Oh boy…when I tell you that I could have kept this newborn…I mean it! She was as sweet as honey and as tiny as a bee. Okay…maybe the bee was an exaggeration…but she is only 4 pounds 7 ounces. I wanted to snuggle her sweet little self all to myself and offer her parents my guest room for a complete night of uninterrupted rest. ;-) Adeley is the tiniest baby that I have ever photographed or even held for that matter. She was like having a little slice of heaven in my arms. I can only imagine how her parents feel each day. But fear not…before you know it she will be running all over the place in pig tails and fluffy dresses.
Holli, found me through Facebook and I must tell you that I was incredibly honored when she informed me that she had narrowed the field down between two photographers and ultimately decided to choose me. As a photographer, of course that affirmation felt great. But honestly as I sat here editing these few blog shares it made me even more grateful to Holli and Chad for allowing me the honor of commemorating little Adeley’s first days home. I know what an exciting time this is your lives and I appreciate you sharing just a small part of your excitement with me.
Chad brought a prize possession from his youth which fit right in around here. GO GATORS! He envisioned a perfect image of his prize gator along with his newest life treasure…his precious newborn daughter. I think we got it Chad! And I have to tell you that it is probably one of my favorite images simply because I understand how much it means to you. I wish you, Holli and Miss Adeley a lifetime of moments as precious and meaningful as this one. XOXO~Dawn
Not my typical processing but I love the gentleness of this image…as if she is floating on a cloud.
Dawn, I knew that the photos would be wonderful, but I NEVER imagined how beautiful they would be. These are the most amazing photos that I have ever seen. Thank you so much for wonderful pictures and a wonderful photo experience.
Dawn, as Adeley’s Nana I knw the pictures of her would be absolutely great but I did not imagine how breath taking they would be. You did a wonderful job. I could never tell you how much love I felt you had for your work. You were so gentle and loving with her. Thank you for so much for a wonderful job. I shall remember it always.
