Brooklyn is the daughter of Allison, Sunday's first ever nanny. The whole time Allison was nannying Sunday she was also pregnant with this sweet girl. We had so many fun conversations about how Sunday was helping Allison's son, Aiden, get used to the idea of having a little sister around. When Brooklyn finally made her debut we were all so excited. It was really neat to introduce Sunday to the first "special baby" in our lives. We love Brooklyn so much already!
Gosh, there has been so much stuff going on behind the scenes here at Sincerely, Liz, and I wish I could tell you guys ALL about it! We are currently working on a new website, preparing to announce a super-special Valentine's Day opportunity, preparing for the 2013 wedding season, and so much more! I am loving all of it! In the meantime, I still have a ton of sessions to share with you guys. While I'm sharing about my paleo challenge (journey!) over here, I will be posting some more photography related things here on the main part of the blog for a little while. First up - sweet baby Callie. Callie's session is the first of many newborn portrait sessions on the calendar this year! And of course I was totally fighting baby fever after spending the morning holding and cuddling her. I know everyone talks about that "baby smell" that new babies have. Okay, well mothers talk about it. And before I became a mom I could defnitely identify the scent of a newborn baby. But, now that I have held my own babe for hours on end... I not only idenfity the scent... I feel like I am swimming in it when I hold a newborn these days!! Am I alone here? It's just this... BAM... here's a NEWBORN! "I smell like sour milk but isn't it the best smell in the whole world?!" Yes, baby. It really, really is the best smell in the universe.
Oh dear... I am in for some trouble this year! Haha. Okay - onto Callie!!
Callie's big sister, Olivia, made her debut on the blog a few years ago. So of course I was honored to have the opportunity to photograph Callie as well. Just like big sis, Callie was a most excellent model. I am loving the rosy rompers mama bought for her session, too - so, so perfect! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from her session:

I am headed out the door to meet my father in law for dinner (and tax talk - great way to wait until the last minute, huh?) but I wanted to post this quick sneak peek from yesterday's newborn session. This sweet girl was an absolute dream to work with, despite being older than most of my newborns. One of my favorite things about newborn sessions is simply holding the babes. I love to swaddle them up tight and just admire their soft skin and newborn scent. Baby O's mom and dad were so great about me holding her between set ups and I think that may have had something to do with her cooperation. Or... well... maybe she's just another one of those perfect little girls. ;) Yes, let's go with that!
Anyway, mom and dad, I hope you love these!!
and we can't forget their FIRST baby girl, Sadie!
