In an effort to expand my horizons, and to beat the mid-winter photography blues, I posted a quick status the other day on my Facebook page, asking for volunteers for a newborn lifestyle session.  It just so happened that one of my followers had literally given birth TWO days before I posted this, and eagerly agreed!  I cannot be more thankful that Amy responded, because I loved EVERY MINUTE of their Lifestyle session, which took place last Sunday morning in their Lawrence home.  Amy and her husband Jason are the parents of 4 amazing kids; Alex, Elsa, Isaac, and now baby Stella.  I thoroughly enjoyed documenting their Sunday morning as they did their usual Sunday morning things…playing, reading, cooking and eating breakfast, and just being together as a family.

 

Dad prepares breakfast while the kids play…with fresh coffee, of course!

I love their chalkboard wall!!

Isaac talked to his baby sister for the longest time…just melted my heart.

And of course, big sister Elsa is just THRILLED to have a baby around the house. They are going to be the absolute best of friends. :)  I think that bottom image is a smile!

While big sister played with baby Stella, mom Amy and Isaac had some super adorable cuddle time <3

Too fast for the camera ;-)

“BREAKFAST TIME!”

Elsa telling baby Sister all about the Tickle Monster :)

A flower for baby sister…

Ok, when I saw this image below for the first time, I have to admit, I had some major tears going on.  Even looking at it now makes me choke up.  Such an absolutely beautiful moment…

And now it’s tickle monster time :)

Their resident tabby…MAYBE not so much of a fan of the other newest member of the household. :)

Girl time <3

 

The End.  <3

A big thank you again to this amazing family for letting me come invade the household for a few hours on a lazy weekend morning.  I am truly blessed to have met you all!
