tiny dancer

Addison had her first dance class yesterday! I was soo happy there was no meltdown. She is one of the youngest in the class and the teacher said she did well. I am, I wasn't expecting her to throw out dance moves. But just the fact that she stayed in the room with a teacher for an hour is a success!

I have been waiting for this day the minute I found out we were having a little girl. It was a big part of my life that created many memories, routine, fun, and challenge. I am hoping she loves it as much. If she doesn't of course we will move on to whatever she wants to pursue. But for now it's to get her into group learning.

Annnd I mean seriously. Ballerina outfits on tiny tots slay me. Addison and her cousin Bailey are in the same class!

Photography

I rarely post client's photos here on my personal blog. But these photo sum up what direction I want to go with business. I enjoy newborn photography. It's challenging yet rewarding. I believe that's what everyone's career should entail. This challenge? The newborn was fussy, and it took all six hands to get him settled in this shot and done so safely. The reward? The parents ooohing and ahhing in adoration for this memory captured of their tiny newborn. They are only so fresh and new for so long. I am so honored each and every time a mommy hands over their sweet new babe for me to lull to sleep, feed, pose, and capture. 

Of course it's starts with a beautiful maternity session. The parents are always so overly in love and excited. 

 

I also love watching them grow the first year. They become JLP babies, and I love them all.



Six Months

One Year

Come December, while on maternity leave I am contemplating a few business changes to be made within JLP. I am excited and anxious. I want to push myself a little further, and hoping the time off will give me thorough planning time.
