“So, as you think about how to raise your daughter to be a confident and courageous woman—sure of herself and resilient under pressure—begin by considering there you need to practice a little more bravery yourself. Any time you tip toe around an awkward conversation, allow someone to treat you poorly, avoid taking a risk for fear of failure or let other people’s opinions matter more than your own, you’re missing an important opportunity to teach your daughter how to be brave.”

A little peek into Blaire + Donnie’s family as they welcome home the littlest lady of the house, Camille. Her big sister Catherine is the most delightful, entertaining combination of sugar + spice and I can only imagine the fun Blaire has planned with these two little ladies this Summer. Here’s a little bit of their new normal…
I absolutely love these newborn shoots where we can make big brother or sister feel like an important and fun part of bringing home baby. From my years of working with toddlers, I know bringing home a new baby sometimes brings emotional hurdles as everyone adapts to a new normal, but I love getting in the thick of it with my clients for the day, capturing all of the perfectly imperfect emotions and some of the first sibling connections.
Blaire + Donnie, thank you for inviting me to document your beautiful growing family. Until next time…

“Life is amazing.And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful, it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.” ― L.R. Knost
Clean, unadulterated, beautiful new life. This is absolutely my favorite part of documenting these moments, especially for first-time mamas. I hope you enjoy a peek into Allison's life as a new mama as much as I enjoyed documenting it.
