I spent some time with Casie + her little peach Layla a couple weeks ago and left feeling so inspired and as I edited these images I got so EMOTIONAL! Why? Well its not a surprise, Im a sentimental sap but this one hit me.
Since having my own daughter (6 months ago now- WAH) I have truly been able to appreciate seasons, and time so much more. I look at my own daughter and see how much she has changed- that when I edited these images I couldn't help but hope that they will fill an album or wall in Casie's house. These are moments captured in time. They create beautiful memories. Those little hands, those sweet tiny toes, the giggly smile and of course the sucking on her shoulder- all of that will change in the blink of an eye it seems like. It goes by WAY TO FAST!
Life is to short to waste on stressing over the what ifs, the to do lists. Life is full of tiny moments and I am blessed that I get to capture them. Its an honor that people will look back on these memories and smile a bitter sweet smile. That someday when Layla is graduating these will be the "embarrassing" images Casie shows with pride. I am so thankful when I have clients who not only trust me to capture these moments but see the beauty and importance in them as well.
So congrats little 4 month old Layla. You are the apple of your mama's eye and such a beautiful, happy girl. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU to Casie- loved capturing you and Taylor over the years and its been a blessing to meet your little one.
