of our minds. During my recent season of busyness I’ve found that I have three main things that fall by the wayside.

1. Grocery shopping

2. Laundry

3. Updating the blog

The problem for me is that the top two reasons come with little reminders that they need to be completed. Those reminders are growling tummies and empty sock drawers. The blog, on the other hand, just sits there content. It doesn’t complain that I haven’t given it any attention. It doesn’t demand that I update it. It doesn’t remind me that it’s been over a month since I’ve logged in to post some of my recent work. It just sits there patiently, waiting for the day that I’ll remember it and give it some much needed TLC.

Well, today is your day, blog. It’s not for lack of beautiful babies, gorgeous families, or stunning seniors though. I have a whole folder of sessions just waiting to be shared. But it is for lack of prompting on the blog’s part–if my blog would just email me with a note saying something along the lines of “Hey, I miss you. Want to spend some time updating today?” I’d probably be much more likely to give it some attention. But for now my little one’s voices are louder than the voice in my head reminding me to post, and the empty fridge and overflowing laundry baskets are much more visible.

 

 Here’s a session I did last year of a sweet little sixteen day old cutie.

How many new moms can say that they took a mentoring session and brought their own 9-day old baby to model for it? I’m always so impressed when clients are able to come to my studio during those first few days of their little one’s life, let alone drive all the way from Berkley and shoot right alongside me all day long! Elicia is a rockstar and we had a wonderful time photographing her little bundle of joy.

I think I let out a squeal when this adorable little guy came into the studio back in the beginning of December. That hair! And take a look at those lashes. This sweetie was just as cooperative as he was adorable and proved to be the perfect model for the newborn portion of my Mentor Me, Baby! mentoring session.

Beautiful family. Beautiful evening. Beautiful light.

2012 is off to a beautiful start, wouldn’t you agree?

What a fantastic year to be born. In all I photographed 40 precious, new little lives. Feeling so blessed to have been a part of their first few days. I can’t believe some of them are just about to turn one already!
