Today is just another day. Yesterday I was so sick and I think the heat is making it so much worse. Since when do we have summers like this in Boulder? I know that August is usually hot, but June-no. Boulder is better than that. Show us how laid back you are. How mellow and lovely to live in you are. We love you but we don’t have air conditioning so you can not do this to us in June.

Ah-but when I move back in to my treehouse I will have air-they are just window units since we have radiant heat in the floors for the winter (which means no forced air ducts push out the central air). But that will be MUCH better than the two fans and the dripping, cold, wet wash cloth on my forehead right now.

This is Gabriel, Elodie’s (from yesterday), little brother. I have been photographing this family from the start, and then they moved away, tried other photographers, and were never happy, so they made sure to book a session with me when they were in town this summer for just a few days.I love them-they are always so good and kind and wonderful to me and I am honored that they want ME as their photographer.

When I post more of their session (and I will because it was so perfect and fun!), I will link to all the sessions back to when Elodie was just turning 1 and learning to walk. I have said it before-one of the greatest gifts of this job is seeing the little ones grow up-to see what their personality is as a newborn and then just knowing how they will be as a 6 month old, 1 year old, 2 year old, etc… After photographing so many babies, I now just know what their temperament will be from the moment I meet them. Yeah, I am awesome. I have a super hero power. So, if you are interested in what your baby will be like in a few years, book a newborn portrait session with me. I will tell you. It is included in the session fee. Future reading. That is how good I am.

Anyways, I am working on getting healthy today, not promising anything to anyone bc that truly does get me into trouble and stresses me out. Instead, I cleaned my office to make my mind clear (it really does work), and I am just going to do one. thing. at. a. time. (I have that quote next to my computer. I might put it on the subway art I mentioned I was learning how to create yesterday. It would be perfect, and I need to remember it so many times throughout the day. One thing at a time. SO simple!

I just wanted to post these four photos together because they really show the joy and love and connection between this sweet baby and his father. These are the moments that I love to capture, and I usually get a little series like this so that it can tell a story.

That’s all for now. Might go to the hospital tonight. If I do, I will let you know, unless I am really sick, in which case I will just stop blogging and you will know.  And, if someone wants to come visit I would welcome you.
