a perfect 10
Our baby girl...
I still can't believe she is ours. After having 3 handsome little boys I remember wondering what our little girl would look like. Come to find out she looks a lot like her brothers! She's growing up so fast, too fast. She's 10 months old and more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I just love all her little features. But I think my most favorite feature is the little slope of her nose. Her profile is pure perfection. I took these on a whim one evening last week. The sun was setting. It was a bout 5:15pm in the evening and the soft light coming through the window was gorgeous. The only problem was there would be absolutely NO light left in about 10-15 min. I looked over at Penny and saw that she had this soft pink oversized sweater on and I knew I needed to seize the moment! I quickly grabbed her, my camera and a headband and dashed for my bedroom. Now the lighting situation was anything but ideal. My ISO was cranked up WAAAY too high buuuut I still love the way they turned out. So soft and subtle and so feminine. Although these images aren't technically a 10, they will be treasured and are perfect in their imperfection.
Her Blessing Day
Our sweet baby girl was blessed back in June and what a WONDERFUL day it was. It was filled with LOTS of family and friends that took the time to drive long distances and some even took planes rides to be her for her special day.
Now, we are extremely blessed to have a Nana who is a master seamstress and she has lovingly made a blessing outfit for each of her grandbabies. What a treasure right?! The one she made for our boys was the cutest thing I have ever seen! The cuteness bar was set quite high. Well, I don't know how she did it but she out did herself once again with this classic beauty. Everything on this gown has meaning, history and love sewn into every seam.
The ONE request I had was for it to have a peter pan collar, the rest was all inspired by Nana.
Here's the story:
The linen fabric is fabric thats been used for multiple blessing gowns. The silk ribbon that lines the hem and sleeves are from her T.T's (aunt) wedding gown (and all hand sewn on I may add) and the pleats near the bottom represent her and her family (6 all together) as well as the pleats on the bodice (3 brothers and one for mom and one for dad).
One of the most precious items adorning her dress are the buttons. These buttons come from Great Great Grandma Ruby's button box. How cool is that?! The headband she wore is a borrow from her Aunt Jenni who's daughter was the first to wear it. This hand crocheted headband was made by Penny's Great Grandma King and each cousin has worn it for her blessing day. Her dress was made with no pattern and is held together with delicate silk thread.
I'm so grateful that we have this little piece of family history couture in our home. I hope this will stay in the family for generations to come and that the history behind it will be passed on as well. I look forward to seeing my granddaughters wear this on their blessing days. How neat will that be?!
Erwood Maternity/ Newborn Lifestyle Photo Shoot
This sweet couple has waited a long time for this little one of theirs to arrive. I can't believe he is finally here and he is as adorable as can be! We used to live across the street from each other until we moved last year, I was so flattered that they called me months later and asked me if I could take their maternity AND newborn photos as they were expecting their first baby. We finally got together once Mom was on maternity leave from work which wasn't until she was almost 37 weeks along! It was a good thing we shot her maternity pics when we did because it was only a week after that, that baby B was born! Congrats Erwood's! I love seeing you as a family of 3!
