I heart faces (best face of May)
I had the pleasure of witnessing my friends welcome their new little man into the world a couple of days ago. It is such a beautiful, crazy, awe-inspiring, scary, emotion filled experience and I have a few pictures that captured that raw emotion. This is one of my favorites faces of not only May, but of this year. Head on over to I Heart Faces to see some of the other amazing entries!

I Heart Faces (Motherhood)
Motherhood is hard work right from the beginning. Women keep their bodies in the best health as possible while pregnant to keep their baby as safe as possible while growing and developing. 9 months of giving up food that gives you heartburn, caffeine, and anything else your baby decides is not acceptable. This all while beating up your insides (which is quite fantastic in the beginning, before they get too strong). Then comes labor. Ohhhh labor. Not really a fun time at all. It is painful and long with some embarrassing moments thrown in. But...in the end, it is all worth it. When your baby is handed to you for the first time, all of that "work" flies right out the window. All that matters now is that precious life you hold in your arms. Watching them grow and change into little beings is by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Being a mom will always be hard at times, but there is so much reward in it, the struggles make the joys that much more awesome!
This is my entry for this weeks I Heart Faces. I had the privilege of photographing my good friends birth. This was one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed. Going through labor and experiencing a birth are two totally different things. Because of this day, I have so much more respect for this friend. She is a CHAMP! So strong, so empowering, so MOM! This was one of the most intense times of the days. Resting in between the final pushes and I have never seen her look more beautiful.

New photos!
I was in desperate need of updating my nieces pictures since it had been close to a year since we did the last set and they have grown a ton since then! So, when they were here for Easter, we did a mini session and got some great shots. Updated my kiddo's photos as well. We still need photos on our wall so that may be my Mother's Day gift :-) I will also be posting some pictures soon of my new nephew. Charlie is coming on Wed. Can't wait to meet him :-) Now onto photos....
Caidan is growing so fast! I can not believe he is at the end of 2nd grade! Life really needs to slow down! He is super energetic, soft hearted and extremely giving. Also, our entertainer, always dancing and singing!
Camden is our little stinker. He is a curious little guy who thinks he is in charge. Thankfully he is also a sweetheart. It balances things out a bit. This is the first set of pictures I have taken where he was not making his goofy cheesy smile where he closes his eyes!!
Cael is our laid back, easy going little man. He is happy 95% of the time, loves to sleep, smile and play. He has grown up way too fast as well. He won't be 2 until the end of August and yet he speaks in short sentences already. I already miss my "baby."
This is my oldest Niece, Anais. I stayed with my sister after she was born and spent a lot of time with her within her first year of life. I recently found a pile of photos from that time and am amazed at how grown up she is becoming. Everytime I see her, she is closer to my height and more gorgeous than the time before! Good luck with that Kirsten :-) teehee
Soso is almost a kindergartner which is crazy to me. She is so sweet and goofy! She also loved being in front of the camera, although running around with my boy's was quite tempting as well. When she was born, I also moved into my sisters for a month or two to help out. It was so nice to get to know them so young and help out where I could. I also has started dating my now husband when she was itty bitty. It was great being in the Cities, getting to know two new loves of my life :-)
This is Greta, soon to be big sister of Charlie. She is so smart and her curls are ridiculous! When she smiles, her eyes just shine! She is such a sweet little girl, she is going to make a GREAT big sister this Wed!!
