"What are little girls made of?

Sugar, spice and everything nice."

Kids are unpredictable.  I have learned a couple things while doing photos of toddlers.  They usually last through about 45 minutes of photo taking.  Get the important pictures done first!  They move, fast.  So be prepared and have a quick shutter speed!  There are an endless variety of faces and expressions that they make.  Each is as wonderfully unexpected as the next!  Most importantly, I've learned that they are the most fun busy you'll ever have! 

Oh Ms Em!  You are your momma through and through!  You're feisty and full of energy and make me giggle to tears!  While still crawling I had to run to keep up with you!  Your momma was thinking when she took the rocking horse she used to play with and how fun to see you sit and read yourself a book!  You are growing up so fast!  I cannot wait to see what's in store for this spunky sweetheart!

"Love is a symbol of eternity.

It wipes out all sense of time, 

destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end."

With each engagement shoot I learn about a new couple, their story, their shared passions.  I feel like, each time, I fall in love with their love story.  With a fairly "Switzerland" exterior, I will always cave, give into my girly genetics and side with the love story.  That is always what I hope to portray in the photos.  Not so much two individuals standing together in a field with a beautifully painted backdrop.  But, rather, a love story in what seems to be at its peak, waiting to take its next step.  

You two are a beautiful pair and hilarious to boot.  You kept me guessing and I guess I kept you kissing!  (Sorry Ryan!)  You two handled the 95 degree heat with style and made this such a fun shoot!  From the green stilettos and little black dress, to the guns and camo you gave these photos some serious variety!  Although, I must admit, my favorite addition was Angus!  Well done you two!  Bring on the April festivities!

"A baby makes love stronger,

the days shorter,

the nights longer,

savings smaller,

clothes dirtier,

and a home happier."

 The start to each life is different and unique.  No two stories are the same.  I've heard many over the years and seen all of the changes this little life brings.  But no one story as unique and intelligently designed as this.  The planned, unplanned, fears, hopes, surprises, dreams,  tears and so much more all poured over this seven pound miracle.  The ups and downs all worth the ride despite the twists and turns you never expected.  It is a privilege to capture the start of this beautiful life and all of the lives she has forever changed.

Welcome to the world sweet baby girl.  I'm amazed at your early attentive eyes and melt at your heartbreaking whimper.  You are the picture of a blessing in so many un thought of ways.  A blank slate with so many possibilities.  Although, I'm sure somewhere on that blank slate is written "Twins Fan" and "Fisher".  You have the rest of your life to become as amazing as we all know you will be.  

One thing that is for sure...

Sweet Hannah, you are loved by so many.
