March was a big month for us!! Our baby girl got to meet so many new people and she also received her first sacrament!

laura loves march1. Elodie is smiling and cooing more every day and it is *so much fun* to watch!! Her two-month photo session was a success. :-)

2. My BFF and her little boy came to visit this month! In this photo, he was 7.5 months and she was 7.5 weeks. We’ve come to realize that all of Elodie’s pants are going to be capris.

3. Meeting the cousins! The boys loved holding Elodie, and Isaac couldn’t stop saying how cute she was.

4. Baptism! Can you believe she slept through the whole ceremony? We’re pretty smitten.

I just *love* hearing how couples meet – it’s one of those life stories that will be told to kids and grandkids and inquisitive photographers such as myself. :-) For Jaden + Megan, it was being paired up to walk down the aisle together as bridesmaid + groomsman at a friend’s wedding. They met a couple months before the wedding, and were dating by the time their friends said ‘I do.’ AND NOW IT’S THEIR TURN!!!

February has definitely been full of love – our little girl has totally stolen our hearts, and the well wishes from our friends and family have been absolutely heartwarming!

So many things to love this month, but here is the official list:

2015 feb fav

1. Elodie. Obviously. Can you believe she is a month old today?! (I imagine her saying ‘hooray!’ in this photo. :-))
2. Bows. This made my ‘monthly favorites’ list way back when, but I’m bringing it back because they make little girls look soooooo adorable!!
3. Your thoughts and prayers as we adjust to this new (wonderful) lifestyle. They are all so very much appreciated!!
4. Parenthood. No, not our journey of parenthood so far (although it’s been fun), I’m talking about the series finale of the tv show. I FINALLY watched it! I didn’t want it to end, but I loved the way it did.
My favorite part was the family portrait segment – the interactions between all the different groupings, and then Camille looking through the prints later. How they showcased the importance of those photos made me, as a wedding photographer, very happy. :-)

I’m guessing you all know why my monthly favorites post is a little late…

If not, I’ll fill you in – WE HAD A BABY!!!!! And that’s pretty much my favorite thing that happened in January. :-)

jan favorites elodie blogElodie Beth made us wait nine days past her due date before meeting her, but she was totally worth waiting for!! We love everything about her – her tiny nose, her frequent hiccups, the way she crosses her ankles and keeps her hands up by her face (just like in the ultrasound photos). She is a wonderful baby and we are loving being parents!

You know what’s fun about engagement sessions? Meeting these lovely people and getting a sneak peek into what their big day might be like. Are they goofy? Are they sweet? Do they make each other laugh? Most of the time it’s a combination of (or all of) the above, and I fall in love and start counting down the days to their wedding! :-)

Here are my *favorite* engagement images from 2014! Enjoy!
