the earleys live down the street from me. they needed some photos to put together a book for their upcoming adoption so we hung out + let the kids play while i took some photos. it was such a refreshing session and one that i would have in a heartbeat for my family.

i think the pictures prove the abundance of love that is in their home. i can’t wait to meet the sweet baby that comes home to scout + hudson.

These are the pictures we as mom’s want to remember. Making dinner while the kiddos play. Putting on shoes, laying on floor playing a board game. The “lovie” lying on the floor. How many times have we had to look for that thing before bed? We forget to pull out the camera for the everyday things & those moments are where the memories are! The memories that shaped us mom’s when we were kids & the moments that shape our own little people everyday. Thank you Erin for capturing the essence of family!

just this tonight because i feel like it. i watched wyatt swim today and eliza attempted to ride her bike without training wheels. nothing spectacular happened. wyatt was not the fastest and got lots of commentary on his silliness and lack of form. eliza tried, fell off, and decided that she wanted to ride some more with her training wheels. it’s no skin off of their back, nor mine. i love them just the way they are. their hearts are so special to me and i just pray that they know this forever and ever. amen.

i love this girl. so much. anna was born 12 weeks prematurely. she came into our unit because her mom was very sick and anna needed to be delivered. i got to take care of her the day after she was born and the day her mom was taken to our city’s larger hospital because she was so sick. i remember walking into anna’s room and getting report on her. she could fit in the palm of my hand, but was breathing on her own and doing everything right. she was a strong little one from the start. i told her dad that she was feisty, doing great, and that he needed to go with his wife: i would take good care of anna.

anna’s mom was in the hospital for the first week or so i took care of her. her dad would come and do skin to skin with her, take videos, and pictures to take back to her mom. i couldn’t wait for her mom to see what a strong little girl she had. the next weekend i was at work, her mom got released from her hospital and came to visit anna grace. it was amazing to see her get to cuddle her little girl for the first time. i told her how strong her baby was and how well she was doing. i took care of anna almost every day i worked. she lived up to her name and was strong and graceful her entire stay.

i’m so happy i was lucky enough to be able to capture her at 8 months and appreciate how far she has come. plus, i got to feed her, rock her, and kiss on her. she makes my heart so happy. i love you anna grace!

What awesome and amazing photos Erin!!! We absolutely LOVE them!! You captured the true Anna Grace. We are so glad that you came in to our lives and I’m sure Anna will never forget you (and neither will I). She seemed right at home snuggling with you after the shoot. We love you and I am so glad that you were the one to take her first photos. Thank you so much XOXOXO
