A Living, Breathing Miracle

I recognize that all babies are miracles.  But when your life starts out with complications, it makes every day together that much sweeter.  Such is the case with little Miss C.  She terrified all of us in the beginning, but thanks to the amazing Dr.s & Nurses that cared for her and much praise to God for giving her the strength to pull through, I had the enormous privilege of holding my beautiful, healthy niece in my arms for the first time in December.  I only wish I could see her everyday.

I’d also like to put in a plug for the Ronald McDonald house for providing my sister & her husband a place to stay where they could be close to their baby.  What an incredible organization!

So here she is, after a long wait (both to meet her and to finally get these pictures posted online!)

 

Orange County Photography

Last month I traveled down to the beach to photograph these adorable kids.  I normally don’t do a lot of beach photography, but since the ocean was in their back yard, how could I refuse?  The light was amazing, the family was a blast, and I love our results.
