Since a couple of maternity/newborn items are being awarded as prizes … I thought I would take a minute to share this as well …

(ETA: if you are reading this in a reader, make sure to ‘click through’ on the post title so you can see the video :)

I have to admit when Harrison’s mommy wrote this on facebook, it made me tear up as well, “Thanks again Chelsey, I never thought that seeing us through your eyes would be that amazing and emotional :) thanks for having the kleenex handy!”

Thanks for sharing your beautiful new boy with the world, Jacque! He is so loved already.

Someone got two new teeth! And yes, he’s very happy about it! (Us too!) One popped through & then, within a week, the 2nd one made an appearance. The drool, however, is still working overtime. So maybe there’s another two or three hiding in there. Somehow this one made a little appearance over on the [...]

And yes, he’s very happy about it! (Us too!) One popped through & then, within a week, the 2nd one made an appearance. The drool, however, is still working overtime. So maybe there’s another two or three hiding in there.

Somehow this one made a little appearance over on the Facebook page … they’re just so darn cute, I couldn’t help myself! ;)

‘this is the start of something good, don’t you agree’

Somehow, ever so briefly, I found a quick few minutes of reading time & smiled as I read how one of my Wisconsin-photographer-friends (we like hyphenated titles like that ) wrote & reflected on her year.

Somehow, ever so briefly, I found a quick few minutes of reading time & smiled as I read how one of my Wisconsin-photographer-friends (we like hyphenated titles like that ;) ) wrote & reflected on her year. What really grabbed my attention was how symbolic ending the year photographing a newborn was for her. And then I realized for me, I literally closed the door on 2011 photographing this beautiful couple & their baby to be. A lovely maternity session, nestled snug in the hills, but still only a few degrees warmer than it was in town. (I saw two people out jogging that day, at twenty-two below zero. Yes … yes I did. I wish I could say I was one of those people who was motivated by that. Instead I literally shivered & went, ohmygawd it’s too cold to be running outside!)

I am so lucky to end & start my year (and continue my career) with something so amazing and so quietly symbolic. Bringing a baby into this world … love … tender kisses … it’s all so representative of what’s to come, ending the year expecting a new little bundle and starting the year fresh & new, with a little one in your arms … and yes, even sunshine ‘on a cloudy day’ rings true. Pretty amazing. Very emotional. Babies will do that to you. And your life.

Thank you Jacque & Robert …’this is the start of something good, don’t you agree
