Isn’t it unbelievably amazing how quickly a newborn morphs into a little human being? Melanie and Jason were kind enough to ask me to come take some photos of their sweet baby girl and I got to experience first-hand the many faces of Eleanor.

“Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” – Elizabeth Stone

I was looking forward to this past weekend for no other reason than that I had no plans. Aside from working on some recent sessions, I was committed only to church and luckily, to see a movie with CJ (Wreck It Ralph 3D … two thumbs up!).

As I should have guessed, the weekend didn’t really turn out that way. Thankfully. Continue reading →
