Old friends and new life!!~ baby!!!

This was a real treat!!! I have not seen Stephanie almost since we graduated high school 10 years ago.......she has since been married to the man of her dreams and most recently had created a brand new life and welcomed their baby daughter, Madaline to the world with open arms and lots of love. Madeline is 10 weeks old and yesterday, Steph and I caught up on times, told stories of the last ten years in each others lives and I was fortunate enough to spend a little time with baby Madeline!!

Here are a couple of images from yesterday. Isn't she beautiful!!!!!!

Steph...I couldn't be more happy for you!! Madeline is more precious than any words I could ever say!! You are a beautiful mother and I wish you the absolute best!!!! and yes......more times to catch up on life is a must!! :)


...for the photog's out there.....I shot all of these with the Canon Mark III, and I used all prime lenses....the 85mm 1.2, the 100 2.8 macro and the 50mm 1.4. I shot everything between 1.2-2.8 ;)

.....the spiky hair.......wild child!!!! :)


I just love little fingers and hands..and bellies!!!!
