She’s sooooo cute, and I absolutely love this age when they’re starting to walk and changing so much every day and learning so much and becoming little tiny people!! Gabrielle is so animated and has the best expressions ever, from her wide-eyed wondering expression, to her big smile, to her even bigger silly smile! I know I’ve said it before, but she so takes after her parents cause Adrian and Angela are so happy and smile and laugh so much, so of course Gabrielle does as well!! I loved seeing her walk all over, and she had a favorite blue toy that she wanted to hold all the time (blue is definitely her favorite color right now which is so cool, I didn’t realize babies had favorite colors!), oh and she’s so cute with mirrors – she smiles so big at herself and she kisses her reflection!! And I LOVE her red hair so much!!! At the end I got to pick her up and hold her for a couple minutes and I was so in love, she’s just the sweetest little girl!!!

Thank you so much to Angela, Adrian, Gabrielle, and Kasey!! I love seeing you all and seeing how Gabrielle grows and changes!! Here are some of my favorites!! ::

I always love these photos, the expressions are so cute and funny to me!!!

I LOVE this group, they’re so so so adorable!!!!

Gabrielle was fast asleep when I first got there, but she woke up soon after and for such a tiny little newborn, she was awake for the rest of the time I was there! She ate a few times, she was a good little eater! And she was really strong – whenever we put her on her tummy she would push her legs out and roll over on her side. And I didn’t yet mention how adorable and tiny she was!!! I still had a bit of runny nose from my cold so I didn’t want to touch her, but I secretly so wanted to hold her! Oh and a funny little thing – her eyes, especially her right eye, kept going cross-eyed! And I loved seeing her long fingers (and super-fast-growing fingernails!), and her hair that has a definite red tint to it!

Thank you so much to Angela and Adrian for having me over to your home again and letting me take photos of Gabrielle during her precious newborn time. And thank you to sweet Kasey for being so cute and bringing your toy over and posing for photos as well! I’m so happy for you all and the start of your life with Gabrielle, and I wish you so much joy and laughter and happiness!

Gabrielle was upset that Kansas City was so bad this year.

I went to Angela and Adrian’s house and we took lots of fabulous photos – this was my first maternity shoot so I’m so excited by how so many turned out! Angela and Adrian were so fun to be around – they had so much fun together, laughed together all the time, and I loved seeing their interactions and the silliness and also how excited they both are about this little baby coming! And Kasey was so adorable both with posing and with bringing his little toy over all the time!

When we were finished, I talked for awhile with the two of them about food and diet and all kinds of interesting things, and I want to learn more. They both seem so wonderful, and I wish them so much joy with the birth and meeting their new little baby and all the excitement that will come with it! And now, here are some of my favorites from the day!!
