“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Psalm 139:14

I have been following this child since before she was born. Literally. Last Sunday, Michael + I were privileged to visit and photograph the growing Mallard brood! Blake + Kiley have been great friends of ours for awhile, and when we walked in the front door of their beautiful new home, I had to stop for a moment and take a breath. There, lining the walls of the front foyer, were all the photos that I had taken of Kiley when she was pregnant, and Evie when she was 10 days old.

Let me tell you, there is no greater joy or honor for me than being able to document important parts of people’s lives- not simply for being able to put your name on a piece of art; but to be able to connect with people on a personal level.

Let’s go back for a minute.

One of my favorite images from when Blake + Kiley were expecting:

And Evie at 10 days old (how TINY is she?!):

And here is Evie now at 1 year old!

Such a happy baby!!

Reminds me of “Finding Nemo”.

BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meet Calvin.

I love Calvin. Calvin has blue eyes.

Their pride and joy I love this one.

If this doesn’t melt your heart, I don’t know what would.

More bubbles and some yummy light.

And just to make your day…

Thanks ya’ll! We love ya and can’t wait for more!

Lauren + Mike
