maine children’s photographer – True Life is Beautiful

I feel silly.

There. I said it.

It’s snowing… beautiful little white flakes of snow falling ever so gently outside my window, making me feel excited for the upcoming holidays. And here I am playing catch up with posting my daily photos. You’ve seen perhaps January, February, March, April, May and June. If not, click on the months in the previous sentence and it should pop up. Now, it’s November on the calendar and July on my computer. Celebrate a little warm sunshine, blooming flowers, beach scenes, lobster and fresh berries. And then get back to the snow. 🙂

“In the summer, the days were long, stretching into each other.

Out of school, everything was on pause and yet happening at the same time,

this collection of weeks when anything was possible.”

―Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

This. Little. Girl.

She was born not breathing, and they didn’t know for how long she had been without oxygen. She was handled with care, this beautiful, strong, fierce little fighter, because she was precious stock and she was needed by so many people. There were lots of phone calls, texts, tears, prayers, and faith. They worked, and as it turns out, she is pretty darn perfect.

Meet Joey — Princess Warrior extraordinaire, and she is a delight! She is the granddaughter of my dear friend Kristi, and the daughter of my darling friend Lindsay, who I remember as a sweet little baby herself, and have watched grow into a lovely woman and now a mom. My heart is full that I get to now watch little Joey sprout from an infant into toddlerhood and beyond (no rush…), to document the days ahead and photograph her in all her specialness.

Ten little fingers and ten little toes. Beautiful blue eyes and a sweet button nose. I didn’t intend to make that rhyme, but there you go. She inspires me. 🙂

Enjoy these images of a sweet little one who has turned this world on it’s side — in a good way!

….and though she be but little, she is fierce.
