In the last post, I mentioned that Andrew and I have been busily getting ready for the arrival of our baby girl. Even though she still has about 3 weeks left, we wanted to have all of our ducks in a row, so to speak, by the end of April in case she decides to make an early appearance. While there are just a few small loose ends to tie up this week, we finished the last major project over the weekend, and I thought you might enjoy a glimpse. It was definitely a lot of work, but like many young families who are on a budget, we were determined to do as much as possible ourselves. The mobile, wall art, crib skirt, and pillows were all hand-made by yours truly (with help from my hubby when it involved paint fumes!), and I need to brag on Andrew who definitely outdid himself by re-finishing (and hand-distressing) the dresser/changing table. Didn’t he do a fabulous job? Take a peek into the nursery:

Life has been pretty crazy around here as Andrew and I have been checking off the list of things to do to get ready to meet our baby girl and I have been busy squeezing in sessions before going on maternity leave. My poor blog has been a bit neglected as a result, but I did want to share a few frames from a recent session. This family of four actually welcomed their baby into the world just 6 weeks ago, so I loved having the opportunity to capture the sweetness of this newborn boy along with the energy and excitement of his older brother. 
Enjoy a glimpse:

I have been looking forward to this session since the fall when Stephanie originally contacted me about doing some spring photos of her growing family, so you can imagine how excited I was when the day of our session finally arrived! I was thrilled to get to capture Stephanie and her 3 year old daughter Ava interacting together (along with some special photos of just Ava) in this exciting season! We had a wonderful time just playing away underneath a canopy of trees on a gorgeous spring afternoon. Enjoy a glimpse:
