[a lime slice]. baby sweet

from the moment i first saw you,

the second that you were born.

i knew that you were the love of my life -

quite simply, the love of my life. [c.simon]

oooo there's nothing like a newborn. every single little bitty part makes my heart skip a beat. the older annie gets the more distance comes between her newborn self and her pre-k self. i miss that baby.

i first met erin and duncan last year after they were married. we had a great time getting to know each other during an ever after session and continued to keep in touch. i was thrilled when i heard the news they were expecting their first baby. always such a wonderful time in life. again, i had the pleasure of documenting them as they waited for the arrival of their little one - not knowing whether they were having a boy or a girl. they wanted the surprise. and surprise it was. master kellan august was born on 4 august. i adore his name, really wonderful and i adore him - he's precious. we got together on a rainy sunday to photograph this sweetness.

[a quick shout out to jwrobel.com - for the gorgeous brood pouch that kellan was so content in and the adorable hat - organic yarn, hand knit by the incredibly talented designer jess wrobel - be sure to check out her website. stat.]

[and real men do change diapers - just sayin']

[i mean really, be still my heart - he is a gorgeous baby!]

[the connection between mother and child - amazing.]
