I always love working with newborns but in this season I think it's been even better than normal. I was able to meet Madelyn a couple weeks ago and she was the most adorable tiny girl. My son, Roman took one look at her and said, "Tiny! Cute!" and that's basically the best way to describe her little personality! I always say that I get my girl fix when I get to work with newborns and it's so true, since I have get to use all the sweet little headbands and wraps that I love! I have been working with the Reyes family since Gracie was born and I have loved every session with them even more than the one before! Gracie wasn't so sure about doing pictures with her sister but even though she was more excited to play, we still captured some of the sweetness that I know will only grow between these two sisters.

I love any excuse to dress up and when I saw Teresa get out of the car I knew it was going to be the perfect night! When the reason to find a fancy dress is to celebrate a new baby getting ready to enter the world it's twice the excitement! Teresa and German are preparing for a sweet little girl and we had the best night adventuring around by the water.

I'm pretty sure I got way more excited than anyone else when I saw some pussy willow sprigs (at least that's what they looked like!) by the road and made Teresa jump down into the ditch to use them and just like I hoped they add some sparkly magic to the session. Even though technically this may not actually be spring, we are pretty close so I'm going to count this as my first spring session. It perfectly fits the new life and soft colors that are so delightful after a winter of seemingly lifeless brown things. And to top off the session I even convinced her to jump in the river...literally! The sunset hours combined with water just may be the best combination.
