it's been a while, but i have a good excuse!
little lila claire decided to bless us with an early appearance and was born three and a half weeks ahead of schedule on november 23. our little family is doing amazingly well and i can't even recall what life was like before lila arrived. everything just seems a little more perfect these days :)
mark and i have been spending most of our time just sitting and staring at our little girl, so she hasn't seen a lot of time in front of my camera just yet, but here's one quick little shot from when she was two days old... it's amazing how much she has changed already!
i'm sure there will be lots more where that came from in the upcoming weeks!
.....................................
i have a few other posts to catch up on as well in the next little while as well -- like andrea and chad's wedding i was booked to shoot on november 22... (notice anything interesting about the date?)
until then. xox, andrea.
Wow! Congrats Andrea... she's just precious. :)
I'm sure she's going to see *lots* of time in front of the camera eventually... looking forward to seeing the pics!

Hey Andrea! Since you shot my wedding back in Oct 2007, I've been stopping by your blog to see all of your awesome photos. I just wanted to say hi and congratulations! What a darling baby! She certainly looks like her mommy! We're excitedly expecting our own little girlie in February. :) (Too bad we're all the way in Maryland or I'd be trying to get a maternity session! :) )
Take care and enjoy your beautiful new blessing. :)
Warm regards,
Amy

uuuuuum, she is GORGEOUS! I can't believe she is only 2 days old in this picture! I follow your blog because I think you are an amazing photographer and I love the effects you do to your images! you are very talented! I am curious how you pronounce your baby's name. I have a little girl named Olea and I call her Lela (Lee-la) is it the same way? anyway, congrats!!
