Carter

*sigh*  It’s been such a treat to be able to snuggle and photograph two gorgeous, brand new babies this week.  I love my job.

I first met Carter’s mama, Rachel, two summers ago when I photographed her sister Charlotte’s wedding in PEI.  Rachel & Charlotte are both just so genuinely sweet and lovable.  SO, when the I met up with Charlotte again this summer at a couple of weddings I was photographing and she told me that Rachel was expecting, I was SO SO happy!  Then, when Charlotte made arrangements for me to do a newborn session with them, I was THRILLED!

Carter was such a good little model!  Once his belly was full and he was snuggled, he drifted off and let me do my thing.  Thanks guys for making the long drive…. I’m so glad you did!

Isn’t he SO handsome???

Isabella

I don’t even know where to begin telling you about how amazing little baby Isabella is.  Of course, every baby is a precious gift.  But to Isabella’s mom & dad, she’s an absolute miracle.  After years of struggling with infertility, with the help of some specialists and some Divine assistance, the very tiny, beautiful beginnings of Isabella began in a little dish in a private Halifax clinic.  Her mom, Bobbi, told me that they have pictures of her when she was just a little cell!  Not many people have those kinds of photos for their scrapbooks!  Being a high risk pregnancy, Bobbi had weekly checkups throughout her pregnancy and got to watch Isabella grow at these weekly ultrasounds.  I had the privilege of spending a couple hours with these two ladies this week for a photo session at their home.  I even got to snuggle Isabella for a while!  I feel so honoured to have been asked to photograph such an incredible, gorgeous little girl!

We took all of the images in Isabella’s fabulously decorated bedroom.  Here she is with her beautiful mama…

While visiting with Bobbi during the session, I discovered that she runs her own fashion design studio (Bobbi Leigh Designs) from her home in Fredericton.  She specializes in wedding gowns & accessories as well as formal wear such as prom gowns.  If you’re looking for a fabulous custom gown for your event from one seriously fabulous lady, be sure to call Bobbi!  Her number is 506-453-9988

Self Improvements

I could use some upgrades.  A Heather V2.0, if you will.

These aren’t so much new year’s resolutions (good thing since it’s almost February!).  They are just some relatively smaller things that I’d like to improve about myself and my lifestyle and I figure if I put in on the internet, then maybe they are more likely to happen.  Along with sharing the goals, I’ll share the current reality so that there’s some comparison there by which to measure things later.

Current Reality #1:
I hardly ever read. I buy books because I want to read them… I just don’t do it.  Chapters is one of my favouite stores, and yet I’m not a reader!

Goal #1:
To read a book per month… and not just Levi’s Little Critter’s stories.  An actual book book, like one of the dozens that I’ve bought and haven’t read yet.

Current Reality #2:
I’ve owned this Pilates DVD for approx 3 years now, and the only time I ever turned it on was last week to see how hard it was going to be and I sat and ate a bag of Mini Eggs while watching it.  Not doing it, watching it.

Goal #2:
To actually DO the Pilates workout 3 times each week….. sans Mini Eggs.

Current Reality #3:
We tend to avoid doing the dishes.  Usually, we’ll spend like 10 minutes rearranging the dishwasher to try to cram stuff in instead of just taking 5 minutes and washing them by hand.  Sometimes days go by without washing a frying pan or pot.  There was this one time last year that I actually threw out a $20 roasting pan instead of washing it.  Seriously.

Goal #3:
To do the dishes right after a meal, and therefore cram and run the dishwasher less often.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, my friends.  I’ll report back later on these, and add some new ones to the pile.  Now that you know, world wide web, I pretty much have to follow through.

Stay tuned for images from two newborn sessions this week!
