Now I don’t usually ever do this. I like all my text at the top of a post, but this time follow along as I tell of the most beautiful story I have had the joy of capturing in a long time. I feel so blessed to have been there with one of my best friends. I love her and her family to pieces. Leah. Thank you. Thank you.

Dear Baby Love,

This grand day all started with a bowl of strawberries & blueberries. Your momma texted me this morning.“Better than Christmas!”

A witty idea that your mom put together. Blueberries means Boy. Strawberries means girl. See below. 

Mommy picked this wonderful little restaurant called the Highland Grill as the spot. Your dad, mom and older brother are so excited. Here the server would take the envelope from the doctor and make either blueberry pancakes or strawberries pancakes. Isn’t your mommy creative?Mom and Dad were still stumped at what you were going to be.Your brother was too….and he was kinda hungry.

While the pancakes were cooking in the kitchen we took some pictures still guessing if you were going to be a boy or  a girl.

Your brother joined in too.

Well, like I said he was hungry and with his newly found words kept saying bllluuueberry. Straaaawbeerry. I bet you will like them too.

Then the time came and the server was coming with THE PANCAKES.

Mommy, Daddy and Isaac closed their eyes tight.

Then they opened their eyes and a burst of tears, laughter and kisses entered the room.

Blueberries means you are a BOY. Two boys in your house. SO exciting. Dad and Mom were overjoyed.

Your brother however, just hungry. I am sure you will understand when you are almost two. Priorities right Isaac?

Look at your parents faces. They love you SO much already and just have beautiful JOY of finding out you are a boy.

And then we celebrated……Which in two photographers minds is taking more pictures.

Ok no more close up shots. Aunt Gina is getting hungry.

Isn’t your momma the most beautiful thing ever?

Calls were made. The Grandpa & Grandma’s are excited to meet you. As well as the ever important Uncle Wee Wee.

You are entering into a family of pure sweetness. A Mom and Dad that loves you to pieces already. Exactly the way you are. Just like they love each other. A big brother who is going to be your partner in crime. There also is a pup and two kitties at home to meet as well.

And this bring us to the end of the story. Baby Love you are an absolute blessing in so many lives already. Keep growing and letting your family nuture you. God loves you.

I’m so excited to meet you Mr. Baby Love. The END.

Ps. Now I know your mom & dad sway toward you playing hockey or soccer, but work on your basketball moves in mommas tummy. Aunt Gina will help you with your skills. 😉

Love. Sushi. Style.

Yes. The end of the big V day, and here is my little post on two of my favorite things.

Sushi and Love.

It’s as simple as that. I heart sushi with a passion (prefferably brown rice + salmon + avocado) and I heart love. Seeing love. God’s love. Loving others. Seeing others love on each other. So I put them together, styled and had some pretty people model for me. This dress is divine. It’s a bridesmaid look from the Wedding Shoppe.

So enjoy your evening with your favorite loved one. Encourage someone. Make someone’s day. evening. moment. I dare you.
