Happy Friday, friends!
First things first — I’m just going to say it: 2012 is going to be an awesome year for love, katie photography! I was looking through my wedding contracts a few days back, and I’m totally blown away by the caliber of my 2012 couples. I’ll be shooting at some of the prettiest venues in the state this year — I absolutely can’t wait! That said, I do still have a few prime Saturdays open in 2012, so if you’re searching for a photographer, send me a message! I’d love to chat.
Secondly … Gracey. Oh dear Gracey. She’s taken up aaaall my time this past month — it’s a brand new world with little Gracey in our lives. We actually planned our pregnancy around the busy wedding season, and I’m so thankful things worked out the way they did. Newborns are a lot of work! 🙂 Gracey may be a tiny bit extra work than some babies, but it’s ok because we’re kind of, totally, no doubt about it … in love. Tommy and I found out this past week that Gracey has a milk protein intolerance, which explains nearly all of her fussiness. (I just knew it had to be something!) What this means for me is, I need to cut out all dairy and soy from my diet. (That, or we could put her on a formula that costs about as much as a second mortgage.) So, no dairy and soy it is! The diet seemed very overwhelming at first (think, mommy with fussy newborn walking around Pick ‘n Save in search of dairy- and soy-free food) … but I wholeheartedly believe in breastfeeding, so we’re going to continue on, in attempts of making it work for as long as possible.
That said, I’d like to share another (OF course) Gracey photo. 😉 These fleeting newborn moments are so, so precious. Through the sleepless nights and cries I can’t quite console, I try to take in every moment, every smell, every expression, every twitch or startle, every stretch, every baby breath. I really need a camera in every room. I’ve somehow partially convinced myself that if I take enough photos of her now, I won’t ache for these special days as time passes. Wishful, crazy thinking, right? Right. I know it’s crazy … I know I’m going to cry like a baby at her first birthday party … but, at least I’ll have the photos. Photos like this, of her tiny little baby legs … legs that kick in every which direction …
In case you’re curious where I got her leg warmers, click here. 🙂 Soooo cute! They come in all sizes, and the company has sales quite often.
Have a great weekend!
