Many photographers I truly admire have had their work featured on Tot Trends Weekly magazine–so I must say I am very excited to now have one of my photographs featured! TTW is an awesome online magazine with some of the cutest stuff around for tots! If you have little ones you will definitely want to sign up for their newsletter. Here’s the cover for this week!

Oh! little lock of golden hue, In gently waving ringlet curl’d, By the dear head on which you grew, I would not lose you for a world. (-lord byron)

I had the honor of photographing a living miracle recently. He was born at only 28 weeks and weighed 1lb. 14oz. but you would never know it now–he is such a chunk-a-lunka! He has an amazing story and you can read all about it here.

A sneak peek for the lovely “R” family. The husband booked this session for his wife’s birthday! What a guy! And just look at this sweet baby face.

I captured these little twins as newborns and what fun it was to do it again 8 months later. They are so happy and so cute together. It is just amazing to see the connection they have.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand.
You felt so good in it; no bigger than a minute.
How it amazes me you’re changin’ with every blink.
Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon.

So let them be little,
‘Cause they’re only that way for a while.
Give ‘em hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let ‘em cry, let ‘em giggle,
Let ‘em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.

I never felt so much in one little tender touch.
I live for those kisses, your prayers an’ your wishes.
An’ now you’re teachin’ me how only a child can see.
Tonight, while we’re on our knees, all I ask is:

Please, let them be little,
‘Cause they’re only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give them praise,
Give them love every day.
Let ‘em cry, let ‘em giggle,
Let ‘em sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.

The so innocent, precious soul:
You turn around, an’ it’s time to let them go.

So let them be little,
‘Cause they’re only that way for a while.
Give them hope, give ‘em praise,
Give them love every day.
Let ‘em cry, let ‘em giggle,
Let them sleep in the middle,
Oh, but let them be little.

Let them be little.
