There are few moments in life as awe-inspiring as watching a new baby breathe in their first breaths.  And I’m sure there are no words to capture it… I’m so glad I get to share it with you in photographs <3

To see a few more images and read the amazing story of Jacob’s birth – please visit his mama’s blog and hear it first hand.

Congratulations to all – especially to his incredible mother, who gave birth to all ten-pounds-eight-ounces of him peacefully at home.

I think it’s safe to say, Anna was my first friend as a toddler. Our moms were great friends and we spent many mornings in tumble tots classes and afternoons playing at the park together. Our brother’s would go fishing at Lake Waterford. Although I don’t remember a lot of the details of being that little, both my mom and Ms. Betty took great care to have many photos of every day. So, it was a great honor and incredible joy to be able to photograph this very special day. I can’t tell you how many of the details had me choking back happy tears – and each detail was more beautiful than the last!

I’m a wife, mother of 2, coffee lover, fitness junkie, and social media addict.

Being a mom of two, I know how difficult it can be to remember to feed yourself. You get busy, kids’ needs come first, and you always have a list of 100 things that need to be completed. When you do finally remember, it can be hard to find something quick that’s also healthy. That’s where Shakeology enters. Shakeology is a 100% all natural meal replacement/protein/multivitamin shake. It includes 70+ vitamins and minerals from amazing superfoods found across the world. Those vitamins and minerals give you a natural boost of energy, lower cholesterol, promote brain and muscle development, help your skin, hair, and nails, and promote regularity.

The Nurturing Root

Nourish your body and spirit with help from The Nurturing Root. Our placenta encapsulation specialist will introduce you to the miraculous benefits of the placenta for postpartum recovery.

Having a baby is both joyous and overwhelming. Many women suffer from postpartum hormone imbalances, resulting in emotions ranging from irritability and the so-called “baby blues” to more serious forms of clinical depression. Placenta encapsulation has been practiced for centuries as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to treat these imbalances and to counteract fatigue and lactation issues in new mothers.
