I have a nice big New Mexico post in the works, but don’t have enough time this morning to get it posted before school with the kids- look for it later today.

Here is one for now.

Call it my new favorite, because I am just smitten. This is another one of those images that I can imagine myself looking back on with such emotion and fondness.

me & my favorite person | Santa Fe, NM | 2010

It was just a little over a year ago when we did maternity shots of Lauren and Mark as they awaited the arrival of their sweet little girl.  It was surreal and wonderful seeing them for the first time in a year, now with their new little sidekick.  :)  What an absolute CUTIE they have!

This photo, to me,  just encapsulates the wonderful beauty of new parents. It is such a magnificent time.

One of the few smiles we got from her that day, was looking at her Daddy.

On the way to our second location she fell asleep.  :)

And she kept sleeping…..

Then she woke up and was thrilled to be at a bookstore that she loves and is familiar with.  She ran around looking through books, pulling them off the shelf, and plopped down to thumb through them.  It was adorable watching her!!

Lauren and Mark, thank you for letting us capture this precious time in your lives!  Your girl is just a sweetie pie….I could eat her up!  ;)
