This is the first year shooting this adorable family and I really could not get enough. I mean seriously… could this little boy make me any more excited about adding a little man to our family? Not forgetting the beauty of this gal either, she was tipping the sweetness scale immensely. Thank you Alveys, you were wonderful to shoot.

As I stare at the computer everyday these days, playing catch up from a summer grand, I cannot help to think about how much my little family is about to change. I wander through the last five years with my sweet little friend here and reflect on how magical it really has been… how special our time has been getting to know each other. Soon now, baby brother will make his debut and I wonder about the changes that await. The swelling of love, the lack of sleep and the new relationship I will soon gain. I’m excited, scared and excited. I never grew up from a young age with siblings. I inherited a couple of sweet sisters when my mother remarried when I was 12, but never had the joy and the struggle to have someone of the same cloth and thread. I am so looking forward to this for Liv. (Image taken on a ferry ride in NYC, one of the many adventures this summer brought).
