LINCOLN!  That's who!  This child is beautiful.  I don't know if I have ever seen eyes so blue!  Unlike our last session, Lincoln was in a great mood this evening.  We got all kinds of smiles and laughs out of this little guy!  He is growing, almost sitting up by himself, dancing a little with the help of mom and dad,  and making all sorts of sounds.  Overall, I would say he is a delightfully happy baby boy.  Good job, mom and dad! Thanks to Derek and Amy for allowing me to watch Lincoln grow!  :) Here's the handsome guy...

As the mother of a daddy's girl, I know the feeling--all too well--of not being the parent who can ALWAYS soothe my child.  I've learned, however, that this can be a blessing in disguise.  As a result of Lincoln's unhappy state, Mommy Amy comforted him as well as she could.  Then, Daddy Derek arrived, started signing, and Mr. Lincoln began to cooperate...mostly.  As the outside observer, I was able to see the pride in Amy's face while she watched her husband subdue their child.  I saw love, strength, happiness, and peace in her expressions.  And Derek most certainly has a special way with his son, not caring what he has to do in front of a stranger to make his child happy.  The blessing is seeing someone else care just as deeply for your child as you do.  The blessing is feeling that much love and security in that moment.  While I watched this little family, I was the one who was blessed.    As for Lincoln's cooperation, we tri...

One thing I love about this hobby of mine is that I am starting to meet new people.  Coming into a stranger's house, asking to rearrange furniture, and taking over control of their brand-spanking new baby just doesn't seem to be polite at all, but for some reason, it works!  I really appreciate the trust that Amy and Derek gave to me while I was able to capture some super cute shots of their sweet Lincoln.  Even though Lincoln is only two weeks new, Momma and Daddy were already perfectly comfortable with their new addition.  They are pros already, which is much more than I can say for myself and my husband when our Izzy was only two weeks old. Lincoln was so sweet, and he was prepared for his session.  I left saying that this was probably the easiest newborn session I've ever had; I even got it done in record time!  I might be going out on a limb here, but I think that has to be a good sign for the parents.  It was truly my privilege to get to capt...
