I LOVE this photo. I think it's beautiful - the way... it... captures... so much. My mommy heart just explodes into a billion pieces when I look at it.
Back-story: A couple of weeks ago, when Baby Dude was already a month old, it dawned on me - I haven't ever had tiny baby pictures taken of any of my kids. Guilt guilt guilt. REGRET. REGRET. REGRET. And as we all know (and occasionally mourn), you can't rewind time. I called my close friend, Emily, - who is not only a close friend but photographer extraordinaire - bemoaning this revelation and she smacked me upside the head & booked me stat. Like a doctor for the lazy, sickhearted mom!
I was also lamenting the fact that much like my mid-section, I've kind of let this blog 'go'. I want to have fun with it! Care again! DO something fun! And since she and I once shared a very small twin bed in Amsterdam amidst a roomful of high British-men to save her from an even bigger roomful of high Arab-men (hello political correctedness), she has graciously allowed me to have some fun with the main ingredient being HER! Yipppeee!
She's a high-end photographer, people (some may or may not be rich and famous) pay her lots of money to capture the very best of who/what they are. If you clickety click over to her site (<--click!) and tell her you came over from my blog, she'll give the first 10 to book an affordable photography package (weekdays only, the girl's busy, people)! Click all around in there - if you click enough, you'll see a picture of my Coco in her 'kids and family' section and I do believe that is my most favorite picture on her site. Prejudice smedjudice. Makes me want to have her take up modeling to pull her weight around here. You want MORE milk? Princess umbrella? Shoes too small? Get a job.
Seriously, Emily is AWE.SOME. She has found her calling. She also has a blog (<--) so you can see more of her recent shoots. Capturing the NOW is so important... I'm all still just gushy over my recent session and want it for you too! AAAAnd, it's just in time to wrap up your lovelies for Christmas!
How's that for fun?!
PS: Do you SEE that face on Baby Dude? That belly? Those fists? The receding 40 year old hairline? Plus he's even softer than he looks. Oh, how I love him.

That is a preciously lovely picture. I dig it. Emily always does such nice work. I look forward to seeing more.
That is the most beautiful picture. Emily does great work! She had a pretty great subject, too!
Even as beautiful as the picture is, and it is a work of art, it's next to impossible to capture the whole heart of mommy love. However, I think Emily came as close as possible. Love her work!
Emily is going to have more bookings than she can handle after your many friends see this outstanding, beautiful, inspiring, heartfelt photo.
