Kaylee, 10 Months-Pure Joy

My baby girl is growing up so fast! She is 10 months old already...time is just flying by! Some day's I think I'll blink and miss it all...but to help myself feel better about time moving so fast I snapped a few portraits of my little munchkin, this way when she is turning 16 I can look back and gush over my baby! She is such a ham and usually cooperates when I bust out the camera so I snapped some cute ones of her smiling! Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Baby Lily-Pure Joy

Everything about her has captivated their hearts, from her tiny toes to the soft hair on the top of her head. They have only known her a short time but already she is the center of their attention!

This is Miss Lily and when I did these pictures she was only a week old! So tiny and so brand new, I was honored to do her newborn session!

This wasn’t a normal newborn session though; Miss Lily was surrounded by her adoring fans…Mommy and Daddy, both sets of grandparents, her aunts and even her great grandmother! To say this family is smitten with their newest addition would be a gross understatement! Everyone was completely enthralled and could barley take their eyes off of her! It was so special for me to witness this family’s joy and be able to capture it with my camera!

Lily is a beautiful little girl and I’m looking forward to photographing her as the months go by!

Jackson’s Smile-Pure Community

 I wanted to share this with everyone because it has been pressing on my heart very much and I think this pressing on my heart is God wanting me to share this opportunity to help a little boy whatever way I can!

Cameron Ingalls is an amazing photographer and I’ve been a long time admirer of his work and I’m a faithful blog stalker (I’m slowly getting better at leaving blog comments)! When he told the story of Daniel, Halle and their little boy Jackson and how he had been born with a rare syndrome called “Simpson Golabi Behmel” as well as a cleft lip and palate. My heart went out to the family; I can’t even begin to comprehend all that Daniel and Halle have had to endure…emotionally, physically and mentally. As a mother of two I know the intense love and bond you have with your child before their even born, all you want is for them to be happy and healthy! I don’t know Daniel and Halle but I know they LOVE their son Jackson and I know that they would do everything in their power to keep him happy and healthy! 

Cameron has started a really awesome project to help out his friends and their adorable little boy, Its called Jackson’s Smile and I really encourage you all to click the link and read more about how you can help! Essentially, some truly amazing photographers have donated some of their artwork to Cameron to sell as prints to raise funds for Jackson and all his costly medical expenses. Its truly a win win for everyone involved because not only would you be helping raise funds for Jackson but also you’ll have some amazing art work for your home or office! 

I purchased this photo a few months ago, this is a Jose Villa Print and every time I walk by this picture I’m reminded of Jackson and his family and I take a second to pray for them. I hope you all take a moment to read their story and help in whatever way you can!
