Slow down, baby girl, I can’t keep up.

Guess it’s a good thing we have so many pictures.

I was so happy to hear that Charlotte and Henry were coming back to see me again for Charlotte’s 7-month portraits. The shot of the two of them together from Charlotte’s newborn session is still one of my favorite sibling images. They have both grown up so much since this spring – but they are both as darling as ever.


Oh, those eyes just kill me!

Thanks so much for coming to play! Come back any time–I always have race cars, Smarties and puffs on hand:).
Well, here we are, at the end of the true newborn images. I love my babies and I love my job, so to be able to do my job with my own baby girl has been so blissfully wonderful. Hard, exhausting, and a lot of work, but such a gift.
Eva, 14 days:




Days 15 and 16 can be seen here.

19 days (sleep is harder and harder to come by):



20 days was the first day of school, so we skipped it.
21 days (also known as Eva’s cease and desist request):


What an amazing 3 weeks!
Just a short post to announce the arrival of the newest Washburn baby, Evangeline. The name Evangeline means “bearer of good news,” and despite the nausea and the heartburn and the exhaustion and the body aches, Eva has always been good news. She had the most amazing birthday today at 2:44 in the morning and I just can’t wait to get to know her better and better every day.
Many more images and birth information to come, but for now she just wants to say “hi.”
Baby Evangeline, 17 hours:

My favorite part so far:).

Eva, you are the best news ever.
Love,
Mom
So, here we are at 37+ weeks and I finally had the chance to take some pictures of my belly with my family. That was the last thing on the “must do” list before Lemonhead’s arrival, so we are good to go any time:). I want to express my thanks to my wonderful family who are always so kind and patient with me and my crazy ideas. My darling husband shot most of these shots (lots of bringing me the camera so I could check things out and adjust the light, pose, composition, etc.) and my wonderful mother shot the rest. It’s always hard as a photographer to be on the other side of the lens, I think. But I know, I KNOW how grateful I will continue to be that we spent the time to find clothes and to take these images. As a young mother of just one or two kids, everything felt so epic that I never thought I would forget any of the motherhood stuff. Now, as a perpetually sleep-deprived not-as-young mother of almost 5, I realize that my memory is unreliable at best. What a blessing to live in a day when photographs are so readily available. I am so grateful for what I am able to do to capture the milestones in my own life and in the lives of my beautiful clients. I am a lucky, lucky girl:).
Lemonhead, 37 weeks:














To my sweet baby-girl-to-be, we are ready and we cannot wait to meet you! You are already more loved than you can possibly know.
Anyone wanna guess when she’ll be here?
