Babypalooza 2014!

They keep saying there’s something in the water…

You go through periods in your life where everything changes for your friends and family. About 3 – 5 years ago it was weddings, I feel like every other month we were watching someone get married! Now, they are all starting to have babies. The number of people I see on a daily basis that have either just had a baby or are going to have one this year is astonishing! And it’s all so heartwarming. There is nothing more special that seeing two people start a family. I don’t know the feeling personally yet but I can see it and feel the happiness and warmth radiating from those who do. When I get the pleasure of photographing a pregnant mother or a new baby, it just puts everything into perspective. It feels like it matters more than anything else, like I’m giving them such a gift. There’s no hair and makeup and perfectly planned locations. It’s just real life and love.

There’s a lot to blog about, but for now here’s just a taste.

First, I had the great honor of being asked to help with the ‘online pregnancy reveal’ of two close friends of mine this week.
