big brother, Joaquin. just as sweet as he is handsome. :)

and this, i had to include.  people say babies can't smile until they are older...it's got to be gas, etc...but this.  this was a real reaction to his mama's voice.  he was fussing a little, and natalie was away tending to her other son.  (that is his daddy's hand:) i was really amazed at his reaction when she returned. the way babies search for their mama when she speaks is really one of life's biggest gifts, if you ask me. but oh, rocco, your alertness. at 2 days old! 
also, if this doesn't make you smile, you're a rusty old robot inside.

ragsdale holiday.

this is luke and sarah.  they have been together for ten years (!!), and married a few years ago.  it's not hard to imagine them as elderly people still in love, the kind that you see holding hands on a park bench.  (aw! ;)
it was so fun to photograph a couple this way.  married, established, not expectant of anything (wedding, baby, etc), and just in love.  most of the time, we want photos of occasions or events, and forget that every portion of our life is a milestone.  not mundane, it just is.  and recognizing that is just so...nice. 
i enjoyed spending this part of our morning together! xo.
