The official announcement
Wow, sometimes it is still hard to believe I am a mom! It has been almost 8 weeks since Josephine arrived. It is so hard but all worth it when she smiles, laughs, and even farts her little head off! We are truly smitten with her. In the last few weeks, we have been able to get out of the house a bunch and meet-up with other moms in the neighborhood and even venture into Manhattan for a playmate / photo shoot with an October 2009 bride of mine and her new daughter Meghan! (Pictures from that shoot to come!) I love wearing her in a wrap and she usually falls asleep pretty quick. (She is in it right now, looking so peaceful!)
I’m also excited to have been accepted into WeDo, a new networking group of wedding vendors in New York. The first meeting of the new year is next week and I’m in the process of finding a sitter. Almost wish I could just take her with me, but that might be a little unprofessional. :)
Here are just a few images from the first 8 weeks.

When I found out back in March that we’d be expecting in December, I knew that there were some weddings I’d be unable to photograph. Luckily, my good friend and fellow wedding photographer Tory Williams agreed to fly to New Orleans and photograph Lizzie and Alex’s wedding! I had a blast editing and processing the whole day, so many good ones to choose from. I’m still bummed I couldn’t make it, I mean, check out all the pretty details and general loveliness below! Tory and Victoria, who also ran the photo booth, did a great job and I’m so happy everything worked out. Lizzie and Alex, I wish you both all the best!

Kristi and Cale have a flair for the dramatic, as seen in their fun engagement shoot awhile back. Looking to make a dramatic entrance to the wedding, Kristi decided to hitch a ride in on a street car. Unluckily, the RTA is not one for sticking to a schedule! After waiting awhile, she had to abort that mission, but I totally give her props for trying it! (Might I suggest to the bride looking to do this, I’d rent one to guarantee on time arrival.) But she and Cale took things in stride, laughing as not one, but 3 street cars passed during the ceremony! All in all, everyone had a fantastic time, and it was great to see some of my Gamma Phi Beta sisters. And thanks for the two fleur de lis wine glass favors, they somehow made it back to NY intact!

I’ve known Shelley since she was, well, a baby! I first met her older sister Robin when I was 4 and we lived in the same neighborhood. Many living room plays, family vacations, and other milestones later, it is wonderful to see her grown-up and find such a great guy. It was such an honor to be there behind the scenes for their wonderful wedding. Todd is a lucky guy for sure!

When Natalie and I first met for drinks last February in New York, neither of us could have predicted the physical changes we’d have to deal with on her wedding – Natalie was on crutches following knee surgery and I was 8 months pregnant! Needless to say, everything went well and Natalie and Ryan had a beautiful and fun day. I just love the unique hankies she found for each guest to use during the second line, and the robes from Plum Pretty Sugar.
